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;

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.

Cruelty Charges at Llandudno. BEATING A HORSE WITH A .STEEL-LINED WHIP. BEATING A LCNKEY. At Llandudno- Police Court on Monday, be- fore Dr. Dalton an-cll other magistrates, Thomas Astole, donkey driver, pleaded guilty to cruelly beating one of the annials in ihts -clharge 011 the 14th August. A fine of Is. and costs was im- posed A BRUTAL DRIVER. ) Inspector Sydnay Gibbs, R.S.P.C A., charged j Alfred Davies with cruelly beating a horse 011 the 16th August. Defendant pleaded guilty. Inspector Gibbs said he was on the Marine Drive, on the moarning in question when he saw the defendant in charge of a. bay horse. He saw thait it was uneasy, and on lifting the collar found a very small wound.. He advised the defendtai-it t-oi put some pads oq, and he promised to do so. In about ten minutes afterwards he again saw the defendant, but he was unmercifully beating the horse with a steel lined whip, causing the animal to plunge and rear. Tfhei horse came at full gallop passed witness. It was stopped by the cabmen, and when witnelss got up to it, it was practically nad, from excessive beatinig. Its back was covered with weals. Witness told the defen- dant that he might have a month's imprison- ment for it, and he replied that that would not do him any good. Twenty-four hours later witness visited the stable and found the horse not fit to go out. It was the most brutal case that he had ever .come across Asked if he had anything to say in extenua- tion. defendant said the horse, was a jibber and lie lost his temper with it. The.magistrates retired to consider their cle- criision, and ionreturaing inflicted a fine of £ 5 and costs. ATTEMPT TO BRIBE AN OFFICER. Joseph Hughes, Jubilee Street, was charged by the same officer with working a horse in an unfit state, and the owner, Wrn. Jones De- ganwy Street, was charged with causing it to be worked. Inspector Gibbs gave evidence of finding the h,ors,e with several wounds on it. The owner of the animal visited witness's house and dropped four flowins in his tunic .pocket, and made off on his cab. Wlitnesls followed, and told him that he did not want ibis money. P.C. Roberts also gave evidence. Defendant- Jones said he gave the money to the Inspector because he sent the horse home. He would, have sent it back to the stable him- self had he seen it, because it was alright when iit went out tiln the morning. Hughes was fined Is. and costs, and Jones 10s. and costs.

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.
