THE CHAPEL STREET WIDENJNO…
THE CHAPEL STREET WIDENJNO SCHEME.— UNAUTHOP.ISED BUlLDiNGS.—ROAD DIVERSION PROJECT. I 11 ox DAY. Preaen t: Messrs Jno. Pierce (chairman), Pierce Davies (vice-chairman), Jno. J Edwards, Thos. Evans, Ed. Williams, Isaac Roberts, J C Knight, Isaac Morris, and H E Prichard, with the Acting Clerk (Mr David Thomas) and the Surveyor (Mr M R Jones). A Gaining Question. Arising out of the Surveyor's report, it was r decided to ask the County Council to take over the stretch of road, about GO yards in length, I between the old approach and the new approach to the goods shed at the Railway Station. Unauthorised Buildings. Plans for a new bakehouse were submitted by Mr Edward Williams, Compton House. Replying to the Chairman, the Surveyor said the work had already been commenced. The Chairman said that from what he had seen and heard it was all but finished. The Survoyor slid he had had a talk with Mr NI illiam.9 on the subject, and he had pleaded ignorance of the regulations for starting the building without the authority of the Council. The Chairman thought irregularities of this kind called for strong handling by the Council. In fact they had a resolution on their minutes to the effect that any building erected under such circumstances should be pulled down. Mr Morris proposed and Mr Knight seconded that a letter of censure bo sent to the offender, but no one else supporting it, the proposal fell to the ground, and the plans were passed. It was also reported that Mr Williams, of the Harp Inn, was erecting a bakehouse without first submitting plans to the Council. The building, the Surveyor explained, was originally a bakehouse, which subsequently degenerated into a pigstye, and later still was converted into a stable. There seemed to be an idea abroad that there was no need for the Council's sanction to the alteration or conversion of a building. It was resolved to call for the production of the plans. The Cartaga Contract. It was decided to offer Mr Jno Vaughan 6/- z> per day for cartage till the end of the financial year. Chapel Street Widening Schema. Reference was made to the proposed widening of Chapel Street at its junction with Market Street, and Mr Evans proposed that the resolu- tion carried at the ratepayers' meeting last week, authorising the Council to purchase the land necessary to carry out this improvement, bo put into effect. Ho thought they could with reason approach the County Council to assist them in the matter, having regard to its im- portance, Chapel Street being one of the principal entrances to the town. Mr Williams, in seconding the motion, said that now the matter had been submitted to the judgment of the ratepayers nobody could charge them with having "worked" tho matter in any way. Mr Morris 'still maintained "that it was needless to call a ratepayers' meeting. After other observations the motion was carried, the Surveyor being instructed to pre- pare plans and estimates for the Local Govern- ment Board's consideration. A Mortgage. The seal of the Council was affixed to a mortgage for JE622 with the Public Works Loan Board in connection with the sowerage works at Pensarn. The Mail Train. A letter was read from Mr E W Harrop urging the Council to approach the Postmastor General with the view of petting the night mail train to stop at Abergele. It was stated that the Council had already approached the Railway Company on the question, but recognising that it was a matter in which tho Poatmaster-Goneral had to be consulted, they decided to communicate with his lordship. The Road Diversion The proposed diversion of the precipitous road between Llanfair and Llansanan was referred to, the Chairman remarking that towards the cost the St Asaph^Denbigh) Rural District Council wanted 2400 to be raised by means of voluntary subscriptions, and that £300 of that sum was already in sight. Mr Morris felt it would repay Abergele many times over to contribute the remaining EIOO. It was decided to confer with the Parish Council with a view to co-operation in collect- ing subscriptions, and failing that to convene a ratepayers' meeting.

The Rhyl Baby Mystery.
The Rhyl Baby Mystery. AN OPEN VERDICT. The adjourned inquest touching the death of a newly born female child, whose body was found in what was first believed to be a bundle of rags tossed into a garden at tho rear of Aquarium Street, Rhyl, on the 31st ult, was held at the Town Hs»ll last Friday evening. The opinion having got abroad that no further light would ( be thrown upon the mystory, and that conse- quently an open verdict was about the only conclusion the jury could ar- at;, the pro- ceedings failed to arouse iitorest. Mr F Llewelyn Jones, coroner for Flintshire, pre- sided, and the jury consisted of tho following, as before :—Messrs F P Arthur (foreman), T Wills Jones, W H Danks, J Hood, A Thomas, A Hayton, W J Gore, A Vaughan, A Crampton, T Clew ley, A Webb, E Angel, Hugh Jones, and E A Wood. Superintendent Jones, of Holy- well, and Inspector Pearson were also present, with other police officers. The Coroner said that since the opening of the inquest a fortnight ago the police had been making every possible investigation into the matter, not only in Rhyl, but in the district around. But they had been unable to ascertain anything that would throw any further light upon it. There was no evidence forth- coming as to who was the mother of the child, and in view of the fact they were no nearer unravelling the mystery than they were a fortnight ago, he thought it useless to further adjourn tho inquest. Had the police been able to trace the identity of the child, a very serious question would have had to be decided by the jury, namely, whether the mother of the child was responsible for its death, which might have involved the returning of a verdict of wilful murder or of manslaughter. Having regard to all the evidence before them, he i-hought the safest course would be to return an open verdict, though he might have directed that a verdiet of manslaughter againsb some person or persons unknown be returned. An open verdict would leave the polica quite un- fettered in the matter, and should anything further transpire the matter would doubtless ba taken up by the magistrates. An open verdict was accordingly returned, and the jury were discharged.
Rhyi Pleasant Saturday Evenings.
Rhyi Pleasant Saturday Evenings. Last Saturday evening's programme had the effect of filling the Town Hall almost to over- flowing, and it may safely be said that no one went away disappointed with the bill of fare provided. Mr P Mostyn Williams occupied the chair, and after a pianoforte solo by Miss Taylor, who set the ball rolling" in capital style, he joined those who had preceded him in their expressions of pleasure at the continued popularity of these week-end concerts. There was a time when Rhyl was complained of as a very dull town, but he did not think that charge could be sustained now. The term Three months' hard labour and nine months' solitary confinement" had sometimes been the definition of a year in Rhyl from a lodging- house keeper's point of view (laughter). But after all, the town was very much what people chose to make it (applause). These concerts helped very materially to brighten people's lives during the winter months, and they could not but do a great amount of good in improving the mind and refining the taste (applause). The next item was a song by Mr T Anwyl, the title being "The Desert Queen." Then came an illustrated song, The Holy City by Miss Jennie Williams, and a violin solo, "Popular Airs," by Mrs Rees, who gained a deserved encore. Mr J F W Foulkes was as usual in good trim, and his illustrated song Mr Conductor," brought the house down, to use a playgoer'>" expression, and had to be repeated. The Life Story of Snowdon was the title of a very interesting lantern lecture by Mr Caradoc Williams, whose account of a trip up the famous mountain was supplemented by a visit to the interior-in other words the lecturer shed air instructive light upon the geological formation of the mountain. A capital series of pictures accompanied the lecture. Mr Lewis J Foster contributed a pianoforte solo, "March of Triumph and other items were a3 follows Song, Marguerite," Mrs Bellman duet, "The Oonvont Bells," Misses Middleton and E A Williams (encored); song, "Dream of Paradise," Misa E A Williams; song, "Blue Bell," Mr J F W Foulkes (encored), "Bobby's Banjo whistling solo, Master John Hughes (encored). The usual vote of thanks termina- ted the concert. Tho duties of accompanist re shared between Miss Mabel Hughes and Miss Taylor. The lantern was manipulated by Mr Radclifie, of Queen Street.
----------St Asaph (Denbigh)…
St Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District Council. THE LOCAL C8VERNMENT~80ARD BACKS UP THE MED'CAL OFFICER. The monthly meeting was held afCaitrefle," St. Asaph, last Friday, Mr Wm. Toneg presid- ing. The business was of a routine character, very little of general interest taking place. On the motion of Mr Bennett Jones, seconded by Mr J Morris, a resolution was passed adopting the Infectious Diseases (Prevention) Act of 1890. With reference to the state of the highways at Cefn the Surveyor for that district was instructed to carry out the necessary repairs. The Trofnant seworage system again came under consideration, and the committeo appointed to deal with Mr Farrington'a report thereon made certain recommendations, which were approved. A letter was read from the Local Govern- ment Board dealing with the Medical Officer's Report upon the recurrence of diphtheria at Trefnant, and expressing a hope that in future the Council would pay more attention to the Medical Officer's recommendations. An application by the Surveyor for the Abergele district for an increase of salary was refused. A letter from Mrs Owen, Mysevin, com- plaining of tho state of the road from Tanygyrt gate to Fach Farm was referred to the Sur- veyor. With regard to a letter from the L. & N. W. Railway Company as to the painting of the railing along the embankment at Abergele, it was decided that the painting be done at a cost of £0 10s. The contract was let to Messrs Needham Bros., Abergile. The Chairman was appointed to represent the Council on the governing body of the Uni- versity College of North Wales for the coming year.

Epworth College, Rhyl.¡
Epworth College, Rhyl. ¡ PRiZE DAY. NATURE S BEAUTY. The anaml distribution of prizes in connection with Epworth College, Rhyl, took place in the assembly ha'.l of that institution on Saturday last. Mr L J Roberts, H.M.I.S., who presided over a fair attendance of relatives and friends of the scholaro, said he was glad to be present for more than one reason. In the first place, he recollected that when it was his privilege last summer to distribute the prizes and certificates in connection with the Cambridge Local Centre at Rhyl the bulk of those awards were tiken by the boys of Epworth College (applause). Ho was not sorry to get an opportunity of renewing his acquaintance with them and to congratulate them once more on their success—success which reflected credit) upon them- selves and upon their school (applause). It was worthy of note that in those examinations Ep worth College hid secured more certificates than any school in North Wales, if not, indeed, in all Wales (applause). In particular, the achievement of Mortimer deserved special msntion. To obtain the rare distinction of first-class honours in the local examination was a record indeed of which he .and his school had reason to be proud (applause). Another reason which mads him feel g'ad to be there that day was that it was a pleasant relief tor those of them who had to do with tha work of educational administration in Wales to tura aside tor a few hours from that sphere where at present controversy raged so furiously over thai education of tha children in the elementary schools into the placid paths which his friends there were treading, free torn all such disturbances. Tha*, led him to remark that In would like onca more to off-T his testimony to the )of] work beiig dona in the numerous private schools which were So thickly studded al n^ the North WaUs coast Ths.i schools 2ou Id not afford t) be in- eftijient. Now, when tha stress of competition was so keenly felt, they had to strain every nerve; and he was convinced that in those schools work of the best and most enduring kind wa." being done (applause). Continuing, he expressed a hopa that tho boys of Epworth Coltege had learnt to ap- preciate the natural beauty of the surroundings of the place in which their school was situated. Rhyl, they knew, was unsurpassed for its healthinses and its neighbourhood was rich in place. of historic associations. It was not to those points he wished to call attention, bub he was anxious to suggest to the boys that they should cultivate a taste for tht beauties of nature while they had such splendid opportunities. inliny of them later on mipht have to lead city-pent lives, but if their love of nature was early awakened it would add to the pleasures and recreations of later life, and become a life-long pinsioa and i iy. After showing how such advantages were tppreciatcd by such great men as Arnold and Thriug, of Rugby and Uppingham respectively, the Chairman con- cluded by reminding the boys that they had duties as well as privilegeR, Their echoil had not the great traditions of schools like Rugby and Uppingham, but it should be their effjrt to create good traditions that would be great, splendid, and elevating. They would then have reason to look back upm their lify at that school with the greatest pleasure (applause). I The annual report was presented by the Principal (Mr J (J Iieattie) and shawed that numerous succegses had been gained by both past and presnt schoara. H G Tunnicliffe, B. A, First Division (London), was placed at the head of the old boys' list and chk'f amongst the present scholar; successes were thoie of (J A Royle, Second Divison, London University Matriculation and F R F Mortimer, who in the junior section obtained first-class honours in the Cambridge University Local Examination, while C E Dyer headed th,) list in the preliminary candidates' section of the sama examination with third-ciasa honours.

By eviucing an intereot in the objects around the college the boys could materially assist MrBeattio in their education. It was worth while oven to study the falling leaves, and to learn to differentiate: between the various birJy. In that way they would learn to love tho things of nature, and would develop a mind of omnivorous interest, and which would reflect as truly as a mirror everything they saw (applause). Concluding, Mr Rhydderch said:—I can assure you that if you take an interest in any form of Mature study you can never grow to ba a bad or wicked man, for the things of Nettiro form a ladder between earth and heaven, more beautiful than the one seen by Jacob. By cultivating a tasta for God's objects in Nature you,may, in years to come, be saved from such Gees a3 drunkenness, for hobbies are (,ften the safeguards of life. Not only so, but you will giin kr:owedgo at first-hand, sometimes called a dynamic knowledge, from which you will, by analogy, more easily assimilate knowledge gained by reading (applause). The Rev H Lefroy York also spoke, and urged upon parents the duty of showing an interest in their children's studies. The proceedings concluded with cheers for Dr Wilkinson and for Mr and Mra Beattie. The visitors were afterwards entertained to tea by Mr and Mrs Beattie, -4-
The Press
The Press One of the very beat of the Christmas numbers is undoubtedly that of the Wide World Maga- zine." Its contention that fact is straagor than fiction hELs been proved to th-3 h: 1\ in its pages time after time. Especially so is this the case with its Christmas number; which is filled with a collection of such wonderful f,tets, written with that brightness of personal narration which is such a feature of the Wide World," that we can well dispense with fiction and rest content, enthralled and delighted with the feast of graphic facls from the storehouse of human experience. The story of Widow Simpson's Journey across the arid wastes of the great American desert is without a parallel in the history of the West. Attracted by the glowing misreproseutations of a pretended friend, a poor widow, with her five children, attemptod to drive by wagon from Utah to California, a journey of one thousand miles, over a route which had never before been tra- versed, leading through an unconquerable wilder- ness. Lost in t,he desert, the sufferings and hard- ships undergone by the poor woman and her family constitute a record of human endurauce and human pluck. For more than a hundred days they struggled wildly and heroically through the trackless unknown wastes of an almost illimitable desert, facing death in a hundred form, to finally reach their goal with little else but life left to them. Soon the tailroada, with their all-conquer- ing tread, will be threading their way across these wastes, and journeys such as this narrative tells of will be but memories but foremost amidet these will ever be that of the wonderful journey made by the brave widow and her children who conquered the unconquerable desert. The Christmas number of "C B Fry'd Magazine" is beyond all doubt not only the best issue of this popular publication, but it will rank as one of the finest Christmas numbars d the year. In its 130 pages there is not a single item or para- graph that is not ably written and carefully selected for its topical interest. First aud foremost among the articles is one written by Mr Fry himself, on the famous amateur football organisation, the Corinthians, and every footballer will find in this feature many anecdotes that will go to lighten these foggy day- The Captain" for December keeps up its repu- tation for bumping Christmas numbers in the shape of a plentiful supply of seasonable fiction There are six short stories in addition to the lengthy instalment of two populars serials. Christmas Hymns tells us how certain favourite hymns for this season came to be written. Hunting on a Cycle is the subject of the cycling editor's discourse, and "Stamp tories" are told by the philatelic editor. The sixth part of Newnes' Technological and Scientific Dictionary" will have a great interest tor many craftsmen ae well as for the abstruse scientist. When this dictionary was first an- nounced most people who were interested in technology forsaw that it was a work with a future, and as the first and succeeding parts were issued its value became even more apparent. The remaining parts will be looked forward to with interest, and when the book is completed it will be a veritable compendium of mQBl things that are

These, of course, were A'itun Villa and Sundorlind, who bi-eu actepts in carrying off lh) champion- ship.

Chester and Wrexham are keeping close together, as the table below will show, while two or three other clubs are also in the running, including Tranmere Rovers,who improved their position hst Saturday by beating Rhyl by 4 goals to 1. IF « The special features ') f the game between Wrex- ham and Oswestry, on h9 racccourso at Wrexham, weie the ragged play of the Welshmen in the 1, earlier stago of the match, the concession 110 them of two penalty kicks in the second half, and the excsllent defence of the Salopians. The first point was scored by Dick Hughes two minutos after the start, and a few minutes subsequently 8 (w Brom- field equaliEe for the visitors. From that time until near the end the score remained unaltered. Then came Wrexham's chance, and from the secoad penalty kick they secured two more points in the table, 2-1 being the score. Ihe turn at Bangor against the Druid* proved a profitable transaction to the Citizens. Tho spirited manner in which the boine L, ici i opened was rewarded after ten minutes' play. Before the interval two more points wero added, to which the Ancient Britons replied once. The first chapter found the renowned cup fighters fairly bjaten, but in the concluding portion they showed up to btter advantage,althouf h at the same time the homesters fairly held the whip hand.

The first twenty minutes afforded some capital football, each side showing great skill, but Portmadoc had nioro da3h about them, and from hazird shots at close range three goals were scored. Hughes, the Rhyl inside left, was subsequently injured and retired. The game then lost its interest,the disheartened visitors playing one full back to the end. At Presbtyn hat Saturday interest centred in the visit of Holywell tu fill a Flintshire League engagement. The result was a win for the homesters by 2 goais to 1, after a hard game. A The visit of Rhyl Combination team to Prenton Park, Tranmere, last week, was productive of a brisk encounter, especially in the first half, the game being by no means a-3 one-aided as the score might suggest. There was a rather sensational opening. From the kick-off Rhyl raced up, and Lse failing to clear, the visitors netted the ball in the first minute. Soon after, however, a tricky pass let in Macdonald, who scored an equalising goal. The Rovers obtained an advantage from a foul near the Rhyl goal, and a mis-kick almost ended disastrously for the visitors, one of whom shot into his own goal-an effort which led to a hot scrimmage, which concluded by A Hughes shooting over the bar. The Rovers' luck was in evidence a few moments later, when the Rhyl left back missed his kick and allowad the Rovers an easy goal. A corner to Tranmere, which resulted from a kick by Lee from midfield, waa well taken, but abortive, whilst a corner which followed almost immediately afterwards ended in Butler heading just a little too high. In the isecon(I half the homesters put on two more goals, while Rhyl experienced "hard lines" on more than one occa- sion, with the result that when time arrived Traumere were viotorious by 4 goals to 1.

Prestatyn Urban District Council, The monthly mesting of the Council was held in the Council Chamber on Monday evening, there being present Mr Thos Jones (in the chair), Messrs Tarry Williams, Thos. Hughes, H Wright, Rev F Jewell, Messrs Joan Pritchard, T B Griffiths, Peter Ellis, T J Scott and J B Linnell, with the Clerk (Mr J no Hughes) and the Surveyor (Mr Win Thomas).

Mr T J Scott said that the committee ap- pointed by the Council to meet representatives of the Denbigh and Flint County Councils, regarding the question of having a further representative for Prestatyn on the Board of Guardians, met at Rhyl, and after a great many ■ figures had been gone through as to the popu- lation, area, and rateability of Prestatyn, the joint com mitten unanimously decided thar it was very desirable that Prestatyn should have another representative on the Board of Guardians. Following that camo the committee of the Flint Council, but only Mr R Llewelyn Jones was present. After the depu- tation had stated their case that Prestatyn should have another representative, and that Prestatyn, Dyserth and Meliden should form different electoral divisions, Mr Llewelyn Jones thought they had a very strong case. The Local Government Board also recommended that they should have a separate electoral dis- trict for County Council purposes at Prestatyn. The Rev F Jewell asked whether they would hear anything more in the matter. Was there anything they could do to sustain it ? The Chairman said they had now to await the consideration of the matter.

The Road Improvement Committee, held on the 31st October, reported that they had con- sidered the question of taking over the road leading across the railway from Nant Hall Road to Marine Road, and it was resolved that the committee should inspect. This report was adopted. A further report of a committee meeting on the 7th November stated that after a long dis- cussion it was proposed by Mr Cunnah and seconded by Mr Thos Jones that the road in question be taken over by the Council, and be repairable by them hereafter on the following conditions :-The said road to be 36ft wide, and carriage way 20 feet should be properly fenced, Lady McLaren to convey to the Council the right of drainage under the mid- way and through her land in any position the Council might deem advisable, and to insert a clause regarding the sale of land abutting such road, that the purchasers should bo held res- ponsible to the Council for the cost of drainage, kerbing, and channelling. An amendment was proposed by Mr W H Coward and seconded by Mr T J Scott, that the Council do not take over the road, as it was against their bye-laws. A vote was taken and the motion was carried by a majority of five. The Chairman then read a letter from Mr Coward, apologising for being absent and hoping the Council would not take over the road, as he was more than ever convinced that they had no power to do so. Mr Linnell proposed that tho report be adopted, and the Chairman seconded. Mr Linnell said he had received a letter from Lady McLaren stating that she could not give the Council the right to lay a sewer anywhere, but could give them the right on land approved of by her, so as not to interfere with building on the land. The Rev F Jewell said that would mca.n the development of Lady McLaren's land, and would make it very valuable at the expanse of the ratepayers. Mr Linnell thought the road would be a benefit to everyone. Mr T J Hcott then niovod an amendment that the question bo deferred until the next monthly meeting, so that in the meantime a meeting of the latepayera could be called to decide upon the question. This was seconded by Mr II Wright. After a long discussion, the amendment was put to the meeting. Only two voted for it and it was declared lost, the report being adopted by a large majority. Fire Brigade. The Firo Brigade Committee recommended that the Brigade should have a ncw "^equipment at a cost of £ 18, and this was accepted.
