The illustra- ted lecture by Mr Oliver G. Pike. F.Z.S.. F.R.P.S., on "Iii Birdland with 11 Camera," was listened to with marked attention. The lec-turer took his audience to the haunts and homes of many British birds, and in passing remarked ihat if the youths of the. country were to devote as much time to studying the habits of birds as they did in finding a»id destroying t'nv r nests and; eggs they would fmdboth plea- I sure and education. TtM lecture was full of I in re rest, and it is to be. regretted that there wa? not a crowded audience.

ST. ASAPH PAHISH COUNCIL Tie monthly meeting was held on Tuesday, wnen there were present: Messrs John Lothian (chairman), S. 1). Thomas, \V. C'aradoc Roberts. a.id J. Emrys Jones, wiJi the Clerk (Mr G. O. Williams). PROPOED Mr S. D. Tnoinas rrported that a. conferHice of lcpraxsnxawves of the Parish Council, the Rural District Ccuuoil and the County Council had taken piaoe ia regard to the question of improving the approach to Lower-street from tile Eiw-y Pridge. All that the corner was a very awkward one, and that the road was very narrow, but he was afraid that the Rural District Councillors were not very favourable to any expenditure of money thereon at present. One suggestion put forward was that the church- yard wall should be sev baok a little. The Par- ish Council representatives, however, advocated tll", cutting away of the corner by the* bridge. The Chairman said it was a most dangerous cor.ier a veritable child trao-and, he had him- felf seen children badly knocked about there. Pncy had better, however, not do a-nytlun^ until they knew the outcome of the1 deliberations of ilik, Rural District Council on the matter. I hey had also to reckon with the County Coun- cil. The matter was deferred. TIIE SEWERAGE WORKS. ll' W. CaradOc Roberts, as a member of the committee appointed 10 make an inspection, of the sewerage works across the river Elwv, re- ported that a good start had been made with the sc.iieuK3 for oonty-oili-.ig the flow of the river. lie thought, however, that something more than the construction of breakwaters should be done, or there would be trouble- with the pipe line. The Chairman said he thought, the ttuee breakwaters which were being constructed would allord ample projection for the p;po line. He adoc-a that the deadlock with which they were roItfronioo a moniti ago had been removed, and he hoped that everything would now go on smoothly. He did not. think that the work being doac would cost anything like the £ 60 orijCx- nally estimated and a.gne^xl to. A third would be borne by each, of the three parties interested The Lcelos.a-itical Commissioners, the Bodel- wyddan Estate, and the parish. A GENERAL HOLIDAY. A discussion took place upon the movemant, for having a general holiday for North Wales on Wednesday, October 5Ji. the Chairman said he had seen most of tli- tradospeoplo of the city on the subject, and thev all seemed di^ossd to fall into line with Rhvi, Liandudno, Prestatyn and othor places in obscr\ ing ilie da.tz- mcr!ti()n a a. holi- day. The Railway Company, he understood, were arranging various excursions for that. date, and were ready to include St. Asaph in their cheap-bookings list. On the motion of Mr J. Emrvs Jones it was •agroad to suprjort flie movement and to issue notices requesting that places of business be Cioso] on OCl,ober 5th. THE COMMON. Mr S. 1). Thomas said he noticed that the Grass on the Corrrmon had bean cut, and as a meinDer of tlse Common Committee- ho would like to know by whose instructions the work was done. The Clerk said: h.? arranged for the work to be done. It had generally been lef-c, to hilni to see to it when it was necessary, and he did not think it was such as to warrant the summoeiin"' of the Common Ooyimittee. ° Mr S. D. Thomas said he acx?epted the ex- planation of the Clerk, but he objected' to any- one taking out of the hands of a committee any work which had beeu delegated to that commit- tee.

FLINTSHIRE FARM FIRE. EXCITING SCENE AT HOLYWELL. In the early hturs of Tuesday morning a de- structive fire occurred at Springhill Farm, Holy- well, in the tenancy of Thomas Foulkes, and on the estate of Sir Pyers Mostyn, Bart., Talacre. It appears that on the previous duy one of the stacks in the stackyard showed symDtoms ot fire, but tculkes thought he had stamped it out. At four o clock on Tuesday morning, however, an alarm was again given, and it was found that two or three stacks were alight. The Holywell tire Brigade was summoned, and speedily ar- rived, and got to work with water from a small pond by the farmyard. The whole of the horses, cattle, pigs, etc., were got out of the buildings with safety. Two stacks were saved by the exer- tions of those pres fit, but five or six of hay, wheat, and oats were totally' destroyed. The fire also extended to the carthouse and lofts above, and these also were destroyed; but a large ad- joining barn full of hay was saved, and the flames were niso prevented extending to the house. At half-past seven Lord Mostyn's private fire bri- gade arrived, and rendered much assistance. The damage is probably about 1;700 to £ 800.

NEW WELSH WESLEYAN CHAPEL FOR RHUDDLAN. BAZAAR AT RHYL. I -in With the objoct of raising money towards de- fraying the cost of building a new Welsh Wes- ley an Chapel a.i.

A handsome littio chapel has now been erected, the cosb of which, with the adjoining sehoo-.room, ii300.

Jones, and Joseph Owen; Messrs John Hughes (Elwy Hour-o), Rob*. Jones (Prestatyn), Robt. G-riflitlis (R.lraddTan). John Roberts (Rhuddlan). Peter Ellis (PrestaTyn), and Richard Jones (Prestatyn). The Rev. Tryfan Jones, in introducing Coun- cillor E. Buckley Jones, explained the object of the l«.y.aar, and made an appeal for help over the work the committee had in hand. Councillor E. Buckley Jo ties, before declar- ing the bazaar Open, said that although he was not a member of the Wesleyun Mcthodi-t deno- mination, he readily complied with the request to perfonn the ceremony, as ho was a great ad- mirer of the Wesleyan denomination, for he re- cognised the high place it held, and the influence for good which it exercised, in the community. It was his with that the bazaar should be a great eucoess, as it object was one which would readily appeal- to all true believers in the bene- fits conferred by the denomination on the whole world. During the past two centuries We ley un Method j m had been one of the most ene rgetic and most successful agencies for the .support and furtherance of the Gospel, and it deserved the support and help of all Christians. Tho object of tho bazaar wa.s to re-build the chap,el at Rhudd- lan, which p!:lc'C .oemed to have taken a, fresh lease of life, and was regaining the lustre which at one trine was attached to it. Foresight a.nd energy were characteristic of the Connexion, and they were preparing ÚJI the future growth of Riiuddlan, which was bound to mcieae.-e in popu- lation and importance. This progressive move- ment on the part of the \1':111 body and their go-aheadnei.s should be a stimulus aaid example to other Christian bodies. One of the things which he had always admired in Wesleyanivra was its splendid organisation. He felt that they had inherited the power of organisation wh v:h had marked the founder of their denomination, the Rev. John Wesley. wh(,,<, work had been of tho greatest benefit to mankind. He hoped that the object of that bazaar would be triumphantly achieved. In order to set the ball rolling h" I had pleasure in handing the Rev. Trylan Jones a small donation. ion. The Rev. Tryfan Jones thanked Councillor E. Buckley Jones for the kind words he had said, and arrnouneed that he had received from him a cheque for £ 5 (applause). In proposing thanks TO Councillor E. Buckley Jones, Mr Robert Jones (Prestatyn.) said it was true, that that gentleman was nor, a member of the Wesley till Methodist denomination, but from what he knew of him he felt ,ure he would not have to suffer pen;anee on that account (laugh-tor).. Mr Buckley Jones took an interest in the social and religious life of Wales, and was a. worthy eon of a worthy sire, as the 1 atø Mr E. P. Jones had always been ready to help any good cause. The Rev. R. Hughes seconded the. vote of thanks, and it was carried with applause. During the day nvusical and other entertain- m.ent3 weire provided, incLudin a |>orfor nance by Ap Harri, ventriloquist and mimic. The t-c eompaniste were Mrs Joffers. East. Parade; Owen, Water-street; Miss Ella Hughes. River.st.; and Miss Gertrude Jonet*. South A I'PHue. The bazaar was opened yesterday by Mr E. J. Yvilliams, Grange-road, who expressed the hope tliat the new chapel in Rhuddlan would be to future generations what t.he old one had be-on to generations in tho past A vote of thanka was/ |>aa->?d tot Mr Williams, on the proposition of the Rev. F. Jones, second- ed by Mr Robt. Griffiths.
