ABERGELE. A "SMOKER."—A smoking concert was held at the Ship Cafe on Friday evening, presided over by Mr Moss Jones. The room was literally packed, and the audience had a great treat. The following programme was rendered:—Piano- forte solo, Mr G. T. Morgan; song, "Castiau Gwraig," Mr Tom R. Jones; song, "Boreu'r Trydydd Dydd," Mr T. Llewelyn Jones; song, "Good old Dutch," Mr Ben Oybi Williams (en- cored); song, "Gwlad yr Eisteddfodiu" Mr Robt. Roberts (encored); song, "Calan Giuif," Coun- cillor W. P. Morris (encored); song, Shall I ba an Angol, Daddy?" Mr Moss Jones (encored); recitation, "Pethau'r Bardd," Mr J. R. Ellis; pianoforte solo, "The Merry Widow," Mr G. T. Morgan (encored); song, "And the verdict was," Mr T. II. Owain-Jones (enoored); recitation, "Tori Priouas," Mr T. Williams, Pensarn; song, "Ein Hanwyl Wlad," Mr Ben Cybi Williams; song, "Upidee," Mr T. IT. Owain-Jones. On the motion of Mr T. Samuel, seconded by Mr J. R. Ellis, all those who had contributed to- wards the success of the evening were accorded a hearty vote of thanks. A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT. On Thursday evening, the musical and drama- tic entertainment recently given in Colwyn Bay, and promoted by the Hon. Mrs Brodrick, was repeated in the Church House here. The same vocalists, etc., took part, viz.: the Misses Gladys Horsford, Vanda Charlton, Bronwen Charlton, and S. Brownrigg, and Messrs Leopold Stewart Seton Karr, Richard Jack, and Edward Giles (accompanist). The same songs were set down for the various singers and violinist as at the Kinmel concert, fully criticised in last week's "Pioneer," so that it is unnecessary to further comment thereon. Mr Stewart, on this occasion, however, was able to sing his songs, and he acquitted himself very well. He was fortunate in the selection of songa —every one made a hit. And, although there is just a little still to be desired in his artiteulation and enunciation, he puts a good deal of char- acter in his singing, and his work is much en- joyed. His voice is not strong, but melodious. In the concerted pieces it was slightly weak, but that was not his fault. The party of four, five, and six were most fortunate in their selection of pieces, and, in every instance, sang Sullivan's captivating music. I have already hinted, in re- gard to Mr Stewart, that these pieces, although well sung, lost somewhat in balance of tone-a fault which can be remedied with care. I must protest against the changing of items set down. Some of the numbers sung could not be followed by the audience, which, therefore, lost a little interest in the singing. The duologue, "Cross questions and crooked answers," was much enjoyed, both ladies-Miss V. Charlton and Miss B. Charlton-acting with much zest. The latter was, however, truest to nature ita her efforts. The former over-did her part. With more restraint (even for a "fussy and over-dressed" lady) the acting will be more effec- tive. The Vicar (the Rev. T. Jones) proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs Brodrick, for her kindly thought in promoting the entertainment, the ob- ject of which was to acquire more glebe land for the benefice, and lie coupled the names of the ladies and gentlemen who had taken part in the evening's performance.—P; E.

There were three services, viz., Holy Communion at 8 a.m., service and sermon at 3 p.m. (in English), and evensong and sermon at 6.45 p.m. The special preacher was the Rev. B. Jones, rector of Pcnmachno. The church was crowded, especially at the evening service, and all listened with great attention to the excellent sermons. Special psalms and har- vest hymns were well sung, and the anthem. "Blessed is he that considereth the poor" (Owain Alaw), was very heartily rendered by the choir, under the conductorship of Mr Davies, the choirmaster. Mr Harold Williams presided at the organ. The sacred edifice was tastefully decorated. Those chiefly concerned in the work were: Mrs Dr. Jones, Master Oscar Jones, Mrs Gordon, Miss Davies (Post Office), Mrs Edwards (National School), Miss Maggie Davies (Rose Hill), Miss Davies (Hafodygam), Mrs Edwards (Brow Llan), Mrs Williams (police station), and Mrs Roberts (School House). The scholars of the National School also gave much assistance. The Rector (the Rev. E. Thomas) entertained the clergy and [ othen to tea and supper at the Rectory.

Sergeant Jelly, now ,'ver, has furlough lease until the 15th of this mutth, so that no appointment can be officially an- nounced until after that date. In the meantime, Colour-Sergeant-Instructor Henshaw, of the ]st King's Shropshire Light Infantry, has been tfin- porarily attached to the company, in succession to Colour-Sergeant-Instructor Brown, Rhyl, who was in charge for a short time.

The police were quickly apprised of the loss, and they im- mediately set to work. They are now in posses- sion of a clue which is being closely foHowed up, and which is expected to materialise shorUy. TEAM FOR SATURDAY.—Consequent upon their success on Saturday last against Llanrwst, the cup-tie game against Bagillt on the Rhes Fields, on Saturday, will be entered into witli better heart by the Colwyn Bay team. It will be remembered that a draw was the result of the meeting at Bagillt a fortnight ago, thus necessitating a replay. The team chosen to do duty are:—C. HaJlwpod, Goal; H. Tonkin and 0. E. Wil- liams, bacis; E. Griffiths, T. Wcllings, R. Rowlands, halves; Moss Jones, J. T. Owen, T. McCann (eapt.), W. Parry, and J. Ll. Owen forwards.

CANADA THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY —One of the most interesting forthcoming events is a lectume to be given next month by the lliw. J. B. Wer, B.A., of Winnipeg', in oormeotkxn wa&> the Cfturiatmaa gathering of the Enghsji Baptists. Mr Wormoketr is tibe British representative in London d the Baptist | Convention of Western Canada., which includes BritWh Columbia, Alberta, Saskatoiiewian, and Manitoba- He is a typical Canadian in physique and manner, and, as one who has been bred and born in the western half of tine Domi- nion, what he will have to say on "Canada, the land of opportunity, or the story of tfco western •wdds" will be of the greatest interest, particu- larly now that so many have either left or are leaving the district for Canada. THE NATIONALISATION OF RAIL- WAYS.—The first meeting of the session in con- nection with the Colwyn Bay and District Liberal Association was held in the Association Rooms, Sea View-crescent, on Friday evening, when Coun- cillor Hugh Hughes presided.

Crompton, L. M. Burrell, S. Glynne Jones, David Greenfield, Thos. Roberts, and T. J. Dowell took part. On a division, the meeting was found to be unanimous- ly in favour of the nationalisation of railways. On the proposition of Mr Hugh Owen, votes of thanks were accorded the Chairman and Mr Coul- ter. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLWYN BAY AND LLANDUDNO.—A Colwyn Bay fur- nisher sued a Colwyn Bay lodging-house keeper before the Registrar, at the Llandudno County Court, on Thursday, for the recovery of £10 for furniture supplied. The Registrar: How can she pay? Plaintiff: JE1 a month, sir. Mr Francis Nunn (Messrs Nunn and Co., Colwyn Bay), who was for the plaintiff, remarked that the defen- dant had private means as well as her income from her lodging-house. The Registrar: How much? Plaintiff: Really, I don't know, but she told me when she contracted the debt that she had private means. The Registrar: But it is winter now, and I question very much whether people of this kind can pay £1 per month at this time of the year. Mr Nunn: Oh, but we, at Colwyn Bay, are not like you at Llandudno, sir; we have people coming there in winter (laughter). Whether this retort influenced the learned Registrar or not, it is a fact that he made an order for navment at the rate of £ 1 per month. SOCIAL.—In order to celebrate the formation of a Literary and Dorcas Society, in connection with Rhiw-road Mission Chapel, which was re- cently acknowledged formally by the Vale of Conway C.M.

Salis- bury, whilst Miss Pugh was in charge of a gramophone, on which a number of records were played. Other members who took part were Messrs Francis Hughes, John Lloyd, Fred Grif- fiths, John Davies, R. P. Bowen Hugh Roberts, H. Owen, Miss James, and Miss Davies. Mr Isaac Parry Is the secretary of the Society, and in the course of the evening he enrolled 50 mem- bers.

Stanley, the explorer, and inasmuch as the Rev. Mr Hughes was in Africa at the time Stanley journeyed there, met and accompanied him, his observations should prove interesting. Other lectures are soon to follow. For instance, Dr. Spinther Janes, Llandudno, will speak on "Cynddelw,"

The monthly meeting of the Colwyn Bay and Dis- trict Education Committee wad held in the Council Chambere, Colwyu Bay, yesterday afternoon. The Rev. John Edwards (chairman), presided, and in addition there were present, Messrs H. E. PritohaM, E. H. Millward, Abergele; Rev. Wm. Hughes, Colwyn Bay; Mrs J. Berth Jones, Mrs T. M.

A letter was read from Mr Walter D. Wiles, County Architect, concerning the purchase of the vacant land in Rhiw-road, for further school extr-r.fion. and stating that the Education Committee were piopai-ed to receive suggestions on the question. The Chairman said they had spent some thousands on school extensions, and he thought they had better wait until they knew wh-r-re they were. Rev. Wm. Hughes Have we plenty of accommodation now ? Chairman We don't know. Continuing, he said the Education Committee's suggestion seemed strango, having regard for the fact the purchase of that property was exactly what they (the local authority) wanted to do some twelve months ago. VISITORS' REPORT. Whilst on the question of visitors reports, the clerk said he had issued eleven report sheets, and out of these, four bad come in. The matter had to be con- sidered once a quarter, and the various secretaries had been written to to that eiffect. Only a week remained, and if they were not marked it would jeopardise the grants. In reply to Mrs J. Berth Jones, the clerk said visitors were supposed to check the registers. The Chairman said he understood that the clerk was in the habit of checking the registers, and they felt he ought to continue to do so aj he was a paid official. The Clerk said several members had taken it out of his hands and arranged to do it quarterly. TROFARTH SCHOOL. The Chairman rem.arked that the Rev. Thos. Roberts had created quite a commotion at Trofarth by recom- mending the expenditure of £ 40. He (the chairman), and the clerk had passed the necessary alterations, thinking they would only cost about £5. From an es- timate that had been received the work would cost 940. )at."))"inctnwithicir. s (-v; ti ldihmtrad rado-io It was decided that the chairman, Rev. Thos. Roberts, and the clerk visit the school again, and report at a later meeting. SALARY. Mr J. Ellin Williams, of the Conway-road Board School, made an application for an increase of salary, but it was decided to defer the matter until March. PIANO TUNING. Mr Wadsworth, of Rhyl, the present holder of the con- tract for the tuning of school pianos, wrote requesting that his contract be continued.

Wynne, of the Conway-road Board School, has received an appointment at Prestatyn, so that shortly he would be leaving Colwyn Bay.

CORRESPONDENCE. THE COLWYN BAY WOODS. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer."). Sir,-With the view of meeting the distress arising from unemployment in the winter, would it not be well if our Council were to have the large timber trees in the Woods felled, and have more paths made? The sale of the valuable tim- ber would go a long way towards covering the cost of the work, if it would not quite meet it. At the same time,young fir trees and pines mifjht be planted in the Woods, and elsewhere. This kind of tree would greatly add to the beauty of the town by its perennial verdure, and to the salubrity of the district by its healing aroma. Deciduous trees may be beautiful, but the exhalations of the dead leaves in autumn are very trying to weak lungs, and the wide spreading roots are a nuisance and may become a danger, Firs and pines are not liable to these objec- tions, and in thirty years or less they would have a ready sale as timber. Hoping these suggestions will be considered in the proper qua.rter.-I am, etc., A RATEPAYER. Colwyn Bay, November 2nd, 1908.

WISE COUNSELS. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer."). Sir,—The oordial reception which the "Chil- dren's Bill" has met with, and the warm support given by all sections of the House of Commois to it, leads me to suggest that the press sh),uli set apart a "Children's Column" for boys and girls, whose plastic mind and memory are so re- ceptive in youth. The children, in their j'io!i. or, and attending school, will be the men and women —the fathers and mothera-of future generations. Place instruction within their reach, and let each one, boy and girl, act upon King Solomon's wise advice, "Take fast hold of instruction: let her not go; keep her, for she is thy life" (Proverbs iv. 13). I prefer the word "instruction," so fre- quently used in Scripture, to "education," a modern word now so familiar in our mouths and ears, but it has no place whatever in the Holy Bible.-I am, etc., ELLIS LEVER. Colwyn Bay, November 2nd, 1908.

DEATH OF MRS. LLOYD* ROBERTS, COLWYN BAY. With tragic suddenness the death took place to- day week of Mrs Lloyd Roberts, wife of Dr. jfr Lloyd Roberts, of "Llarmerch," Ellesmere-rcad^ Coiwyn Bay, medical officer of health to the Stf* Asaph (Flint) Rural District Council and othelf authorities. The deceased, who was 59 years of age, got ull apparently in robust health on Thursday marry- ing, and, after breakfast, proceeded about he* domestic duties as usual. She casually remarked that she suffered from a trifling pain in tho chest, but as she appeared to treat the matter, very lightly little attention was paid to it. By the afternoon, however, the diseaso had developed alarmingly, and Drs. Nuttall and Mariette wero summoned, but, despite the best of their skill and the most devoted attention of her husband# daughters and assistants, she passed away abocit 4 p.m. Mrs Lloyd Roberts was the eldest daughter at the late Mr J. Parry Jones, of Plas Clough, De bigh, by his first wife, and sister to the Towtx Clerk of Denbigh (Mr J. Parry Jones). "U aA obtrusive, kindly and generous in character, shtf had won hoats of friends at Denbigh, where she lived for years after her marriage, and at Colwytf Bay, where the family have resided during tho past eight years. A devoted Chureli-womarkf she rendered much valuable service to thfi Churches at Denbigh and Colwyn Bay. At the Mission Church of Colwyn Bay she had beefl particularly prominent, and, as the Vicar (Iter. Canon Roberts) remarked when the foundation stone of the new Mission Church was laid off Monday, there were few who would have been more genuinely concerned over that ceremony than the deceased had she lived to take part ipi it. With most of the Church and charitable or- ganisations of the town she was closely and aOJ" tivelv associated, and in many other ways she did as much as she could to ameliorate the loi of her less fortunate fellow-beings. Profound sympathy prevails at Colwyn Bay and Denbigh with Dr. Lloyd Roberts and the twOi daughters in their sad and sudden bereavement. THE FUNERAL. The funeral took place on Saturday, the body being interred in the burial ground attached to Llanddulas Church. There was a short service at Llannerch, conducted by the Vicar (Canoii Roberts), followed by another at the Missioii Church, which was crowded with relatives and friends. Canon Roberts again officiated. The cortege then proceeded to Llanddulas, the chief mourners being: 1st carriage, Dr. J. Lloyd Ro- berts (husband), Miss Lloyd Roberts and Mis8 Ruth Lloyd Roberts (daughters), and Mr J., Parry Jones, Town Clerk of Denbigh (brother); 2nd carriage—Mrs Parry Jones, Miss Roberta and Miss Shantio Roberts (sisters-in-law), and Canon Roberts; 3rd carriage—Miss Bee Roberts (sister-in-law), and Mrs Wynne Edwards, of Nantglyn (sister-in-law). At Llanddulas Church the service was conducted by the Rev. R. J. Roberts, rector of Hopesajy, (brother-in-law to the deceased), Canon Roberta and the Rev. J. H. Thomas, curate of Llanddu- las, the committal prayer being pronounced by the Rector of Hopesay.

and Rev. T. Frimstone, Colwyn, on "Old Re- ligions of Wales." TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION.-The Col- wyn Temperance Association was formed last week. It was announced there might be some people outside the pale of chapel and church who would join such movement, if it could be formed on unsectarian lines. An active committee was elected, while the officials appointed were: Mr Lloyd, of Rhuddlan, president; Mr James Wil- liams, Salop House, vice-president; Mr Robert Evans, Berwynfa, secretary; end W. Parry, Grimsby House, treasurer. The inaugurative meeting was held last Sunday evening at tht Welsh Wesleyan Chapel, when speeches were de- livered by the Revs. Penllyn Jones, Lewis Wil- liams, and Rev. T. Frimstone. An excellent solo was rendered by Miss Owen, Colwyn View, and 56 enrolled themselves forthwith as members. THE MOTOR-CAR ACCIDENT. No sooner was the motor-car accident to Mr Frederibk Daly reported last week than the Hon. Mrs Laurence Brodrick, with characteristic thoughtfulness, announced a special concert on his behalf. The entertainment was held on Fri- day afternoon, in the Assembly Rooms, Old Col- wyn, and, though the public had only one whole day's notice of the proceedings, there was an en- couraging attendance, the front seats being par- ticularly well patronised. The programme, which had been arranged by Mrs Brodrick, was sus- tained by the artistes who had given so much satisfaction at Colwyn Bay, Abergele, and Old Colwyn during the previous few days—Miss Gladys Horsford (soprano), Miss Charlton (con- tralto), Miss Brownrigg (violin), Mr Leopold Stewart (tenor), Mr R. Jack and Mr Seton-Karr (baritones), and Miss Charlton and Mr E. Giles (piano). The cordial manner in which each item was received testified to the excellence of the entertainment. During the interval, Mrs Brod- rick made the gratifying announcement that Mr Daly was progressing as well as could be expected under the circumstances, and added that about JM would be handed over to him as a result of the concert, supplemented by donations.
