BARMOUTH MAGISTRATES AND SCORCHING. Pearson's Athletic Record has some caustic remarks about the cycling question in Barmouth. It says :— Has anyone ever heard of Barmouth ? It is very difficult to find it on the map, but a man I happened to meet, the other day tells me he has a cousin whose wife's brother once went to Barmouth. He was a commercial traveller, and his line was Welsh rabbits. But Barmouth has decided to make a name for itself in the world. As to sundry promo- ters and others, the cycle boom also offered an opportunity to Barmouth. Therefore, the wise men of the little town put their heads together and decided that cycles were dangerous machines, and that cyclists were raging, tearing devils, who charged through the streets, seeking whom they might devour. Therefore, an intelligent local bye- law was put into force requiring all wild beasts on bicycles to ride at four miles an hour or under. Two unfortunate riders appeared in Barmouth soon after this. In vain they swerved and steered through the narrow street. They could not do it. Too inexperienced to wobble at four miles, too proud to walk, they fell victims to the watchful minions of the law. They were dragged up before the great unpaid of little Barmouth. It was alleged and ad- mitted that they bad scorched at six miles an hour within the limits of the borough! Fined and mulcted for costs was the decision of the Bench. Gallant little Wales — ♦

In the Court of Appeal on Wednesday judgment was given upon the appeal by the Barmouth District Courcil from an order of the Divisional Court refusing to set aside the Arbitrator's award upon the claim of Mr. Williams, a local contractor, against the Council. The Court unanimously dis- missed the appeal. The most important subject before a meeting of the Council of the National Cyclists' Union held on Saturday, was the question of road-racing, and eventually a motion was passed to the effect that no licensed rider may take part in any race or paced record attempt on the road, this rule coming into force immediately. It was decided to add to the list of championships tandem bicycle racs for amateurs and professionals, and that time limits shall be y laced upon all championships up to and including five miles.

MARRIAGE OF CAPTAIN RICHARDS, OF CAERYNWCH. Charming weather favoured the wedding which took place at Christ Church, Llanfairfecaan, on Thursday, between Mr R. E. Ll. Richards, of Caer- ynwch, Dolgelley, eldest son of the late Mr R. Meredith Richards, chairman of the Merionethshire Quarter Sessions, and Miss Nesta Mary Platt, eldest daughter of Colonel Platt, C.B., of Gorddinog, Llan- fairfechan, and grand-daughter of Mr J. H. Platt, who for some years was member of Parliament for Oldham. A most fashionable gathering of ladies and gentlemen representative of the leading county families in North Wales attended the wedding and the greatest local interest was taken in the event. Extensive preparations had been made beforehand in Llanfairfechan and the neighbourhood, where the Platt family are so very popular and highly esteemed, to give outward expression to the best wishes of the public for the future prosperity of the bride and bridegroom. The picturesque village of Llanfairfechan was gay with bunting in honour of the occasion, and the main street presented an animated appearance by the crowd of spectators. The marriage ceremony was announced to take place at half-past 12 o'clock, but, long before that time the invited guests began to arrivi- at Christ Church. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, chrysanthemums, and arum lillies, the latter being used for decorating the altar. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the grounds surrounding the sacred edifice were equally crowded with spectators. At the entrance door the staff sergeants of the 4th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, under the command of Captain Cooper, formed as a guard of honour. The officiat. ing clergy were the Right Rev the Bishop of Aber- deen and Orkney (uncle of the bridegroom), assisted by the Rev T. Lloyd Kyffin, M.A. (vicar of Llanfaes), and the Rev E. J. Owen (curate of Llan- fairfechan). The service was fully choral. The bride, who was given away by her father, Colonel Platt, was charmingly attired in a dress of rich white duchesse satin. The bodice was elaborately embroidered with pearls and trimmed with Brussels lace and orange blossoms, the skirt being plain with a chaletainf of bridal blossoms. Her -oul-t train was of rich white satin trimmed with pearl embroidery, and was arranged from the should;rs. She also wore a handsome Brussels lace veil, the gift, of her mother, which was caught up with orange blossoms. The bride wore a magnificent diamond star,and carried a handsome shower bouquet of choice white exotics, the gifts of the bridegroom. The bridesmaids were Miss Gladys Platt (sister of the bride), Miss Richards (sister of the bridegroom), Miss M. Sykes (cousin of the bride), and Miss Lempriere, who were attired in pretty costumes of white satin, tucked bodices and blue vests trimmed with lace and sable fur. They wore large picture hats of beaver-coloured velvet with full silk brims and shaded cream ostrich feathers, turned up at side with bows of turquoise blue silk under brims. They carried choice shower bouquets of yellow chrysan- themums in two shades and wore gold bangles with heart lockets, the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride was also accompanied by two maids of honour— Miss Kathleen Dixon and Miss Evelyn Burr (cousins of the bride)-who wore charming dresses of soft crinkled silk, with white sashes and white accordion-pleated satin hats to match. Master Maurice D. Piatt (cousin of the bride) performed the duties of page, and looked very handsome dressed in a costume of turquoise blue velvet with soft cream vest, and kmickerbockers fastened at the knee with buckles. The bride- groom was accompanied by his cousin, Mr Munro Edwards, of Dolserau Hall, Dolgelley. After the ceremony the wedding party returned to Gorddinog where a reception was held hy Golenel and Mrs Platt. Among the invited guests were Lord and Lady Penrhyn, Sir Hugh Ellis Nanney, Bart, and Lady Ellis Nanney, Captain W. Buckley (Dinas Mawddwy), the Rev T. P. and Mrs Watkin Davies (Llanfachreth Vicarage, Dolgelley), the Rev E. W. O. and the Misses Bridgeman (Knockin Hall, Oswestry), Mrs Chas Edwards (Dolserau, Dolgelley), Mr Mrs and Miss Vaughan (Nannau, Dolgelley), Mr and Mrs C. E. J. Owen (Hengwrt, Ucha, Dolgelley), Mr and Mrs J. E. Hughes (Plas Gwyii, Doleelley). Mr and Mrs Richards left by the afternoon express for Devonshire, where the honeymoon is to be spent. The bride's travelling dress was of stone-colour cloth, trimmed with blue velvet and sable fur. THE REJOICINGS AT DOLGELLEY. The Dolgelley committee have decided to defer the local celebrations nntil the return home of the happy pair. The terms of the address, which is presented to Captain Richards on behalf of the town and district, have already been approved of and is in course of preparation. The subscription list is being daily augmented, and it is hoped that the committee will be able to make fitting and ex- tensive celebrations on the occasion. The Caer- ynwch tenantry have also decided to present Mr Richards with a Welsh address and a handsomely bound Bible. On Thursday last, the day of the wedding, a large number of tenants on the estate and others responded to the invitation of Mr Wil- liams, the estate agent, and sat down at Caerynwch to a sumptuous repast, prepared in a capital manner under the superintendenes of Mr and Mrs Williams. Addresses by a number of those present followed, and the health and happiness of the bride and bridegroom was given and responded to amidst much enthusiasm, followed by musical contributions and bardic addresses. In the evening huge bonfires were lighted on Moel Cynwch and other peaks. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed throughout. We ap- pend one of the bardic addresses referred to :— ENGLYNION Ar briodas Capt.

lustre to his name. Smith handed the ball within the limit of the goal line and Glossop were awarded a penalty kick. Bartley took the kick and the result. was awaited with suspense. The ball was driven behind, and there followed a scene of great enthusiasm. Roose saved grandly from a corner kick, striking the ball behind, and a second kick from the corner was headed away and .Tones got off towards Glossop end of the field. The attack finished up by Iiammonds driving the ball over the goal. Another attack on the home goal led by Bartley ended with a grand shot on a level with the goal, Roose saving by fisting out. A corner kick was given to the North Enders but Sergeant drove the ball wide. Edwards cleared another attack, and Jones sending in a shot from the left, Hammond and Green fell into shooting range and Dearnley ran out to save, and Conicgham dashing up just in the nick of time sent the ball out of play. Sergeant and Coningham gave Rea some nasty tumbles, which were returned. Smith again handed the ball within the limits and Glossop were given another penalty kick. Roose fisted the ball out and a corner fol- lowed. The visitors beat in around the home goal with unabated vigour, but they were checked by the backs, all of whom were playing for all they were worth. Play had being going on for just forty minutes and Glossop appeared as far off as ever from scoring. Another foul in front of the home goal was given and the backs cleared. It was now on the nick of full time, and the game ended with the score one to none in favour of Aberystwyth. +
