Geary, F A 1 (U^ Green«algn and Ge»ry offered for sale by auction-^ several iota of valuable pr> .ltl3'U(,1Ij8 several cottages, business premises, and prl?.ate residences. There was a large number 61 T people in the sale room, including some of the ¡ most prominent property owners in the town. c, Mr. Geary in introducisg the sale, remarked that the present was the most opportune time for investment. Everything pointed to the progress of the town of Rhyl. Building was extensively carried on, principally by local builders, preparations were in progress to light the town with electricity, mi *ter -v-ieni nf tramways.the pro,: •«**« bein^extended, company were spending a con fciacrable su;n of money ia enlarging the station. All this had a tendency to enhance the value of property in the town, and investors were keenly seeking investments in the town and were offering money on mortgage at a low rate of interest, The first lot offered consisted of two cottages, outbuilding, and land, known as Ty Moel. This property was withdrawn at 9240. Two newly built cottages in West Street, were sold at £360, and four other cottages in the same street, at £ 400. Four lots of building land were bid for to 5s. 6d. per yard, at which figure they were withdrawn. Other lots including shops and business premises were withdrawn. BRITISH SCHOOLS CONCERT. On Thursday a grand concert was given in aid of the fuods of the British Schoola in the grand Pavilion. Mr. R. Llewelyn Jones, C.C. presided over a large and appre- ciative audience. No place in the Principality can boast of a better equipped and Btaffed ele- mentary schools, than the KhylBritishSchools, and to keep them up in the high state of effi- ciency they have attained, entails consider- able responsibility on the part of the managers. Twice have the Rhyl people rejected a proposal to establish a school board for the district, and in doing that they became morally bound to keep elementary education going by Voluntary contribntions. Unfortunately, the burden falls on a few, and those few have contributed handsomely. But it is high time that those who stand appalled at the mere mention of a School Board, should recognise their responsibility. A concert once in a way is all very well as a means of realising a few pounds, but those parents whose children receive gratuitously a thorough scholastic grounding in these schools, and who do not contribute a penny towards the expense, surely should do something towards their maintenance. The programme was lengthy, but very entertaining, and was sus- tained with great spirit. Parts were taken by Christ Churcb School Girls, Miss J. E. Jones, Emmanuel School Children, Mr. W. E. Jones, Llinos Clwyd, Mr. Tom Barlow, Miss Claudia Davies, Messrs. Dap Jones, and Pieicc, Miss Gertrude Humphreys, Christ Church School Infants, Christ Church School Boys (Drill), Miss Ada Williams, Brunswick Trio Party, Miss E. W. Amos, and Miss L. Williams.

Shankland apologised for the absence of two of the choirs that had entered-the Mold and Llanrwst choira, They had failed to induce the London and North Western Railway Company to run return trains after the Eisteddvod on the branch lines (' Shame'). The company got a large amount of money out of the Eisteddvod every year, and they would get more if they made some effort to meet the convenience of those who wanted to compete at it (applause). Penllyn, the conductor, hoped the subject would be taken up in earnest by the different districts, for they all knew from experience the difficulties which public gatherings of that description suffered from the want of adequate railway facilities on the part of the London and North Western Railway (applause). The competition was then proceeded with, the test piece being 'Consecration' (Tom, Price). Two choirs ce me forward—the Ffyn- ongroew and the Newmarket juvenile choirs. The adjudicator pooled the first and second prizes, and divided them equally between the choirs. The prize for the recitation 'Killed at the Ford,1 was carried off by Master Gwilym Lloyd Evans (Rhyl). Master Gwilym Parry (Holywell) was the only competitor who came forward to contest for the silver challenge cup, and his playing was adjudged worthy of it. The winner of the chair prize was declared to be Mr. D. M. Edwards (Morwyllt), Llan- gefni), and he was installed with the usual ceremony. Out of three competitors in the baritone solo competition, the prize was awarded to Mr. W. E. Jones (Conway). The prize for the glee, 'The Spring' was carried off by the Rhyl Glee Party.
