-A TRIBUTE TO BARMOUTH.
A TRIBUTE TO BARMOUTH. Is Barmouth a nice seaside resort for a holiday ? I bear someone asking, Listen, while I tell yon what I think. Barmouth with its fine air, its beautiful ever changing light and shade, its soul inspiring walks, its scenery, its moun- tains, the wine-like air of the hills, dazzles the eye at every turn. It is all so lovely that pen cannot attempt to put into words all its beauties. Tis just a land of valleys decked with numerous flowers, The mountain side alive with pretty heather bowers, With fir trees standing still in silent clump, Sheltered sometimes by yonder moun- tain bump. 'Tis just a land of hills and mountains high, Mountains that almost seem to touch the sky, With valleys snuggling near her rough hewn side Where peace and quietness reign, where stream doth glide. 'Tis just a land where water-falls both great and small Flow on, flow down, to quench the travellers thirst, Then comes a torrent with a mighty noisy burst 0.0, on it goes to swell some tiny sparkl- ing fall. 'Tis just aland of walks, of pure delight, Nothing to mar, nothing to hurt the human sight, Clouds rest on mountains, colour up the laughing stream, Making the walker, watcher, dream sweet Nature's dream, 'Tis just the land for free unfettered dreams, There shines the sun embraced by friendly beams, 'Tis just the land for Nature's lovely flowe rs Growing and dreaming in their wild sweet bowers. 'Tis still to me a vast all lovely dream, Nothing to pierce the air, except per- chance a scream From bird on wing, who calls aloud for mate Then sinks exhausted wings all ruffled on yonder gate.

PUBLISHED IN THE ADVERTISER, DID YOU SEE IT ? I Five yea.1S ago a Barmouth resident made a statement which was published in our local paper, and which aroused great interest, not only here, but for many miles around. Our readers will, we are sure, be gratified to know that the facts are enthusiastically endorsed to-day—years after. I On January 30th. 1909, Mr. H. Roberts of Glan-y-Llyn Temperance Hotel, Bar- mouth said :—Some time ago I was suf- fering from heavy, dragging pains in my back and a general feeling-of lassitude and wearness. There were also other troubles which proved to me that my kidneys were not acting properly. "After trying various medicines, none of which seemed to do me any good, I was induced to take Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. I am pleased to say that they did me more good than anything I bad previously used, and from that time to this I have never bad any serious sign of the complaint. I beartidly recommend Doan's Pills to anyone who is troubled as I was. (Signed) H. Roberts." On February 3rd. 1914, over five years later, Mr Roberts said —" Doan's Pills I think are splendid for backache troubles, and I recommend tfiem to any I hear complaining of Kidney troubles. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills relieve congestion and inflamation of the kid- neys, and promote a free flow from the bladder, so the uric acid poison which causes rheumatism, backache, gravel, urinary disorders, and so many other complaints is flushed out of the system. Price 2/9 a box; 6 boxes, 13/9 of all dealers, or from Foster-Mc Clellan Co., 8, Wells St., Oxford St., London, W' Don't ask for Backache and Kidney Pills-ask distinctly for Doan's Back- ache Kidney Pills the same as Mr. Eoberts had.
BARMOUTH.'

Accident.—On Friday afternoon a lady visitor was struck down by a passing float and sustained serious injuries, Sunday Singing.- On Sunday evening hundreds of visitors were delighted with the singing of the Male Voice Choir on the Marine Parade. Motor Accident.-On "Saturday after- noon a motor car collided with a bay- window of a bouse in Marine Road and did some damage luckily no one was in- jured. The moter car was very much damaged. Wesleyan Chapel.On Sunday last, morning and evening, the Rev. Gwyn- fryn Jones preached a powerful sermon at this chapel to a crowded and appre- ciative congregation. At the morning service Mr Evan Richards, Whitfield House, rendered a solo, while at the evening service Miss Annie Williams, Marine House, sang a sacred solo. Organ Recital.—To-night (Thursday) at 8 p.m. an organ recital will be given at S. John's Church by Mr W. H. Pyemont. A Noted Preacher.- The Reverend R. E. Davies, M.A., of Knot Church, Dunedin, New Zealand, will occupy the pulpud of Christ Church, Beach Road Corner, next Sunday. Prayers for Peace.—A number of visitors met on Monday morning at the English Congregational Church to pray for the peace of Europe, for wisdom to our sensators in the terrible crisis. Visitors Service.—The above weekly service held at the English Congrega- tional Church on Wednesday evening last was conducted by members of the Lewisham Congregational Institute. The President (Mr L. Tompkins) con- ducted, while a very helpful address on Fellowship was given by Captain Hughes. » Bank Holiday.—The influx of visitors o the town for Bank Holiday has been a record, and all the houses and hotels were crowded to their utmost capacity. Many parties could not get accommo- dation, and some bad to sleep in the railway carriages over Saturday night. On Monday the town was crowded with trippers one large trip from Biaenau Festiniog bringing over 1,000 people in- to the town. Art Picture House.The animated pictures that are being shown at the Art Picture House this week are of unique excellence and a most delightful variety. The star picture was "The Curse of War." The star" piece for to-day (Thursday), Friday and Satur- day will be H In the grip of a villain," and is in every respect a most wonder- ful picture, produced only at the greatest expenditure of money, thought, and labour. All the other pictures to be shown, too, will deal with themes of interest and charm. Daily at 3 and 8 p.m. The Royal Magnetls.-Evidence of the undeniable popularity of the Royal Magnets is shown by the huge audiences that daily visit them and the keen ap- preciation and enthusiasm which is accorded the artistes. There is no doubt they fit the surroundings and know exactly what a Barmouth audience wants, and they spare no effort to sup ply that want. Their programmes are as varied and entertaining as they can possibly be, always touching the right note, to the evident delight of their numerous admirers. The excellence of their work; the pleasure they give their artistic methods, all of which is so characteristic of the Royal Magnets, is rigidly maintained as in years past, and that is what has built up their popu- larity and made them part and parcel of Barmouth. They will give a grand open-air concert to-morrow (Friday) evening, Aug. 7tb, when an attractive and up-to-date programme will be pre- sented, concLuding with a screaming absurdity. If wet, the concert will take place in the assembly Rooms. Marvellous Entertainments.—Never before has Barmouth been visited by so many holiday-makera. On Saturday night last, a party in dire despair offered five pounds for a bedroom, which could not be found for love or money. There are several reasons that account for this extraordinary influx of visitors. The weather, on the whole has bsen most favourable, brilliant sunshine prevailing for about 14 hours most days. The war cloud has at present prevented large number of plpasure seekers from going on the Continent. The efforts of the Adver- tising Committee to bring the advan- tages of Barmouth and district to the notice of English holiday makers are bearing fruit. Another factor that has told in favour of Barmouth is the pub- licity given to the place by Mr John Walters and Company, proprietors of the Art Picture Palace and Alfresco Pavi- lion. Mr Walters has during the win- ter, at great pains and expense, given prominence to our little town in his theatres and picture palaces in some of the great centres of population. The question that naturally follows is- How are visitors catered for when they do arrive" ? Motoring, coaching and boating are amusements for which Barmouth can claim a premier place among all the towns along the Welsh Coast. As to indoor amusements, here again, the town is under deep obligation to Mr John Walters. The Picture Palace is second to none along the Coast for accommodation and comfort, and some of the very best films yet executed are exhibited from time to time. The. Alfresco Company, under the management of Mr Waiter Paskin, how- ever, are the great attraction of the season, in the way of entertainments Not only is every member of the Com- pany an accomplished and talented ar- tiste, but their dancing novelties are a marvellous feat. The Spinette Quintette as they are designated, are composed of a group of two ladies and three men, The performances of these wonderful dancers is the most original and extraordinary act of skill and daring ever witnessed in the town. They, are the only party in the world, who, in a topsy-turvy position, at the same time revolving at a considerable speed, thrill the audience with their excellent dan- cing, all of which is done in perfect keeping with the music. Act alter act of this wonderful performance, each more exciting than the one before, fills the crowded housed which they so de- servedly get, with enthusiasm. To realise the skill and daring with which the performers accomplish their difficult task, one must pay a visit to the Alfresco Pavilion and be an eye witness of this new marvel. In order to give visitors and inhabi- tants of the surroundiug district an opportunity to attend various places of amusement in Barmouth, the Manage- ment of the Pavilion have, at great responsibility to themselves, made ar- rangements with the Cambrian Railway Company to run late trains—leaving Ba»'mouth at :10,30 each evening all through this month. It is to be hoped that advantage will be taken of the opportunity thus afforded, and that no one in the town or district will miss the chance of seeing this clever perfor- mance. To add to the pleasures of an evening at the Alfresco Pavilion, songs and duetts are given by Mr Ernest Har- greaves and Miss Bessie Hargreaves, both of whom are professionals with exquisite voices and are always received with tremendous applause.
