Mrs Henry Lloyd Mostyn, who was accorded a cordial reception, said, in declaring the exhibition open,: "I feel we owe a d-2bt of gratitudes to the promoters of this exhibition, the first held under the aus- pices of the Llandudno Field Club. Judging from tlii3 catalogue, it should be a most :n- tcresting one. The Field Gl ub is doing most valuable work, find not the least to my m.inJ is that it encourages hobbies (applause). Everyone, I think, is the better for having a hobby—a practical one,' and in cultivating any particular hobby our pastime and our happiness will grow (hear, hear). It has been said that th aim of the educated should be to know something of everything and everything c/f somethiiig. Cultivation ne.d not be for the elect, for the varied and deeply interesting subjects which are discussed in the report doubtless stimu- late and encourage your members to take up and zlKc'al*Liz-, lia )n,, or other of tii '(' subjects 1 0' (che(,i-5). Doe-s n t the study and research which your society promotes give a soul to the uni- er.se, wingd to the mind, flight to the imagina- tion, gaiety and life to everything? (applause). Ladies end gentlemen, T am bearing in mind tha itfco 'oJ} your exhibition catalogue is a bridle for checking the garrulous propensities of my sex (laughter). Therefore, I think the briefer my part of the ceremony the better, and it gives me the greatest pleasure to declare this exhibition open and to wish it every success (cheers).

Out of fifteen whose names appeared on tho list as rate defaulters, Mr Walter Wood (.acoo-imtant to t11>3 Llandudno ComiciJ) stated that fourteen had paid. The jus toes made the usual order against tho defenrlant in the swiitaxy case that came before them. At tihe previoua court the Bench wl-re divided in the opinion as to whether vhe police had rr/.de a successful case against Waiter Btoaumoint, .a member of th.* Llan- dudno Council, who was charged with per- mi,t?dr- drunkc?naL-e,?, oli -hiF, the -,vith (1-rL7ik t4) a s Head, and drunk,en person.

Morgan, one of the Liberal mem- bers of the Town Council to the aldermanic bench, which took place at the recent annual meeting of the Council created a vacancy, and a bye-election was promised. The nomination day was Friday, and two Conservative candi I dates were nominated, and one Liberal. The frst I Conservative candidate, Mr Edwa-rd Jones, Gan- nock Park, Deganwy, was nominated by the fol- lowing1 First paper, proposer, S. L. Norbury; seconder, T. S. ilockev; 2nd paper, proposer, n. H. Gi-ifnths, M.D., Deganwy; seconder, Waiter ITartlc. The second Conservative candidate, Mr Robert Johnson, baker, The Stores, Llandudno Junction, was proposed by T. O. Morgan and seconded by Robert W. Parr.

Thomas Hughrs; 2nd paper, proposer, Joseph Hooson; secor dor, Hugh Jones, Banger-road. On Saturday, however, both the Conservative can- didates withdrew, and Mr J. P. Griffiths was returned unopposed. It is understood that the reason the local Conservatives decided not to contest the seat- was that there are only an- other twelve months of Dr. Morgan's term of office yet remaining, so that there will be four liberal members of the present Council coming before the electorate at the next election.

NEXT TIME YOU FEEL "RUN DOWN." READ THIS CAREFULLY. It Tells you how to be Strong. A man with no spare strength behind him is like a house witih no foundation; both giive way at the first attack. A man in this state needs a health-giving food which will braoe him up and give the necessary fillip to his nervous system. Dr. Tibbie' Vi- Cocoa is just the tonic to do this. A cup of Vi-Cocoa at supper ensures a sound night's sleep, from which he will awake knowing that lie has rested. For giving stamina. and vig'our Vi-Coooa, which contains kola, cocoa, malt and hops, works wonders on a "run-down." constitution. Vi- Cocoa thus contains just those ingredients neces- sary to make and* keep you thoroughly healthy. Do not ask your grocer for cocoa. Ask for W4fCocoa —it makes all tlie difference. Every grocer sells Vi-Coooa ia 6d packets awl Sd and £ &d tins.
