A WRONG IMPRESSION.—A correspondent TP1?* \v\ m°a?r car,_ H3cd by the Liverpool and North \\ales Steamship Company to carry paa- •engers between Colwyn Bay and Llandudno was on_ Friday prooeedmg- on its journev, the route being via the Promenade and the Marine Drivo When the car came to the latter plaop the driver was surprised to find that an obstruction bad been placed across the road. This was. some, attributed to Mr Morton, the own^r of the road, who it was surmised was favourable to a rival company. The real reason, however, was t.nat the road is the private property of Mr Jaorlon, and once a year, to assort his rights, he closes the thoroughfare, chosinsr the first week in September as the time for doins: so. Representations having been made bv the police that to close the road at this time of the vear was an inconvenience to visitors. Mr Horfon im- fn^mtely removed the obstruction. *onn S. ?? j J ESCAPE.—At about twelve •Jn, T a motor car, driven bv Thomas Ivor, of BodeJwyddan Rail. Rt 4^,nh, was proceeding across the bottom of Ft.i^on- read, when by some means unknown on], Bded with a youn.<r woman. Miss Fliz Bryn Cwm, Poamachno.

BENEFIT OF MADAME T T*'ST,T]7 "it aesday evening the Church Room was to the door with a most enthusiastic audience J on the oooasion of the benefit of Madame Maud Leslie, the proprietress of the Australian Bio- scope Company.. The programme was undoubt- edly the finest presented in the town during the season, comprising as it did the leading artistes from all the various local entertainments. By kind permission of Mr Chas. Dare, the three favourites, Messrs James Carr, Dan O'Connor, and George Snow, appeared. Catlin's Royal Pierrots gave one of their popular programmes, and the Novelty Bohemians also added to the wening's enjoyment with a capital number of items. Undoubtedly the favourites of the even- ing were Messrs Harry Evans and Richard Foreshaw, principal tenor and baritone respec- tively, of the Liverpool Cathedral. Mr Ernest Wilinski, aolo pianist, was heartily and deserved- ly applauded for his ,contributions. The re- mainder of the programme was made up of a number of animated piotures, including the "Liverpool Pagiant" and the "Visit of the Channel Fleet." NURSE BAILEY wishes to thank those of her friends who so kindly subscribed towards her testimonial, and particularly those living in Park-road, for the beautiful silver ink-stand whioh they presented her. THE NEW GUIDE.—The Town Advertising Association, under the auspices of the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council, have just published their new offioial guide to the town and district. In several respeets the booklet is a distinct im- provement upon all its predecessors. It is printed on better paper, the work is oleaner, the illustrations are more artistic, and numerous use- ful new features have been introduoed in the way of information. A striking feature of the brochine is a beautifully-coloured frontispiece prepared from the splendid painting of the town and promenade by Mr A. M. Drinkwater. Other excellent coloured pictures are given of the Vic- toria Pavilion and Pier, the new Promenade in the direction of Rhos-on-Sea, and the Dingle. A number of new photographic views have also been introduced with capital effect. Mr T. J. Dowell has supplied a useful list of short and in- teresting walks in the vicinity of the town, and a correct table ef the rates of hire of hackney oarriages and boats has been added. The plan of the town's streets and walks has been en- larged and revised by Mr T. J. Dunning, who has not overlooked the smallest detail—even to the oharge in the railway station's location. Ad- vantage has also been taken of the opportunity to circulate by means of the guide the convincing reply given by Mr Walter Whitehead, F.R.C.S., to Mr Galloway Weir's extraordinary insinua- tions in reference to the sanitation of the town. Mr T. Edwards (the chairman) and the Guida Committee are to be heartily congratulated upon the new booklet, the cost of whioh, by the way, will be almost entirely covered by the adver- tisements. "NIGHT OF THE PARTY."—One of the most amusing farcictd comedies composed during recent years is Mr Weedon Grossmith's "Night of the Party." On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the author's own company presented the piece at the Public Hall, and nightly de- lighted large audie.nce3. From start to finish there was not a dull moment. This was very largely dae to the portrayal of Crosbie by Mr Edwin H. Wynne. The company also included Miss Mab Paul, who has toured with the late Sir Henry Irving, Mr Oscar Asche, etc. NARROW ESCAPE—Between 11 and 12 o'olock on Friday morning, Howell Jones, the little son of Mr David Jones, of the Carlton Motor Works, experienced a narrow escape. He was running across the road opposite his father a shop, when a motor oharabanc coming from the direction of Llandudno came along. The child did not see it, but dashed straight into it, the edge of the oar catching him on the side of the head. The little fellow was thrown under the car, which could not be pulled up before it had passed over the spot where the child had been thrown. When picked up the child was found to have escaped injury, with the exception of a slight) bruise on the side of the head, where the edge of the car had caught him. No blame could be attached to the chauffeur, who was driving at a very moderate pace. T.A.A.-vA committee meeting of the T.A.A. was held in the Council Chamber on Monday night, Mr J, Fred Francis presiding. Mr T. Edwards, chairman of the Guide Committee, presented the new guide. The details wero fully explained, and complete satisfaction was ex- pressed with the work. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr Edwards for the manner in which the guide had been produced. Mr Ed- wards. replying, said that if the guide had given satisfaction that was all the return he desired. If it were not for the hearty co-operation of the secretary and several others he would not have been so successful. It was resolved to hold a variety entertainment during November. It was further decided to hold future meetings of the Association every Thursday at 8.30 p.m.. and to present a copy of the new guide to the mem- bers of the Urban District Council. Mr Ed- wards explained that the glass case placed on the electric pole at the bottom of Penrhyn-road had been fixed a few weeks ago, and during that brief interval, over a dozen notices of jewellery lost bv visitors had been displayed in it. Of these three had called, and informed him that through the medium of the case they had recovered their lost pronertv- SUCCF OF A POSTMAN —Mr R. J. Lloyd, of the Colwyn Bay Post Office, has passed his examination for the Civil Service Commission (Postal Department). It was a very keen com- petition nevertheless, his name stands well up on the list. Considering the difficulties he had to contend with Mr Lloyd may well be proud of his achievemant. He had been coached by Mr E. Owen, of the Cotwyn Bay High School. TWO FAVOURITES.—On Monday evening Chas. Lee and James Craig ("the mighty atom"), favourite membere of the Catlin's Pierrot troupe, were given a "benefit" on the Pierrot pitch. There was a very large attendance, and the audienoe testified to the excellence of the pro- gramme by their repeated recalls. Every member of the troupe introduced new numbers, whilst several concerted items were given for the first time. Chaa. E. Lewis, aided by "Joey," gave his ventriloquial sketoh, ontitled "Joey at the telephone." By spocial roquest the sketches "The Village Pump" and "The New Boy" were also given. DARE'S BENEFIT CONCERT.—On Monday evening, Mr Chas. Dare, organiser of the min- strel troupe, held his complimentary benefit con- cert in the Public Hall. There was a good at- tendance, and an excellent programme was presented. Each number was loudly applauded, and in several instances encores had to be ac- ceded to. The first half consisted of the usual "sit round," concluding with a grand military finale, entitled "Capt. Reginald Darcv, of the Guards," in which Mr Dare proved himself as admirable as an army offioeT. The second por- tion of the programme was devoted entirely to specialities Mr Fred Esdale, in his whistling solo, was heard to good effeot. Mr George Leslie Buxton very cleverly presented his char- acter sketches from Diokens, and his chapo- granhv entertainment. George Snow was un- doubtedly the favourite of the evening, and in company with his wife, gave a laughable inter- lude. entitled "A Lesson in Acting." In reply to a vigorous encore they gave several imitations of Southern American camp meetings. Dan O'Connor was heard to advantage in "Bridget, and Sam Morrison, female impersonator, by re- quest, sang "II Bacio" very creditably. An un- commonly entertaining programme was brouprht to a close with the laughable sketch entitled "The Mad House." pPn-->^T) CTTOnAL SOCIETY AT COTAVYN BAY. Mr F. Gurney Barnett, Normanhurst, Colwyn Bay writes:—"Last year, and again this year, I have been approached to form and conduct choral society in Colwyn Bay. Having decided to try and form suoh a society, I beg to inform all who are interested in musio that a meeting has been arranged to be held at Mr Fleet's music rooms at £ o p.m. prompt on Tuesday next, to see what can be done before the winter com- mences. I wish it. to be understood that the choral society is to be strictly non-sectarian An invitation is given to all interested to attend the mSg as above. In the nmghbounng town of Rhyl a choral society has been w oxistenee for many years; surely, in a town like Colwyn Bay, with a larger population, no difficulty ought to be experienced in getting together a ^lont number of singers capable of doing credit to the town."

However, when Mr Duncan Miliar asked the doctors to sign the certificate they both declined to do so.—Mr Duncan Mil- lox I am with you, but we must sign the papers.-Dr. Wolstamholme I will never sign one.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A CARRIER.- Whilst unloading a timber waggon at the rail- way station, on Wednesday afternoon, William Jones. of Caerwys, sustained severe injuries, which necessitated his removal to the Denibigh Infirmary. It a,ppears that Jones and his son were unfastening the chains that bound the load on the waggon. Having loosened his end of the chain, William Jones jumped off the load, and instantly a huge log of timber fell upon him, pinning him to the ground. He received two severe wounds in the head, and his right leg was broken. P.C. Pendlebury rendered first aid, and Dr. Peter Jones was telephoned for and arrived on the scene in a few minutes. Willing helpers rendered valuable assistance, and the un- fortunate man was subsequently removed to the Denbigh Infirmary.

LLANFAIRTALHAf ARM. FIRST FRUITS OF THE '59 REVIVAL. The funeral of Mrs A. Pieroe, formerly of Dolhaiarn, took place at the public oemetery here on Saturday. Maaiy people from miles around had oome to pay their last tribute of re- spect to one whom tiiey higindy esteemed1. The Rev. T. Frimston^ of Old Colwyn, otlioated. 'The ohief mourners were: Mr Robert Pierroa (son); M-re Martha Evans, ^re Douglas, Mr3 Williams (damgnters); Miss Pieroe, in Scotland, being unahle to attend, Mr Peter Williams, of Oolwyn Bay. and Mr Evan Williams, of Mioch- dre (brothers). Amonig other relatives present were: Mrs Williams, of Nevydd Villa, Colwyn, and Mr William Roberts, and iVLrs Robarts. of Trealaw Soutih Wales. The minister having read John v., 20 to 29. and prayer, he, at the girave. spoke of many good qualities of fihe de- ceased. Mr F rime tan recalled an interesting faot in connection with her life. Being con- verted at the early age of fifteen the deoeased and' a female companion, studied the question of baptism, and were baptised in the river Elwv by tihe saintly Rev. William Roberts, of Ffordd- las, whose name still remains a houeehold word among the Baptists of North Wales. Among the onlookera on that oooasion was another youing woma.n. who had never witnessed the ad- ministering of baptism by immersion, and was so impressed by that service that she straightway went home, consulted her Bible on the verses referred to, with tlhe oonsequenoe that she for- got all her duties of milking oowsi, etc. These three proved to be in this district the first fruits of the Revival of '69. which ultimately extend- ed over the whole of the Principality. Mrs Pieroe possessed strong religious convio- tiono, and had1 an unbroken ohurdh membership during over 50 years. Her early oompanions in life had long since disappeared, ghe alone remaining the senior member of the Baptist Ohuroh at Llanfair, and the last surviving mem- ber who had been worshipping in tJhe old his- toric ohaped, whose remains are close by, n0- tabLe as being the battle ground of the stirring doctrinal controversies of Sandemanianism, Calvinism, Arminianism, and Fullerism. The first advocated some Eastern usages art many Christian ordinances, the second was strenuously oppos-A beoaiuse, it was heIdi, it limited the number of the saved; the tihird was withstood as relying too much uoon the ability of man, whereas the last was welcomed as a. system likely to satisfy botlh. Nothing would give deceased more pleasure thain recounting those docbrinaj struggles which indelibly mark- ed those heart-stirring days of her youth.

I have been on the road for a fortnight, and I want to be locked up." Witness said that the trousers were too small for him. I know," re- marked defendant, "or else I would have worn them." The Defendant admitted the oharge, and said that the trousers did not fit him. Mr Harry Clegg (a magistrate): So if they fitted you, you would have put them on?

LATEST PUBLICATIONS. LOrits1^? CLI^fATES AND TUBERCU- exceiiPnt !iaP'S lml)orta»t of all the presses delivered at the Hastings meecing of the British Balneological and Clinm- tological Society in March last was that of Mr W llham Ewart, M.D., F.R.C.P., M.R.C.S. senior physician to the St. George's Hospital' London. Dr. Ewart dealt with "Marine Cli- mates in the Treatment of Tuberculosis," and, happily, he has just been prevailed upon to publish the address in book form. The work, which has been prepared by Messrs Bailliere, iindall, and Cox, of Covent Garden, and is sold at one shilling a copy, is of the first interest to seaside communities and those subject to lung troubles. This may be gathered from the fol- lowing extracts relating to the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis: "Sea air alone will not cure bad cases that inland air cannot cure. But sea air is specially fitted to cure the liability to tuberculosis. Its powers in prevention have hardly been fully turned to account. In connection with the modern ideas of treatment in pulmonary phthisis the seaside has been at a disdvantage in two directions: (a) It possesse? no germioidal virtues comparable to those aimed at by bacteriological methods; (b) the rest cure, which is the unchallenged doctrine of the day, is not its special strong point; on the contrary, the soul of marine climatio treatment is muscu- lar exercise. Both these objections are believed to be temporary, and when they have lapsed a great future will be opened up to the sea-coast for the efficient treatment of phthisis. # A greatly extended use of our seaside climates' is also indicated for young adults threatened with tuberculosis, and for a consider- able section of the large group of surgical and glandular tuberculosis. For all these categories, in which the prevention of pulmonary tubercu- losis is to be aimed at rather than its cure, our best marine olimates are suitable just as they are." Speaking of sanatoria, Dr. Ewart-states: "We possess in proportion to our population an unparalleled wealth and variety of marine cli- matio stations. Thoir powers of prevention are vastly in advance of their powers for cure. Prevention is par excellence the use to which they should be put, and this is also the steadily growing tendency In the sanatorium movement in this country. The plaoe for the 'Prevention- Sanatorium' or 'Preventorium' is tho sea-coast." W commnd Dr. Fwart's valuable work to all interested in the future of seaside resorts and the welfare of the British pooplo.

SALE OF WORK AT COLWYN BAY. SUCCESSFUL FUNOTION IN AID OF THE Y. M.C.A. OPENING OEREMONIES. A two days' sale of work in aid of the funds of too Colwyn Bay Y.M.C.A., was held in the Public Ha/11 on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Y.M.C.A. movement has accomplished much giood work in Colwyn Bay, and although only a few years have elapsed sinoe its inaugu- ration, the members have now at their dispo- sal a very fine set of rooms, including reading rooms, library, gaane roo eto. In addition there is a miniature rifle range, the branch be- ing affiliated to the Miniature Rifle Club. The affairs of the Association are well looked after by the energetic secretary. Mr S. Johnston, who oontimiaJly introduces new schemes,, which tend both to interest and instruct the members. Notwithstanding all these advantages, however, tlhe memfbaraihifp iroll. although a large on is not what it should be and the amount received from pubsoriptions is not sufficient to meet the expenditure. Voluntary contributions are also exoeediinigly smaJa. and it is to bo regretted that greater assistance is not derived in this direction. Memibsrs of some ohurches appear to regard tlhe Y M.C.A. as a movement which haft oome to take from them their young men, but such ia, of course, far from being the case. The object of the Association is to uplift thoso who have fallen into misfortune and attract them to the rooms, where they receive Ohristiam inspiration after which they are at liberty to join any ohurdh thev -wish. Every endeavour is also made to avoid clashing- with other relig- ious services in the town. Tho hall bore evidence to the great labour entailed on the preparation of the various stalls. Decorations were abundant, and the effect was moet pleasing. OPENING CEREMONY. At the outset, two vemea of hymn 611, "On- waird Christian Solkliera," were sung by the assembly, the Rev. J. Feather afterwards offer- ing up prayer. # Mr David (J amble, president of the Associa- tion. on rising, was loudly applauded* He said they were gathered there that day to raise a. sum of money in order to allow the Associa- tion to close their yea.r without a financial de- ficit. The Y.M.C.A. was a most deeervmg movement, and to young men who left their homes to work afield, it wias a most hellipful in- stitution (hear, hear). In Colwym Bay the Apsociatkm had a;n. exoollerut reading room, library, and rooms for games. In addition, they had a most excellent literary debat- ing society. He had heard the membars at work on one oooasion, and the standard of the speeches was exceedingly high. They further took part in social games, rambles through the country, a/nid eveirv form of amusement, which the members should appreciate, but the first object of the Association was the furthorment of Christian principles, whioh would assist tiho memibers whidst in purpuifc of their daily toil (app1aus-e). Mr Adamson said he had the privilege of in- troducing to the meeting Mrs Gamble, the wife of their worthy president- Up to that time they had not had the lady much in their midst, but he hoped to enjoy the privilege mare in the future (hear, hear). Mra Gamble bore a name that was greatly respected in one largo centre where men predominated^—(hear, hear), —and they heartily welcomed her there that diay (applause.1). WELSHMEN SHOULD BE PROUD. It was (some little time before Mrs Gamble was a-Jowed to speak, such was the oordiaJlity of her reception. It gave heir, she said, great pleasure to attend that day to assist in the work of the Y.M.C.A., an institution which ishe bejiievod to be one of the best. She hardly knew what to say as hesr husband had said wfha.t eh intended to (laughter). The movement was first ebaited by a Welshman, Sir Goorge Wil- liams, and Welshmen ought to be proud of tha/t (dheera). The least everyone Sbuld do "was to hedip it (hear. hear). It was Christian brother- hood that they wanted in thip country, and that was the end towards which the Association worked. She had great pleasure in declaring the ealo open, and wished it every suooeisa flbud cheers). Mr R. Jackson, proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs Gamible far performing the open- ing ceremony, and remarked that they waroted to mioo 116 much money as thoy oould by that sajo, for which the Ladies and had worked 8D zealously. Mr Johnston, the secre- tary, had also worked very hard on behalf of the movement, and to him they owed a debt of real giratitude (hear, hear). Mr R. R. Phnllipsi, in seconding, said that the presence of Mrs Gamble proved that she took interest an the Y.M.C.A. On behalf of the committee he extended to her a hearty wed- ooma. They had a. debt to meet, and as a committee they wished to finish the year no man anything (cheers). The Rev. J: Feather put the motion to fche meetrng, and it was carried midst loud cheers. Mr Gamble returned thanks in am appropri- ate manner. The gatherum then dispersed, and business ■wap soon in full swing-.

The assembly sang the hymn "0 Worship the King, this being followed by a prayer, offered up by the Rev. P. R. Turner. Tha Chairman, in introducing Mrs Jones- Mortimer, made reference to the valuable and universal work of the Y.M.C.A. He was espe- cially interested in the Association, as one of his sons had been a member of the institution at Shanghai- (applause). Mrs Jones-Mortimer, in a brief but very ap- propriate speech, declared the sale open. On the motion of Mr J. T. JPaylor, seconded by the Rev. J. Edwards, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mrs Jones-Mortimer and Dr. Jones for their assistance during the day.

ABERGELE CROWS. (By "Cockerel."). Noticing a horse belonging to Mr R. Roberts, Bronbellan, in a field with a large bandage around its right hind leg, the other day, I rash- ly jumped to the conclusion that the district had been invaded by animal maimers. Upon enquiry, however, m fears were aLlayed. It ajp- pears that the animal had tried to get out of the field over a style, and in doing so got its leg fast between some iron bars. In its endeavour to free itself, it sustained severe injuries to the limb referred to. I'm really glad that I did not start a page- ant here, and still more pleased that I did not become a guarantor. My satisfaction is caused by seeing an announcement that the Denbigh pageant will not take place, and that the poor guarantors have been called upon to settle up a bill of J6300 incurred over the preliminary • arrangements. The celebrations in connection with the majority of Lord Cochrane are to take place next month, and the proceedings will, I believe, take up the best part of a week. There are good times in store I can see, and I sincerely hope I do not contract some malady such as influenza, or small-pox, which will debar me [jyjfit enjoy- ing to the full the long looked for holiday.

OUR RESTLESS ROADS. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Bir,-I have just .reoeived from a prominent morriibor of the Manchester City Council a few satirical verses, a reprint of which, in the "Pioneer," will be sure to amihso the Council, officials, ratepayers, and visitors at Colwyn Bay and other districts of North Wales.—Yours faithfully, ELLIS LEVER. Oohvyn Bay, September 3rd. OUR ROAD. A familiar experience of ratepayers everywhere. There was joy in the air! For at last our road Was laid with some patent stuff, And its surface Bmooth, from ev'ry abode, Was praised more than" quantum sufi." We have waited long—but that we forget Since the work la now grandly done— And our City Fathers by all means let Us praise-for our thanks they've won. Two days went by. and we understood How beautiful life can he; And when night assumed its nocturnal hood We thought of our road with glee! But when in the morning we raised our blinds. Again to extol our road, The sight was enough to disturb our minds And some even said: "I'm blowed!" For our road was up and a staff of men Was laying NEW DRAIN PIPES there- And a whole month passed ere once again Our road was in good repair. But short was our joy, for the next day came More men A NEW MAIN to lay, Yet the Water Committee, who could blame?- And another month crept away. But again our road was re-laid all right, And horges could pass along, And the folks rejoiced at the prospect bright, And chanted a thankful song. But. it changed to a dirge-for 'twas up once more To lay the ELECTRIC WIRES, And at the department the people swore, And expressed some unkind desires. But at last 'twas done; and sighs of relief Went up from the folks around- Yet the very next day, to their woe and grief, Came the old familiar sound. Of the pick and spade as they lift the crust To lay some NEW GAS PIPES thiWe. And, Oh, how the people swore and cuss'd In the weird sulphureous air. But our roadway was made all right at last— Tho' some of us wished that fewer Were the times 'twas up—and we stared aghast When they laid down a larger SEWER. The poor old road was again made plain, And comfort once more was known, When liatig it if all was not up again For the wires for THE TELEPHONE. And scarce was it right once more when, lo, It was mauled about for the tvams- And the language was awful—so much so. There were words that resembled— Then the Highways Committee came and said: A new road there would ho ve to be; And in the Press the ratepayers read Of the Council economy. While Committees—the Paving, the Water, Gail, Tramway, and Electric, too, Compliment themselves, as each other they pass, On the wonderful things they do. But they never think they should exercise A morsel of oommon sense, By intercommuning, and so Ocvise To drive such abuses hence. And the poor ratepayer! What is the part In the farce that he has to play?— Ith: simple as dayligilt-Blees your heart !— lie has only to grin and pay H. BOSS OL-YNE (Councillor).

This is, of cour&e, all very well; and sometImes you do save a deal of time and iabour-not to say money-by adopting up-to-date method, In some cases, however, the old method still hold. its own, in spite of many- new ideas.
