The concert will be held in the Town Hall, on Thursday, December 2nd, and the Mayor (Councillor John Williams, J.P.) will take the chair.

Jones, the Captain of the Fire Brigade, was close by, and he with commendable promptitude, secured the fire ex- tinguishing appliance from the Council Cham- ber. This was effectual in stopping the ravages of the flames, but not before considerable dam- age had been done to the bar and its contents.

The crisis came on that day, and we are pleased to. state that since Sunday he has been making slow, but sure, progress towards recovery.

NARROW ESCAPE OF A TRACTION EN- GINE.—Oin Friday evening a traction engine with three waggon loads of timber attached (the property of Mr David Jones, Cerrigydruidion) was proceeding up the well-known Dinas-hill, and" when about a quarter of a mile beyond the Pemm.achno turning in the direction of Penire- voelas, the engine dashed into the wall on the river side of the road, crashing its way through, when, the driver miraculously managed to stop its progress. Had the locomotive gone further, nothing could have prevented it from toppling down the precipice, which at that point is a distance of between 400 and 500 feet. As it happened, however, that disaster was avoided. Tha men in charge were obliged to remain on the spot all night without food until eight o'clock the next morning, when, fortunately for them, the Penmachno Slate Quarries Company's traction engine, taking a load for Llanrwst, ap- peared on the scene, and bv careful maneuver- ing, were able to raise the crippled engine from its' precarious position without damage. We understand that the cause of the accident was the use of smoke coal. which issued in clouds in front of the steerer, and for the instant oblit- 4eratedJ his view. Great credit is due to Messrs Carter's men for their timely assistance, which has been shown not only on this occasion, but on several others.

COAST SENIOR CUP. PWLLHELI v. HOLYHEAD. PENGUINS TRIUMPH. (By" EIFJONYDD,") The visit of Holyhead to Pwllheli was expected to provide one of the best games in the second round of the North Wales Senior Cup. Holyhead have been the proud holders, of the cup for two seasons in succession (1906-07 and 1907-08). The homesters realised that they would have to put forward their best efforts to beat such sturdy opponents. The day turned out to be an ideal cup-tie day," and the ground was in perfect condition. The match was the talk of the town and district for the last fortnight, and it was not surprising to see such a fair crowd of spectators on the field. Both teams were at full strength, and Mr. Welch, of Crewe, lined the teams up as follows Pwllheii Bob Williams, goal Griffith Evans and R. S. Pughe, backs; R. S. Tompson (captain). Bob Ellis, and Bob Jones, halves; R. D. Roberts. W. Griffith, Now Jones.Johnny Williams and Ben Evans, forwards. Holyhead Collier, goal O. Morgan and Rowland Wil- liams, backs; Carlisle, W. T. Jones (captain), and Dick Ellis. halves W. Salisbury Owen, R. C. Jones. Hugh Williams, L. McNeil, and Johnny Jones, forwards. Holyhead won the toss, and Pwllheli opened with a raid; towards Collier, beating the halt-backs. The backs fumbled with the ball instead of clearing, and Will Griffith, taking advantage, nipped in and scored a magnificent goal for the homesters in less than two minutes from the start, Collier having not the slightest chance to save. Encouraged by this early success, the homesters went towards the visiting citadel in a line, but Rowland Williams with a huge punt cleared. Ben Evans coming along on the lett wing, banged the ball into the net from a centre bv R. D. Roberts, who had been put it) possession by Will Griffith The visitors seemed disorganised after this seconj reverse, and the homesters taking advantage, pressed, and had very hard lines on many occasions in not augmenting their score. The homesters again by a combined movement went towards Collier, and their efforts were rewarded this time, John Williams finding the "billet" with a swift shot. The visiting right wing tried hard to penetrate the home defence, but Bob Jones and Bob Ellis were not to be caught napping. The game was stopped at this point through Will Griffith sustaining a kick, and had to be carried from the field. The homesters played up to the interval with ten men, and they managed to keep their goal intact. Half- time:- Pwllheli, 3; Holyhead, o. Play was exceedingly interesting during the second half, and Pwllheli ran out winners by 4-0. COMMENTS. The homesters fully deserved their win, as they were by far superior in every department. Bob Williams in goal had an easy afternoon-what he had to do he did in his usual style. Both backs played a hard game. without being great. The three" Bobs" at half-back played a great game. In fact, it was owing to their splendid defence and attack that the homesters qualify for the next round. Bob Ellis worked like a trojan, and never played a cleaner game. Tompson and Bob Jones were always after the ball, and worked untiringly throughout the game. The three Bachs were very tricky as inside men. It was a pity that Will got hurt, as it told on him all the rest of the game. Now Jones played his usual game, and Johnny Williams was always there, and fed his outside man with rare judgment. R. D. Roberts and Ben Evans showed their best form. Their clever runs along the wing were a treat to witness, and the visiting halves had a hard and anxious afternoon to cope with them. Collier played well in goal, and could not be blamed for the- four goals that beat him. He saved some very difficult shots. None of the backs were safe, and when hard pressed they kicked wildly. Dick Ellis was the best of a moderate halt-line. Time and again were they beaten by the clever work of the home quintette. Salisbury Owen was the best of the forwa-ds, with Johnny Jones and McNeill- a good second. Pwllheli will be playing Towyn Rovers next Saturday in the first round in the Welsh Amateur Cup, and the eleven which will do duty will be chosen from the following Bob Williams, Rowley Hughes, R. L. Pughe, R. S. Tompson, Bob Ellis Jim EUis. W. Griffith, Saunders, Williams, R. H. White, Llew White, Ben Evans, Johnny Jones, or Griff. Jones.

Hockey. COLWYN v. LLANDDULAS. A keen mixed match was played between the above teams on the Colwyn ground last Saturday. The game was played under ideal conditions, and was one of the most closely contested seen on the ground this season. From the bully-off play was. fast, and it was a considerable time before Single- ton opened the scoring for Llanddulas. This urged Colwyn to further efforts, and Horton opened their account with a lovely shot from the extreme edge of the circle. Two more goals contributed by Dr. Davies and Pryce Jones closely followed the first. There was then a good deal of midfield play, the game being very even, but before half-time was called, both teams had added a goal to their score, Colwyn leading at the interval by 4 goals to 2. On resuming Llanddulas asserted a slight superiority and by finding the net twice in quick succession made the scores level. The game became faster and more keen, and Colwyn again assumed the lead by a splendid shot from Miss Hicks. This was soon followed by another goal, but the visitors rallied, and after a sharp tussle in the circle added ore more to their score. This was the extent of the scoring, and the game ended soon afterwards leaving Colwyn victors by six goals to five Much credit is due to the ladies on both sides, especially to those in the Llanddulas defence, who. played a very strong game. Mr H. V. Doughty-Davies again acted as referee, and at the close complimented the teams on their creditable display. Colwyn team: Allbutt, Price, and L Wood. backs M. Beverly, Price, and D. Wood, half- backs M. Warner, Horton, Davies, and Pryce- Jones, forwards.

Tempting Toffee. On October 29th, one of the fine factories of Messrs. J. Mackintosh Ltd., manufacturing con- fectioners, Halifax, was burnt out. Since the fire the firm has experienced the greatest difficulty in keeping the public from raiding the wreckage after tempting morsels of toffee. Policemen have been employed night and day protecting the buildings. For a short time the policemen were withdrawn, and immediately the place was scoured by youths. after the toffee.
