Local and District News. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.] The Duchess of Westminster wili give a party at Grosvenor House on Friday afternoon to meet the Colonial Premiers. The Duke and Duchess of Teck have been among the guests entertained by the Prince and Princess of \Vales at Frogmore. At Grosvenor House on Wednesday the Duke and Duchess of Westminster entertained the Grand Duchess of Hesse and a party. The German Emperor presented some exquisite china to Princess Henry of -Pless before she left Germany for England for her stall at the Corona- tion Bazaar. The Duke and Duchess of Westminster returned to Grosvenor House on Saturday from Newlands Manor, Lymington, where they have been on a visit to Colonel and Mrs Cornwallis West. Two little sons of Lady Naylor-Lsyland have come into quite a large fortune by the recent death of their grandmother, Mrs Naylor-Leyland. All the money goes to the young baronet, but each of them has inherited a line estate in Wales. Lady Naylor Leyland, at a special meeting of the Management Committee of the Denbighshire and Flintshire Agricultural Society on Monday, was. unanimously selected as president of the Society, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Mrs Naylor Leyland, of Nantclwyd Hall. The Earl of Dundonald, who is going out to take charge of the Canadian Militia, has booked his passage from Liverpool in the Lake Champlain, of the Beaver Line, on July 15.

Bangor. University Appointment —The Council of the University College of North Wales has unani- mously appointed Dr. T. Witton Davies pro- fessor of Semitic Languages, he having been previously lecturer. Professor Davies holds also the chair of Hebrew and Old Testament at the Baptist College, Bangor. Death of a Bangor Journalist. The death occurred on Saturday at the Royal Infirmary, Liver- pool, of Mr John Williams, of Bangor, and who for some years was the Bangor and district represent- ative of a Liverpool contemporary. He subse- quently filled a responsible position at Bangor, and later still was promoted to the managership of the Welsh Conservative journal, the Clorianydd." Mr Williams was of a kindly disposition, and many will grieve at the news of his death, at the com- paratively early age of 48. Killed on the Railway.—A youth named Alfred Pritchard, 16 years of age, who for the past fortnight had been employed by the London and North-Western Railway Company as a painter on the Britannia Tubular Bridge, whilst walking along the line between Tregarth and Menai Bridge was knocked down by the locomotive of a train and killed. It is believed that he stepped from one line to the other to get out of the way of a train, and so was run over by a train, of the approach of which he was not aware. Bathing Facilities. Opinions are expressed that a drawback to the development of Bangor as a seaside resort has been the inadequacy of facilities for bathing, those using the boxes at Siliwen Baths being dependent upon the tides for their arrangements. This has now been obviated, the City Council having constructed an open-air bath on the banks of the Menai Straits, which is available for bathers at any time of the day. The bath, which is said to be the largest of its kind in the United Kingdom, was in- formally opened on Friday. Mr Gill, C.E., the city engineer, is responsible for its design. Defrauding the Railway Company.—Before Mr Thomas Lewis and other magistrates, Anthony Gilbert, cattle dealer, of Pump-street, off Oldham-road, Manchester, was charged with defrauding the London and North-Western Rail- way Company. He did not appear, but sent a friend to represent him.—Mr W. Fenna prose- cuted for the company.-Edgar S. Swann, special examiner, stated that on Friday, May 23rd, the defendant travelled from Afonwen to Bangor. When asked at Menai Bridge for his ticket, he showed a return third-class ticket from Greenore to Manchester. The defendant had no ticket from Afonwen to Menai Bridge.—William Albert Hughes, detective in the service of the company corroborated. The defendant, he stated, said at Chester, when questioned on the matter, that he had given up his Afonwen ticket at Menai Bridge, but when assured that he had not done. so he tendered half a sovereign in order to pay the fare.—The representative of the de- fendant informed the court that Gilbert was hurt by the kick of a horse last Wednesday in Ireland, and was laid up. He was an utterly illiterate man, and thought that the ticket he had from Greenore to Manchester, which the company had given him in. consideration of the cattle he had consigned by the railway, covered the fourney to Afonwen.-The. Bench regarded the case as proved, and expressed the opinion that there had been a deliberate attempt to defraud the company. A fine of 40S and costs was imposed. Stone-Throwing at Telegraph Insulators.—Five boys, named Henry Atherton, Owen Jones, Thomas Richard Jones, Arthur. Smith, and Edward E. Parry, living at Glanadda, Bangor, were charged at the police court with attempting to commit wilful dama'ge to the tele- graph lines in the Hendrewen-road, Glanadda.- Mr. D. E. Jones, postmaster of Bangor, stated "that he had to prosecute in the case on behalf of the Postmaster General. It had been found .im- perative that proceedings of the kind should be taken owing to the great amount of damage which had been done by boys throwing stones at the stoneware insulators on the telegraph poles, especially in this particular road. The damage not only entailed great trouble and cost, but also interfered with the efficiency of the telegraph service. The engineer having cause to complain, it was found necessary to communicate with the Chief-Constable, who was good enough to take special action in the matter.—Police-Constable Parry stated that on May 26th he concealed him- self near the cemetery on the Hendrewen-road, and he saw the five boys all throwing at the poles. He saw no insulator broken, however.— James Henry Lee, telegraph engineer for the district, stated that the insulators were valued at 7d each, and it was reported by the linesmen that sixteen were broken on May 10th, 21 be- tween May 10th and May 24th, and between the latter date and the 28th eight more. Thus insulators worth 26s id had been destroyed, and the cost of labour for replacing them was about [I.-The Chairman said the boys had acted very wickedly. They were liable to fines of [10 or to three months' imprisonment. He hoped that this action on the part of the Post-Office authori- ties would have the effect of deterring children from damaging the telegraphs in this way.- The defendants were fined 2S 6d each and costs.

Blaenau Festiniog. The Union.-The fortnightly meeting of the Guardians was presided over by Mr William Jones. Mr Cadwaladr Roberts complained of the number of benefit concerts for paupers held in Festiniog, and said they were becoming an intolerable burden to the ratepayers. They were also used as a means to slander the Board, it being said that the Guardians did not give adequate relief. It was stated that one pauper in receipt of 8s out-relief had received [25, pro- ceeds of a concert. It was decided to discontinue the relief. Bicycle Accident.—On Wednesday evening last, Mr J. R. Davies, Bay View, Llanwnda, Carnarvon, while cycling from Blaenau Festiniog to Port- madoc to catch the 9 o'clock train for Carnarvon, lost control of his machine and was thrown head- -long on the hill known as Ceunant Sych, between Blaenau and Rhydsarn, Maentwrog. No one was near at the time, but fortunately Dr R. D. Evans, Blaenau, came up from the latter village, and found Davies lying unconscious on the road. He got him into his trap, and Mr Humphrey Jones, New Turn- pike, received him into his house. It was found that he had dislocated his shoulder bone, and was suffering from concussion of the brain. He is reported to be doing as well as can be expected. Coal Merchant's Failure.—David Jones, sen., partner in the firm of David Jones and Son, coal ijaerchants, Llanrwst, came up for his public ex- amination.—The statement of affairs showed total liabilities amounting to [1,520 2S iod: amount due to unsecured creditors, [1,009 2S 4d; assets estimated by the debtors to realise Z885 2s; alleged causes of failure, illness of the senior partner, and inability of the junior partner to look after the business and attend to the books. —Mr David Jones, solicitor, Llanrwst, appeared for the bankrupt, who stated, in answer to the assistant official receiver (Mr D. Williams), that he had been carrying on business since 1877, and ten years afterwards his son joined him as partner. The business paid well for two or three years, but afterwards, owing to his illness, it was neglected.—The bankrupt was examined by Mr O. W. Roberts, on behalf of the Wigan Coal and Iron Company, as to an alleged fraudulent pre- ference to his bankers, and the examination was adjourned for two months, the bankrupts being ordered to find a cash account for the last three years.

Capel Curig. A Licensing Case.—At a special court at Port- madoc on Friday, Mr Trevor (Messrs Carter and Vincent, Carnarvon) applied for the transfer of the Jicence of the Royal Hotel, Capel Curig, from Mr James Holding to Miss Catherine Roberts. Super- intendent Jones said he had no objection to offer. In answer to the Bench, Mr Trevor said that Holding left a month ago, but that business was still carried on by Miss Roberts, who had been manageress for eight years. The Clerk (Mr" Casson) It is illegal to carry on business after the departure of the licensee. He added that if a person was convicted for selling drink without a licence such person would afterwards be dis- qualified for ever from holding a licence. Mr Jonathan Davies said they should exercise great care in a case like that, where the house is far removed from any town. The application was then granted, it being understood that the Bench would give special consideration to the licence at the annual meeting.

New Offices. The well-known auctioneers, j Messrs H. R Hughes & Co., have opened new offices- in Colwyn Bay, at St. Paul's Buildings, Atergele-road, nearly opposite the Public Hall. z, Interesting Sale.-We call the attention of our readers to an interesting sale of old oak furniture, works of art, antique china, &c., &c., which is to be held at the Public Hall, Colwyn Bay, on Friday, by Messrs H. R. Hughes & Co. Lovers of the antique and collectors of curios should not miss this opportunity. Underwood's Band-The proverbial German Band has done a great deal towards bringing street music into disrepute, but a really first-class company of performers, which compose such a band as Mr Underwood's, undoubtedly helps to raise the standard of open-air performances of this kind. Mr Underwood provides the best music, from the light merry airs of the comic opera to the more dignified classical pieces. The band deserves the cordial support of the townspeople. The New Pierrots.—In Mr Alf Bishop, of Ben Greet's Casino Company, the New Pierrots possess a young humorist of great ability and promise. His quaint songs and dancing are very clever. Mr Leslie Berry's banjo playing is a performance which is as unique as it is pleasing. The other members of the company, Messrs W. Bennett, singer of coon songs and dancer H. Willison, male soprano Arthur E. Aubert, comedian and H. Unsworth, pianist, help to make up a troupe well worth patronising.

Holywell. Sad Fatality to a Boy.—Mr F. Llewelyn Jones, the Flintshire coroner, has held an inquest at the Town Hall, Holywell, respecting the death of Joseph Garfield Jones, 14 years of age, son of Joseph Powell Jones, joiner, Walwen, Bagillt. From the evidence it appeared deceased, who was an apprentice in the employ of Mr Sideon, builder, and a man named Robert Hughes, were driving down to Greenfield in a cart in the morn- ing, and when by St. Winifride's Brewery Hughes a'greed to take a half-cask of beer down with him. The beer was placed in the cart, which proceeded on its journey, but a little lower down the road the pin which held in position the slide of the cart fell out, with the result that the cart tilted up. Deceased fell out on to the road and the cask fell on his head, practically smash- ing it, and causing instantaneous deatli.-The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."— The father of the deceased referred to the question of liability, but the coroner told him that was not a matter within the province of that court. Death of Mr Walter Garner. The death has ttfken place of Mr Walter Garner, Cross-street, one of the best-known tradesmen in the town. He had been in delicate health for some con- siderable time, but his final illness was a very brief one. He was the eldest son of the late Mr Joseph Garner. Deceased had for some time represented the parish of Holywell (urban) upon the Holywell Board of Guardians, and was also until recently a member of the Holywell Urban Council. On both bodies he showed himself to be a most useful business man. He was also the agent of the Brynford Hall Estate. The funeral of the deceased took place at Brynford Church- yard on Saturday. The chief mourners were Mr Joseph Garner, London, and the Rev. Alfred Garner, rector of Ellough, Suffolk, brothers Mr Peter Jones, Halkin, and Mr Robert Jones, Flint, uncles Mr H. Taylor, solicitor, Flint, etc. At Brynford the service was performed by the Revs. R. O. Williams, vicar of Holywell; W. Jones, rector of Brynford and Joseph Davies, curate of Holywell. Summer School of Theology.—A meeting of the Congregational ministers of the counties of Denbigh !I and Flint has been held at Holywell under the presidency of the Rev H.

Evans (Wrexham), the secretary, reported that the Rev David Jones (Ruthin) had invited the first meeting of the school to be held at Ruthin.—The offer was accepted.—It was decided that the mem- bership fee should not exceed five shillings.—The Secretary was instructed to try and secure the Rev Dr Horton to deliver the inaugural address at the time of his visit to the Bala Theological College next month. It was also decided to invite the Revs E. Griffith Jones (Balham), J. D. Jones (Bournemouth), J. Morgan Gibbon (London), and Dr Henry Jones (Glasgow) to deliver special lectures or conduct classes dealing with theological doctrines in connection with the school. A sub- committee was elected to carry out the arrange- ments.

Sacred Concert-At the sacred concert held in the Pier Pavilion on Sunday evening, Mr Cuthbert Allan, the well-known baritone, sang Why do the Nations," and Honour and Arms," in excellent style. A violin solo, Berceuse," by Mr Gezink, was a delightful performance, and displayed to advantage the wonderful mastery of the accom- plished performer over his instrument. A flute Fantasia," by Mr E. S. Redfern, was decidedly one of the chief attractions of the concert. The orchestra played a number of pieces in their usual brilliant style, and the concert was brought to a close by the singing of the well-known hymn, Onward Christian Soldiers." The Deputation to London. -:On Wednesday morning, the deputation appointed by the Urban Council to attend the proceedings in connection with the Colwyn Bay Bill before the House of Lords Committee on Thursday, left Colwyn Bay for London, accompanied by Mr Amphlett, solicitor to the council, Mr J. M. Porter, surveyor, who will give evidence on behalf of the council, and Mr J. H. Roberts, the clerk. It is stated that a strong opposition will again be offered by Mr W. Horton to the suggested idea of the sewage outfall. The deputation consisted of the following The Chair- man of the Council (Rev. Thos. Parry), Mr George Bevan, Mr Rowland Williams, Mr Wm. Davies, Mr J. Dicken, and the Rev John Griffiths. The Novelty Bohemians. During such weather as we have been favoured with lately, the Pier is a most popular rendezvous. A capital entertainment is continued to be provided by the Novelty Bohemians. The Doll Duett," by Messrs Cardow and Renard, is exceedingly well rendered, and is always highly enjoyed by the audience. The same can be said of the delightful choruses in which the whole company take part. Mr Atherton's splendid bass voice is heard to great advantage in such popular songs as In Cellar Cool," Hear the wild winds blow," The Toreador," &c. Mr Renard's ventriloquial items never fail to put the audience into fits of merriment, whilst Mr Sidney Lee's conjuring tricks and illusions evoke the most profound admiration. As an accom- panist, Mr Swain is superb, and the occasional songs which he renders are much enjoyed. I Reynolds' Minstrels —A seaside resort without a nigger troupe would be undoubtedly an uninterest- place in the eyes of the holiday-makers, and a sea- side resort with a poor troupe would be still worse off. Colwyn Bay does not come under either of these heads. It possesses a minstrel troupe of the most approved pattern, and a really good one, to boot. It is doubtful whether a cleverer or a happier combination of talent could be met with at any other seaside town, than is to be seen in Mr Reynolds' company. Mr George Elliott is un- equalled as a singer of humorous ditties, and his dancing is simply marvellous. Messrs Tony White, Ernest Osmonde, Will Crowson, Harry Gilmore, and last, but not least, Mr Harry Reynolds himself, are all masters of the art of entertaining, each one having his own particular forte. A delightful feature of the show is the nightly sketch, which is always a source of amusement. A reper- toire of about forty sketches enables Mr Reynolds to put on a fresh sketch almost each time.

Saturday Evening's Concert.—There was a large attendance at the usual popular concert given on Saturday evening at the Pier Pavilion, and the programme was more than usually enjoyable. Miss Perceval Allen, with a soprano voice of re- markable purity and clearness, was charming in her rendering of Bernard Rolt's "White Roses." She also sang, "Memories of the Heart" (Noel Johnson) and Mr Bolton contributed a cello obligato. The blending of the high sweet voice and the low plaintive notes of the cello was as delightful as it was perfect. Mr Robert Radford, one of the most popular of bass vocalists, was in his best form in the singing of "Ailsa Mine" (Newton), and Memories," and The Sailor's Life." Mr Harry Lawton, an entertainer of no mean" ability and renown, succeeded in hugely pleasing the audience with a couple of humorous sketches, Society and Variety," and At the Sea- side." The instrumental items, played by the brilliant orchestra, under the baton of Mons Verbrugghen were selected from the best works and included two pieces never played before in Colwyn Bay,"Chant Sans Paroles" (Tschaikowsky), and A Georgian Camp Meeting (Kerry Mills). A remarkable scene was witnessed during the first part of the concert. Mons Verbrugghen had received a telegram giving a most encouraging re- port of the progress made by the King. This he read to the audience, and, almost instinctively, the whole mass of people rose up and sang the National Anthem. Intense patriotic feeling was displayed by all, and the scene will be long remembered. The building had been most tastefully decorated for the Coronation week, the ceiling being hung with rows of pretty Chinese lanterns, &c. On the front of the platform a magnificent piece of electrical de- coration had been erected with the letters E. R. occupying the place of honour. Whilst the National Anthem was being sung, the decoration was lit up with the electric light, and a more pleasing surprise could hardly have been devised.
