Bilking the Railway Company DOMESTIC SERVANT FINED. At Llandudno Police Court on Monday, before Dr. Dalton and other magistrates, Mary Edwards, domestic -servant, at present in a situation in Rhyl, was charged with travelling on the London and North-Western Railway, on the 13th July, without a ticket and with intent to- defraud. Joseph Kidney, clerk at Addison Road Sta- tion, said that a woman canie to the booking office on the 13th of July and asked the fare to Abergele, and to Llandudno, saying she wanted to get to that town as quickly as possible. She was told the fare was 18s. 8d. Thein she asked what the fare was to Shrewsbury. She was told 13s., and! bought a ticket. Shrewsbury tickets were not kept at Addison Road Station, so the name was written on a blank ticket in ink. The ticket was numbered 1789, and he identified the one produced as that given to the woman. Fred Robinson, a booking clerk in the em- ploy of the Great Western Railway, who was in the same office as last witness confirmed the evidence of Kidney as to the conversation about trains and fares R. Webb, a Degianwy ticket collector, said that when he asked defendant for her namie and address she gave it as "Miss Edwardis, Craigydon, Llandudno." Witness did not think this sufficient, and she then said it would b-3 sure to find her. Detective McFall said he had an interview wr'th /the defendant, in the course of which she made a long rambling statement, 111 intaining that if she did not get a ticket to Llandudno she had paid for ;t, because she -only received Is. 4d. change oat of a sovereign. Defendant made a long statement, and pro- duced labels showing that her luiggage was addressed to Llama ■ dno. A fine of 20s. and costs was imposed;

MIDNIGHT AFFAIR ON THE ORME. At Llandudno Police Court on Monday, be- fore Dr. Dalton and other magistrates, Evan Joines, Penyffrith. was dbarged with being drunk and disorderly at midnight -on the 21st August, near t,he Blackgat-e. P.C. Evans (78) said that in consequence of complaints of inotous conduct he was detailed for special (Iiitv neaj the Black Gate. About 11-45 p.m. Evan Jones ùnd some others came' up and stopped arguing with eadh other until miklnight. He then told them lto go henne" Evans was drunk and would not go, although his wif-e hied! to persuade him. After a while he took hold of him to take him to the station, but he resisted, and eventually went home. A witness inamcd Wlhiteman, who was one of the party, said Evans was not staggering drunk, but he was not sober. He used very bad' language towards the end of the argument be- fore the policeman interfered. For the diefence accused called his wife; who alleged thaf the officer pushed her- husband about amid, would not allow him to stand up. and another woman who was with them told the same story. Evans himself said that it was impossible for him to be drunk. He was out of work, and had' not the means to get drunk. He alleged that the. constable had a grudge against him. In reply to the Chairman-, Deputy Chief Con- stable Rees s dd that there w ere twelve pre- vious convictions against defendant. A fine of 2:s. 6d. anid -cosits was imposed. ASSAULTING THE POLICE. Ernest Turner, Abbotsford, was charged with assaultina- P.C. Evans at the 'same time and place. Mr Marks appeared for the de- fendant, who plaaded guilty to a technical .offence. Deputy Chief Constable Rees said that the assault- was c-ommi'tted when the officer wa,s engaged in dealing with a previous defendant. Turner interfered and took hold of the officer by the throat and threw him on the ground. The officer eve.ntua.lly got on top. handcuffed .the defendant- and took ihim to the Police Station, but he was liberated on giving his name and address. Mr Majrks said he had nothing to say to what Mr Rees had outlined which was only too true, witlh the ex-planatron that M.v Turner bnd for-meid the -opinion 'that the -defendant m another case was not pettiiisr the. fair treatment from the officer lie should have received. Mr Turner was actuated Ivore by a desire to help that othar man than anytiiing else. He had already suffered the lindignity of being hamd- cuffed and taken to the police station. His client threw himself on the mercy of the court-, apologised to the officer, the pulice force gen- erally a-ndt the magistrates. Personally he (Mr Marks) thought the lesson would be a salutory one, and that his client would benefit by it. The magistrates imposed a fine of 10s. and costs, and hoped that- the lesson would not be lost.

RINKING NOTES. "SET FAIR." This is the season of the year when changes, and rumours of changes, tak. place, in con- nection with Mr Crawford's rinks. Resident managers, instructors, of both sexes, skate boys, electtrieians, in fact all em- ployees of the various rinks, run by the pioneers of this nev craze for the swanking art of iriinking, have been expecting, and in many cases hoping to receive their marching orders from Mr E. B. Barnes, the one-time resident manager at the Hippodrome, Llandudno. Mr Barnes is now stationed at the London office, and has complete control of the "signing-on" department, securing r.ew hainids end deciding the posts the old ones shall be relegated to. "REMEMBEIR DUBLIN"—AU REVOIR BUT NOT GOOD-BYE. Mr George Ga-llis left Llandudno on Tuesday last, en famile, for Liverpool. From there he will 'in a few weeks' time take up the resident managership of the new rink at Cardiff, but only for a time, a,s. it is (generally understood that he will shortly manage the new rink, now in course, of erection in London for Messrs Crawfard and Co., and whilst we axe senary to lose Mr Call is from local rinking oircles, no one will deny the faat that he has thor-oiughly merited the confidence of the American Roller Rink Co., Ltd., and his removal to new rinking spheres will result, no doubt, in freah records being created. Speoulatotns in Rink Stock will watch his management at Cardiff with more than ordinary interest, bearing in mind the phenomenal success in Ireland which ,crowned his efforts. < < MR. FTTPATRICK, resident manager. The appointment of Mr Fitzpatrick to fill the post of manager at the Hippodrome has been popular with all patrons of this rink. As a floor manager Mr Fitzpatrick has certainly excelled, arid he thoroughly deserves the con- fidence which his employers have displayed. We venture to predict he will carry out the new post entrusted to him with that distinc- tion and thoroughness w'hich has marked his past career in the service of this Company as floor manager. MR. T. EVANS, Floor Manager. His successor will, no dou-bt, find it diffi- cult to follow him and to carry out the floor management duties with such complete suc- cess, but we have every reason to believe that Mr T. Evans. Who by the way attains his majority on Mondlay next, can worthily fill his shoes; at the same time Tie has by no means an easy task. He will hardly have been broken in to the new duties ere he departs for Cardiff. He is due. there we believe the tenth of this miontJh. It is an opportunity that he should seize to p.rove to the' management his fifte,dness for the post, and in due course it is quite within the bounds of possibilities that he will rank amongst the staff as a resident manager.

DR. BARNARDO'S HOME-S.—A house to house colle-chon in aid of the- local children r.-scued during recent years and eared for in Dr. Barnard-o's homes will be made -on Satur- day, September 4th, when an envelope, will be left :it every nouise and collected during the following week. To assist the effort collections will be made (by kind p-ermision of the pro- prietors) on Friday, September 3rd at entertainments given by Messrs Adeler and Sutton's Pierrots at the Pier Head Mr W.

Hughes, junr., will show a special film illustrating the homes the same evening, and also make a collection in aid of the fund. NORTH W ALESS.S. CO.'s SAIL,INGS.-Not a few Llandudnoites, and their friend,s, torok advantage last Saturday morning of the 11 o'clock trip down the Straits by the S.S. "St. Elian," Captain Highton in command. The "St. Elian" lilsan ideal steamer for the Straits, and spotlessly clean, and those who were sail- ing along this coast for 'the first time revelled in the grand panoramic view, and gazed with awe as they steamed through "The Slwillies." A portion of the passengers broke their jour- ney at Menai Bridge, but the. majority went the full trip to Carnarvon, undoubtedly made more popular .since the advent of Mr Llcyd George as its representative in Parliament. Menai Bridge having been explored by those pasengers who elected to break their journey at this popular resort, they returned by the S.S. "Sit. Elvies. At Beaumaris the finish of an exciting yacht race of one raters was Jkeefci- ly foUolwed "by all on board. In addition to Captain Young wih-o, despite a strenuous sea- son, which he would not admit, looked in the best of health, we had time to. renew our acquaintance with another long established member of this arm, chief purser Lee, who. seemed to revel in the fact that ere Llandudno was left a full complement, of passengers would have embarked for Liverpool. We dou.M if Llandudno hais yet realised the. enormous attraction, this Company's many sea. excursions to and from Llandudno really are. It is a well-known fact that the number of contractors who make Llandudno their headquarters has increased very considerably this season.
