1 Our London Letter. (From a Lady Correspondent). LONDON, Wednesday. The Royal Circle. Kensington Gardens have been thronged with people the last few "days waiting for a glimpse of u, T»o-,aL f pu, c.¡,J.Hi on suveial occa- sions their patience has been awarded. There will be man. similar opportunity during the next few weeks, as he little Pr nee is to be left in the care of his grandmother, whilst his par- ents go on a round of visits. On Monday King Alfsono and Queen Victoria Eugenie journeyed from London to Sanunngham, and were re- pe, ved at Wolferton statioil, by the King and Pueen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, an] Prinoes3 Victoria, and on their arrival at Sand- ringham by the Queen of Norway, Prinoo Olaf, and the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales. One of the chief features of the King's birthday celebrations will be the presentation of the Cullinan diamond, the Transvaal's gift to the King. Sir Richard Solomon, Agont-Gen- eral for the Transvaal, is to go to San gingham ti, formally present it. '"anted an English Translation. I li is well known that the King w en he is ifi resideme at Balmoral dons a kilt and a ron, ilet in ths most approved Highland fashion, bat it is qui e another matter to be abie to read the loyal messages sent to h.m by his Highland Subjects. The Gaelic tongue, no doubt, has aU the merits claimed for it by is admirers, but it has not yet penetrated Royal oiroles, and ¡he Private Secretary of his Majesty was cornp.etely non-plusse-i when the telegraphic message from Mrs Burnley Campbell, on be alf of the High- land Assoc ation Bazaar at Glasgow, came in o his hands. And really it is no great wonder, for the charms of the language were concealed in such words as "dilseachd," "beannachdan," "iarraidh," "Ghaidhealaich "<ili-fhosgladh, "Bhana-Phrionnsa," and "soirb' eacha 1." There was only one thing to be done, and in due courso Ilrs Burnley Campbell reoeived a wire expressing the King's appreciation of the mes- sage having been sent in Gaelic, but asking her, "for convenience of reply," to send an exacc equivalent in English. If the Gaelio revival goes on it will be necessary to havo an inter- preter at Court who can translate the beauties of the Celtic tongue into the homelier language of the Sassenach. Perhaps the difficulty mig t be met by appointing a younger member of the Royal House as Prince of the Highlands, with a warranty that he had maatero i the Gaelic tongue. Buckingham Palace. The King's headquarters from now until Christ- mas will be at Buckingham Palace, where the Jmprovemente which have so long been in pro- gress are at last completed. Those who knew the Palace under the old regime, when Queen Victoria used it only as a place wherein to spend unwillingly a night or two, tell me the interior is modernised and made oomfortable almost out of cooognition. Several lifts—a modern institution -to which the late Queen had an unconquerable aversion—have been installed. Bathrooms, a necessity not recognised as such during the early Victorian era, have been added in large numbers, and their Majesties' personal suites have been entirely refurnished and redecorated. The Royal Apartments. A future of tha suites of both the King and the Queen is that all the rooms have communi- oating doors, so that when all the doors are opened one looks through quite a vista of beau- tiful apartments. All the King's rooms have green as their predominating colour. His sitting-room contains some beautiful eighteenth- Century furniture, but his writing-room is severely modern and business-like, a large flat writing- table with drawers down each side, not yet hav- ing been superseded in the Royal favour by the 'American and very undeoorative roll-top desk. Queen Alexandra's suite of rooms is rather French in character. Her bedroom is panelled in old rose silk, with hangings of white satin, the great low bed surmounted by the Imperial crown. The Bitting-room is panelled in ivory silk, with gold edgings, and the. furniture and carpet is Louis XVI., while there is some beautiful Beauvais tapestry. Her Majesty's bathroom, which is quite new, and was specially designed for her, is fitted with a bath of Grecian marble, taken from quarries which had not been worked for a thousand years. earah Bernhardt and the Cripples. The Lord Mayor has a very warm sympathiser in his work on behalf of the Cr ppICd. C lldren's Fund in Madame Sarah Bernhardt, who gave a recital in thd Egyptian Hall of tne Mansion House owards the fund. She was very warmly received, and was becomingly dressed in a 1 gat brown walking dress with a ha to match. Her rendering of Victor Hugo's poem, "La F.ancee du Timbalier." was most touching. At a con- I du Tnnbalier," was most touching. At a concert iaed by "Ye Ancient Society of Cogers," t e iLord Mayor announced that he was in s giit of the sum he had set hiuiself to rai-e for his jCripples' Home Scheme, and had no doubt that beforj he left office tho W doltJ ot tu-j money ,would bo for hcoming. He expected by the early spring there would be one or two hundred O. ildren at the home as a beginning, and t.ien he hopcJ to show what may be done to cure these little ones, and to teach them a trade by wh eh they may be enabled to earn their own livings. Sir William proposes to devote the rest of uis life to the movement he has so successfully in- augurated. ,Teavheral New College. One of the finest training colleges for teachers in Europe was opened last Saturday by Lord Roscbory, Chancellor of the University of Lon- don. T e building is situated in Southamp on Rc w, -nd has been built by the London County I Council. The college will be carried on in con- nection with the University, and only those stu- dents who have matriculated will be admitted, the building is a very fine seven storied otructu: e, containing generai classrooms, art-rooms, labora- tories, gymnasium, with dressing-room and bath- rooms adjoining, and a large lecture iheatre. Therj was a very representative gather ns at the opening, among those present being Dr. Sophia Bugant, one of the members of the Education Committee. Lord Rosebery made a most interesting speee recalling the fac. that in the vicin ty of Southampton Row Mrs Gamp resided, and entertained Mrs Prig to that im- mortal tea party where the mixture in the ea- pot was not altogether what it should have been. But, as Lord Roscbery reminds us, the dis ance that intervenes between Mrs Gamp as nurse, and I the present race of nurses to whom we owe so much is not much greater than the first educa- tion grant in 1834-about the time Mrs Gamp was commemorated—and the institution which he formally opened on Saturday. Music. One of the musical treats of the year is the "Song Recital" given by Mrs K.rby Lunn, and the Bechstein Hall was crowded on ihe occasion ef her concert. She was in splendid voice, and I her rendering of the French an German songs was very fine. She was ably accompanied by Mr Percy Pitt, a brilliant pianist. It is good news to Londoners to hear that JLady Halle, the "Violin Fairy," as the German Chancellor Von Bulow has called her, is for the lutur^ to make her home in London, and will be willing to take a few advanced pup Is for fcho violin. Before leaving Berlin she received A letter from Queen Alexandra assuring her of the very hearty reception she would receive in England. To Lady Halle alone is reserved the honour of the title "violinist to the Queen." The violin which she uses in public is one pre. sented to her in 1876 by the Duke of Edinburgh, Lord Dudley, and Lord Hardweke. I L, « Stradivarius, and was at one t.me in the pos- session of Heinrioh Ernst, a great violinist, an 1 bears the da e 1709. The deat i of Joachim was a great blow to Lady Halle, as they were great friends. The audience at Covent Garden last Saturday had the pleasure of hearing Madame Tetrad ni, the new soprano singer, who achieved great sue oeas In South America. She appeared in "La Traviata." and by the en i of the first act er success in London was fully assured, and -the 13 -already ranked as a singer with Petti. Melba, and Chr stine Nilsson. Cheap Emigration Rates. •The New South Wales Government are offer- iag wonderful inducements to domestic servants to emigrate to Australia. The servant problem is puzzling the housewives there as much as it is here. For only £ 3—instead of £ 16. the i. i! third-class fare—a passage can be b.^?->i, nd the qual.ifoations necessary are by no meang 1 formidable. Health, a good character, and a I nea. appearance will pass any young girl who is anxious to make a change. The first contingent to take advantage of the greatly reduced fare consisted of 61 servants of various class s, and they are in charge of a matron appoin J,}d by the New South Wales Government, who will, on their arr val at Sydney, hand them over to the agent, who will help them to oecure suitable positions. Three other parties are arrangod, and will sail some time this month. Australia, however, is not tl.e only country w..ere there are splendid opportunities for domestic servants. I was talking to a lady from one of the Western States of America thia week, and she told me that servants cannot be had there under 25s or 30s a week, and very few of them will undertake the washing. The presen* cut- rate war between the Atlantic liners will offer great induoemonts to all those wishing to bet er themselves. The City and the Kaiser. The principal event of the coming week will be the visit ot the Kaiser and Kaiserin, who are to be in-it at Portsmouth by th) Princo of Wales, on behalf of the King. The family gathering at Saftdritigham will be followed by a meeting of Royalties at Windsor, and on the 13th inst. the Emperor will proceed to the city, where an address is to ba presented tj him. There has been some talk of a hostile demon- s.ration by the Socialists, but London does not readily lend itself to th s kind of thing. T e crowds are usually so dense that the cries of a few score dissentients are scarcely audible amid the general- enthusiasm. The general opinion seems to be tha: the reception in the metro- pol.s will be a very cordial one. Annual Exhibitions. This is the time of the year when the trade ex- hibitions are held, and during the week the Royal Agricultural Hall has been occupied by the "Sho3 and Leather Fair," and the Royal Hor- ticultural Hall by the Universal Cookery and Food Association. The former exhibition has grown until it has become thoroughly represen- tative of the machinery, raw material, and manu- factured article of the boot and shoe industry. For a time the American makers threatened to become formidable competitors, but the Britis manufacturers put in the newest machinery and modernised their patterns, and to-clay the home manufacturers fully hold their own. Th s year a new competitor has a place in the exhibition, namely, the Belgian Boot Manufacturing Ex- port Union. There is a capital display of ma- chinery, and the makers freely express the opin- ion that last year's Patents' Act will strengthen baeir position. At the Cookery and Food Exhi- bition there are 5000 entries this year against 3000 in 1906. A New Hotel. All doubt is now set at reat, concerning the building to bo erected on the site of Exeter Hall, which for so many years was the annual meeting place of the religious societies. Mr Ljons kept his own counsel for several months and all kinds of guesses were made concerning the use to wh:ch he intended to devote the half- acro of ground. At length, however, it is authoritatively announced bvat a great hotel is to be erected to contain about 450 single and double rooms, and provided with a winter garden and every modern comfort. It might be supposed that this part of London had more than enough hotel accommodation, but there is possibly room for an up-to-date hotel run upon popular lines and with reasonable charges.

Johnston presided, and referred to the great lo the Order had sustained by tho death of Mr Thcw. E. Hutchings, who had been so true a supporter to the of temperance and thrift (hear, hear). Mr W. David, of Cardiff, a member of the Board of Directors of the Order, then delivered an address, dealing chiefly with the work of the Order. incidentally giving an interesting account of the origin of Friendly Societies. The earlier meetings of such societies wero gene) ally hexl in public-diouscs, hence tha-e who were in- terested in temperance started the Independent Order of Rechabites in the year 1835. One of the oldest Rechabite tents was founded a.t Ban- gor, in 1341, and t'he present Rechabite Hall stood as a monument to the early efforts of the Rechabites in that city. He was ga.d to know that the old trustees of the hall had decided to turn it over to the present district trustees. The membership of the Order at the- end of JaBt vear was 285,000 adults and 170,000 juveniles. Th-s present fund amounted to £1,742.036. Last year the income was £442.719, and the Order paid in sick and funeral benefits £259.166, while the increase in adult membership was 10,501, and in juveniles 13,801. Referring to the Conway dis- trict, Mr David said the Order war. worth 21:- 6d for every £1 of its liabilities, and Colwvn Bav was worth 233 Id. The Rev. EHis Jones, of Bangor, then ad- dressed the meeting in Welsh, urging the churches to take more active iritercf-t in tcm- porance work, and in organisations which fur- thered the temperance cause. Mr W. J. Hill, the local secretary of the Under, ateo spoke and urged voung men and women to join the I.O.R. 0 0 Miss Bertha Booth presided at the organ.

AN ECHO OF A BURGLARY CASE.
AN ECHO OF A BURGLARY CASE. The following appeared in the Westmorland Gazette," of October 26th:—"The gentlemai' known as David Graham, who passed a stolen cheque at Ambleside, and was sent to gaol foi twelve months, at Kendal, on Friday, wab ap- parently only just finishing up a profe&sionai holiday when the police so unkindly intervened. Unless report maligns Mr Graham, he had been on the prowl all the summer, and in spite of the unfavourable weather had enjoyed sport of eoverai kinds, including burglary, in London. in Monmouthshire, in Gloucesteifehire, at Wes- ton-super-Mare, and at Colwyn Bay. It was from Coiwyn Bay that .he came to the Lake dis- trict, and was speedily caught at Ambleside. Impunity had made him audacious, or perhaps the plausibility which helped him in London only served as the ma.rk of the beast in the North. When he begins operations again he may deem it expedient to reverse his Toutc- start in the North and -fink;h up in London. That is the rogue's paradise." The prisoner was wanted in Colwyn Bay for a burglary per- petrated a.t Westwood, Old Colwyn, on August 23rd, when a quantity of silver spoons, etc., were stolen. During the hearing of the eafoe at Ken- dial. his Colwyn Bay escapade was taken into consideration, and included in his sentence, so that. he will not be brought here to take. his trial.

The Order of ls)07 when it went to the Board of Trade contained a protective clause in favour I ot tan- do.in Ü<J.nuw, w.io owou t..0 laundry, out that clause was struck out owing to the fact that t.he Board of Trado intimated that that port/on of the land was not dealt wir.h by the 1907 Or- dor. The requirements of the Board of Trade would necessitate the modification of the pro- tective clause, inasmuch as they had to take compubory powers to cquim tho laundry. The only opposition that he was aware of was that of the Coun, y Council of Denbigh, and their opposi- on was raised under a misapprehension, that a ondgj over a stream t-^vjuireu t-uengtuomng. The Order of 1907 gave that absolute protection. A NECESSARY EXTENSION. Mr Joseph Dickon, a member of the Colwyn Bay Council, said he was aware of the arrange- ments between the company and tho Council. Mr Huxtable: Is it your opinion that it would be an advantageous line?—Yes. Is it. one that is required in the interests of the district?—Yes. Continuing, witness said that his own personal views were that the line was very much needed, as Old Colwyn was a growing place. At the same time, he felt that some parts of the road should be widened, as he did not think it was wide enough for the railway. It was not enough for the railway traffic, let alone the tram- way. There was a great deal of traffic on the road. particularly in the summer. It was the only mair road. Roughly speaking, the popu- lation was about 2600. Only local trains stopped at Old Colwyn, and intending visitors to that place very often had to travel to Co!wyn Bay, and then go back by road to Old Colwyn. Mr H. A. Steward: Where tie you live, Old Colwyn or Colwyn Bay? Mr Dickon: Colwyn Bay. And you think this railway would be in the interests of Old Colwyn?—Oh, certainly. Mr Geo. Bevan, another member ot the Coun- cil, confirmed tho remarks of Mr Dickon. It was the unanimous opinion of the Council that the trams should go to Old Colwyn, and he con- sidered they would be of great benefit to tho district generally. He argued that the road was narrow, and should be widened if possible by the promoters. Mr Huxtable: But there is no stipulation to that effect. Mr Porter: I belfove in the summer time there is tremendous motor traffic along the road?— There is. The road as diiown on the plan goes past Sir Bat-Cow's property to Old Colwyn?—It does And at va.rioms points it is extremely nar- row—down to about 16ft. in nlaces. The Colwyn Bay Survev.ar: The narrowest ;>! rt lis 16". about three chains this side of tiho Marine Hotel- Mr Porter: We ooin,tended that the scheme should include the County Council as road owners- If thr-re was a sohe-me for widening, it should be on the initiative of the promoters who should' apply to the County Authority. So far as the Urban Council was oonoerned they w-eiio merely repairens of the .road. Mr Hugh Iltighof, another member of the Colwyn Bay Council, genCra.Lly confirmed the evidence ailteady given. It would, in his coinion, be a very great advantage to the wihole district if the scheme was carried out, as it would connect both ends of the district. His place of business was on the proposed route.
INO ENGINEERING DIFFICULTIES-
INO ENGINEERING DIFFICULTIES- Mr Seilon, chairman of the Company, chief engnioer, isaid that the proposed exten- sion was about a mile in lewr There weie no engineering difficulties, as the road was a good one throughout- 0, course, it would be a very great advantage if the road was wider shan it was. He had heard that the minimum width was 16ft. 8in., but iw was not aware of it. His measurement was 17ft- 5in. Tne Com- pany had entered' into no undertaking whatso- ever with rogard to the widening The liine was only going to feed, at. too expense 0: vximething between eight and ten thousand pour.dis, a district which had only about 2500 or 2600 population., and1 thef>e«iore it could never oe anything other than a leader to the main line. They had contracted1 to take their cur- rent from Llandudno for the whoie system, and rhe cost already entailed was enormous- The expense of working the line, therefore, was much more than if the £ eneratir^ station was more central. The gradients presented no difficulty, there beawg only one short length of 1 in 15- The rest of the line was normal- The callS used would be fitted with all t.he latest appliances, and they had1 to urgoliute ILUdl worse gradients on the lino from Colwyn ijny to Llandudno than on the proposed new extension. They had simply taken ooimpufcory I powers in. the application bcoauso they would not like to be left in the hands of the 'landlord to bo charged what price he liked for the land- The electrical equipment would cost something like J38500 or i>9G0U. It was only in the sumsine" that the-Company were in the hope of making any money out. of the exton- at all- They had the new line running from Llandudno to R.hos, but they did not cover the working- expenses during the most part 0: tho year, yet they were looking large- ly to the isumrnor traffic to make a return. Replying to the Commissioner, the witness said that if they had a large length of cable to feed, they had to have separate cables which were in half mile sections- It was increased to this extent tihat r if the generating station was In th middle o" the district the feeders cost £8000! but the present ones cost 20.000 for com- paratively the same puqxxse- That was the difference between having a generating station in a proper position and in a bad position. It aIm meant a igreat loss. The Commissioner; You mean a waflte of curront Witness: Ye*. Continuing, ho said that ihe had constructed lines which were more diffi- cuJt as regards -narrowness- The Commissioner would remember the lines in Stourbridge and between Wolverl tamp ton and Birmingham, and other places whore lines had1 been taken tih.rou.gh roads 15 and 16 feet wide. In reply to Mr Porter, the witness said tho road was the main road from Chester to Holy- head- Tha .roads tie mentioned previously wero not parallel roads- There were no other means of getting along the roads named unless they went round several miles. I take it you were present here wlhen terms were agreed' upon between Sir John Barlow and the Company?—I was- Are those tenma signed by Messrs Payno, Huxtable and C-o., your solicitors?—You have too doou merit in f.ront; of yon- Weil take it f'r<nt of you—I think it is -correct. Is it or is it not. Does it bear the signatures of your solicitors ?—Yes- When the draft Order came before the Board came for an extension tihe terms could go in railway was not boing carried un in INuit. of Sir John Barlow's property, and when vou ca.me for an extension, the terms could go in that?—I d'on't know that they aud that. I put it to you. as Chairman of. the Company, are you agreeable that the clause, as contained in your Draft Order, a.nd amended by your soli- citors, should go in the present Order?—I may 1 mention that, the circumstances of the case are a little different from what they were when the old Order was promoted. Mr Barlow's corner at that time was going to be a terminiis of the old line, and tha.t was the objection raised by Colonel Yorke, that it was not the terminus. The widening of the road there was originally contem.pia.ted because it was the terminus. SIR JOHN BARLOW'S ESTATE. Mr Porter: What I want to ask is: Are your Company willing that the clause should go in bo proteot Sir John Barlow and his ofltate?—I don't think there is any differenoe between us. Because you said that you took powers to compulsorily purchase the land. because you did not want to be at the mercy of any owner — Y cs. But in the clause arbitration is mentioned, and that would put matters right. There is. no difficulty if you, as Chairma.n of the Company, arc prepared to say that the clause, as agreed upon by your solicitors, should go in the pre- sent Order?—That I am not prepared to agree to at the preeent moment. I should prefer to stand by tho clause now submitted. The Chairman, at this point, intimated that they \v<r8 not dealing with the terms, but. with the claw,{) only. Mr Huxtable: The difficulty, therefore, fal's to the ground. The witness was next examined by Mr O. Lowe. Ho said he was not aware that the popu- lation of O.d Colwyn and Llysfaen was about 4000. He undomtood that there were 2600 in the district which the tramway served. He ad- mitted there were a large number of visitors in O_d Col wynin summer time. With regard to the question of widening, did you consider Mr Barlow's request to wid&n in front of hitl property a reasonable one?—No, I do not But you have agreed to do it?—Yes. Although yon consider it unrcasonable?-I gave way to Mi Barlow in the matter, because it was not a, large isum involved, and in addition that point wiics the terminus at that period. And you are prepared to do it although it is not now the terminus?—I am forced to do It. I undertook to do it before I decided that this "houki not bo the terminus. I am bound to do it, and cannot get. out of it.. Is tho ac this point 22 feet wide?— Yes. If it is desirab'e to widen that, don't you thi.nk it were desirable to widen where it is only 17ft. 6 inches?—No; I don't. Near Mr Barlow's there wan a bad corner, and his drive camc straight in the read. Do you know Wilton House?—Yes. Thero is a ourve there which is quite as dan- gerous as the one opposite Mr Barlow'b?—I did not see it. Do you a.grei3 that there is a sharp curve?— No, I do not, Continuing (his examination, the witness said that on tiae road between Wolverhampton and Birmingham there was a. footpath on each side. He kii>&vv that the footpath on the proposed route was only about where tllie road wari 17ft. in width. A great number of Llysfaen people do their slioppMig at Abergele?—I have no doubt. And tho extension would1 bring the people to this end for that purpose?-—I suppose that is what, tho Colwyn Bay Council had in their mihd. But you do not. mean to suggest it will be of advantage to Old Colwyn?—That is no part, 0: my busititees- Mr Lowe It is mine thoug1!. olosed the case for tihe Compunv- QUESTION OF ROAD WIDENING- Mr O. 15- Lowe then gave evidence. He said that whilst he should vary muoa like to see the Sine extended he very strongly objected to it being oirreod aloiag the main road unless it wa", considerably widened at allnot every point- He travelled along the road twice daily, a.nd had excellent moans of judging the amount of traffic- During the summer the road was exceedingly da rigorous. At the point where Ilesketh-road joined the main road it was very narrow, and there was also an exceedingly diangoroiiis curve at a point lower dowin- He himself bllidl eeen a great number of near escapes. Th". trafli-cgoing down the hill was not visible to the traffic coming in the oppo- site direction until within a few yards- Near the Marine Hotel, the Llama!ian-r,oad joined the main road, and at that noint is was only 17ft. 6in. wide. Again between the Vicarage and the Chuiroh there was only a very narrow footpath, and tihe road was aho narrow. There was considerable traffic in the village of Old Colwyn, near the Plough Hotel there was a row of ootta.^es which jutted out into the road, thus making .it narrow- There was also very sharp curve near the Queen's Hotel. Vvthilsf anxious to see tihe railway, he consider- ed that the roadway should be widened by .someone. He concluded by savin? that Old Colwyn was growing as much, if mot qudoker than Colwyn Bay. Replying to Mir Iluxtable, Mr Lowe said that there were liouseis ail along the road freer) tho lannd'ry to the Marine Hotel. He was a member tfhe Oolwyn Bay Council, and re- presented Old Colwyn on that body- He bo- lieved that a bargain was come to between the Company and t.hs Council, but he was not. pre- sent at the mectijig. He had always under- stood that there was an understanding as to the widening of the road- Am I wrong in saying that OldColwyn made a stipulation in regard to their astent?—I bc- lieve they did. Was it. not that the line was to be extended to Old Colwyn?—Yes, on certain conditions. That- is to say Old COWYll wanted the line?— Provided the road was widened. As a resident and ratepayer I am anxious to see the line. There is an agreement, it; there not?—Yes. Ifi there anything about widening in it?—Not that I am aware of. At any .rate, the bargain between the parties does not include any wideningis. Old Colwyi. did not want the railway unless they got the widening?—I think you ma.y take it that the simple reason is that it is dangerous, and not because we do not want the railway. OLD COLWYN'S PREFERENCE. Mr 1). O. WiLiams, another representative of Ota Colwyn on the Urban Council, corro- borated Mr Lowe. He admitted there was no- thing in tho a-greemont as to the widening, but it was an lUldeiHood thing in the Council Cham- ber. Most unfortunately they had to admit, the dilemma they were in. He might say with re- gard to Old Oolwyn that they would prefer to be without. the nlilwav than have it on this very narrow roadway, a.- there were several very dangerous points the watershed should be taken into considen>- tion, and that meant another 1200 people, in addition to the 2600 mentioned. The Chief Constable of the County had called attention to the dangerous state of the road with regard t( the regulating of the motor traffic in connection with the contributions by the county towards rhe maintenance of the roads. In Denbigh i was £66 per mile; Abergele, £76; Llangolien £55; Ruthin., £60; and Llanrwst, £79; and the contribution of Colwyn Bay came to £224. Thai showed that this part was unique in the whole county. Tho roads were not really intended for money-making, but for the convenience o the public. The Chairman: I am-afraid you are making ¡1 epeech now (laughter). Q Continuing, Mr Williams said they would surely drive invalids away if the tramwaw monopolised the roadways. The Chairman: You didn't make this speech in the Council, did you? Mr Wrliams: Why should the County Coun- cil and the District Council go to this expense for these gentlemen, who wish to come on the road? The Company ought to make a contri- bution for widening the read. Replying to the- Commii?sioneir, Mr Selion said' tihat when the Order wa.s passed the plan would be laid before the road authority as well as the Board of Trade- Tho Comim.iasioiitor: What kind of plan would you lay before them. Mr Seilon That I have not taken into con •sideration. It would be the one that would give me the ciuvi.pest tramway tihat I oou'ld re- commend- Apart that it would be difficult to pro- duce a satisfactory plan ?—I agree. I oannot afford to widen, and lit was. not part oi the bargain- I know that there have been nego- tiations between the county an-J. the local Council witih regard to tho wideuing of this road, and if tthey decided to db it I am quite prenared to suggest to the directors that a contribution be made. Mr J. W. Raynes, a member of the Conway Rural District Council, supported both Mr Lowo and Mr D. 0- Willia.mc,. The # Chainman 9aod his fellow Commissioner and himadf were satisfied that there -were places where the might be widened- They adjourned t'lie decision for the present in view of wihat Mr Seilon said as to the po«?ibi3ity of arrangements beIng made with the view of effecting these impnovomen'a In the mean- time they would go and see the road, so as to be able to deal any further matters (ap- plause)-

On Wednesday afternoon the members of the Llandudno branoh of the Young HelpW League in connection witni Dr. Bavnardo's Homes successful sala of work in the Town Hall, Llandudno, when a largo number aissonifoled- THE OPENING CEREMONY. Tho opening oerotnony was parfonned by Mr William Bakor, M.A-, U.B., director oc tihe Homos, supported on the platform by Mr S.

Chan troy said 'he couiciidored it a great honour to bo able to ,iay a few words on behalf of such a good oawse a, Dr. Barnardo's Homes- Dr. Hamardo had been one of the greatest Englishmon of recent years, and a true typo of a Uhristian man. Some of them might hardly realise the true magnitude of the oonoenn Dr. Barniurdo ihad initiated, and to trv and show its fcize he would quote same fig-uras from last yeiar'a report. In 1906 there iiad been 7809 children permanently kept, and 18,000 tem- porarily at a oost of £ 2000. 134 boys and 132 g'irll? had left For Canada during the year, under the auspices of the Home. Since the Homes had been established no less than 27,000 children had been received. In 1906 the dona- tions to the Homes had' amounted to £200,000, w.hich was an advance cif £ 16,000 on 1905. In introducing1 Mr Baker, who had been called to follow in Dr. Barnajrdo's footsteps- Mr Chan- t ey said that. Mr Baker, who had been called lo follow in Dr. Barnrt.rdo's footsteps, Mr Chan- trey said that Mr Baker had given up a good practice as a barrister to tak.e u tine work —(applause),—and he thought that Mr Baker was the ri lit man in the iright "lace (applause). Mr William Baker, in the caureo of his re- marksi. said he had been on tfhe committee of Dr. Barnard-o'" Homes for 20 years, and, there- fore, he contended the work was not altogether new to him. He had joiinod on the same day as Mr Howard Williams- The jLoun-fr HeLpe" i League was one or the moat successful organi- flutiois evor star tod by Dr. Barnardo. The first year the League had cost £ 2000; the sec- ond it 'had paid ifor itself, and' now it was in- creasing yearly- That year 4000 now members had jouned. and he hopod that lit would in- crea".3 in Llandudno, though at present, it only numbered 27. The Young uo-l pens' League was chiefly interested in their emigrants, Hos- pitals and Homes for Incurables. No desti- tute child was refused admittance to tiheiir ■riTciies. Some children, who had been thought incurable, had been cursd, and .sent- out into the world to earn their livirisr- They bad homes at Binkclale, Bradford, and Tunbridge Wolls. He had reoeived a report Irom his agent in Canada, who had crossed the Atlantic no less than 63 times in tihe interests of the Homes, and he said that out of ail the emigrants the Homes sent out only about 2 per cent, went wrong- They had boyis in all the different pi-ofeSsio-ns there.
