RHYL AMUSEMENTS. THE EW PAVILION AND GARDENS. Messrs Baring Bros, are to be congratulated on the list of attractions they have provided :or ,c the public in the Pavilion and Gardens during the past week. The fireworks display on Thurs- day evening was a great success, and following this there was the visit on Sunday evening oi the Royal Marines Band. This splendid body of musicians, under the direction of Lieut. Millar, delighted tho crowded audicucc with their excel- lent playing. It was a great musical treat, iiid one which will not be readily forgotten. One of the most impressive portions of the programme was the closing number. The whole audience rose to their fed, and in a most reverent man- ner sang "Abide with Me," the orchestra playing the accompaniment. In the Gardens this week Herr Hambouvg's fine band has given excellent programmes. The entertainment in the Pavilion has been one of the finest yet given at this place. While the educated chimpanzee George I. has pfovtd a great attraction, the other portions of the programme have been equally well appre- ciated. Theru is the Stavordalo Quintette, which has won for itself a great reputation, and tee marvellous way in which the artistes go through their fine performance has won for them the ap- preciation of all who have seen them. There is no lack of entertaining items, and the remaining nights of the week should witness other crowded houses. In the large room in front of the build- ing the electric pictures are produced with splen- did clearness, and the programme is as varied as it is entertaining.

« • • • THE QUEEN'S PALACE. Thu carnival held on Thursday was one of those attractive gatherings which have been so popular at the rink, and there is to be another held on Monday evening, when prizes are to be offered for summer costumes. This should prove a great draw for the Bank Holiday. There will also be exhibitions of faricy and trick skating. In the adjacent picture palace a splendid series of films are being shown throughout the day, while in the large marque thero is dancing and a capital marionette show. This latter entertain- ment is a dccidely novel and clever exhibition.

« « THE OLYMPIAN GARDENS. On Monday evening the management of this popular place of amusement had the misfortune to have their tent wrecked in the gale, but with great promptness they removed their show to the Town Hall, where despite the difficulties of getting the place fitted up at a moment's notice the "Looscatanner" Company gave a very good show, and they are appearing in this building during the week. Next week the Pierrots return to the Olympian Gardens with an entirely new show.

• • • • THE AMPHI-THEATRE. Mr James' "Strolling Players" are here found at home, and they have placed before their -at- rons a very neat and clever show. The company include several well-known artistes, and their programme is one of a very refined, yet humorous character.

« « ■ • THE JOVIAL JESTERS. Although storm-bound for a couple of days this week, Mr Gilbert Rogers has "come up smiling," as one of the troupe put it after the wind had subsided, and their programme is brought up-to-date, and a clever and entertain- ing programme is placed before the audience. This is the popular gathering ground of the Tittle ones, and with the breaking up of tho schools the juvenile element is much in evidence. o o

CENTRAL HALL. During the rougli weather Mr Cheetham put on special pragramme3 each morning, and has had large audiences to witness his fino show of pictures. • • •

A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. The report of the Sainitary Inspector on tho health of the district was as follows:—"The town, continues to retail its immunity from in- fectious didcase—a concation Cif such dwsration as to justify the statement that no resort along the ooast can lay claim to a cleaner bill of health, than Pnetsfcatyn." Mr Benm moved tbe adoniion of the! report, and said it was pleasing to note the satisfactory condition of things. There was really nothing I<m extraordinary in the r»;>ort, act the conditioni was reaiHy normal—Prestatyn had a very clean bill of health. He was sure that the distriot could compare favourably with any other North Wiiles ooast towm. Lr Linnell tj&^oindled, aald the Teport was adopted. LATE COMERS LOSE THEIR MARKS. Mr IinneLl complained that Mr Thcs. Jones anidl hiniiralif had not boClIl credited with an at- tendance at the Public Health Committee. They were near the Town Hall at tijo timet wJbein the meeting was Oc'.1.1;cd. and, so could not have been more than a. few miimites late in arriving, yet all the business was over. He was afraid that the meeting started early, and he saw no nwa- ecsi why they aliouid wot. havo had their atten- dance rog-Btened' as well as otlter members who arrived at meetings a few mdnutew late. Mr Bonn said titoy h&d to Keen to orders. The busimesa was fiuuihed, and the chasirmaji had left the chair, therefore the moa:ffig was over. Mr Linsioll roptied that lie would watch mat- ters in future. PENJSARDRE IMPROVEMENTS.

During the win-ter months thero has been great- presTure on the existing ac- commodation in the ad part of the workhouse. If the chikiron aro removed from the wwkhouao altogether their quarters can be utilised for adults. The v-agrant wards ate totally inade- quate to accommodate tbo large number of vag- rafuta who frequent this workhouse. Ofron as many ao 30 aJ.eop in ptaces intewied far only 17.

A ILARD CASE. AND A SMART ANSWER. The Board investigated a very hard cape, in which a woman, geparated from her husband, ail- tho'jgh she received only 5s per week, bad bad her roKcf s»top]>?d. The Clerk stated that the woman with two children could not live on 53 per week, aind by his orders the noie-v.ing officer bad given the woman ro'ief in kind. Thero was a division as to whether 5s or 33 should ba allow-od to tlte woman as relief, when the laitter suim was oarrkxl by a emaill majority. Mr J. E.

LETTERS OF THANKS. Manufacturers of Dr. Tibbies' Vi- Cocoa Thanked for what they sell. Letters of tlianks keep pouring- in from e"o.ry county in Britain to the manufacturers of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Coooa. Tho fact is something more than remarkable testimony to the private useful- ness of the splendid British food-beverage. These k-ttcrs show that Vi-Cocoa is admitted to bo a national benefit. People who 'have ugod it want tlieir fellow-countrymen to know how great a. Iselp it is to health and energy. What makew Vi-Cocoa suoh a great thing for tJI9 nation? Dr. TibbW Vi-Coooa is British made, British-invented- apjuuved by British medical men; and it is a food-beverage, which stands by itaeif. It has far more nourishment in it than beaf-tea or soup; and it is a digestive too. Vi-Oocoa is the. best of cocoa with malt, kola and! hops to make it a food and a tonic as well aa A wanning beverage. The best bieakfast and Hiupixvr ocooa. for women, the only one for men who have to face cold weather and hard work is Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Oocoa- Do not ask your grocer for cocoa. Ask for Q7œa —it makes all the difference. Every grocer sella Vi-Cocoa in 6d packets and 9d and Is 6d tins.

SI1. ASAPH (DENBIGH) EUEAL DISTRICT COUNCIL THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS. LLANDDULAS WATER SUPPLY: FURTHER COMPLAINTS. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Friday after the meeting of tho Board of Guardians, Mr Morris Jones pre- siding. The Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Lloyd Roberts) said he had nothing special to re- port as to the health of the district, but he wished to call the attention of the Council to the need of hotter sanitation at some of the schools, particularly Tanyfron (Lian- sannan), Llannefydd, and Llanfa.ir, where there was need for a better water supply and more up-to-date sanitary arrangements. The Clerk stated that the question of the water supply of Llansannan was under con- sideration, and the Parish Council was deal- ing with the matter, a parish meeting having 11 been arran.gved for to consider two schemes which had been prepared. Mr John Roberts asked what they required water in the Lla.nsannan Schools for when there was a river close by. The Medical Officer of Health replied that children in school required water for washing their hands. Mr John Roberts They can fetch that from the river. It wa.3 decided that the Clerk should write to the Parish Council of Llansannan urging them to hold the parish meeting at an early date, and that lira oondition of the other schools bo pointed out to the Denbigh shire Education Authority. THE WATER SUPPLY OF LLANDDULAS. It was reported. that there had been a fracture :iu the water ma-in at Llanddulas, and that the pressure had b&en low in cer- tain places. Canon Roberts said there were continual complaints about the want of pressure at Llanddulas. In the schools one day there was no water and at Fennington-terraoe people could could not get water until after midnight, and the supply ceased at about nine a.m. A fire had occurred in the district recently, and he wondered what would have happened had the outbreak been a serious one. Tlie Clerk said he had received a telegram from a. resident in Llanddulas as to the low pressure, and hoe communicated with the water office at Rhyl. In reply he was told that the inspector on visiting Llanddulas found the pressure all right. 1. The Clerk added that he had received a resolution from tlbo Parish Council asking that th-e District Council would take stops in the matter as the low pressure was detrimental to the plaoe. He sent on a copy of tho letter to RhyL, and the reply he had was that tlie regist-er of the meter at LL-inddulas had been taken from which it appeared that the same quantity of water as usual had passed through. Mr Hall, the engineer, suggested that there was leak- age in Llanddulas, and that there should be a house to house inspection. The pressure when taJren at Abergele was found to be all right, and at Gwrych Castle Lodge it was 130 foeb. Canon Roberts suggested that the valves might be so arranged that on particular occasions there would bo pressure at certain points. It was strange that the pressure should always be the same at certain hours. People did not always draw on the mains with the same uniformity as the low prftsure8 at stated intervals showed. Mr John Roberts considered that the only remedy would be to have different mains. Canon Roberts asked if there was any remedy for the existing state of things. The Clerk replied that lie did not think so. Canon Roberts: Excepting arbitration. The Clerk added that it was often said that the valves were tampered with at Abergele, ard it certainly looked like it. Mr John Roberts said he thought there was too much attention being paid to tho supply for Rhyl, Rhuddlan, and other places to the detri- ment of Llanddulas. Mr Davies asked if there was any control over tho water in Abergele before it reached Llan- ddulas. The Surveyor (Mr Evans) replied that the in- spector at Abergele could increase or decrease the pressure at Llanddulas as he liked by alter- ing the valves at Abergele, through which town the water first passed. Mr John Roberts said there should De a separate main for Llanddulas. The Council decided that the surveyor should make an independent insjicction of the fittings in Llanddulas, and take the pressures at various points without giving notice to the office at Rriyl, so that an independent report could be laid be- fore the Council. A lettei was r,lId from the Llanddulas Quarry Company renewing their application for a water supply for their engines, and stating that tucy were prepared at any time when the supply was were prepared at any time when the supply was low for domestic purposes to go without water. At present it cost them about £ 7 per montti to cart water. Yet they had to pay rates, from which they derived but little benefit. The Council expressed rc-g-ret that the pre- sent condition of things would not permit of their supplying water for other than domestic purposes. THE ROAD BOARD. The Clerk laid before the meeting a circular letter from the new Road Board in which was pointed out the steps to be taken when applica- tions were sent to that authority in connection with proposed road improvements. The Clerk said he had in mind the road from Llansannan to Llanfair, which had been repr-atedly referred to. That was a case in which the Road Board might help. Mr John Roberts said it simply meant borrow- ing money and repaying it with interest. The Clerk said they might get a grant. Mr Davies: It will come from the Budget. On tho motion of Mr Salusbury, the Clerk was directed to procure copies of the circular for the information of members. ROYALY FOR STONES. A letter wps read from Messrs Whitley Dnd Co., solicitors to Mr Wynn Yorke, with regard to the quarrying of stones at Llwynderw Quarry, Llansannan, and suggesting that the Council should render an at count of all stone raised, the royalty to be 6d p -r load. Several members suggested that this price was very high, and that the usual royalty was 2-Jd, and never more than t¡d per load. It was decided to leave the matter with the Clerk, Mr John Roberts suggesting that it might bo cheaper to buy a quarry, as at 6d per load the royalty would be about £ 10 per annum. A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE. The Clerk reported that a workman named Thomas Jones had been hurt at Foel Fodient Quarry, about, half a ton of stone and earth fall- ing on him; one large stone hurting his head and shoulders. The claim had been sent to the Insurance Company in due course. It was a strange thing, but this was the third workman named Thomas Jones who had been hurt within a short time (laughter). TREFNANT SEWERAGE WORKS. At the pievious meeting of the Council a claim was made for El for a lamb which had been drowned in the sewerage tanks at Trefnant, because, it was alleged, the wire fence waj too wide. The Council then repudiated liability, but after further correspondence and a report from Mr Morris, the Council decided to settle the matter, and to arrange that an unelimablc fence be erected around the tajiks. Mr Daviea said that if the Council spent cny money on protecting iambs he would ask thom to spend money on tho protection of a pond at Bettws in which a boy was nearly drowned ro- cent.ly. Human life was more valuable than the life of a lamb. The Clerk said that e:ich parish had to bear its own expenses for drainage works, so that if Mr Davies wished to protect any place in Bettws the cost would fall on his parish. EXTRA OR 1) r N A R Y TR A FFIC. The question as to the claim against the Bell Metal Company for damago to a road at Llan- ddulas was again referred to, and the Clerk was directed to writ; the oompany pointing out that unless somo arranaernent was come to at once tho Counoil would have to press its claim. Mr J. B. Will lams said the road wa-s in a very bad condition. The Clerk added that lie had also given notioe toO the Vale of Clwyd Timber Company that there would bo a claim against them for extraordinary traffic on the road from Djrffryn Aled to Den- I bigh Station for timbor haulage.

At the outot of the his Honour asked whether tHiEwo was no chance of the parties coming to a sottkimient. He regretted vory much soeiiiig two profo^EPCiriiaJ! gantleanen borore him an a matter of tha.t kind. The two advocates then retired for a consul- tation, but failed to agree, and tiie aotkm, there- fûw, pr<.>œcded PJaintiff said that onilio 13 th ciÍ June he was cyc'Ung into IXsnLgh, to attend a private diinter party. At the time he was in oveiung drees^ anAl travelling- at a slow pace. In tlie bottom of Vale-street be made an effort to get to his proper side of the street, and snsncoed'xl;. C-oan- ing oown to sfcroat was the defendant's motor car. It travailed an the riight, side of tlie road, but the driver made a, mrietako which caur«d a ooffisinin. When near the raiiHvay bridig'e tliia car svvurved Kuddleniy to tlie other side, and knocked witnes> down, cau-si-nig h.im to lJurna; eoutoi'sa-uil, a«nd to alight on die base of hia n spino. At the. spat where tlie cuKksson took place, the motor car was on the wrong side of the road. Witne s did not at the time fed much JE hurt, and declined Dr. Ix>wj.s's offor toO ride in the car. Tlie bicycle was utterly dn^stroyed. A- day or two afterwards, he began to feel the effects of the aocid-eiit. He felt pain all over the body, which was much bruised, and for nearly 'throe weeks, lie could not sit properly owing to pain. His claim was made up of ,iil0 for personal injurievs, i2 2s for mcdiual attention, £2 10s Gd for the repair of bicycle, and the remainder as incidental expanses. He mad-e no claim whatever for the loss of professional earnings. Dr. James Hughes gave evidence to the in- juries plaintiff sustai^d, and several wit- nesses stated that the dor car was on the wrong side of the ro when the accident occurred. Dr. Collins Lewis, in his evidence for the defence, said that the turning to Rutliin- road was quite, clear as far as he could see, and as he was travelling in that direction, the driver took the turn sharper than usual. When Mr Howell Evans was within a yard and a half, witness saw him. Mr Evans seemed to hesitate, the bicycle wriggled, and the collision ensued. The plaintiff had taken a. big swerve, and had got. out of his proper road, bee a use the collision occurred really in Ruthin-road, and not in Vale-street,, where Mr Evans would have been on his proper side. Tho engine of the oar' was not in motion at the time, and the chauffeur was about to stop in order to alight, and set the engine going. When the collision took place, he saw Mr Evans putti-rig his fout through the bicycle's wheel spokes, and he also made a grab at the motor lamp, and daniapvd it. In his opinion the cause of the accident was that Mr Evans must have misjudged the speed of the motor. After the collision, he did all lie oould for the plaintiff. David Griffith Davies, the chauffeur, also gave evidenoe. At this stage the ease was adjourned to the Ruthin Court, his Honour having sat from ten a.m. to seven p.m.
