Finding at once, thoy ran him very hard to Bryn Daiisi Gorse, where he got to ground after 45 minutes without a check. Coming back to Saw Mill Gorse found one fox, but hounds oould do nothing with it, so he was left. Going on to Lletty Du Dingle, found and run sharp towards Old Colwyn, bearing to the rig'ht, through the top end of Syrdan Wood, up to Mr Morris's farm, where he was run into and kihed after a real good hunt of one hour and 15 minutes. Those out were Mr H. Bibby, Miss Biblr. Mr Lang, Mr Thompson, of the South Oxfordshire, Mr Mac. Nicoll, and several others. The hounds met on Saturday, the 21st, at Bodelwyddan Hall, where there was a good field out. Hounds first drew the Park Cover, which proved blank. Hounds were then taken on to Kinmel Gorse, where they found, and going away down the Vale to Syvere, over the Park wall at Bodelwyddan, over the wall again on the farther side, but as hounds had to be taken round on account of it being too high for them to jump, the fox had the best of the deal. Hounds could do little with him after- wards. They were then taken on to Prince's Gorse, found a brace, settling' down to one run then round the cover several times, forcing him away, where they ran into him at Erw Gaseg, after a nice run of twenty minutes. During this run there was several empty .saddle". Going on to Ende Gorse, H/nyeoed Corse, Mr C. Williams' covers, which all proved blank, then on to Wigfair larches, found a brace and a half, where they soon killed one in cover.

Hounds trotted off to Maesfen, where a couple of foxes were on foot, and one was followed nearly to the Blue Bell Inn, at Tushingham. Turning righthanded he was hunted slowly round and left- handed past Tushingham, and across to the neighbourhood of Ba.rmere, where, owing to in- different scent, he got clear away after a slow hunting run of over an hour. The Goodmore Rough was next found to contain a brace of foxes. One was chopped, and the other got to ground somewhere in the thick cover. Taylor's Rough was tried fruitlessly, but in a portion of the Wyches, close to Taylor's Rough, a fox was viewed, and followed slowly across to the Mill, near Stockton Hall, where he ran them out of scent.

Monday, November 30 Duckington At 10.45 Tuesday, November 31 RednaJ At 10.30 Friday, December 4 The Kennels Saturday, December 5 Tho Farm At 10.45 Sir Watkin Williams Wynn wishes to ask (sajys the "Oswestry Advertiser") that all fol- lowers of his hounds who bring out second horses will give their servants strict instructions not to jump fences when following the hunt, but to keep to the recognis8d paths and roads, to shut all gates, and on no account to be disre- 7 speotful to occupiers of land. Serious complaints have reached Sir Watkin of considerable annoy- ance caused by second horsemen to occupiers of land- Foir the benefit of second horsemen, the places where the second horses will bo required will in futuro be made known at the meet. It is trusted that the opportunity of acquiring this information will be made use of. Sir Watkin hopes that those in charge of second horses will remajn quaet and keep outside the hunt much as possible. He also requests that peopLe should t not- follow the Hunt in motor cars.

BETHESDA COUNTY SCHOOL (Girls) v. BRYNREFASL (Girls). Played at Brynrefail on Saturday, and resul- ted in 5-0 in favour of Bethesda. The game was brisk throughout. The visitors showed more combination than the home team, to> which no doubt, they owed their victory. The passing ajnong the forwards was very fine, and the backs defended well. There are several pro- mising' players at Brynrefail, especially among the forwards. Bethesda County School de- served the victory as they were certainly the better team.

FOOTBALL. BANGOR WEDNESDAYS v. LLANFAIRFECHAN WEDNESDAYS. CITIZENS VICTORIOUS. (By "Spectator.") Bangor Wednesdays 4 goals. Llanfairfechan 1 goal. In cold and dull weather, Bangbr Wednesdays entertained Llanfairfechan to a friendly en- counter on the Bangor Town Ground yesterday afternoon. The teams lined up as follows: — Bangor Wednesdays: Tal Griffith; Arthur Stanley and D. J. Thomas; D. Mullholland, G. 0. Roberts, and Evan Hughes; Tommy Owen, I. Thomas, D. Walford, Dick Jones, and Don- aldson. Llanfairfechan: T. H. Morgan; Ivor Jones and J. E. Morgan; J. Roberts, W. J. Jones, and R. J. Hughes; W. G. Thomas, A. E. Pugh, G. R. Davies, Eddie Thomas, and D. R- Evans. G. R. Davies set the sphere rolling, and made a rush, but Mullholland cleared to Tommy Owen, who sent to touch. Llanfairfechan p,re-sed hard now, and made some fine ruches towards the home goal. D. J. Thomas kept his opponents well in hand. The ball was kept in mid-field for some time, but the Bangor front line, led by Dick Jones and D. Walford, forged ahead, but W. J. Jones cleared. Donaldson sprung into prominence with his turn of speed, but shot feebly in the end. Arthur Stanley showed fine fettle routing the visiting front rank D. R. Evans, Llajifairlbchan outside left, secured- the ball, and succeeded in centring well, but A. E. Pugth spoilt the chance of s-cor- ing. D. Walford took up the running, and shot at goal, but Morgan cleared feebly. Don- aldson again provsd aggressive, and forced a fruitless corner. A run by Pugh was spoilt by am infringement of the offside rule. Evan Hughes and Mullholland displaced much tact- Tommy Owen, who usually plays" goal, from the outs:de right position, passed well-judged centres to Walford, who sent the ball on, and 1. Thomas found the billet. Dick Jones often proved very dangerous with pots at goal, and eventually made no mistake with a swift ground- er. Halftime: Bangor Wednesday 2, Llanfair- fechan 0. In the second half Llanfairfechan were award- ed a penalty, which W. J. Jones negotiated. TaJ, however, made a brilliant save. T. H. Morgtin went to the forward ino, and Willie Thomas took his place between the uprights. Donaldson passed to centre, and Diok Jones and Tommy Owen between them found the net. The visitors were awarded a second pen- alty, from which Morgan found the billet safe- ly. Morgan again proved aggressive, and de- livered high kick which Tal safely fisted out. Another run by Bangor found them scoring', Walford doing the needful. Full time was called, the score reading: Ban- gor Wednesday 4, Lianfairfec-ban Wednesdays 1.

LICENSING BILL TO BE THROWN OUT. As a result of the meeting of the Unionist peers at Lord Lansdowne's house on Tuesday afternoon, the Licensing Bill is likely to be re- jected on second reading in the Upper House. The proposal to reject the Bill was carried by a large majority. The following official report of tho proceedings was issued to the press:- A numerously-attended meeting of Unionist peers was held at Lansdowne House at noon on Tuesday, upwards of 230 being present. Lord Lansdowne addressed the meeting, and expressed his readiness, in the event of the body of tho Unionist peers being of the same opinion, to move an amendment in the following terms:— That this House, while willing to consider favourably any amendment which experience has shown to be necessary in the law relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors, declines to proced further with a measure which, without materially advancing the cause of temperance, will occasion great inconvenience to many of his Majesty's subjects, and violate every prin- ciple of equity in dealing with the numerous classes whose interests will be affected by the Bill. A resolution in favour of Lord Lansdowne's proposal was carried by an overwhelming majority.
