ICoronation Day in
Newyddion
Dyfynnu

Coronation Day in North Wales. Districts Celebrate with Mixed Feelings. Sorrow and Joy Side by Side. CORONATION day dawned like its predeces- sors, perfect in every way. A powerful sun, shining from an azure sky unflecked by a single cloud, blazed down with tropical fierceness. It was summer at last; everything shone with bright radiance-radiance that only served to accentuate the anxiety and gloom that shadowed forth upon the land. His Majesty was to have been crowned King that day; but, Providence deemed otherwise, and when Providence enters into the game, even kings have to bow before the decree. Now, our beloved Monarch lay, probably upon his deathbed, stricken by a dangerous disease, which, as it turns out, developed so quickly that the physicians, who had adopted every device to enable his Majesty to get through the Coronation, paused almost at the last minute and decided not to take any risks. Theirs was an awful responsibility. To postpone the Coronation upon which the whole world hung expectantly, seemed absolutely out of the question, when what it might entail to thousands of people, was taken into consideration. But the life of the King was too sacred to play with, and the inevitable operation was performed. How it was performed, and the bewilderment which fell upon the people of this country when the news spread, is now a matter of history. Never since the seventies, when, as Prince of Wales, he was on the brink of the grave, has the nation been in a state of greater anxiety. Day by day we exhibited the sick room bulletins at our Head Office in Colwyn Bay, and the fervent anxiety with which they were scanned morning, noon, and night, proved the mighty unrest felt by the people of the country. Although the King is now out of danger, his people will not be satisfied until he gets out, and greets them once again with his genial and winning smile. The Celebrations. The official statement that the King hoped the country celebrations would be proceeded with, threw many a committee into a state of uncertainty, and the result of the deliberations were responsible for some curious issues. In several towns not a glimpse of bunt- ing could be seen, and the picture of crowds wending their way reverently to church amid a quiet, almost Sabbatarian, was quite a contrast to the scenes of gaiety and revelty which was taking place, for instance, at Llandudno, Bettws-y-coed, and Llanrwst, where the original programmes were almost carried out in their entirety. Royal salutes were fired; beautiful decora- tions adorned the streets patriotic singing filled the air fancy dress processions, and air the attendant picturesque effects of a carnival were strongly manifested. In the majority of cases, the celebrations were confined to treating the old women and children, and the holding of interces- sion services, as at Rhyl and Colwyn Bay. The full service of trains was put on, the orders for Sunday running being can- celled at the last moment. But, they practically ran empty. People stayed at home their anxiety was too strong, and in church and chapel they offered up fervent prayers for the recovery of King Edward. Some of the services were extremely affecting; the clergy laboured under great emotion during their sermons, and as "God Save the King" was sung with feelings strained almost to painful tension, tears were freely shed. The occasion will always be a memor- able one. The celebrations were continued in a lesser form on Friday, and the favourable nature of the King's bulletins invested the participants with lighter hearts than they possessed on Thursday.

ABERGELE. The Coronation festivities, including the children's tea, old folks' dinner, sports and bonfire, have been postponed. On Thursday last, the town had quite a deserted appearance. During the day there was a large efflux of residents to the neigh- bouring villages where, in most instances, the festivities were carried out as originally arranged. On Thursday evening, through the generosity of Captain Jones, the Volunteers and Fire Brigade were entertained to dinner at the Bee Hotel. An intercession service was held at St Michael's Church. During the day the Moss Mock Band paraded the streets, causing much amusement. The action of the committee in postponing the festivities is cause for much comment.

BETTW5 (ABERGELE). In the morning a special service was held by the Bettws Free "Churches at the C.M Chapel, when the Revs O. Foulkes and O. Vaughan Jones, '7 addressed the meeting. The Hallelujah Chorus was impressively sung by the choir under the con- ductorship of Mr Hugh Jones, Bodowen. Service was also held in the Parish Church, when the Rev E. Lodwick Ellis took part. At 3 o'clock tea was provided for all the inhabitants of the Parish by the Bettws Parish Council, at the National School, and about 312 were catered for. The National Anthem and other tunes were nicely sung by the children f the parish and the audience. A telegram of good wishes was received from the Hon. Mrs Brodrick. Mr D. Hughes, Bradford House, Bettws, was the caterer, and his arrangements reflected credit on his firm. After tea a few sports were arranged. The Rev O. Vaughan Jones, Chairman of the Bettws Parish Council, writes contradicting the statement made in our last issue, that the Parish Council made all the arrangements for the local festivities. What the Council really did was to provide a treat for the children and old people. The rest of the rejoicings were organised by other residents.

BANGOR. The celebrations intended for Coronation-day at Bangor were curtailed. Thursday was ob- served as a general holiday throughout the town, and the publicans generally readily responded to an appeal to close their houses as on Christ- mas-day. In the morning largely attended in- tercessory services were held in Bangor Cathedral and in the Tabernacle Chapel, the latter being under the auspices of the Free Churches. The members of the Bangor Com- panies 1st Cheshire and Carnarvonshire Artill- ery Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Savage, attended the Cathedral service, at which the Dean, Canon Fairfield, and Minor Canon Williams officiated. In the afternoon the chil- dren attending the elementary schools were served with tea at their respective schools, and Coronation mugs and books were distributed amongst them as a memento of the occasion. There were no decorative displays. In the distric Friday was observed as a general holiday, all the places of business being closed.

BETTWS=Y-COED. Although other towns and villages in North Wales decided to abandon their festivities, owing to the lamentable illness of the King, Bettws proceeded with its engagements. Ere people were early astir loud' cannons boomed forth, announcing that the day was one of exceptional "I y interest to the villagers; and a great number of people from Llanrwst patronised the enterprise, and participated in the day's events. The chief attraction was the engagement of the Rochdale Prize Band (winners at the Crystal Palace Contest, 1901), under the conductorship of Mr J. Thompson, whose repertoire of music is a most extensive one, and the resonant and beautiful strains heard through the day were greatly admired. The village was beautifully de- corated, and among the buildings so adorned were the Pont-y-Pair Hotel, Llugwy Cottage, Tan-Ian Temperance Hotel, and others. At 12.30 p.m. the children assembled in the field close to the station, and received medals and flages for the procession. A Pretty Sight. At one o'clock one of the prettiest sights perhaps seen in Bettws was witnessed. Mounted on a magnificent steed was a most realistic "Britannia," charmingly repre- sented by Miss Evans, of the Glan Aber Hotel, and at her side was the representation of a Hussar by Mr David Pritchard. Then followed the famous band playing the inspiriting march, "The Royal Ensign." Over 50 members of the Llugwy Lodge of Oddfellows in their blue and red regalia also joined the procession. Pre- ceding the Oddfellows was an attractive and significant representation of our recent troubles in South Africa. Two boys, the Masters Henry and Idwal Parry-sons of Mr Parry, Pendyffryn, were dressed as Lord Kitchener and De Wet, and between them carried a banner with the words "Peace at Last." Quite a number of the coaches were admirably decorated, whilst other vehicles had received similar attention, and bore interesting representations. The procession dis- persed at the beautifully erected and decorated entrance to the field. The following prizes were awarded Best decorated vehicle, brake, char-a- banc, or coach, lurry, and carriage I, Royal Oak, Beddgelert, coach; 2, Glan Aber; 3, Royal Oak, Llanberis, coach. For cycle: I, Katie Hughes; 2, Florie Evans; 3, Maggie Jones. Hackney carriage: I, Glan Aber, Mr Adlington, driver; 2, Mrs Hughes, Willoughby House; 3, Glan Aber, driver, Richard Jones. The May- pole dances were tastefully arranged and well executed by the children, reflecting much credit upon the teachers, Misses Hey and Williams. A grand display of fireworks completed a thorough and most successful day's enjoyment, carried out by an efficient committee of influential local gentlemen. Sports' Results.

BLAENAU FESTINIOG. Consternation was felt on the. receipt of the sad news of the King's illness in this populous dis- trict, and the quarrymen. were sadly disap- apointed, as their preparations had been most extensive. The Executive Committee was sum- moned at once, and it was decided to wire to the King expressing th.e deep sorrow of the 'Inhabi- tants and their sympathy, with their fervent prayer for his Majesty's speedy recovery. Each quarryman was to be presented with 5s for the day and all the quarries to stop working, but orders were given that no stoppage of work would be allowed. The committee decided to abandon the celebrations entirely, with the ex- ception of the treat to the school children. Tea was served to 2,800 children at their respective schools, and there was a grand procession.
CARNARVON.

CARNARVON. Many preparations were made at Carnarvon for a worthy celebration of the auspicious event. The actual festivities were, however, much shorn of their splendour and gaiety by their 'general consciousness that, though the King wished them to proceed, they were hardly in keeping with the actual circumstances in which the kingdom found itself placed by his Majesty's illness. On Thursday the observance began with a num- ber of public prayer meetings in both church and chapel. The four Nonconformist denominations united in holding Sheirs at Moriah, the largest chapel in North Wales. These meetings were in every instance intercessory. There was a parade of the Artillery and Rifle Volunteers with their respected bands, together with the Church Boys' Brigade, all of whom attended the special service at Christ Church. This was conducted by the Rev. D. Alban Lloyd, a short address being delivered by the Rev. Lloyd Roberts. Psalm xx. was sung, together with the hymns "Thy way, not mine, 0 Lord," "God moves in a mysterious way," and "Lead, kindly light." After the bless- ing the National Anthem was sung. In Castle Square the Mayor presented medals on behalf of the town to three volunteers just returned from South Africa, and South African clasps for services at Natal, Orange River Colony, and the Transvaal were presented to three others. In the afternoon the children came in for their share, a tea party being held in the Pavilion, in which 2,000 children participated. Simultaneous- ly with the tea party in the Pavilion there was a meat tea for 300 aged poor at the Guild Hall, and at each the Mayor and Mayoress put in an appearance. In the evening a fancy dress pro- cession of cyclists, in which over a hundred took part, and headed by the band of the 3rd Volunteer Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, pro- ceeded through the principal streets from the Victoria Drill Hall to the Pavilion, their pro- gress being watched by the crowds lining vhe streets. On the arrival of the procession at the Pavilion a grand carnival was inaugurated, and a number of competitions in hat trimming, nail driving, ping pong, etc., took place. Prizes were also awarded for the best comic costume, the neatest costume, the best decorated machine, the best original costume, etc., there being separate competitions in these for ladies and gentlemen.

■—o COLWYN BAY. Colwyn Bay and the Coronation Festivities. Meeting of the Committee. Future Action Discussed. A special meeting of the Coronation Festivities Committee was held on Friday evening. The Rev W. Hughes presided, and there was a good attend- ance of members. The Chairman remarked that they could con- gratulate themselves upon the manner in which Thursday was spent in Colwyn Bay, and he felt sure that they all rejoiced at the good progress made by the King. they hoped to hear soon of his recovery, and they looked forward to having a grand celebration later on. The Chairman re- ferred to what had occurred in other towns-how riots had taken place because the festivities had been abandoned. They had heard of some un- pleasant things having taken place at Old Colwyn. He was glad that they in Colwyn Bay had managed their proceedings without anything of that happening. They had done the best and the wisest thing in postponing the celebrations. They had come together to decide what to do about the future. The King was happily progressing, and he thought it would be wiser to leave everything as it stood until the Coronation day. Mr Taylor was of opinion that it was rather pre- mature to decide anything yet. Mr Thos. Roberts suggested that the matter be left tor a week or so. Mr W. Jones remarked he had heard that it was possible to alter the date on the mugs for the children. Harmonious Working. Mr W. Davies said he had understood that was so, but later he had been told that it was impossible. The Rev Thos. Parry pointed out that everything had passed off very well on Thursday in Colwyn Bay. If it was possible to alter the date on the mugs, it would be best to defer the presenting of the same until the proper time. When that time came, the whole programme which they had arranged could be carried out The committee had worked hard and harmoniously, and he had no doubt the same committee would arrange a glor- ious celebration later on. The Chairman said he was glad that no one had lost his head in Colwyn Bay with regard to this matter, and that no ill feeling was shown at the meeting on Wednesday. He was glad that they had been working so well together. Mr George Parry said he wished to support what Mr Thos. Parry had said. He thought it would be wise to adjourn for a week. By that time the committee would have had the accounts in. When- ever the Coronation would take place—and he hoped that would be soon—Colwyn Bay would celebrate the event with as much enthusiasm as it would have shown on Thursday. He was sorry the children had been disappointed. With regard to the mugs, he thought they would be very precious souvenirs of the occasion, and the altered date could be painted on. He begged to move that they present the mugs and carry out the in- tended programme when the proper time arrived. Mr Taylor having seconded this motion, it was carried unanimously. The Accounts. The Chairman then referred to the accounts. The committee had undertaken to see the trades- men who had been asked to supply the food, etc., and to make all arrangements with them. He had no doubt that the matter was being attended to, and that the accounts would be as small as possible. It was decided to pay the sum of £ 6 10s. to the Penrhynside Band, this being the amount agreed upon in return for their services. Continued on Next Page.

CAERWYS. The celebration at Caerwys commenced with a service at the parish church, at a quarter to one o'clock. After .service, a procession was formed, starting from the church. The Caerwys Band headed the procession of magistrates, councillors, friendly societies, school children, ministers, and general public, and after parading the principal streets of the town, proceeded to the Town Hall, where tea was provided for the inhabitants of the parish, including Afonwen. ,Medals were presented to some 300 school children, and the town was gaily decorated. After tea, sports were held in a field, and the proceedings terminated with a display of fire- works. The committee had obtained over £40 in subscriptions. Mr W. Matthews was chair- man of the committee, and Mr J. E. Evans and Mr J. J. Roberts the hon. secretaries.
