ROCK CLTMBIN G IN SNOWDONIA. ASCENT OF THE "DEVIU'.S KITCHEN." (From a Correspondent.) The awe-inspiring rocks of Twil Du affords unlimited scope for the hardy cragsman, and many futile attempts have been made to scale the walls of this huge buttress. The cliniter seldom penetrates further than the top of the great slab, perhaps his only consolation being that he gets a very unique view of the situation. The Twil Du (i.e., Black Pit), commonly called the "DeviPs Kitchen," is a huge chasm in thb line of cliff which faces the head of Lake Idwil, at an altitude of 500 feet on the south-west, being a northerly continuation of the imposing mountain of Glydcr Fawr. The climb is pro- nounced by experts to be a feat, and is possibly the most remarkable bit of rockwork in wild Snowdonia. The side walls are perpendicular, and spring to the height of 400 feet. The en- trance to the Kitchen is wide and straight., in shape resembling a trough, and slopes gently downwards towards Benglog. Within the chasm the gradient increases but the slope finally steepens to a severe angle, and the evidence of falling water makes it untenantable. The ascent of the "Devil's Kitchen" was made by Mr E. H. Ashforth, Scholes, Rotherham (for- merly of Llandudno), and Mr J. W. Eastham, Mr F. Price, and Mr T. W. Stevenson, London, on Tuesday. The climbers started from Benglog, being the favourite rendezvous for climbing thd Glyders, and reviewing the "Devil's. Kitchen." The route on the western side of Llyn Idwal was chosen to reach the entrance to Twil Du. 'n arriving at the trough, the great fissure presentod a grand spectacle. After surveying the gable, the line of advance was decided upon, and the climb consisted principally of a series of pitches or jammed rocks, which penetrate into the heart of the chasm. After several hours' work tho party reached the great slab. At this juncture the ropes were brought into requisition, and thoso had to be carefully manipulated. The climb to the top of the wedge-shaped slab was a perilous operation, but it recompensed the climbers with a capital view of the buttress. There are, however, two possible lines of ad- vance. Both are on the left hand wall, one well in under the colossal capstone, which hangs 50 feet overhead, and the other outside, nearlv op- posite the great slab. The last pitch waa perilous and difficult, and it is composed of a vertical wdl of gigantic proportions, over which a stream flows, and makes an unbroken leap of 60 feet to a pool or tarn below. The passage above the final pitch continues at an easy angle, eventually opening upon the little plateau where Llyn y Cwm Cynofiau is situated. The ascent from start to finish was full of ex- citement and lurking danger, as any false move- ment would have landed the climbers into the gaping chasm. Undoubtedly, the last few feet of the gable was the most dangerous, owing to a capped block of rock. The climbers having surmounted the last men- tioned obstacle, sallied forth upon a plateau, which terminated a big climb. The view from this headland included the Nant Ffrancon (Vale of the Beavers), and there is no finer scene of its kind in Wales. The vale is an amphi-theatre of steep and rugged mountains, scarred by tor- rents and broken by jagged splintered rocks, witi a feebly cultivated strath at their base. A feel- ing akin to awe comes over one witnessing such grandeur. Indeed, Nant Ffrancon is the Glencoe of Wales, and its impressiveness, like that of Glencoe, is only fully felt when its summits are made indistinct by mist, or when scudding clouds are running riot amidst the fantastic reek outlines which they both veil and magnify. Across the pass are the mountains of Carnedd Llewelyn, Carnedd Dafvdd, Tryfan, Moel Fammau, and the Clwydian Range. The fine peak of Moel Siabod, Cynicht, Moelwyn, and close at hand the peaks, combes, and cliffs of Snowdon were included in th" nnnnrnma

BANDS OF MERCY. MEETING AT PENMAENMAWR. On Friday a garden p-arty waa besld in tie grounds of Pias Coah, Penmaenmawr, by Dr. ana Mrs Morrish, with the object of efciamiLa-ting ^cal interest in the "Bands of Mercy." Sir lipomas MarahaLl CB., who presided, explained Bands of Mercy" were fMsociations in- stituted m elementary school to teaoh the child- ton with the Soosety for Prevention of CkueJty to Umdren. Cnildren wore not nafflur- <x>^™ry, thej- wore more in- clined to be kind, and if taught to be kiad whon ycfimg it was likely that they would cany tie slme principles through Mfe. w«> 21 bandis in Anglesey. 19 in Camarvxm, three in Merioneth, and one m Conway. He wanted the ladaes preset to keep an eye on the local Bands of Mercy. Sir Thomas acknowledged gratefu'ly tho sej-vioee of schoolmasters who ieotz-jtrod on the iSibject to tbeia* school ohaldreai. The Rev. G. Mathews, vicar of Penmaen- maw-x, said he often connected certain things with certain people he knew, and he always con- nected kindness to animals with Mrs Morrish to whom they ail owed a great daai for aJJ slie bps done to tiis cause. He had not been in the parish Aong- before Mrs Mosrish caOed at his hor", intimating that if he did not believe in and sympathise with Bands of Mercy, she wouid think of leaving- the church and beoomins- a B^d-tfeist (hau^K^r). Luckily, the viar did^be- have in them (hear, hear). Thoro was no re- port to read, but he wanted to acknowledge oetr tain subscriptions received. Mr Rdberlli, hoa<iu:aster of the Council School, remariied thc^c school teachers oould get hold of the ohiMnen when it was uselees to trv to infln emco a grown up man. He agreed with Sir Thomas that a child was not cru.cl by mature but it we.5 thoughtless. He believed they oouW look forward hopefully to the future.. Some day crueity to anima.s woujd disappeao- alL togother, and that would be due to thre week done by the Bands of Mercy. He had been connected with the Bands of Mercy f<y ten years, and some Tx-opie told him it wvw only a "waste of time." He wouBd give an iilustration in answer to tha.t. Most boys were fond of robhing birds' nosts, but lai-t year there was a nast in tlie p'ay^rouiwl at tiie school, and this year there had been two. He told the boys that the nests were in the playground, and consequently that they bellonged to them, and that they must guard t-hecrn. Not an egg was tcruch-sd, and the birds brought up their vOIUng in safety (appJamse). MT Evil, of Danfan-fecihan, the Rev. H. W. Barns, and Mr Kneeshaw also spoke. Mr Knee- rfiaw said he hoped that Bands of Mercy would be instituted in hj^fher grade schools as well as elementary sahools. On the motion of Srr Tliomas Mairshall, oord- sal thanks were offered r. and Mrs Morrisfo, who had provided tea.

Exciting scenes were witnessed on Pen- maenmawr Promenade, oil Thursday morning. Visitors were alarmed on observing the small sailing yacht "Lizzie" lurch and sink about three-quarters of a mile from the shore. The yacht belonged to Mr Williams, who was giving a trial run preparatory to the local regatta. It was occupied by Mr Wil- liams, Robert Jones, and a youth naIDÐd Wil- liam Lister, a visitor from Wigan. Richard Roberts, Thomaa Jones, W. Ro- berts, and R. F. Roberts, local boatmen, were the first to raise the alarm, and jumping into a boat rowed at once to the scone of the disaster. Here they found two of the party-Williams and Jones-clinging to an- other boat, which happened to be riding at anchor near bv, and Lister they pulled out of the water in th-e nick of time. They ap- plied artificial respiration to the latter, who was unconscious when lifted into the boat, and the lad soon came round. The other two men were none the worse for their dip- 1. ping- THE URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. A special meeting of the I'ennic.eiunawr Urban District Council was held yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, when the chairman (Mr P. H. McCleiment) presided. There were also pre- sent :-Dr. J. R. Williams, Messrs David Jones, R. D. Jonec, Thomas Roberto, S. Williams, Col. C. II. Darbishire, J. H. Hickson, D. Gordon Jones, the Clerk (Mr T. E. Parry) and the Sur- veyor (MrJ R. John Hughes). Considerable discussion took place upon the question of bailing upon tho beach at Penmaen- mawr. It appears that a certain person pays rent to the Council for the right of a certain portion, of the beach for stationing1 his bathing vans for hire. He recently complained that largo i-unil-ais of peopte went down on to the baach, and undressed on the sands, within the area which he rents from. the Council, and so bathed free of charge. This took place in tho early morning. The Chairman remarked that he had: personally seen these people bathing without *asmg the vans arid he thought that for every one person who bathed from a van, about five or six persons bathed without vans. He had seen as rnanv as sixty people bathing without vans at 7 a.m. Poceedin.g, Mr McClement pointed out that it was hardly worth the while to open a bathing business down on the shore if this was allowed. At one time, the Council had protected the fore- shore. £ 15 was paid per annum as rent for the office, together with an additional 25 for rates, and 2s bd for every bathing van. He also ex- plained t.h.a.t there might bo a little fault on both sides, as perhaps tiho bathing vans were left too far from the water. He thought 'that the men ought to be down at 6 a.m. to see to the. vans. It was, however, their duty as a Council to pro- toot these men within the limit; that was, from the distant signal post on the east side, and also on the other siife of Mr Darbishire's jetty, where mixed bathing took place Mr R. D. Jones asked) if Mr Jos. Jones paid a.ny increased rent when he was allowed; to place his vans on the west side of the pier, Mr R. John Hughes: His rent was increased two years igo. Mr R. D. JoiKs: Was it on that Mr Hughes: I cannot say. Mr It. D. Jones went on to say that they had the visitors to consider, and many oi them pre- ferred bathing from the sands or using a, tent, to using a. van. The Chairman remarked that they ought to define the boundaries of the free bathing. Mr Hiokson remarked that there were many peopLo who would not go in a bathing van, but who would bathe from tents. Mr R. D. Jones added that if they were going to tie sfuoh visitors down, they were not likely to come to Pefnmaeramawr again. Mr Joseph Jones now appearedl before the Council, and in reply to enquiries made by the chairman and other members, Jones stated that the signal post which marKcd' the east side was about a 100 yardis from too end! of the pro- menade. The matter was further discussed after Jones I had retired, Mr Gordon Jones pointing out that the people who lived in tiOO district objected to I seeing people undressing on the beach. It was illtimately decided that free bathing be only allowed outside Dyffryn, 60 yards beyond the end of the promenade, and that notioas be fixed up to that effect. Also that Mr Jos. Jonea be entitled to charge Is per week for fients picl»d within tho area which ho rented, the area to bo definitely defined by the erection of posts and not iocs.
