Although .^eavy rain had fallen daring, the morning, the afternoon was dear ar.d fine, and the ground in good condition. Before the com- mencement of th-2 match, an interesting little ceremony took place, vlhon Mr L. 0. 11. Ash- ley, J.P., presented Orton, the club's pro- fessional with a framed illuminated memento of the pro.'s "hat tiiek" at the Llandudno match, on June 2.5th and also with a pair of pads. Mr Ashley, in making the presenta- tion, referred in eulogistic terms to Orton's services to the club, and said that the Llan- dudno Club intended to make bima prceenta- tion of a criekct ball in honour of the rare achievement. Orton, in thanking Mr Ashley and the club for their kindness, said that the achievement was largely due to Mr Jenkins for bringing off a magnificent catch low down ir; the slips. Mr Ashley having won the toss, decided to send in his men to bat on an easy wicket, -he recALt ran. It wa-, referxed to &f tc. t I draw stumps at 6.15 p.m. Orton and Jenkins sfaoed Hands' bowling from the town end, and McLaehlan from th-e other end. The eoore gradually rose to 20. when Ivor Wil- liams, exchanging with Hands, bowled Jen- kins, after a couple more runs had been added. Norman Rogers Jones filled the vacancy, and runs were now reeled off stead- ily. urner took McLachlan's place, and soon two wickets were down for 41. Ash by, the home akipper, now partnered the pro., and Hands; McLachlan, Ivor Williams, Turner, and Wood- iugs, in turn, tried to break up the combina- tion. When the score reachcd 111, Ashley had the misfortune to play the ball on to his wicket, after having scored a fine innings of 37 runs. The game was then declared at 5 p.m.. Orton carrying out has bat for a care- fully compiled score of 47. Bangor opened their innings with Hands And R. E. Williams, to the bowling of Jen- kins a-nd Orton. After scoring three runs, B. E. Williams was bowled by Jenkins. Hands ■was then joined by Turner, when a good Stand was made. The score having reached 12, Jenkins injured one of his fingers badly, and retired for a few minuter, Ashley filling the vacancy. Jenkins, however, in a few minutes, was back, and trundling as merrily as ever. The score having reached 37, Turner wati held low down by Dennis R. Jones, off Orton. after having contributed 18 to tihe ecore. E. Lloyd Jones joined Hands, but the laifcter to snapped at pomt by A. E. Eliaa, McLachJaa. true next player, after scoring two, was neiyly stumped by Carter, his place being occupied by Ivor Williams. Edgar Lloyd .loridp, '.n attempting to play back to JeniiiLS, hit his wicket. He was succoeded by Wooding.■«, who, alter adding nine to the scare, fell a. victim to Jenkins. The innings having produced 70 runs for six. wickets, the match thiis resulted in a draw, very much in the home^trrs' favour. The scores are as fol- MMns LLANRWST.

CHESS. CHESHIRE v. NORTH WALES. The two unfinished gamee in the above ■match have (on the adjudication of Mr C. H. Wall work, of the Manchester Chess Club) bean declared wins for the North Walk's players, Mr T. H. ARb-mtt, of Colwyn Bay, and Mr H. E. Copleston, of Wrexham. It is a curious coincidence that the winning position in both cases is that after White's 23rd move; and that, though the positions themaelvee are esBemtiailly different, each should have been gain-ed by similar tactics; to wit, a strong combittation of the inferior pieces followed by a forced exchange of Queen and Rook. The position at No. 5 board is interesting from the fact that while each player's pieces (12 and 11 respecti vely) are strictly with "a his own lines, White has those of his oppon- ent so pinned as to practically bo out of nlay. The award of the -two games North Wales placos the contestants equal at the first ten boards, and makes it the more to be re- gretted that the play by the. Welsh Tepre- semtatives lower down should have made thj totaJ result (1,31 to 5|) so unsatisfactory. For in point of actual strength the players at the lower boards were very evenly matched.

NORTH WALES WEDNES- DAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE. ANNUAL MEETING. COL. MELLOR ELECTED PRESIDENT. The annual general meeting of the North Wales Wednesday FootWli League was held to-day week, at the North-Western Hotel, Llandudno Junction, Mr R. Greenfield presiding over a freed attendance. It was decided that when the medals for the championship of the League came to hand, that they bo handed over to the respective clubs by th-o secretar .y. The election of chairman was the finst busi- ness, and Mr G-reenik-id at the outoet compli- mented the committee upon the manner in which they had attended the meetings, and thanked t, ?'. ir the cuur-tc-i,v whi0i th?ey ha(l paid to the chair. Mr Greenfield was unanimously re-elected. Mr A. J. Davies, Llandudno, was unanimous- ly respected treasurer. Mr F. V. Jones was also re-elected as secrc- tary. Eaoh of the o:!ic:aits responded and thanked the committee for their confidence. The election of committee followed, the- 0hair- man (Mr Greenfield) pointing out that it would perhaps be advisable to revise the representation of the clubs on the committee, and elect two members from each club. On the proposition of Mr Mason, Colwyin Bay, seconded by Mr H. Hay-den, Llandudno, it was therefore decided that the committee should1 con- sist of the Chairman, Secretary, amd Treasurer, together with two representatives of each club, to bø nominated by the club3. The Chairman reported that he had cofectpd several arait.isfaotory subscription-is to-Naxd-q the pmPOGed shield.

PIER THEATRE OF VARIETIES at 3 and I 8, Animated Pictures. THE PIER CONCERTS. I An attractive programme was arranged for the ninth special concert, which was given I on Saturday evening. It opened with the oveirture to Kossini's "Semiramide," an opera which was produced at Venice, in 1823, and enjoyed numerous popularity for a time. This was followed by Saint-Saens' poeme sym- pnoniqiie, "Le Rouet d 'OmpthaJe, which was the first of four symphonic poems composed by Saint-Saeiifi, and which was played with great eilect. Amors' Highland patrol, "Wee Macgrogor," as usual, proved a most popular I item, and had to be repeated. By special request, the Orchestra gave a magnifiocoit rendering of Rossini's overture to his last and greatest opera, "William Tell." This overture opens with a loveJy movement, utilized to depict the "mystery" which reigns m 'illounta,in solitudes at the hour of sunrise. Presently, clouds gather, the rain-drops fail, and the r-oar of "Heaven's Artillery" rends the air. As the st-orm dies away, a pastorale is heard. There is a caJl to arms, and then begnns the stirring a.nd ever-popular quick- step, with thrilling climax. Needless to say, that the programme was loudly applauded the audience. Other favourite items in- cluded Massenet's "Scenes Napolitaincs," Rubens' selection "'TIle Balkan Princess," and Chopin's "Polonaise." » » The vocalists were M-iss Evangeline Flor- ence and Mr John Roberts, both of whom have previously appeared with great success at these eon-certs. Possessed of a powerful voice, and infusing a wealth of expression into her smgingj Mise Florence opened with Gounod's "Serenade," to which Mr Harrv Freeman played the violin obldgato. The audience testified their approbation in no half-hearted manner, and after repeatedly bowing her acknowledgements, Mias Florence was compelled to sing again. In the second part of the programme, Miss Florenc,- treat-ed the au&eno?? to dc?l-i:-rnht-fi!d -r,ideri-ag,g of two chariyimg ?, so73g- entitled, "The Bonny Blue Kerchief" and "Flower Fairies," and in response to an encore, wihich brooked no denial, she gave a most effective 18.00 brilliant Tendering1 of "The Cuckoo" (Lieman). This was Miss Florence's last appearance at these concerts this sea-son, as she sails for America. the latter end of this month. • # Mr John Roberta, who made such a success- ful debut at these concerts last senron was accorded a hearty reception upon his re- appearance on Saturday evening. He sang the priKe-eong "Die Meistersingeir" (Wa-g- ner), given with orchestral accompaniment, and his rendering of this famous air, the ambition and despair of most tenors, was in every respect worthy of the high reputation he has made for himself during the past few years on the concert platform. Possessed of a remarkably clear teTior voice, which reveals in every note careful training, he could not have failed to evoke the enthusiasm of an audien OC no M, tt -1 -or how critioil it mi,?z"ht be. As an encore he gave a most pleasing and effective rendering of "Leave me not." After the interval, Mr Roberts was equally successful in Tito Matter's eong, "Biainca," and responded to an encore with the ever- popular Gilbert-Sullivan number, "Take a pair of spark];mg eyes." At the sacred concert oil Sunday evening, Mr Roberts was heard to great advantage in Adams' "Star of Bethlehem" and the air "Cujus Animam" (from Rossini's "Stabat Mater"). His other numbers duanng t.he week included "The Sapor's Grave" (Sulli- van), "Lob ha" fPeccia). "Thro' the forests, thro' the meadows" (Weber), "Wihen the world is faia-" (Cowen), etc. 9 On Sunday evening, by request, Mr Haj-ry Freeman played the violin solo in Massenet's meditation "Thais," and Mr A. Halstead gave a flute G1 tick's statue music from "Or- feo," both items being highly appreciated. it it On Monday evening, Mr F. C. Hatton fereated the audience to one of his favourite piccolo solos "Silver Birds" (Le Thiere), and on Tuesday evening, Mr John Branston gave the ever-popular trombone solo, "The Vil- lage Blacksmith," of which the audience d.a- mafnded a repetition. ft » • The orchestral items given during the week included Beethoven's symphony in C minor, Masseuet's suite "Scenes Pittorescjues," Men- del-ssohin's overture "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Rossini's "William Tell," Keller's fantasia "The Birdsrvler." By/Jig's selection "A Day in Naples," lioennemann's pastoral fantasia "Lc Ficmorsberg," German's three dances from "Henry Vlil. Nicolai's over- ture to the "Merry Wives of Windsor," Mas- cagni's fantasia "Cavalle<ria Rusticana," Weber's overture to "Oberon," Gounod's selection "Faust," Godfrey's "Reminiscences of Yetrdi," Wagner's "Tannhauser," etc. ° • » • « MADAME EDNA THORNTON. At the tenth spccLal concert, on Saturday evening, Madame Edna Thornton will bo the principal vocalist. Madame Thornton is very popular at these concerts, and her visits are always eagerly anticipated. She has just com- pleted a successful engagement in Grand Opera at Covent Garden, where she has been re-engaged for three months next autumn with Mr Thomas Bcecham. < t THE HAPPY VALLEY MINSTRELS. These popular entertainers have been attracting large crowds to the Happy Valley each afternoon this week, when most amusing and entertaining 'programmes have been given, and are of course highly appreciated by tho crowded audiences. Mr Churchill's lecture on "Suffragettes," Mr George Snow's imitation of a conjuror, etc., are among the best items ever heard in the VaJley. » "THE BUSY BEES." Tlhcoo clever entertainers continue to en- hance their popularity. Their entertainment is of a most interesting' and varied character. Up to last week Mr Owen Sterling has been scoring heavily with his favourite letter- writing song, "The Mountains of Mourne," and this week he is equally successful with "Mary's reply to t,he Mountains of Mourne." Miss Ethel Vere, the charming and dainty comedienne, is as popular as ever in her eong, "How ashamed I was?" Mr Jeff. Vendome in "What a Conjure" and "Kelly's gone to Kingdom come," also scores great successes. Miss Nina Carlton is heard to great advan- tage in such songs as "Angus Maodonald," "For all eternity," "My moon," etc. Miss Lizzie Ohase meets with the high apprecia- tion of the audiences with her catchy refrain, "It's all over with the men;" and Mr Am- brose Doyle is exceedingly funny with his "patter." Mr Reg. Wakefield's "Sadie" is also among the most popular items of the programme; and Mr Wakefield's clever danc- ing forms a striking feature of the popular cntertammeut. THE SEA TRIPS. The i-oa trips by the line fleet of the Liverpool and North Waios SteariLsluip Company have been largely patronised tins week. On Ttuaxiay the "St. E, had a large orowd on board for Dotugi'atj, and on Wedcesd-ay msado a ewoiai trip to Livorp-o-c-1, allowing passengers 4 £ houra 2 aihoro.

Sever; Coun- cillors James Porter, Fred. Jones, Edward Jones, Dr. Carter, Robert Jones, Henry Jones, J. E. Conway Jones, Dr. M. J. Morgan, Hugh Owen, and A. J. Oldman, with Messrs T. E, Parry (town clerk), F. A. Delamottc, (engineer), Hugh Parry (borough accountant), II. Dixon (gas manager), and T. M. Jones (collector). DILATORY BOATMEN. Mr J. E. Conway Jones explained the decision to take proceedings against boatmen who had not taken out their lieer.ces after three requests hal been made to them to do so. DUST PREVENTION. On the motion of Mr J. E. Conway Jones, seconded by Dr. R. A. Prichard, the Town Clerk was requested to inquire of the Roads Improve- ment Board if they would contribute towards the expense of tar-spraying the roads in the borough. It was also decided to tar-spray the Gyffin main road at Woodlands as far as possible, at a cost not exceeding £30- SMOKELESS FUEL. It was decided to send notices to the tenants of bakehouses in the borough requesting them to use smokeless fuel. DEGANWY FREE LIBRARY. Some time ago the Council asked Lord Mostyn and Mrs and Miss Wallace (London) for permis- sion to use the Deganwy Free Library for pub- lic purposes, but a communication was received stating that they could not see their way to modify the terms of the existing arrangements. The building, which was erected by Mr Wallace (at one timo Mayor of the borough) and Miss Wallace, was transferred to the Council as a reading and re- creation room. But it was felt that tho Deganwy portion of the borough was in need of an assem- bly room, and it was thought that the library could, for a time, at any rate, be utilised for the purpose. A CLAIM FOR COMPENSATION. A letter was read from the Rev. G. H. Bain- bridge, Atcham Vicarage, Shrewsbury, claiming compensation for damages done to his car by sheep driven from the Morfa. Tho Town Clerk was instructed to inform the rev. gentleman that the Corporation did not admit liability. RIVAL CLAIMANTS. Inasmuch as the Railway Company are claim- ing what the Council contend is the property of the Bridge Commissioners, namely, the bridge embankment wall, it was decided to instruct Mr Thornton Jones to reply stating that the Coun- cil did not admit the Company's claim. THE TERRITORIALS AND THE MORFA. THE COUNCIL BLAMELESS. Tho following letter, addressed by the Mayor to the Secretary of State for War, was sub- mitted :— "At a meeting of the Town Council, held yes- terday, I was requested to communicate to you the purport of a resolution passed at a public meeting of the inhabitants of the Borough of Conway, viz. 'That this meeting, representing tho inhabitants of the Borough of Conway, views with profound alarm the withdrawal of the Ter- ritorials from the Morfa, the result being detri- mental beyond immediate comprehension to^the trade of the town generally.' For a consider- able number of year;, the Conway Morfa (which is the property of the Council) has been utilised ai a camping ground for Volunteers and Militia —subsequently Territorial and Special Reserves. This year Special Reserve Forces only have been sent here by the authorities at Chester, which has caused a great loss to the tradesmen, and disappointment to my Council who have spent some thousands of pounds upon works of protec- tion of the Morfa in addition to a considerable sum for providing drainage required by the Chester Authorities. This expenditure was in- curred on the faith of the camps on the Morfa being continued, and added materially to the in- debtedness of the borough. No reason has been given for the, discontinuance of the Territorial camps, and I am requested to respectfully ask you to cause the Council to be informed if the withdrawal of the Territorials from Conway this year is due to any action or want of action on the part of tho Council, or the officials, or for any other reason, in order that the same may be rectified, if possible, before arrangements are made for the next camping season." The following reply was received from the War Office :W ith reference to your letter, dated 2nd June, 1910, regarding the use of Conway Camp for the annual training of the Territorial troops, I am commanded by the Army Council to inform you that the selection of camps for the training of the Territorial Force, is in the hands of the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief. l,'hief West- The General Officer Comyr?anding-in-1. ern Command has reported that the sole reason for not using this camp on this occasion was in connection with its unsuitability for the train- ing of a division as a whole, and was in no do- gree due to any action or want of action, on the part of the Borough Council, or the officials thereof. (Signed) R. H. Brade." On the motion of Mr A. J. Oldman, seconded by Mr Fred. Jones, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the Mayor and the officials for their valuable services in the matter. Dr. Prichard observed that the correspondence proved clearly that the Council had not, as somo people alleged, neglected their duty in the mat- ter. Mr James Porter proposed that n copy of the corresponàlmee be forwarded Mr Owen Evans, hon. secretary of the Tradesmen's Association, and that ho be informed that the Council were still prepared to meet the representatives of tho Association to discuss the matter with them. It was a very good thing that such an influential body took an interest in local affairs. Mr J. E. Conway Jones, in seconding, said that it was only right that the public should know all the facts. They could then see that the Council had done its duty in the matter. The motion was agreed to. WALES AND THE ROYAL STANDARD. On the motion of Mr A. J. Oldman, seconded by Mr Henry Jones, it was decided to support the Carnarvon petition asking the King to have a representation of Wales on the Royal Standard, and on the coinage of the United Kingdom. Dr. Morgan observed that Wales was the most im- portant part in the United Kingdom. INV OF THE PRINCE OF WALES THE CLAIMS OF CONWAY. Mr James Porter brought up the question of the invest-uro of the Prince of Wales. Other towns were moving in the matter, and he be- lieved Conway should put in its claim. Dr. Mor- gan, said Mr Porter, had declared that Wales was the most important part of the United King- dom, but Conway was the most important place in Wales. It was decided, on the motion of Mr Oldman, seconded by Mr Edward Jones, to refer the mat- ter to the Estate Commmittee for consideration and report.
