----_ OUR SUPPLEMENT.
OUR SUPPLEMENT. WITH this issue we present our readers with a supplement, entitled I THE NORTH EAST VIEW OF DENBIGH CASTLE.' We hope that subscribers will see that they get one.
THE QUEEN'S LONG REIGN.
THE QUEEN'S LONG REIGN. EVERYWHERE, the fact that the Queen has reigned longer on the throne of this country than any of her royal predecessors, is taken as a reason for thankfulness and commemora- tion. The reign of Victoria has in every way been a most remarkable one. Com parisons made between the reign of the next longest' monarch—George the Third Z5 and the present reign would reveal a most remarkable difference between the two, both governor and governed having advan- ced and progressed in an unprecedented degree since the time when George the Third was king The proposals to celebrate this long reign,' are as varied as they are numerous. All over the country, scheme after scheme is proposed, and if all of them were adop- ted, the conclusion of the Queen's sixtieth year wouid be remarkable indeed. In Wales we are sorry to find denominational spirit interfering with an object which, of all other objects should be free from such interference. It is in no spirit of antagonism to the Church of England that we state that in several cases, it is the Church that refuses to recognise the wishes of the inhabitants generally, but seeks to take advantage of the occurrence to bring grist to its own mill. It might have been thought that the question of education in Wales, was one which might hive been discussed and sup- ported without the importation of political or religious views into the debate, and that one of the most important measures affec- ting the Principality the Intermediate Education Act-would be one of the few objects upon which unanimity might have been secured. Unfortunately this is not so. We wiii take Rhyl as an instance of the manner in which Church of England par- tisans treat this question. A few weeks ago, a public meeting was held in the town at which a General Committee was appoin- ted to consider what steps should be taken to celebrate in a fitting manner, the Dia- mond Jubitee of the Queen, That Commit- tee decided by a large majority to bavo local rejoicings, and to devote any surplus that might remain to complete the funds for the establishment of an Intermediate School at Rbyl. Last Monday evening, another pu blic meetmg was held to receive the re- port of this Committee, and to either adopt or reject it. For this meeting, the Church party, it became quite evident, had made their preparations, and bad taken care that a sufficient number of their supporters were in attendance. Mr. H. M. Hugh Jones-master of a private school in the town—proposed that the commemoration should take the form of an endowment of a free cut at the Alexandra Hospital. Mr. W. J. P. Storey seconded. Now, the Alexandra Hospital may be a woitby insti- tution, but it is an institution on the board of management of which there is not a single Nonconformist! Indeed, the Rev. E. Lloyd Jones boldly asserted that the Hospital was managed by parsons, and we do not think that he was very far wrong. As to the In- termediate School, it is managed by 17 re- presentative governors, and it is impossible to pack its board with the represensatives of one denomination only. Indeed, the management of the school has shown on more than one important occasion that it does not permit political or denominational matters to bias their deliberations in the iol-I st. For example, although we believe the Nonconformists are in a majority, a I Church of England Head Master was selec- ted. The Rev. O. J. Davies, a clergyman ventured to say that tha Intermediate School did not benefit the children of the working classes. Many of the children who attended the school ought to be sent to private schools, because their parents "could afford to pay X20 or X40 a year for their education.' When challenged, this gentle ¡ man promptly lowered his colours, and was glad to cloak his misleading statement by asserting that his remarks referred to the j schools of the country generally We take it that when a men shows such gross igno- ranco as to the school which is almost at his own door, he cannot know but very little indeed about the schools of the country generally. To sbovit that the Church-people of Rhyl seek assistance which they are not willing to render themselves, we may point out, that according to Mr. R. M. Hugh Jones himself, there are in Rhyl at the present moment, only seventeen subscribers to the Hospital! It therefore comes to this. The Chftrch people of Rhyl seek to lay upon the shoulders of others the burden of an institution which they will not support themselves. Rhyl Churchmen pretend that they are numerous. As a rule, and Rhyl is no exception, Churchpeople in Wales are the wealthiest portion of the community. Yet, this wealthy "church look on the work of such an 4 excellent institution as the Alex- andra Hospital, and only seventeen of them are moved by the spectacle to put their hands in their pockets! Of course, we are assuming that these seventeen sub^r ibers are Churchmen, but that is not all a certaintv. What objection can Church-people, or rather Churcn leaders have to the Welsh Intermediate Scbools There can be but one objection, and that is, that they are not allowed to have the complete manage ment of these schools Where they have I the management, they want other denomi- nations to subscribe. Let us see what further happened atRhvl, Mr. R. M. Hugh Jones' motion was de- clared carried by a majority of five. But when the same resolution was put to the meeting as a substantive motion, an amend- ment in favour of dividing the fund collec- ted between the hospital and the Interme diate School, was carried by a »inii ar ma- jority. This amendment was not acceptable to the Church party, and Mr. R. M. Hugh Jones moved that two funds be opened, one for the Hospital, and one for the Interme- diate School. With what object? What other object could there be than to make it easy for Church-people to subscribe to the Hospital only-if more than seventeen care about doinrt so. By this time the suppor- ters of t! Intermediate School had left the meeting ui disgust, and we are not surprised that the chairman announced that no resolu- tion be; ring on these subjects had been carried. What has been attempted in Rbyl, is also being attempted in many other of the towns of the Principality. The Church party as- I sume the credit of being extra loyal, but their boasted loyalty carries them no further than sndeavour to benefit their own in- stitutions at the expense of the public.
THE CRETAN QUESTION,
THE CRETAN QUESTION, THIS question continues to be the question of the hour, and from comparative insignifi. cance, the Isle of Crete has been foremost in the thoughts of every European nation. Since our last issue, there is but very little to be added to the history of this remarkable crisis. The European Powers have pro- claimed a state of blockade, and the island is surrounded by the ironclads of the Euro- pean navy. But Greece gallantly holds out, and there is some grounds for the probability, that the Powers of Europe are beginning to understand that the coercion of Greece may mean war, which, in all pro babiiicy, would spread and involve more than two great kingdoms in its horrible grasp. I Lord Salisbury, who allows the French Minister of war to be his mouthpiece, and in all probablity his authority in foreign diplomacy, and his nephew, Mr. Balfour, when questioned in the House of which they are respective leaders, have on more I than one occasion given most contrad ctory answers. So fla grant has this contradiction become, that to draw attention from it, Mr. Baifour, on Thursday evening last week, thought fit to lose bis temper and create a 4 scene in the House of Commons. As he was unable to frame answers to pertinent I questions asked of him as to the Cretan alfair, Mr. Balfour thought proper to 'draw a red herring across the scent,' and hoped to divert atteiation by accusing the Liberal leaders of doing their best outside that House to embarrass the Government. Mr. Chaplin, on Wednesday, tried to I, imitate his leader, but with still less success. He accused Sir William Harcourt of I inei I ting' Greece to resist the Powers in his Norwich speech. However justifiable that may be, Sir William did nothing of the kind. What be said was this: It is easy for us to speak, but it is for Greece, in the crisis of her fate, to decide what she is to do. We ought not to forestall her judg- ment. We ought to say and do nothing which shall imperil her safety and her for- tune.' Could anybody use words that were more moderate? No doubt, Sir William, like many others, praised Greece for what she has done, but that is not 'inciting her to resistance. Mr. Chaplin and Tories like him, to cloak I the action of the Government, make a point of saying that Greece insists on the annexa- tion of Cretetoberself., Gi-ecce, does notl;iag of the kind. What Greece stands out for is the right of Crete to determine for herself, whether she will have autonomy or annexa- tion whether she prefers to govern herself, or be governed by Greece. Surely, when we remember the history of the present crisis, and the past history of Crete, no fairer demand could be made by Greece. We hope that the plan of allowing the Sultan to appoint a governor of Crete will not be insisted upon; that the insane scheme of employing Bashi-bazouks as policemen in Crete will not be insisted upon, but that better counsels will prevail, and that the de- mand made by Greece will yet be acceded to.
_ SLINGS AND ARROWS.;
SLINGS AND ARROWS. ,r, IBy A YEOMAN OF THE GUARD]. I always thought that Ruthiu prided itself upon its loyalty. In Rutbin or its neigh bourhood lives the gentleman who took it upon himself to march the Mayor and Cor- poration to Church, bearing J'udge Gran tham's flowing robes. That the Mayor and Corporation did not relish this flwnkeyism was no fault of the promoter. I should have therefore thought a town which nearly wenf mad over Her Majesty's repiesentative, would be stricken badly with the Longest Reign Fever': This, however, does not ap- pear to be the case. I believe that some time ago, a Committee was appointed to I draw out schemes for suitably earring out tha commemoration of the event. Nothing has been heard of the matter since. When loyalty touches the pocket, it is apt, in some neighbourhoods to fall to freezing poliat. Is this the case with Ruthin ? If so, how are the mighty fallen 1 m • » • A week or two ago, I referred to the action of the Denbigh Infirmary Committee, in conneection with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. I called attention to the fact that circulars were sent out advocating the claims of the Infirmary for special recogni tion during this year. Since then I have seen very unmistakable indications that the supporters of the Infirmary—not neces- sarily the members of the committee—are quietly ignoring the resolutions massed at the Mayor's meeting. Appeals have been published, three-fourths of their contents being devoted to the Infirmary, and about one fourth to the Intermediate School. I was under the impression that loyalty to the Queen included and was mostly demonstrated by loyalty to the existing powers. The Mayor is the representative of the Queen in the Borough of Denbigh, and the unanimous resolutions carried at a meeting convened by him ought to be faithfully adhered to. But they are not. These persons prove their loyalty to the Queen, by their disloyalty to the Queen's representative. If such con- duct as this is continued to be indulged in, it would be better to drop the commemora- tion business altogether. • « m m I fail to see myself, why such an occasion as this-- the Queen's Diamond Jubilee— furnishes an excuse for treating old people and children. I would be the last in the world to grudge any extra happiness to either old or young. But is making a show I of them, an element of happiness? It may be to some extent in the case of children, but I feel very certain that it is not, so far as the old people are concerned. Moat of those who will be asked to partake of this public hospitality will be old men and old women, who spend most of their lives in ra tii ement, and although the meal given to them may be better, and even more plenti- ful than their common fare, any extra gra tification of this sort will be more than balanced by the fact that scores of well.. dressed strangers will be looking on. Be- sides, public feeding by charity pauperises a person, morally, although not legally.
DENBIGH.
DENBIGH. "r-r-< A new Club.We understand that it is contemplated to form a club in connection with the Graig Quarry. A preliminary meeting was held on Thursday evening, at Bodawen. The Asylum.—A sub-committee was held at the Asylum last Tuesday, to elect a clerk of the works, but ultimately the matter was adjourned until next Tuesday. There are six candidates selected, two of them being local men. The County Examination.—On Thursday afternoon, and evening, the Annual County Examination in connection with the Calvin istic Methodists of the Vale of Clwyd was held. There were sittings at each chapel, and a large number of candid teg came for- ward. The results will be known in about a month. Church of England leraperance Society. On Thursday night at the National School, a meeting was held by the above society, when an interesting address was delivered by Miss Wilson, Liverpool. Songs were rendered by Miss Jenny Jones Rev, J. J. Jones, Mr. R. Jones, tire. The Rev. J. Mor- gan presided. gan presided. The Institute- of Journalists.—Last Satur- day, at the quarterly meeting of the above Institute, for the Liverpool District, Mr. J. J. Evans of this office, and Mr. T. Gwyn Jones of the BllNER Office, were elected members. They were proposed and secon- ded respectively by Mr. J. Ll. Williams and Mr. C. Cottom. Swan Lane Chapel Literary Society,-At their meeting on Monday night, a paper was read by Mr. Walter Roberts (of this office), on 5 Is the church doing what she ought to de- fend the young against the dangers of the times.' The Rev. James Charles presided over a fair attendance. After the paper was read, tbe' chairman, Mr. William Ro- berts, Beacon's Hill, and Mr. William Ro- berts, Park Street, spoke. Accident.-Last Wednesday morning, an accident which might have been a serious one, happened at the Graig Quarry. Mr. Robert Jones, Beacon's Hill and others, were shifting a large stone, weighing over six tons, when it suddenly slipped, striking Jones in his leg. He fell down at once, and it was feared that his leg had been smashed. Most fortunately, however,no bones had been broken, and beyond a severe swelling, it is not thought that there is any material in- jury. Promotion for a Denhighite.—About eigh- teen months ago, we had the pleasure of chronicling the fact that Mr. Thomas Ro- berts, second snn of M-. Thomas Roberts, Castle View, of this town had been appoin- ted inspector of Weights and Measures under the Cardiff Corporation, subject to his pas- sing the Board of Trade examination. This he did, being the only successful candi- date at the time out of a large number. We now learn that he has been appointed Inspector of Weights and Measures under the Kent County Council, for the Home and Elham District. This district comprises the important towns of Canterbury, Folkestone, Hythe, and Sandgate, as well as many country villages in this 'Garden of England.' Mr. Roberts's appointment is worth E184 a year, and to secure this sum, he will only be required to work 168 days. We feel sure that his many Denbigh friends will be ex- tremely glad to hear about his success.
. COMPLIMENTARY CONCERT TO…
COMPLIMENTARY CONCERT TO MISS JENNY JONES. Last Friday evening, a complimentary concert to Miss Jenny Jones, the well known Denbigh soprano, was given at the Drill Hall. An excellent audience had assembled, proving the popularity of the beneficiare and the justice oflthe movement. The arrangements were in the hands of a committee, of which the Rev. Evan Jones (C.M.) was chairman, and Messrs. Gwilym Parry and J. Palmer secretaries. The com mittee was composed of representatives from all the religious denominations of the town. An attractive programme had been arranged, all the artistes without excep- tion, giving their services gratuitously. There were, however, a few changes from the printed programme. A quartette party composed of Messrs. R. Williams, Robert Jones, Meirion Jon erf, and R. G. Jones bad been announced to sing twice, but circum- stances prevented them appearing. Mrs. Burton Gliffiths, of Chester, was also down for three songs, but she was unable to come, being laid Ur. She, however, provided an efficient substitute in the person of Miss Walmsley, of Chester. Mr. T.W. Salusbury, one of the accompanists, was also unable to be present, and his share of the work was divided between Messrs. Allen and Bellamy. It is not necessary to allude to the per- formances of the ladies and gentlemen who appeared. They were all good. Miss Walmsley has a sweet soprano voice, and she uses it with considerable skill. Miss Helsby sang her single contribution excel lently, and fully deserved the enthusiastic encore she was greeted with. Miss Williams was also very successful. Mr. Barlow is unknown in Denbigh, although a favourite at St. Asaph and other towns. He has a tenor voice of considerable compass, rnd his songs were sung with taste and feeling. Messrs. Bartley, Swayne, J. T. Meirion Jones, and R. G. Jones-all of whom are well known in Den bigh sanff exceedingly well, each of them being encored. Mr. C. M. Humphreys, as the comedian of the evening, was, as usual,

_H_ QUEEN VICTORIA'S JUBILEE NURSE INSTITUTE. ANNUAL MEETING. THE annual meeting of the Denbigh branch of the above Institute was held on Friday in the Council Chamber, Town Hall, The mayor (Mr. W. Mellard) presided and there were present the s (Mrs. Mellard) Mrs. E. T. Jones, Mrs. Frank Wynne, Mrs. Caithness, Mrs. Cottom, Mrs. Hani-son Jones, Mrs. Win. Parry, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Copner Wynne Edwards, Mrs. Clough. Mrs. Benson Evans, Miss Griffith (Plas Pigott) Miss Gold Edwards, Miss J. P. Lewis, the Misses Townshend, the Misses Humphreys Roberts, Mrs. Humphreys Roberts (lady superintendent), Mrs. Wynne Edwards (hon. secretary), the Rev. J. Morgan, Mr. T. Gold Edwards, Dr. J. R. Hughes, and Mr. A. O. Evans. A letter of apology was read from Miss Gee. The Mayor, in his opening address, thanked the committee for having a second time honoured him in asking him to be pre- sent at the meeting, and take the chair. It was indeed a great honour, and he consi- dered there was no institution in their midst doing half as much good as the nurses In- stitute (applause). They were very fortun- ate in having Nurse Williams amongst them, and the report would show what good work she was doing, having nursed 124 patients during the year, and pa,id 2,772 visits (hear, hear). That was really most satisfactory. Through the kindness of Mrs. Evan Pierce (cheers) who, with the assistance of her friends, had promoted a concert at Salus- bury place, a handsome sum of XII 19s. had been realised, and he was sure they all felt very much indebted to Mrs. Pierce and her friends, for the trouble they bad taken in bringing that concert to such a successful issue (applause). The Institute was most fortunate in having a gentleman as chair- man who took such a deep interest in the institution (hear, bear). A better and a more suitable gentleman could not be found than Mr. Gold Edwards (applause) who de- voted time and energy to the discharge I of his duties as chairman of the commit tee. The committee were also most fortunate in having secured the services of Mrs. Humphreys Roberts as Lady Superin- tendent, and Mrs. Wynne Edwards as Hon. Secretary (cheers). Nobody but those who had held similar positions, kneù the amount of work which devolved upon these ladies. They had their souls in the work however— which was a great pleasure to them no doubt -and the meeting felt greatly indebted to them for their painstaking efforts (cheers). The finances of the institution would not suffer while entrusted to the hands of Mr. Hughes (cheers). This year would see the celebration of Her Majesty's Diamond Ju- bilee. The Nurse Institute, as they were all aware, was started during Her Majesty's Jubilee year, and in Den ,jigh a c mmence- ment was made six years ago,and during that period, a great deal of excellent work had been done by means of the branch amongst the poor of Denbigh (cheers). He could only hope that in future—during the next six years they would be able to do equally well (hear, hear). Mrs. Wynne Edwards then read the sixth annual report, for the year ending February 27th last, as follows:— The Committee have the pleasure of present- ing to the subscribers their Sixth Annual Re" port of the work carried on !>y the Institute during the past year. It is satisfactory to note that Nurse Williams' services are greatly valued, and that her patients speak of her care and attention with nmcli gratitude. During the past year shq lias nurs; d 124 patients, and paid 2,772 visits. Since our Annual Meet- ing an important change has been made in the Regulations. Hitherto the nurse has not been allowed to attend infectious cases: but the committee, after much deliberation and confer- ence, with the medical gentlemen of the town, have decided that, subject to certain well defined conditions, she may be allowed to attend diph- theria cases. The Committee have pleasure in reporting that the finances of the Institute are in a satisfactory condition. The Committee are especially indebted to Mrs. Evan Pierce for her kindness in promoting, with the assistance of her friends, a concert, the proceeds of which have considerably augmented the funds. The gross receipts for the year amount to jE88 8s. Id., and the expenditure to 978 46s. The Com- mittee are glad to report that the service of the Nurse are appreciatpcl by ptivate patients, from whom the sum of 97 ids. has been received for attendance. It will be interesting to the Subscribers to learn that by command of Her Majesty the Queen, the Nurse as a member of i. the Queen Victoria's Jubilee Institute for Nurses,' attended a reception at Windsor Cas- tle in July last. Mr. Gold Edwards said it devolved upon him as chairman of the committee to move the adoption of the report. He felt it a great honour to be chairman of that com- mittee, for he might say that he never saw a committee doing its work more satisfac- torily (applause). They met once a month, all the ladies had learnt to be punctual, and as the clock struck three, all the members of the committee were in their places (cheers). They went through their business in a business like manner; everything was placed before them in a satisfactory way by the excellent secretary and lady superintendent; they never had a misunder- standing, and were able to leave the room in a very short time (applan ;e). As to the report, there was nothing very special to say with regard to it, although it was an uncom- mon circumstance in these days to be able to report that the funds of the (institution were in a satisfactory condition, but thanks to the liberality of friends, they were now in this desirable position. He hoped they would, next year, be able to find kind friends that would give them the same substantial assistance as Mrs, Evan Pierce gave them last year (applause) Had it not been for Mrs. Pierce's munificent help, the expendi- ture of the institution would be more than the receipts, and that would not be a very satisfactory position of affairs. They would theiefore be very glad of a few additional subscribers. With reference to paragraph 3 in the report, the committee had, since the report was sent to the hands of the printers, a special meeting in consequence of the outbreak of measles in the district, and an application received from the nurse to be allowed to attend such cases. The committee did not feel justified to give her authority to attend cases of measles without consulting the medical men of the town. That was a precaution the committee was bound to take. However, the result was that the nurse had been allowed to attend many cases of measles that bad occurred in the town. It was a. great satisfaction to the committee to know that the nurse in at- tending to these cases was not likely to cause harm to other patients (hear, hear). The report was then unanimously agreed to. GIFTS. It was reported that gifts of various des- criptions had been received during the year from Mrs. Charles, Mrs. T. A. Wynne Ed- wards, Mrs. Harrison (Goppa), Mrs. H. Jones, Mrs. E. T Jones, Mrs. Humphreys Roberts, Mrs. T. J. Williams, Mrs. F. Wynne, Miss Gold Edwards. Miss Gee, Miss Gibson, Miss Griffith, Miss Lewis, Misses Lloyd, MissA. G. Wynne, and the Ministering Children's League. The Board of Management was unani- mously re-elected, on the motion of the Mayoress, seconded by Mrs. Wynne Ed- wards ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The Rev. John Morgan moved the re-elec- tion of the officers (cheers), which he did with great pleasure. It was not neces- sary for him to make any observations to make such a proposal acceptable to the meeting. A better chairman of the com- mittee than Mr. Gold Edwards could not be found (applause). As to the Lady Superin- tendent they all knew Mrs Humphreys Ro- berts, and as far as his knowledge went, it would be quite impossible to find anybody in Denbigh and district to work more" satis- factorily than Mrs. H. Roberts (cheers). The same might be said of Mrs. Wynne Ed- wards. During the time she had acted as secretary, she had given entire satisfaction to the committee in the discharge of her duties (applause). The same remark also applied to Mr. Hughes, who had kindly acted as treasurer. Mrs. Clough seconded, and the motion was carried. Mrs. R. H. Roberts said she wished to make an explanation with reference to an item in the report. A sum of 25s had been incurred by the nurse in travelling expenses to attend a reception at Windsor Castle. She (Mrs. Roberts) had heard people remark, that this amount ought not to be paid out of the money collected to the Nurse's Fund. It should be borne in mind, that the nurse went to Windsor at her own expense, and the committee thought that was rather more than could be expected from the nurse. She had been commanded to attend by the Head Office, "nd the committee thought it only right to defray her travelling expenses. That was the reason why the item appeared in the report. Mr. Gold Edwards said he ventured to make a suggestion to the mayor. They were all aware that an effort was to be made to get up a fund for the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen. The committee addressed a letter to the public meeting recently held in con- nection with this matter, in which the claim of the Nurse's institute were very modestly mentioned. The letter after being read, was put on one side. He might say that even the smallest contribution would be gladly accepted, and if a -vio or £20 note was given from the funds so collected, it would help the Nurse's Institute greatly, whilst the Diamond Jubilee Fund would not suffer much thereby. The Mayor .said that in his speech at the meeting, he called special attention to the Nurse's Institute, as a very suitable object to be acknowledged and helped, together with the Infirmary. He had no voice in the matter, but if he had been called to give his casting vote on that occasion, he would most certainly have done so in favour of the Nurse's Institute (hear, hear, and applause). Last year they had a balance in hand on May Day Fund, and if they would secure a similar balance this year, he w. uld ask the committee to vote them some amount (hear, hear). The usual votes of thanks were passed, and the meeting brought to a conclusion,
THE LIBERAL CLUB.
THE LIBERAL CLUB. The annual meeting of the above club (which was briefly alluded to in our last issue), was held on Thursday evening, the 18th inst., the chair being taken by the acting president, Mr. Gee. The statement of accounts for the year ending 28th February last was read, and

most satisfactory. The violin solos of Mr. Horace Haselden, were among the best things of the evening. He was encored each time, and in response to his "eond re call, he played A request,' composed by himself, which is in reality a gem. Part of it was played with muted strings and during this time 'we could have heard a pin drop,' so intense was the attention of eve y body in the audience. Mr. Allen gave two of Men- delssohn's songs without word. iu a style that left nothing to be desired. As accom- panists, Messrs. Allen and Bellamy were eminently successful. The programme was as follows :— PART I. Violin and piano duett, War March of the Priest,' Messrs. Horace Haselden and A. H. Allen. Song, Mona,' Mr. E. Bar! >w„ Song, 4 Tatters (encored), Mi Helsby. Violin solo,' Mazur' (encored), Mr. Horace Haselden. Song, Dream of Paradise,' Miss Walmsley. Song, 5 Y Ddinas Sanctaidd (encored), Mr. R. G. Jones.

Comic song, 'The OoperzQotic,' Mr. C. M. Humphreys. During an interval in the second part, Mr I Gee thanked the audience for their presence I and patronage, on behalf of Miss Jenny Jones. He had been accq nainted with Miss I Jones for many years, and was always de- lighted to listen to her singing. She was a young lady of good and irreproachable I character, who had always placed her talents and her services at the disposal of every good work. In fact, he did not think that she had ever refused to assist a deserving cause. He hoped that she would long be spared to render her valuable help to those who stood in need of it, Mr. Gee concluded his remarks by proposing a vote of thanks i o the Mayor for presiding. The Mayor was a few years ago a complete stranger to the town. but now he was cne of the best known in their borough. He was an excellent Mayor, and he hoped that long life would be granted to the Mayor and the Mayoress to do good in the town of their adoption (loud cheers). The Mayor thanked Mr. Gee for his kind words, and the audience for the way they bad received them. He was only too pleased when the committee asked him to be presi- dent, to conform with their wishes. He knew Miss J ones: and she more than deser- ved what had now been got up for her. He wished to thank the artistes, all of whom gave their services free. It was they in reality who had made the concert a succes (cheers). We hope that as a result of the concert, a substantial sum will be handed over to Miss Jones.
