THE TERRITORIAL CONCERT.—We are pleased to understand that the sum of about £15 will be available from the con- cert held on Wednesday night last in the Church Room in aid of the funds of the local Territorials. THE RATEPAYERS MEETING.—A re- mark in our last week s report of the rate- pavers meeting should be explained because unfortunately, and much to our regret, it has been misunderstood bv some of our readers. We described Mr. R. Thomson, I. P., as being given "a mixed reception." It ought to be made quite clear that the nature of the reception was not due to any hostile feeling towards Mr. Thomson; it was due solely to the objection felt by a portion of the audience to the plan adopted of call- ing all the speakers in favour of the school first, thus delaying the speeches of Mr. Adamson, Mr. Johnstone, Rev. Peter Jones, and others who desired to express their views on th" other side. It is well known that Mr. Thomson is personally very popular and highly esteemed in the town, and but for the fact that he was called upon to speak for the motion at a time when a section of the audience was clamouring to hear the opposition, his reception would have been very cordial. DRUNKENNESS.—At the Colwyn Bay Police Court, on Saturday, Alfred Davies, Colwyn Bay, and William Griffiths, Llan- ddulas, were each fined is. and costs for drunkenness. DONKEY STRAYING.—At the Colwyn Bay Police Court, on Saturday, Thomas Huddleston Wharton, of Grange-road, was fined 5s. and costs for allowing his donkey to stray.

THE UNITED TEMPERANCE MIS- SION.—The mission conducted by the noted temperance orator, Mrs. Jessie Walker, has proved a great success. Be- tween fifty and sixty total abstinence pledges were taken, and the lady's lectures have caused a stimulus amongst the various temperance societies in the town. Her lecture on Friday upon what she saw and heard in Canada was particularly inter- esting. EVANGELISTIC SERVICES.—On Sun- day evening a week of special services was inaugurated at the Nant-y-glyn English YVesleyan Church, conducted by the Rev. T. E. Freeman. The services will be con- tinued throughout the week at 7.30 p.m. The subjects treated were the relation exist- ing between religion and man.

Short recitals are given by Mr. Linekar after every Wednesday evening ser- vice in St. John's Church. COLWYN BAY CHORAL SOCIETY.— Th.3 rehearsals of this choir {which is prac- tically the Eisteddfod Choir) are being well attended in view of the proposed perform- cinoc of The Messiah next month in the Pier Pavilion. A very successful rehearsal was held on Monday evening, and a good performance of Handel's masterpiece is assured.

REYNOLDS' PICTURES are still draw- ing crowds to the Puolic Hall, where an excellent and varied programme is present- ed. The programme for the beginning of the week included an excellent film of "The Chester Pageant." But the popular item was a Western story entitled The New Boss of Bar Ranch." Western stories are a great attraction, and the vivid life of the Wild and Woolly West was portrayed in a most realistic manner. The educational film is entitled Native Industries of Cochin China." A glimpse of the palm- shaded avenues, crowded with natives and lumbering carts, is the opening picture. The crowd is interspersed with the white helmets of Europeans, and the whole scene is one of bustling activity. There then fol- lowes a series of picturesque and richly- coloured views, which give to the film its title. Dvers are to he ;;en standing in run. ning water and immersing silken goods in deep dyes. Toy-makprs carving little wooden playthings by hand, a knife grinder, and a woman selling pancakes, are also found at their separate callings, and another picture furnishes us with the method of weighing live pigs. "Indiscretions of Betty" tells the story of a society lady who almost succumbs to the temptations of a villain. Tontolini as a Sharpshooter is one of the best of this irrepressible comedian's adventures. Mr. Bumptuous on Birds" is an enter- taining comedy, but the last subject shown, and which sent everyone home in a pleasant frame of mind, was His little son was with him all the time." it is announced that sever, new subjects will .be shown at to-night's performance.
