Mr Jones Williams I must obi^r to thnt. C iiitinuing, Mr Hughes said her mured to make a suggest ion that having regard to the unsatisfac- tory nature of the examination, it was not deairable to close ihe exainiiiHtion that day until tlie sons had been cross-examined., Th« necessity may not arise because certain negotiations were pending which would enable matters to bo cleared up. He suggested the examination should be adjourned tint die. Mr George said the trustee did net wish to prolong the matter any more but there was a matter which might render it necessary to accept his friend's suggestion. The trustee was not Satis- fied that the debtor had explained his deficiency n)od in the int" rests of the creditors it might not be desirable to close the examination finally. He was not iu a position to oppose the suggestion of Mr Hushes to adjourn the examination sine die The Registrar said th examination had taken Up an exceptionally long tim9 nod every oppor- tunity had been given to Mr Davies to explain different things but to his rninri be had absolutely failed to do so. They won id have to adjour n it,. He asked Mr Jores Williams whether they could explain certain matters, if so they could adjourn the examination for seven days. The Registrar udjourned the examination sine die SEQUEL TO BREACH OF PROMISE. The next case was the adiOlnJeô examination of John Jones, Gorswen.— Mr W P Own? appfared for the principal creditor, Miss Mary Williams, who had sued debtor for breach of promise. Debtor was questioned by 1L Owen as to whether he had any furniture when at Rhiwfelen. Deb or rep'ied that he had and that the whole was given to his sister, Asked why it was given to her, debtor replied that ho had no place to take it. He denied that the furniture was his at the present time; she was to have it after her mother. He took a clock from Rhiwfelen to Gars. wen. He admitted it was his and that i WIJS now at BYonfoel, where he had been for about a fortnight-. Debtor was questioned as to whether Fror.foel had \)'wn stocked and Debtor replied that it ht.d not. He was then looking after i he place for Mr Jones, Tre-feolin, and be did not- know when the furm would ie stocked. He got 8-- a week for loi king after the place. Debtor admitted taking no nooice of the writ which wan served upon him, nor of anything else, for be had nothing to pay. Mr Owens said he had not tried to pay, whereupon Debtor said ha would have pniu if he had the tnonpv Debtor was farther qn' n tioneri respecting £ 88 which was withdrawn from th<» National Provincial Bank in September 29th, 1906, in the joint namtJ of his sister. Debtor said be only ownt-d C40 of this amount, and he paid certain do tp. Mr Ow n asked that the examination should be adjourned sine die. Mr Hugh Hngl-.es (for debtor) said be could not object. He had certain questions to ask Debtor which would give a different light on the matter, but he would leave them for the present. Th" Official Receiver (Mr Herbert Thomas) said it would be be<t«r for Mr Hughes to question the debtor that day and Mr Hughas complied. Answering Mr Hugnes, debtor said ho kept no accounts and couid only write his name The particulars he had given were the best he could furnish. With the exception of the clock hfl had no furniture at any time at Rhosfawr. The furni ture belonged t.o Iris far her and mother and wan given to his sister as a gift. Tho sum. of £ 88 was a, paid into the Bank in their joint names on September 27ih, 1906, and was withdrawn two days later. He owned £ 40 and this went; to pay debts. He left Rhosfawr because he had notice to leave. WheH ho left, in September 1906 there were no proceedings of any kind threatened against him by MisB Williams. She had affiliated a child to him four years previous to that and he pH.id what was du, under thut order until the child's death. The Registrar said the bankrupt had not at all satisfied him, hiB answers being most utifcaiifcfac tory. Debtor was further questioned by Mr Hughes. When he went to Rhosfawr about 1896, he sent for his s-ister to assist him to carry on the place. She was in servict) at thht time with the Vicar of Llanychaiarn.

He did not know that the big doors were left unlocked to enable a rural postman to get in to feed his horse. He went to Penarth on the following Wedncsdav, but refused to say what was his business.

A very enjoyable bog-ev competition, open to members of this club, took place on Saturday. The prizes, which were presented by Mr and Mrs Rogers, of Montgomery, consisted of a handsome silver hot water jug a.s gentlemen's prize, and (Ul equally liandeome silver mounted fruit dish as ladies' prize. The latter was car- ried -off by Mrs Marshall, Eastville. handicap 18, 5 down and the former by Mr Shaw, who, with a card showing 3 down, on a, handicap of 8 was tan easy winner. Mrs Wynn Jones and Mr Rogers, with 7 and 4 down respectively, won the sweepstakes for the ,second best cards. The general play was much below the usual stand- ard,the course and greens W2ol"e 'never in better order, .and as there was little or no wind no ex- cuse can be found in these respects. Hearty thanks are due to Mr a.nd Mrs, Rogers for their gifts. Perhaps some time in the near future there will arise othersi who. will follow their and Mrs Priee-Davi.es' generous examples. The 12 monthly competitions will be completed on the 31st December and the prize fund at present amounts to over P-5. Only the winners of a competition, will be eligible to compete in the tournament which will be started during Janu- ary. As there will be an. entrance1 fee of half- ■a-crown, the committee hope to be able to give some really handsome prizes. Finally, but not least by any means, the energy and .genial abili- ty of the lion, see., Mr S. Knowles, is answerable mainly for the wonderful success of this cham- pion village club. WELSHPOOL. The alteration of the course is 'now an accom- plished fact, and is thought by most of those who have- already tried it to be a great improve- ment. It is to, be hoped that improved te.M will soon be provided. A match was fixed for here to-day against, Newtown, but has had for various reasons to be postponed. DULL PUTTING. Probably there is no feat of skill in the whole world which is so dull to watch as, putting. No- body outside a lunatic asylum would deliberate- ly watch another man putting for 10 minutes on end. But when there are two men engaged in it, and the match, depends on the result it can be as exciting -as Jessop's batting of the last over on a sticky 'wicket. A crowd .of 2,000 people will hang breathless on it, and be,, in fact, more interested .by the side of the putting green than in watching the other details of the play.— "The Graphic." DRIVE STRAIGHT. The 'text-books on the game ten us that to hook and slice at will—the at will is im- portant—is to surmount the last rung of the ladder—is in fact the ne plus ultra of the game. It may be, .only may be. We all of us know men who can generally get the draw or the slice on when they wish to in varying, and, to say the least of it, in uncertain degrees; still, what they get are pulls and .slices. But, t11,en, they are always p'laying either for the one -or the other, and never for the genuine un- adulterated golden mean. Now, it should be borne in mind that the Vardons and the Taylors who write such words of wisdom as that the golfer attains to perfection only when, he is able to. pull and slice, as he desires, presuppose that before s-uch proficiency is reached the play- er's ability to drive a straight ball, at will, LT undoubted. A careful study of the play at any first class amateur meeting—say, the champion- ship or tho St. George's vaSk:) competition—will convince anyone that the straight drive is a. dis- tinct exception.. Of the tee shots requiring simply to be played, right down the centre of the course, not more than, 20 per cent, fly ,i t r.- e, straight. About 60 per cent, will have a swerve most of them a decided-swerve to the left, while the remaining 20 per cent, will curve in vary- ing degrees beautifully to the right. At last, year's championship ,at Sandwich—so far a.s. I am able to speak, and I followed a, great many players during the week—the highest number of straight drives in succession by any one, player was five. They were made by Mr Vivian Pollock, who perhaps, (bears the greatest, repu- tation of the day for straightness. off the tee when in top form. It, is ,a great and soul-satis- fying achievement to beaible to work the weath- er to your advantage fimfc by means of a hook, and then by the ire of a- slice, as do the Hoy- lake "cracks" at such holes as number one and six of their course. But for the player still groping his way with nome uncertainty in the direction of the scratch mark, it will prove of infinite more gain to him in the long run to. learn first to drive, say, four balls out of ten dead .straight. To do s-o is 11% much more diffi- cult task than to. pull or slice the same number of balle intentionally.

Obstruction on Corris Railway. PRISONERS fklsrHA PfiEn At the Machynlleth, Police Court on Satur- day morning,, before Messrs. R. Rees and T. R. Morgan, Arthur Griffiths .and William Grif- fiths, basket makers of Coedpoeth, were brought up on remand amd c'iiarged on suspicion of hav- ing placed a slab truck on the main line- of tho Corris- Railway on the previous Tuesday night, The truck was found on the line on the follow- ing day by a quarryman on his way to work .:1t Llwvngwen, and the necessary steps were taken to warn, the driver of .the early .mail train. Alongside the truck was found a candle, and inquiries 'by the police, elicited the fact, that these men—the first named of whom i6, married with a wife and two children — bought two candles at the shop of Mr J. M. Breeze and were seen leaving the town about .11 ,p.m. under tlie m1iu.ence of drink. Th-ey proceeded, it In supposed, along the railway, crossing the river by the bridge on their way to the building in. which the family were staying. Mr D. Evans (clerk) aeked if there was any further evidence to offer Oij' behalf of the Rail- way Company.—Mr Sullivan, (general manager) said a portion of a newspaper lmd been picked up en the spot.—P.S. Davies said he had shown the piece of newspaper to Mr Breeze, but that gentleman could not identify it. The accused were questioned by the clerk, and Arthur admitted having been in trouble at Llandudno. Rhyl, and Bangor. They were ask- ed if they had .anything to say, and the elder prisoner said that, "thanks be to God he was innocent of the charge," and if they let him go would never come" back. He did" not wish to part with his little children whom lie loved. The Chairman This is a very serious charge and a very suspicious case. According to your own admissionis: you have a bad record. Prisoner: Thank God it is not too late to mend. The Chairman But we don't, consider the evi- dence strong enough to convict, .and you are discharged. The Clerk You had better go at once. P.S. Davies: Yes, or they will be wanted on another charge. There were a lot of potato peelings in the building and they have been hanging round here poaching. The wife said the potatoes were. given to her, and prisoner said lie would sell the dog.

Welsh Senior Cup. ABERYSTWYTH v. MONTGOMERY. These teams met on the Smithneld Athletic Ground Aberystwyth, on Saturday, in the fift-sr round of the Welsh Senior Cup. The attend- ance was nob so large as in previous matches this season. The referee was Mr Tom Evans, Newtown, and the teenw were .as follows1: — Aberystwyth: R. Crowther; Eddie Hughes aad Oswald Green; T. Rees., Thomas, and Evan Jones; Tom James, Joiii, Jones, Peter Ed- wards, Jack Jones, and Pop Wright. Montgomery: Beavan; Mourbv and Lewis; C. P. Dovies, C. J. Watkins, awl F. Williams T. Rees, Rowlands, Tanner, Harries, and E R Morris. The linesmen were Messrs Oswald James and Withers. The homesters kicked off and for a consider- able time play was confined to midfield, a couple of fr-eoekicks bei rig awarded against each side. For the first 15 minutes Montgomery played only ten men. but they kept their own against the nippy quintette. The first goal for .Aberystwyth came from a free kick, one of their opponent having handled the ball dangerously near -tht penalty area. Oswald Green nicely placed the kick for John Jones to score. The visitors pressed for some time; but at, length Aberystwyth retaliated, and the visitors got an anxious time. A combined run ,and some pretty passing by the home quintette in 'which all par- ticipated, ended in Jack Jones scoring No. 2. Aberystwyth continued to press, but there was no further scoring., and the teams crossed over with Aberystwyth leading by two goals to nil. The second half saw the complete, downfall of the visitors, for right from the kick off Peter Edwards scored. This was immediately follow, ed by another from the foot of John Jones. The visitors attacked, but they were weak in front. of .goal. Then. Tom, James made one of his sprints, and sending in a. n'ne centre availed Jack Jones the opportunity of registering the fifth goal. Goals were 'again scored by Peter Edwards (2) and John Jones. The "visitors were outplayed in all departments, and time came with Aberystwyth victorious by eight goals to nil.
