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.

A very successful rehearsal was held on Monday evening, and a good performance of Handel's masterpiece is assured.

ABERGELE. DULL BOYS: GREAT MEN. —Miss Gittins, L.L.A., headmistress of the Aber- gele Girls' School, contributed a highly interesting and instructive paper, entitled "The after career of some dull boys," at a meeting of the Ship Cafe Literary Society on Friday evening. The meeting was held in the Cafe Lecture Room and presided over by Mrs. J. Williams, B.A., Eryldon. Miss Gittins said that a student of the biographies of men who had made themselves famous must, be struck with the large number who were considered "dunces" when young, and also how many of them were not dis- tinguished in any way until well advanced in years. Amongst the examples named by Miss Gittins, whose life-histories she treated in a most able and acceptable manner, were Oliver Cromwell, Lord Olive, Wellington, Goldsmith, Boswell, James I., Bobbie Burns, Dr. Chalmers, Dr. Cook, Sir Walter Scott, Joshua Reynolds, Hogarth, Dr. Adam Clark, Samuel Drew, Sir Isaac Newton, James Watt, and others. It was not only the men of brilliant genius who moved the world, the speaker added rather, it seemed to be the men of steadfastness, purpose and industry. (Applause.) Miss Gittins was highly complimented and thanked for her admirable paper by the Rev. J. H. Davies, Mcsars. J. R: El!i?, W. {. Evans, Percival R. Davies, W. P. Morris, and G. T. Evans. In returning thanks, Miss Gittins said that she was only too delighted to do what little she could for the Cafe Literary Society. Moreover, she had the welfare of everyone in Abergele at heart. It was an ideal spot, and everyone in the place had always been exceedingly kind to her duiing the many years she had lived there. On the motion of Mr. J. R. Ellis, Mrs. J. Williams was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for taking the chair at short notice instead of her hus- band, who was unavoidably absent. CONCERT.—On Thursday evening a largely-attended miscellaneous concert was held in the Llannefydd National School, the proceeds being devoted to Church ob- jects. The Rev. Dr. Ellis, LIansannan, presided. A capital programme was sus- tained by Mrs. J. Roberts, Miss Maldwyn Jones, Miss A. Davies, Mrs. Hughes (Ys- gubor Ddegwm, Llanfair T.IL), Messrs. D. W. Vaughan, Carrick Pierce, Harry E. Thomas, Tom Jones, Moss Jones, Walter V. Jones (all of Abergele), Edward J. Davies, E. Ashworth (Denbigh), and Wm. Davies, Dalar). What really took the bun, bakery and baker, however, was the im- mortal sketch, The Barber's Shop," the performers being Mr. Harry Thomas and his Abergele customers." HONOURING THE DEAD.—On Sun- .day morning the mural tablet erected to the memory of Archdeacon Evans on the east wall of the chancel of St. Michael's Church, Abergele, was unveiled by the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, who preached a telling sermon to a very large congrega- tion, of whom there was a considerable number of Nonconformists. His Lordship took for his text i Cor. ix. 13. The tablet, which is a beautiful work of art, is of polished brass, mounted on mottled marble, and beais the following inscription:—"In memory of the Venerable David Evans, Archdeacon of St. Asaph 1897 to 1910; Vicar of this parish 1876 to 1897, who died on St. David's Day, 1910, aged 79 years. This tablet was placed here by parishioners and friends in loving memory of his life of devoted service among them." READY!

It was decided to call a special meeting again as soon as a defi- nite reply was received from the landowner. The lighting question was brought forward by Mr. D. Williams. All the members agreed with Mr. Williams that it was a necessity, but as other things are partly on hand and the season gone far on it was decided to defer this at present.

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.
