ACCIDENT. A rather serious accident took place at the I turning in Station-roal on Tuesday evening by a collision between the 'bus horses and a trap. It appears that the 'bus was proceeding to the station, while the pony and trap were coming from the station, when at the turning by the station gates the two came into collision, the shaft of the trap piercing the side of one of the horses which were drawing the 'bus and severely injuring it. DENBIGH TRAGEDY RECALLED. Mr and Mrs Walter Timson, of Baron's Mead, Barnes Common, were returning with their family in two motor-cars from their holi- days at Bognor on Sunday night, when on reaching Sildon Woods the steering gear of the second oar went wrong, with the result that the vehicle dashed into a stone wall. The occu pants were thrown out, and Mrs Timson was severely injured, while a boy named Pullan, aged 12 years, had his arm broken in two places. They were conveyed to Arundel, where their injuries were attended to. Miss Daisy Tiinson was tferown a distance of ten feet, but miraculously escaped uninjured. MrTimson's brother lost his life in a motor accident under similar circumstances at Denbigh, quite re- cently, and deceased's only son was one of the party returning from Bognor, but fortunately was riding in the first car.

On Wednesday of last week, at the Iron- Bridge Police Court, James Lavin (26), a native of Manchester, and Sarah Lysons (23), a native of Shrewsbury, but who are tramping the country, and who were arrested at Llan- sannan, and taken to Denbigh Railway Station, were charged on suspicion with causing the death of a newly-born male child found on the railway last week. Inspector Jones deposed to the finding of the dead body of the child en the railway between Coalbrookdale and Buildwas Stations near the Meadow Bridge. From subsequent inquiries, he obtained ir/formation of a young man, and woman, having came from the railway close to the spot where the child was found. The body was wrapped in brown paper acd bagging, and when the man came from the railway he was seen to be carrying some bagging in his hand. The accused were thus suspected of having placed the child on the line. The officer added that in company with Police-constable Wakeley, he traced them through Oswestry, Wrexham, Mold, and Denbigh, and tit Tynant, near Llansannan, six miles beyond Denbigh, in a by-road, he found the accused. He told them of the body having been fourcd on the railway, and the mau denied having beeD. on the railway at all, but the woman shortly afterwards admitted coming from the railway and calling at a public house close by for soma cigarettes. Both, however, denied e.11 knowledge of this child's body. Witness-charged them jointly with the man- slaugh&oi- of the child, aud took thorn to Iron- Bridge Jock-up after remaining a night at Shrew-bury. Superintendent Tait asked the female in the cell that morning if she would consent to a medical examination. She con- sented, and as a result of Dr Webb's examina- tion he asked for prisoners' discharge. Prisoners were accordingly aischargod. 0
The Bowling Green.
The Bowling Green. The final for the Mesham Medal and the PresidenCs-.Cup were played off yeafcejday (Thursday). In the fourth rouncb Mr W James had scratched to Mr Robert Davies, who had to meet Mr J G Lloyd in the semi-final. Mr Lloyd, who was in great form, woe two games straight off (11-4, 11-5), and then he met and defeated Mr Hugh Jones in the final (11-8, Ll-. Mr Jones was also in the final for the cup, which he had to contest with another veteran bowler in Mr Knowles. Mr Jones began well by winning the first game, but Mr Knowles picked up his bent game, won the next two, and witb them the cup (9-11, 11-4, 1 L-5).. The green was in very bad condition, as, owing to continuous rain, water was lying on the surface, bat, a definite date having been fixed, it was de- cided to play the finals. At the close of play, which had been witnessed by shout 20 enthusiasts, Mr R Humphreys Roberts said that the President (Mr Bryan), who was unable to he present, had asked him to present the cup to the winner. He sympathised with the loser, as the older man, who had played a wonderful game, but at the same time he must congratulate Mr Knowles on his victory (applacso). Mrs Bryan then presented the<eap to Mr Knowles, with a few words of congratula- tion. Mr Knowles, io returning tbasks, said that the competitions had boon played in & good Rpirit throughout. He h&d had to meet several veterans, and, last bat not least, Mr Hagh Joaes. Mr Humphreys EGberta then handed the medal to Mr Lloyd, remarking that he had now won it for the third year in succession ,(applause). Mr J G Lloyd said he wished to thank Colonel Meaham for presenting the medal. He agreed with Mr Knowles that both competitions had beea fought in a good spirit, and he hoped to hold the tnedai for Another year.

! Denbigh Grouped School fclanagers.
Denbigh Grouped School fclanagers. The monthly meeting of the Denbigh Grouped School Managers was held on Tuesday, there being present:—The Rev H Humphreys (chairman), Rev HO Hughes, Mrs Howell Gee, Messrs Bennett Jones, I Robert Owen, William Lewis, and Marsden Davies with the Clerk, Mr R Humphreys Roberts ATTENDANCE OFFICER'S REPORT. The Attendance Officer (Mr Pryce) re- ported that the attendance in the district for the month ended 29th July remained much as in the month of June, viz., 91*5 against 921 and 91*5 against 92 for the same period of Jasfe year. As they would observe from the tabulated return the at- tendance at Bylchau and Rhydgaled de- creased enorroonsly during the last two, weeks before the summer holidays, not- withstanding that the Managers conceded to the wishes of the parents in these districts by closing the schools earlier than other schools so as to allow their children to go turnip weeding. However, these schools had the lowest percentage Bylchau 81 per cent, and Rhydgaled 85 per cent. He must admit that these people entirely baffled him (laughter). DENBIGH IN A GOOD POSITION. He was pleased to find from the half- yearly statistics of school attendance that I)tobigh District stood in such a good position, being second on the list in the county with a percentage of 91. Colwyn Bay was first with a percentage of 92. Taking into consideration the scattered I nature of this district, also the number of children on the register, St Joseph's R.C. School was not included in the list, he was of opinion that the managers could con- gratulate themselves on the result-being raised from the lowest to the second, the percentage ia the Denbigh District on the appointed day being 70 per cent. He had visited all the schools after the holidays and found everything satisfactory. INCREASE OF SALARY. Adverting to the above, Mr Pryce said it was his intention to apply for an in- crease of salary. All he desired was to be on the same equality as other officers whose percentage of attendance was lower than his. There were two getting RSO and six got £75, whilst his salary was 5C72, yet the ner^entaarH in his district was higher than that of the officer who g)t £75.. The area of uis district was 80 square miles, which was equivalent to 51,200 acres. The mile- age was about 90 miles, half of which was over country roads which had to be tra- versed by foot. The Chairman said he thought the per- centage was very satisfactory. It also showed tnat the attendance officer was doing his work well, and that the parents were waking up to a sense of their duty by sending their children to school regularly. With the parents' co-operation he thought they would succeed in keeping up the attendance. Replying to a question, the Cierk said he believed Mr Pryce's application for increase of salary would come before the proper authority on the following Friday, and it had been before the committee twice before. Mr Robert Owen: I take it that we can only recommend. The Clerk: That is so if you think the officer's services are worthy of considera- tion. No doubt his district is a very scattered one. Mr Bennett Jones pointed out that the salaries of attendance officers in the Ruthin and Llanrwst districts were the same. That of the Abergele officer was lower. Mr E P Chambers said his salary was £ 70. In Wrexham district an officer got ZSO, whilst his percentage of attendance I was only 8G. Mr Bennett Jones said the committee must remember that the officer got £ 2 10s yearly towards the upkeep of a cycle together with offidal elothes. Replying to a question, the Clerk said that all Mr Pryce wanted was an increase of £ 3 per annum in order to put him on the same footing as the majority of other officers in the county. Mr Marsden Davies thought the appli- cation a reasonable one. He did not think there was a more conscientious attendance officer in the district than Mr Pryce, and the fact that the attendar-ce was kept up to 91 per cent. ought to be something in his favour. He had his heart in his work which he did well and thoroughly. He should therefore be encouraged. Mr Bennett Jones said that the salary cf the Colwyn Bay officer was fixed at £ 60 on account of the cost of living there which was greater than in Denbigh. The same remark applied to the Wrexham district. Mr Marsden Davies said that the I Denbigh district was much more scattered than either Colwyn Bay or Wrexham, although the number on the register was about the same. Moreover the Roman Cathelic School at Denbigh was not in- cluded in the list. He thought the managers would be justified in recommend- ing an increase of 93. He proposed this. The Rev H 0 Hughes seconded the motion., and it was carried, Mr Mr Bennett Jones only refraining from supporting. TURNIP WEEDING. A letter was read from the Organiser of Education (Mr J C Davies) stating that turnip weeding could not be reckonced as attendance at school, and the only way by which the difficulty ceuld be met waa to arrange for the holidays of the schools affected ,to cover the period of tuzuip weeding. No action was taken in the matter. CLOTHES AND BOOTS WANTED. A letter was read from Miss Russell Jones, of the Frongoh Schools, in which she stated that already three mothers bad oont to say that the children had no boots ,to wear, and one could not send her child to school, because the father was out of w>rk and they had no food. Last winter there was a great deal of want both of food and warm clothing and especially of boote. She did what ehe could to deal with the worst of the cases, and felt deeply the want of some regular and dependable source of supply. Some of the school children brought boots And old clothes* but they were of little u«e, being worn out. Could an appeal be made by means of the papers to the better-off people in the town to the effect that such things were required, and would be giadly received, by the head teachers? Mr Bennett Jones suggested that an entertainment should be got up to raise a fund for these poor children. # The Chairman thought an entertainment coald be got up in the schools thernoelves for this purpose. Mr Marsden Davies said there was a good deal of distress in the town through laek of employment. He thought this was a matter worthy of their serious considera- tion. He knew that teachers had done a lot themselves for these poor children, and be thought that the lady school managers; might take the matter up. The matter was deferred pending en-' quiries to be made by the Clerk. ATTENDANCE. The following Schools are entitled to a good attendance half-holiday :—Trefnant, Denbigh N.P.

. DENBIGH TERRITORIALS PRIZE…
DENBIGH TERRITORIALS PRIZE SHOOTING. « Successful Gathering at Tnemeipchion Range. The annual prize shooting of the" D It (Denbigh) J Company of the 4th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers took place on the Graig Fawr Range, Tremeirchion, on Saturday last, under very favourable con- ditions, and was very successful. There was a large number of members on the range, and the shooting was well up to the reputation of the Denbigh Company. For the first time since he has presented the "Salusbury Cup" for competition, Major Salusbury attended and superintended at the butts during the firing of this com- petition, the markers being Lance-Corpl D Davies and Private R Roberts. Capt F B Clough and Sergt-Instructor J Pays were in charge of the firing point. Capt Clough provided refreshments for the men with his usual generosity, Sergt- Iustructor Pays being in charge of the refreshment tent. The light was good, but the wind inter- fered considerably with good shooting. Sergt J 0 Thomas won the Salusbury Cup and the Marksman's Cup (presented by Capt Clough) for the second time in succession. It was only after a strenuous struggle with Private Robert Williams that Sergt Thomas won the Salusbury Cap, as the two tied with seven hits with seven shots, Sergt Thomas afterwards winning the re-shoot. The efficiedtp, prize was this year won by Corporal Taomas Edward Lloyd. The range prizes were won by Sergt J 0 Thomas, Sergt W Williams, and Corpl Thomas Edward Lloyd.

PRIZE DISTRIBUTION. Major Salusbury, at the close of the competition, distributed the prizes to the men. In doing so he said he was pleased to be on the range that day, and he thought it was a good idea to have the prizes distri- buted immediately at the close of the competition. The shooting, in his opinion, was very good taking it all round, especially when the tricky wind of the early morning was taken into considera- tion. He had had the pleasure of distri-, buLing the prizes for shooting at the Drill Hall last year, and on that occasion he had complained of the habit the men had of talking whilst on the range, and he thought there was considerable reason for making that complaint more than ever this year. He would remind the men that they were now members of the territorial army, and should be amendable to discipline when in uniform. He earnestly hoped they would not interfere with the shooting in the future by talking so much (applause). Major Salusbury then distributed the prizes amidst much enthusiasm. The tradesmen's prizes will be distri- buted at the Drill Hall this (Friday) evening, from seven to eight o'clock. All members are requested to attend.
Irregular Attendance at School.
Irregular Attendance at School. HEAVY PENALTY. At the County Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, before Mr W D W Griffith (in the chair), Capt Cole, Col Mesham, Mr E 0 Watkin Davies, and Mr J D W Griffith, there was only one case down for hearing. It was a school attendance case, and Evan Evans, Pendref, Tanyfron, Llansannan, was charged with neglecting to send his girl, aged 13, to school regularly.-Evi- dence was given by Attendance Officer Roger Pryce to the effect that the atten- dance was 62 out of 167. On the 14th of July the defendant was summoned before the School Managers, and Mrs Evans appeared. She was very lame in her promises that the child should attend school. Subsequently the clerk (Mr Humphreys Roberts) wrote the defendant two letters to save proceedings, but it was of no avail. This was a case from the district of Bylchau, which had the lowest percentage in the county. The defendant was determined that the child should not attend school, and when he visited the I place on Thursday he found the child at work at Waen, Nantglyn. He asked for a substantial penalty, as the defendant had been given every opportunity. Defendant's wife said that the Managers had given permission for the child to attend school half-time. The Attendance Officer denied this, and said no half-timers were allowed in this distriot. The defendant was fined 14s including costs, and warned that the penalty would be heavier if the attendance did not im- prove.

uaekwysT" DEATH OF THE LATE RECTOE'S CiirLD. -It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of the beloved three year old child of the Rev J F and Mrs Rees, the Rectory, Halkyn. They have only resided at their new home about six months and to be struck with such grief as this must be a great blow to the whole family. We may say that when the news reached Caerwys great sorrow was expressed by all, as Mr Reea was a particular favourite here. It seems that the little girl had been indulging in some eatables which were not quite ripe, and which caused complications. Notwithstanding the careful treatment and nursing she succumbed on Sunday evening last. The funeral, which Wis of a private characrer, took place at Halkyn on Wednesday afternoon. The friends who represented Cierwys were: The Rev A E H Efvslop, Messrs T Lloyd Bell, W C Robarts, W M Williams, and S Hughss. The latter four acted as bearers. The service at the house was conducted by the Kev T LI Bell; ia Church by the Rev Mr Nichols, Flint, and the Committal Service by the fbev A E H Hy?lep. CHCRCH LADS BRIGADE.- Tuesday evening last was a record one for the members of the Caerwys Church Larls Brigade. Upon the kind invitation of the Rev A E H and Mrs Hyslop they were entertained at the Rectory. After doing ample justice to the good tlaiiigs prepared for them, they were put through their drills, march, L-c., by Sergt R Eleton, in the unavoidable absence of Lieut Cox. We are delighted to hear that the brigade was in- spected by Major Cleeve whose remarks upon the neatness, smartness, and the obedience, were very encouraging to the officers, and we are confident the lesson given will be most beneficial both to the officers and boys. Illus- tration of camp life was interesting, and the boys seem to make an effort to grasp it all, which no doubt, will prove to their credit on some future occasion. The kindness of Mr and Mrs Hyslop and Major Cleeve was duly acknow- ledged by a proposal offered by Mr W C Roberts, seconded by Sergt R Elston and heartilv sup- ported with cheers from the boys. The com- pany then dispersed.
.. Presentation to the Rev.…
Presentation to the Rev. D. Roberts. On Tuesday evening last a large number of Wesleyans and friends of the above-named gentleman met together at the Wesleyan Chapel for the purpose of showing the good feeling that existed between them and their pastor, who is leaving Caerwys to take charge of the Church at Leeswood. During the first hour of the meeting the company enjoyed themselves with excellent rendering of songs, recitation, and speeches. Then came the important part of the proceedings, the presentation. A committee was formed for this purpose, and they appointed Mrs Parry, Liverpool House, and Mrs Jones, Croeswian, as collectors, and with unstinted energy their efforts were crowned with success. On behalf of the committee and subscribers Mr Edwards, Marian House, was called upon to ask the acceptance by the rev gentlemen of the token which he offered to hiai on behalf of the church and friends, which was a beautiful gold watch and cheque, a memento of his ministry at Caerwys. Mr Edwards briefly addressed the company present, and referred to the gcod work done by Mr Roberts during his stay at Caerwys, and trusting that his future residence would be equally agreeable. Several members of the chapel supported Mr Edwards' remarks. In responding Mr Roberts feelingly thanked them one and all for thHfc kindness bo himself and fanfily during their stay at Caerwys. The three years would be remembered by them all as long as they were spared to live but this occasion was almost beyond his ability to make an offer of thanks for the esteemed honour shownjtowards^him that evening. The beautiful gold watch which had just been handed over would be highly treasured as a memento of his departure from his true and kind friends at Caerwys. He again thanked them for the cheque. It is considered that money and time are two valuable things in this world, and now he was indebted to his Caerwys friends for both these essentials in life.
