COLWYN BAY v. CARNARVON. After having lost three mattches in the North Wales iCoaat League, Colwyn Bay were able last Saturday to make a draw in a hard fought game with Carnarvon. m The ibeams linfd out ae follows:—Carnar- von: G. H. Joines {goal), D. Hughes and £ [It. Jones (backs) J. Griffiths, R. Herbert, and J. Williams i(halves); R. H. Roberts, T. Roberts, Walter Jones, E. LI. Hughes. and J. Jones (forwards). Colwyn Bay (J. HaLwood (goal), W. Jones and H. Tonkin (backs); R. Rowlands, E. Griffiths, T. Wel.1ings (halves); J. LI. Owen, Walter Parry, T. McCann, Moss Jones and HQwell Williams (forwards). Directly the- ball was set rolling, Carnarvon made a dash towards their opponents goal, and Hallwood was called upon to save. End to end play was th^ order for a short time, both learns indulging in, long kicks. Carnarvon, however, had another display of a smart tbit of combination work, and Walter Jones touched tfop goal post with a nice shqfc. Determined to score Carnarvon fti/iin presfced, and the ball wae headed into tho nte1.. » it Soon after Colwyn Bay began to do some splendid play which was kept up for some (time; and, with a fine run, J. LI. Owen centered the ball to McCann, who put in a lightning shot which be&t (the Carnarvon custodian. till Encouraged by their last goal, Colwyn Bay repeated3(y gtqb fthe baJl 'into the front of their opponents* goal, and gained a coiner. This being well placed, Moss Jcnes 'touched the bail into ttasi not scoring number two for C,ol,A- Bay. mmm Tn the second half botih teams did well, Carnarvob, if anything, doing a little better work, although t:reat selfishness was shown at times on the part of the players in not dis- posing with the ball. Both goalkeepers were called upon to save good shots in quick succession. mum Carnarvon, however, obtained a corner, which was placed by Johnny Jones. Walter Jones receiving thei ball at hie foot, banged it into the net. # » The tattle for the lead now became keen, both teams putting some energy into the game. J. U. Owen with a good centre placed th8 ball to McCann who scored number 3 tor the home team. » it » Carnarvon again e-hinled, Johnnie Jones, Walter ones, and T. Roberts doing some fine work, through which Carnarvon were able to equalise. » » When almost on the itick of time, Hallwood made a slight mistake bv coming out of goal, Carnarvon at the time being on the point of scoring, J but, fortunately, the ball went a couple of inchet wide. The ,kine ended in a draw of 3 goals, both teams, which were evenly matched, having played w.ell on the wihole. With reference to Ithe Colwyn Bay v. Car- narvon match another correspondent writes:- The Colwyn! Bay match was an excellent game, and 'Carnarvon a^e to be heartily con- gratulated on bringing home a point. Owing to minor accidents they had again to put a depleted team on the field, playinc three reserves. It was a ding-dong game, and halt 9 time arrived with the score 2-2. Colwyn Bay took the lead early in the second, half, only to find Carnarvon equalising- again a~>d making splendid efforts to secure tthe full points. Carnarvon played' a very plucky game, and with a little ludk could have secured both1 points. Johnnie Jones and Lloyd Hugh-os played. a delightful game on the left, and completely baffled the opposition. Lloyd Hughes is a very promising player, and the Carnarvon Executive would do well to give him further trials. The veterans Tom Roberts and J. Griffith played- very well despite their many years' football. The backs were shaky but showed decided improvement towards the end of the game. G. H. Jones was in good iform and defended his fort well. Colwyn Bay played their strongest team of the season and promised well for future games. » • The on the Oval between Carnarvon Juciors and Llangefni was really enjoyable, and the juniors soon proved that they are very "hot stuff." Llangefni turned out a very strong side, including as it did, Stanley. Davies. the ex-Oxonian, and Hugh Jones, of the (Holyhead Swifts. » tit Both teams were very evenly matched at the start.. Carnarvon Scored first .fTom a penalty, R. Trevor Roberts ett.ng with a clinking shot. (Llangeifni soon equalised with a deceiving cross shot, which the custodian mis- j-udgeldand failed to touch. Bohanna gave Carnarvon the lead again with a beautiful shot, from long range. Half-time arrived with Car- narvon leading by 24. it The second half saw Carnarvon again press- Mg, and they soon added four more goals. Llangefni responded with another goal, and a pleasant game came to a finish with the scores 6-2 for Carnarvon, Carnarvon Juniors are a really 600.1 tenm, and ought to do well and go far in junior' matches. Th& forward's were all good. Bo- hanna .3,nd Trevor Roberts make a good wing, but both are guilty of selfishness. Land has an admirable command of the ball, but could do with more dash and push. John Jones is a very neat player and Ellis Williams improved considerably towards the end of the game, The halves were all good, especially Morton and 8,e'ttfle. /Lovell at back is a corning; player and deserves a trial with the seniors. Willie in; goal was splendid, and showed clearly how versatile a player he is. iOn Saturday the Juniors play Giroeslon on GlynIUfon Park. This ought to prove an in- teresting game and afford excellent practice to the Juniors, in view of their cup-tie at Pwll- heli on the 7th of, tNbvemibter. Play up, Juniors, you promise to be a very smart young team. The Seniors wiM entertain the famous "Varsity" team on the Oval. The students have carried all before them this season, and make no secret of their intentions to infliiet a very severe drubbing upon Carnarvon on Satur- day. We shall see what we shall see, but we believe that Carnarvon will be a very hard nut to crack on their own ground. The Varsity will include in their ranks W. ?.

WESLEYAMSM AT LLANDUDNO MEMORIAL COLOINS UNVEILED. INTERESTING STATEMENT BY COUNCILLOR T. W. GRIFFITH. On Thursday afterncon a very interesting ceremony was performed in connection with the new Welsh Wesleyan Chapel, which is in course of erection in Lloyd-street, Llandudno. The old (building was somewhat primitive in style, and lacking in proper ventilation; and in view of the fact that almost all the religious communities in the town were providing hand- somer and more up-to-date edifices, the friends at Ebenezer, after a. great deal of deliberation, decided to emulate their example and act on the principle advocated hy Mrs Lloyd-George of obtaining a more artistic home for the worship of God. A building committee with the Rev D. Gwynfryn Jones as chairman; Councillor T. W. Griffith as hon. treasurer. and Mr W. A. Evans as hon. secretary, was appointed, the remaining members of the committee being Messrs R. D. Owen, Thomas Davies, Henry Williams, Wm. Williams, Pierce Jones, Evan Hughes. :Evan Evans, W. O. Wiliams, and S. A. Bart-lev. 'The services of Mr Beddoe Rees, of Cardiff, were se-cutred as architect, and, eventually, the contract was jet to Mr Thomas G. Huxley, of Malpas. The new chapel is of particularly ornamental design, in the English Renaissance style of I architecture. It stands next to the new* Llan- dudno Town Hall, and harmonises well with that building!. Ifu the front 16 a wide pediment supported by the six Ionic columns. The roof is surmounted by a. Jofty dome. The dnterior comprises a. circular chapel, under the dome, the entrances being on either side of the pedi- ment, and two large classrooms and vestries being formed at the corresponding corners of the square structure. In the chapel there will be seating accommodation for 400 persons, and an organ chamber is formed at the rear of the chancel. The dome lis supported by iron columns, which will to some extent interrupt ) the view of the chancel from the chapel. The oereanony on Thursday was to unveil the four columns supporting the chancel walls in the chapel, and the six Ionic columns1 in the facade of the building. A temporary floor was erected, and the- congregation assembled in the new ednfice for the finst part of the ceremony. The Rev D. Gwynlfryn Jones (pastor) presided, and the devotional services were conducted by the Rev iPeteT Jones Roberts and the Rev Evan Hjughos. Councillor T. W. Griffith (treasurer) made a statement with regard to the financial position I of the building fund. With the organ, the chape j would cost £4650. Two or three years ago a successful bazaar was held, which real- ised L1000 net, and afbout a year ago, one Sun- day evening, which would long he remembered among them, the church members promised eubecxiptions amounting to a total of £1018, to be paid by instalments over a. period off three years (applause). Oif that aanount JB550 had already been paid (applause). The North Wales Chapel Committee of the Connexion had promised a loan of £900 free of interest for ten years, to be repaid bv annual instalments of J590. They also promised a froe grant of £ 450. If the i5unde allowed, they also hoped, to receive LMO from the Million Guinea Fund. That gave a total in hand or expected of J35663, leaving a deficiency of £9B2. A special ap- peal was made to all friends olf the cause to help in meeting this deficiency. He hoped that as the result of the ceremonies of that day end the service in the evening they would re- I ceive RWO, but the minister (Air Gwynfryn Jones) hoped that they would get JB300 (laugh- ter and applause). The Chairman said the chapel was one of the finest i{or its size—it was not a large on.e--in iNorth Wales*, and he hoped that the people of Llandudno would lend a helping hand, inas- much as the btzildiiis waa an adornment of the town (applause). The Rev Dr Hugh Jones, speaking in Welsh, reviewed the history of W&sleyanism at Llan- dudno. The first Wesleyan chapel was erected at Llandudno in 1835, at a cost of £400, and for some time afterwards the memai»rs had- con- siderable tTorible in finding! money to pay the interest on the loans. They, however, perse- vered, and in 1874 a chapel was erected on the present site, at a co-st c<f J32000. That day .9 they were unveilung the memorial columns of I, another new chapel- He desired to congratu- late the friends upon the excellent manner in which they had worked, and upon their pro- spects of clearing the remaining debt (ap- plause). The 'Rev Thomas Hughes Liverpool, ex-pre- sident of the Wesleyan Assembly, also gave a short address describing the new chapel as adding to the beauty of the architecture of the town. The four columns in the chapel were unveiled' by Mrs W. IT. Jones, wife of the chairman of the Uriban District Council; Miss Nellie Evans ((Evans' Private Hotel), in memory of her father (the late Mr Wm. Evans) Miss Gwyn- et-h IBartley, in memory of her grandfather; and Mr T. C. Lewis, off Conway. After a I, hymn the people went outside and witnessed the unveiling of the remaining columns by Miss Pr itch ard, South Parade, in memory of her niece; Mr T. ilt. Jones, Penmachno, in memory of his wife; Airs Pierce Jones, Llan- dudno, tin memory of her mother; Mi&s Grace Hughes, Lltand-udno in memory of her mother Mr Robert Clay (for whom Mr W. Shadibolt acted i, and Mr W. Williams, Myrtle Htouse, the honorary clerk of the works. At the conclusion of the ceremony about 400 persons partook of complimentary tea in the adjoining schoolroom. The donations and collections received dur- in,, the day amounted to over £250.

Thieving cannot be justified, whatever the circumstances, but when a man falls a prey to temptation, one's sympathy is instantly awakened. Tradesmen, particularly in health; resorts such as Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, etc. expose goods outside their premises, even at the height of the season, and they are con- tinually deprived of various articles in con- sequence. Only last week the streets of Llan- dudno were ringing with the cry "thi-ef," and policemen were seeking high and low for a man who had taken a pair otf boots. It is degrade ing to expose goods outside business premises, for it is a source ctf temptation to people whose moral sense is not very strong.

LLANDUDNO CHUfiCH SCHOOLS, H.M. INSPECTOR'S ANNUAL REPORTS. A meeting of the managers of the Church Schools was held at Llandudno on Tuesday evening, the Rector (Rev. LL R. Hughes, M.A.) presiding. The other members present were: The Hon. Mrs. Lloyd Mostyn, .\ie»srs. R. Conway, Ralph Fisher, Nathan Jones, and and Rev. W. E. Jones (correspondent).

THE PROPOSED NEW7 SCHOOL AT GLANWYDDEN. The Rector asked Alderman John Owen whether they were going on with the proposal to erect a new school at Glanwydoen. Alderman John Owen Yes. fhe land has been bought and paid for. The plans have been approved by thp LBoard of Education, and, I believe, by the Local Government Board. The Rector: Then there is nothing further that we can do in the matter. There was no reply, but it was noticed that a sly smile crept over the faces of Alderman Owen and Mr. 'Fisher, both of whom are re- presentative managers and members of the Local Education Authority.

H.M. INSPECTOR'S ANNUAL REPORTS. The following reports were read — 'Bodavon (mixed).—'Methods of teaching gen- erally are thoughtful and carefully chosen, and well-prepared oral lessons secure attentive lis- teners. Arithmetic has been intelligently taught, and the lowest standard an especially good knowledge of its work in this subject. Recitation was well said, and a good general, as well as a detailed knowledge was shown of the selected passages.. The answering in geo- graphy was somewhat sectional in the upper standards, but the lessons are descriptive and interesting. The object lessons are suitable and well illustrated, and a high standard of efficiency characterises the work in all the sub- jects of instruction.—Infants The infants have made good progress, especially in kindergarten occupations, and is conducted in the spirit that prevails in an intelligently organised depart- ment. Church Walks School (mixed).—The school continues to be conducted with marked skill and success. Brush-drawing is very good. .Model-drawing and its practical applications to common object drawing are exceptionally well taught.—Infants Mass drawmg with coloured chalk and free arm drawing are very carefully and successfully taught, and brush-drawing is very good. All the lessons are correlated and the methods are thoroughly modern.. The I modelling is of excellent quality. St. Beuno's School (infants).-There are 65 children on the books at the present time, and only 15 of these can be accommodated in suit- able desks. There are a few high desks which will seat about 30 of the remaining children, but the seats of these are so high that the feet of the little children are dangling four or five inches above the floor, and there are no backs to these seats. The other children have to stand, or to sit upon the floor, attention was called to this lack of proper desk accom- modation after the visit in February, 1908; and, in a letter dated 18th March, copied in the log-book, the Board of Education requested that assurance be given that the deficiences be made good as soon as possible. Nothing ap- pears to have been done to remedy the unsatis- factory state then pointed out. It is impossible for two teachers to teach the large number of infants here (the average attendance for the last quarter was over 70) in one large room. A partition should be provided. The cloak- room should not be used as a class-room. Referring to the defects alluded to in the reports, Mr. Alfred T. Davies wrote to say that they must 'be remedied without delay. The Rector: We have every reason to be satisfied with the reports so far as they relate to education. I propose that we congratulate the teachers upon the satisfactory work done. Mr. Ralph Fisher seconded1, and the motion was agreed to.

STOVES, BURNERS, ETC. It. was reported that the stoves at SL George's and at Bodavon required repairing; that new burners were also required at, the former school, and the walls in the mixed de- partment re-colouring. Mr. Conway proposed that an urgent request be made to the Local 'Education Authority to attend to the matter at once. Alderman John Owen observed that the man- agers were responsible for tho iaDric. The Rector and Mr. Conway contended that the stoves and the burners were not portions of the fabric. Mr. Fisher said that the burners would only cost a few pence. I The Rector replied that it was so. But they must go upon principle, or their obligations would multiply to such an extent, that they would not know where they would be. The Correspondent read a letter which Mr. E. R. Davies had sent to Mr. Hornsbv, in which he stated that they would find that the obligation to put the stove in repaiT was wTth the managers. Mr. Conway observed that it was cruel the way the schools were being treated. It was Mr. Conway observed that it was cruel the way the schools were being treated. It was despicable. Take the case of the cleaners. They were only paid JS25 a year. and out of that to provide the soap and the brushes. It could not be done. I, The Hon. Mrs. Lloyd Mostyn seconded' the proposition. I As an amendment. Mr. Fisher proposed that I the managers should supply the burners. Prin- 1 ciple or no principle, proper light was required immediately. Mr. Conway: Shall it be a. barsrain., Mr. Fisher? I'll nut the burners if you'll get the

COOKERY AND WOODWORK. The Hon. Mrs. Mostyn and Miss Buckley were appointed visitors to the cookery classes, and Alderman John Owen and Mr. Nathan Jones to the woodwork classes.

Nowhere will the dea-h of Sir El'iott Lees be more regretted than at Llandudno, where he wa.s so well known and greatly esteemed by members of both political parties. After his defeat at Birkenhead in 1906, Sir Elliott Lees came to recuperate his health at "Cambrian Nanles." and in the oouree of a .-diovt- interview with a "Herald" man, de- clared Llandudno to be one of the best health recorts in -Lhe kingdom.

"^qeagaajgg^gSSS^^ LLANDUDNO PARTVS TRAP I ACCIDENT A MYSTERIOUS MOTOR CAR. (By Our Own Reporter.) A singular conflict of evidence iwae the mam feature of an action heard by Hie Honour Judge Moss, at Rhyl County Court, on Fri- day. The paintiff (for whom Mr Joseph Lloyd, solicitor, appeared) was Mr Herbert Wynne 'Evans, son of Archdeacon Evans, Llandudno, and the defendants were Messrs Francis and J John Heathcote, coach proprietors, Rhyl, • ,who were represented by Mr F. J. Gamlin, solicitor. Mr Lloyd said the claim was for -05 18s 6d for damages to plaintiffs trap owing to the I negligent driving of a coach by defendants' servant at Rhuddlan, on the 4th July. The accident occurred at the topn of Rhuddlan railway bridge. The road there Was in the shape of a. T, and the bridge was almost at the point where the two roads which formed 1 the letter T met. The top line was the road from St. Asaph to Abergele, and the stem was the road which branched off from Rhyl to t&t. Asaph. Plaintiff, who (was accompanied by his sisters and a friend, were driving in a float from Rhyl towards St. Asaph, and the defendants' coach, drawn by four horses in pairs, was going from St. Asaph to Rhyl. They met on the top of Rhuddlan railway bridge. As the plaintiff approached the bridge he could see, by looking across country to the left, the coach-and-four, but at the arch of tha bridge a stone wall obstructed the view, and the road curved. Plaintiff, knowing the coach was coming, drove as near the iwall as possible on his left side, and the coach swung into view round the curve. It was on its wrong side hugging the corner, "and the driver, as soon as he saw the float standing where it was—it had been brought to a standstill— turned his horses quickly to the other side of the road. Had the road been straight, it waa doubtful whether he would have been able to miss the float. At one moment he was a complete barrier across the road, the front horses being on one side, and the coach on the other. The next moment he was in the position of an arc of a circle. If plaintiff had stood still the coach would have touched his ihoree, so he backed. The consequence was that, the front horse of the coach touching the Iback of his trap, kicked out, smashed one of the wheels of the float, and the occupants of the float were thrown to the ground. The claim was for the damage to the float. Mr Herbert Wynne Evans, 4, Abbey Road, Llandudno, described as a Colonial "bush- man," said he had had considerable experience with horses. He was accompanied in the float by his two sisters and Mr Jonathan Jones. It was about half-past four. Approaching ¡ tRhuddlan E'ridge, he saw the four-in-hand coming from the direction of St. Asaph, and pulled up to a standstill on his left side. The coach and four came into sight on its wrong side, and when the driver saw them he drove across the road The coach was then cutting right acrc.^s his (plaintiff's) horse's head, and to avoid a collision he backed, with the re- sult that one of the coach leaders kicked out. [He could not have driven forward, because the coach blocked the road. One wheel of the float was kicked clean off, and the occupants of the trap were thrown out. He complained to the driver of the coach, and afterwards saw Mr Heathcote at Rhyl. I Mr Gamlin (cross-examining) You haven't told us about a motor car which came by at that time. Do you remember seeing a motor car?-Yes. Did that, motor car dodge between your car and the coach and pa?s between the two? —I nover saw it. ) Where did you see it?—In front of us. I Didn't you see the motor car on the bridge? Ttot on the HhuddUn ffldo of the bridge. 1 His Honour: Which way was it coming?— iF'rom Rbyl. His Honour: It hadn't passed you at the time of the accident?—No. By Mr Gamlin Do you mean to swear this motor car hadn't passed you before the acci- dent occurred, because I have witnesses who will swear it did?—No, it hadn't. Well, when did the motor car pass you?—It didn't pass me until the pony was taken out of the trap, and the coach had cleared. Perhaps that was another motor car. Did you fee a motor c.ar pass immediately before the accident on the slope?—Xo. I suggest it was this motor car which made your pony shy. Is that, so?—No. Didn t vour pony shy?—No. Didn't shy at all?—No. Plaintiff said he was driving the float. Bjf did not tell Mr Heathcote the accident might have been caused by a motor car passing be- tween the coach and' the float. He admitted he complained of the coach driver being ex- cited And, that he annoyed -9, lady in the float by asking her not to get excited?—I did not say exactly those words. He certainly did annoy one of the ladies. How ?—ffiy his general manner and words. In what way?—I cannot say. (Plaintiff did not deny that the driver of the coach had full control over his horses. Re-examined by Mr Lloyd The first timg he saw the motor car was after the accident. With regard to your (backing it was absolute- ly necessary to save a collision Absolutely. In front of you was the coach ?—YctS. And was the coach getting- closer to your horse's head or getting further from it?—It was approaching. Mr Jonathan Jones, one of the masrtens at the St. A&a.ph County (School, paid he was with plaiintiff and the Misses Walton Evans. When they reached the top df the Rhuddlan railway bridge they stopped the float on the left sice < £ the road. The coa-ch approached on its wrong side and the driver tried to pull the .horses on his proper side. Mr Lloyd I harve said, and you will correct me if I am wrong, that at one time the norse and coach were a complete barrier across the road ?—Yes, that is quiite correct. After they were a complete- barrier another change took place?—Yes, the driver had to fbrinig them back to the middle of the road, and then he brought the horses very near to our trap. To your side sgaan?—Yes. 'Witness added that immediately the float touched one of the horses it kicked", and one or the float wheels -was kicked right in. !Did the pony ehy at, a motor car at all?— We did; not see "any motor car until the accident had happened. j iWhateveT was the cause of the accident, the motor car had nothing to do with it!-No- thing at all. !By IMr jGamlin:) Who (war;¡ driving?—Mr (Evans. ? My instructions are that one of the ladies was driving?—Certainly not. W-itness again denied that a motor car dod'ged in 'between I the float and the coach as suggested. | mi"n—— GMr !W. Edwards Moss, 2, Winderaiere-ter- ratee, [Prince's Park, Liverpool, cotton mer- chant, said the plaintiff was a stranger to him. He was driving a motor car up Rhuddlan bridge on the date named, and when he got to the top of the b-rid,ge he saw .the float with four people standing apparently in the ruins. 'On witness's tricrht hand side of the road was a charabanc astride of the crest ci the bridge. Only the horees were over the bridge; the coach was not. (Mr Lloyd Is there any 'foundation for sug- F gesting your motor car frightened plaintiff's horse?—It was absolutely impossible. Mr Gamlin Who suggested it ? Mr Lloyd You did. (Mr Gamlin: I don't suggest it was his motor car. There are hundreds of motor cars about. Mr Uoyd You were on the scene im- mediately after the accident?—Some few mo- ments after. And as ifar as you ore aware, there was no other motor car there ?—tNot until some minutes later. It went to Abergele and never passed lie at all. Witness said he examined the wheel tracks Und remarked to plaintiff, "Tie gave you lees than a yardj at the corner." That was to say. the driver of the coach waa not on his own side of the road at all. This waa the plaintiff's caee. .Mr Gamlin, in his speech for the defence, said the did mot allege It was (Mr Moss's motor cair that dodged in between the float end the coach. They did not know where it was, but he had four witnesses who would say there was etfoh a motor car, and that it was in con- sequence of the car dodging between the float and the coach, that the aocid/ecnt occurred. The pony shied and' (backed rigni, into the leaders, and of course the inovi table result followed. The coach had been to Llanfairtal- haiarn, and over the, Bryn-y-pyn pass. They had travelled over 22 miles amd -were walking up the hill. Mr Green,- coaoh builc'er, was called by Mr Lloyd to prove the damage to the float. H-j said it waa the near wheel that was knocked off. Britfc Wynn, driver of the coach, said his horses were walking over the bridge. When he was going down the slope a motor car pass- ed on the top of the bridge. The pony and tran were below him. The pony shied, and turned his head towards the bridge, and back- ed the trap into the coach. The wing of the trap caught the off-leader, and naturally the mare "let fly." She kicked the off-wheel of the trap. Witness had no difficulty in pulling up. A lady was driving the float. He and one or two of the passengers helped to put the trap on one side of the road. Witness was on his proper side of the road, and there was sufficient room for a furniture van to have passed. Cross-examined by Mr. Lloyd He called at all the public-houses—(laughter)—and he had a very decent party that day. He did not know they were from a brewery (laughter). He denied that he was driving on the wrong side of the road hugging the corner. William Foy, guard of the coach, said the horses were walking over the 'bridge, and the coach was on the left side of the road. A motor car, coming from towards Rhyl, passed the coach, and the same minute the hordes came to a standstill. He did not see the acci- dent. He afterwads held the horses' heads while several passengers helped to carry the float to the side of the road. William Thomas Clayton, brewery employee, Manchester, said he was a passenger on the was perfectly sober, and the horses were walk- coach. It was a brewery excusion. Wynn inc slowly up the hill. They were fagged out. When they got up to the crest of the bridge he saw a pony and float approaching, also a motor car. The motor car passed between the two, and that caused the pony to shy, and the pony backed the float right into the leader. The leader kicked out and smashed the wheel. Wit- ness did not see Mr. Moss. Cross-examined by Mr. Lloyd He only no- ticed one motor car. A lady was driving the float. Elijah iHVrris, aDOt.11- passenger oil the coach, also said a motor car passed, and the float backed into the leader of the coach horses. He helped to carry the flqat to the side of the road. He did not see Mr. Moss. John Heathcote, one of the defendants, said plaintiff called to see him the night of the accident. He said the aocident was not the fault of the coachman, but a motor car came in between them, and whether the pony shied at the motor car he could not say.. He also said one of his sisters was driving. Mr Lloyd proposed calling the Misses Walton Evans to give rebutting evidence as to who was driving, but his Honour thought it would not help to settle the case. Mr. Lloyd suggested that the mystery sur- rounding the case was due to the fact that this was a brewery party, who bad been enjoying themselves, and were returning home in very good spirits {laughter). His Honour held that in spite of the conflict of evidence, plaintiff had made out his case, and gave judgment for him in the full amount claimed.

I COLWYN BAY LIBERALS A SOCIAL GATHERING. On ^Friday evening a largely attended meet- dug was held under tthe auspices of the Col- wyn Bay Liberal Association ajnd the Women's Branch of the Liberal Association, Mr J. Crumpton presided. Mrs W. S. Cain and Lady Roberts received I a hearty receptiion on their arrival at the meeting. There were also on the platform, Miss Crosfield, Misg Sugden, Mr S. Glynne Jones, Mr R.

Llewelyn Davies and Miss Lizzie Jane Williams, Virniew Bank, apd! a recitation: by Miss Taylor, the chairman j addressed the meeibing. He d-rew attention to the syllabus of the winter meetings which iirl- cluded almost every political question before Parliament. Speaking of the unemployment question he siaid, he was sure they were glad that the Government meant .to tak6 the matter up a,, a very early stage-. The question had been thrust upon them somewhat unex- pectedly, as. 12 months agQ, there were not many signs that (trade would fall to pieces, and so many thousands throv^i out of work. A great number of the unemployed would only be too glad: if work could be goti, and they all recognised (that the first dutv of the country was .to relieve the misery, and make arrange- ments whereby employment could be found. They would anxiously await the statement of the Premier as regards his idea, which he (the speaks) was sure would be practically and speedily brought into operation. He was delighted to see the progress made with the Children's Bill, also the Licensing Bill. Sir Herbert Roberts, who was unable to bo present, wrolte :—"We are now in the m'-dst of the Committee Stage of the Licensing Bill, and rno?.1, important divisions are taking place every day. The proceedings upon the Bill this wet-k will not terminate upit-il 5.30 'to- morrow afternoon, and I have regretfully come to the conclusion, that it i.'> my duty not to be absent from the House during the discussion on 'he Bill to-morrow. This decision will I make it impossible for me to be present at ¡ your first Liberal Social Gathering. After a violin solo by Mr F. C. Moore, and I a song "Sunshine and Ra|"V' by Miss Sallie (Pany, Mlsy* Crosfield madev a hanpy little speech, in which she point.ed out the advan- tage of such social gatherings. Mr R. Thompson.

Referring to the Licensing Bill he said thov ought to honour Sir Herbert for remaining at his nort ait this stage. "Mr Muriel sang "Drake's Drum" and, sub- sequently, refreshments were errvoi, after which followed the game "Celebrities" which caused a great deal of fun, and was the means of .introducing those .present to each other in a pleasant mpfmer.

Self-Destruction Every act, every thought, every rush of passion, every emotion, every movement of muscle or mind uses up some of the substance of our bodies, just as every step in walking helps to wear out our shoes. Food repairs the loss to some extent, but the power to digest food grows less from year to year with use. That is the reason, sooner or later, we must die. Now take note. The faster you live, the more you waste the more you throw away, the sooner you come to the end. Once more. The great waster, the great auef of life is illness. Then, you may lose la a month what might have lasted a year and (remember!) not merely of flesh and strength, but of the power to get it back. Here is where Mother Seigel's Syrrp does its wonderful work. It gives you 'back lost power. Not all of it, for then you could live for ever; but most of it. Convincing proof of this is afforded by the case of Mr James S. Morton, of 253, Lymington Avenue, Lordship < Lane, N., who writes thus on July 17th, 1908: In the winter of 1903-4, I was engaged upon a Aery arduous task which sometimes occupied me 18 hours a day, and on three or four occa- sions right through the night. Before it was completed I began to suffer from biliousness and indigestion. The pain at my chest after eating was unbearable, and my sight so nnlch affected that printed lines seemed to me blurred and confused. Not until a friend of mine advised me to take Mother Seigel's Syrup did I find any relief. When I had taken about half of the second bottle, the pain after eatino- was less intense. By the time I had taken eight bottles of the Syrup my ailments had completely left me. Indigestion is now no more to me than a painful memory." Mother Seigel's Syrup is also prepared in tablet form, as Mother Seigel's Svrao Tablets. Price 2s 9d.

Eventually it was decided to supply the bur- ners, and the correspondent was instructed to write a strong letter to the Local Education Authority on the other matters. Regarding the supply of desk accommodation at St. Beuno s School, Alderman John Owen promised to place the matter before the Coun- ty Committee, and to do all he could to obtain suitable desks.
