#*AUBETER KING" DEAD. ldr. Charles Arthur Lampard, whose connection with many successfl com- panies had obtained for him the title of w the Rubber King," was found dead.with M a gunshot wound in the head on Friday I' at his house. Holme Park, near Tun- bridge Wells. Mr. Laanpard. who was fifty-six years of age, had been in poor health for three I months, and he had been deeply de- pressed since one of his eons waa killed in action last year. Another son is in the Honourable Artillery -Company, and a third is manager for Messrs. Harrisons and Crosfiold in Ceylon. Mr. Lampard leaves a widow. In the City, where he was reputed to be a millionaire, Mr. Lampard led the rubber trade for many years.

1 ON THE BOWLING GREENS. IS A SWANSEA TOURNAMENT WEEK POSSIBLE ? (By WOODROLLER.") The bowling season in Swansea haa now practically come to an end. and Saturday was a blank day. The Execu- ive Council undoubtedly made a mistake when they arranged the final for the Mond Shield so early in September. Since that time interest has ebbed consider- ably, and not a single competition game has been played in the interval. The clubs claim that they are no longer in- I Hope Bowl, as at one stage of the game I he had a useful lead, but allowed Mr. Andrew MillIS to creep up until the score was 20 all. In the succeeding end the winner put a wood on the jack, which Evan Hill failed to dislodge with a couple I of fast shots. The Swansea woodroller also got into the final of the Gibson Cup com- petition, but Mr. D. A. Sutherland, the ) holder, managed to outpoint him by 21

AFTER THE HAT TRIMMING COMPETITION. • f You would never bare known Mt. Foy _aTl<i for Frank Taylor 1 These two competitors appeared to baae their cha nces of winning a prize upon their adopt- ing the pose which appealed to them individually. For instance, while Mr. Foy gave a dignified representation of Ajax defving the lightning," Mr. Taylor irodelled ihis poso upon a combination of The Gallant Bandolero and The Maiden's Prayer." terested in the competition, and nothing ) can be gained by carrying on the tourna- I ment. This is all very well, for the I League clubs, who have played on their I own greens, but wbat of. the clubs ex- pecting a return viõit? In my opinion it is not playing the game to treat clubs t HOW'S YOUR POOR JAW? I We sincerely hope Mr. Evan Hill en- j joyed his chewing-gum last week! If not, his jaw must have had a very thankless job indeed, for it bobbed up and down in tihe most energetic manner. >. in this manner, and the Executive Coun- cil should take strong action in the matter. Some of the more enthusiastic of the clubs assert that if the league is only maintained to keep the competition in existence, theij the sooner it is ended the better for the game. The competition was originally arranged in order to create an interest in the game and to keep the duht; tE>ther. but this season it, *wme as if the whole position has been reversed. NEGLIGENT CLUBS. One or two of the clubs have been neg- ligent throughout the season in carrying out the programme arranged, and they should be noted for consideration when next affiliation to the league is applied for. A large number of Swansea bowlers visited Llandrindod. Wells during the first and second weeks of September. and book part in the tournaments at the Rock Park Green. This meeting is becoming quite a popular institution of the aaason at the Wells, and as the prizes offered are valu- able the "cNoCks" taking part in the tournament is increasing each year. In Mr. Gibton they have a fine secretary, who is ail out for the success of the meet- ing: Mr. Ny. Williams (the treasurer of the Swansea League) is a member of the Organising Committee, and his experience in local Ixftvling affairs has been of con- siderable assistance to the authorities at the popular Welsh spa. The local com- petitors did exceedingly well, and no less than five out of the eight principal prizae were brought back to Swansea. TWICE A FINALIST. Mr. Evan Hill (Swansea) had hard luck in not becoming the first possessor of the ) shots to 14. The handsome prizes brought j back to Swansea are causing many trundlers to meditate upon the possi- bilities of paying a visit, to Llandrindod next season. They, however, find the first week in September a little late, and are eager that a similar tournament should be held at Swansea. The idea was mooted several seasons ago, but the war-cloud soon obliterated all preparations. SWANSEA BOWLING WEEK. A bowling week at Swansea should cer- tainly prove popular, and ought to be a success. Many of the bowlers who are now so keen must rememoer that the games cannot be restricted to after-work hours, and that if they were to take part in such a tournament they must be pre- pared to play on the rounds at the time arranged. 1 am afraid that nothing can be done until international affairs have been decided. Regret, however, has been repeatedly expressed that the Central Board early in the reason decided to aban- don the single-handed championship for 1916. The tournament was instituted two reasons ago, and aroused much interest. On the first occasion Mr. T. S. Hebden, who was at the time chairman of the league, successfully defied all corners, his opponent in the final being Sam Shepherd, the old Pantygwydr and Mumbles bowler. The success achieved in the year of its institution induced the Executive Council to continue the competition in 1915. AN ALLURING LIST. The prize list was an alluring one, and Mr. Evan Hill induced Mr. David Thomas to put up a handsome cup for competition. The various rounds attracted much atten- tion, while the large number of spectators who journeyed to Victoria Green to watch the final between Harry Williams and D. J. Squires showed that the game could at- tract from the spectacular point of view. Mr. Harry Williams was the first holder of the David Thomas Cup, and still claims possession, as the trophy has not been put up for competition during the present season. An event which did much to popularise the game a few seasons ago was the rink tournament. This was really more popnlar than the single-handed tour- nament, its great drawback being the diffifcultv experienced in getting eight players together on a specified evening to play off the rounds. Despite this handicap, the rink tournament was one of the most! successful events instituted by tlw local league. SOME DECORATION! Decorations! Why Mr. Harvey has more badges on his blazer than a cham- pion liol Scout 1 Simply smothered with them I EXODUS OF BOWLERS. The exodus of many bowlers, who have taken their stand in Kitchener's Army, has; however, caused a dwindling interest in these competitions, hut I am sure that as soon as the great conflict on the Con- tinent has been successfully concluded by the Allies the Executive Council will again initiate the single-handed and rink tournaments. BRYN-ROAD SCHEME. The question of a bowling week will cer- tainly receive attention, and the Swansea Council will probably he approached in order that one of the greens may be placed at the disposal of the league if necessary, I understand that the Bryn-road Club is contemplating a bowling week. They had intended emulating theDinas Powis event just when war broke out. but since that time nothing has been done to further the idea. Last Saturday the members of the Bryn-road Club entertained a large number of wounded soldiers from the Pare Wern and Y.M.C.A. Hospitals. The soldiers were given a fine time and thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment pro- vided. The local Welsh Association had hoped to similarly entertain some of the boys from the front, but alter making pre- parations the soldiers, through some mis- understanding, failed to put in an appear- ance.

I BATTLEFIELD AWARDS I Welsh Recipients of D.S.O., Mihtary Cross and D.C.M. A special supplement to the London Gazette" on Friday night contains men- tion of a large number of Welshmen who have been awarded battlefield honours. The local list is as follows:— D.S.O. Captain (Temporary Major) Geoffrey Taunton Raikes, South Wales Borderers: He led forward bis reserve under very great difficulty with the greatest coolness and courage. After dark he personally supervised the withdrawal of his wounded. Major Archibald Jenner Ellis, Border Regiment: He led his reeerve under very heavy machine-gun fire til) he. was severely wounded. After this he continued to direct operations and to re-organise men in No Man's Land." Temporary Second-lieutenant Henry Cope Evans, General List, attached Royal Flying Corps For conspicuous gallantry and skill on many occasions in attacking hostile air- craft, frequently against large odds. In one fortnight he brought dojvn four enemy machines, returning on one occa- sion with his machine hadly damaged. Captain James Walker Jones, M.B., Indian Medical Service: For conspicuous gallantry and presence of mind in closing with a soldier who bad lost his reason and was moving along a trench prior to an attack with a bomb in each hand. Realising the situation. Captain Jones closed with him and wrenched one bomb from his hand. It immediately started to burn. Captain Jones threw it some yards away, and it burst on touching the ground. Two offi- cers were injured by the explosion, and several ohers might have been injured but for this prompt and courageous action. MILITARY CROSS. I Captain Charles Pritchard Clayton, Welsh Regiment.

CYCLING & MOTORING. Some Hints on Protection Against Rain. The summer, which now, unhappily, i? rapidly drawing to a close, has been hardly an ideal one sO far as weather is concerned, and there have been very few days when it was safe to venture more than c. mile or two away from homo without a mackin- tosh. It is possible that we may get a few week." of dry weather during the latter, part of September and October, but even so we must make up our minds that for the nevt few months we musr always ne pro- vided with a. suitable protection from rain. Personally, I think the idea! rainproof out- fit ha.3 yet to be invented for ail o~ those in common use fail in one or more re- spects. The following are the -points to ni,n for in a rninproof outfit-I, it must be watertight; Z. it must be light; 3, it inus.t protec the les as well as the brdy; 4, it nwi; allow full and unhampered use of brake and bell. and unrest ricted freedom for the legs; 5, it must not belly out ;n the wind. THE BEST COMPROMISE. There may be thought somewhat severe restrictions, but, in my opinion, they are all essential. The best compromise we have. I think, is the poncho (a one-piece, slip-over cape with au elastic neck) and a jpara pair of stockings This outfit ia the on-j I always use. These overalls fitting tight over the shins and buckling under the instep, affected by motor cyclists, are abm inations for the cyclist. They are in. sufferably hot. chafe the knees, and are for eve" catching in the crank. They are cer- taiuj, invaluable for keeping the clothns and boots clean on a short business run, but they are most unsuitable for distant., riding. The poncho is by no means ideal either, but it is cool wearing, allowing an unrestricted breeze from beneath, and covers the machine and rider well without interfering with the control of the machine. It should be worn sufficiently :ong to allow the tail to be eat upon, or. Alternatively, it should be secured at the back by means cf a tape loop tied round the waist. This prevents the cape from ballooning up and covering one's hea-d-a very risky thing to I happen. J VALVE TUBING. Considering its size, there is. nothing that I know of that can give more trouble than unsatisfactory valve tubing. The worry and work it entails are almoet unlimited. Nearly always when a tyre oontrecte the unpleasant habit of slowly deflating it ie due to a faulty valva. In a bad oaee you can find out if the leak "i« through the valve by dabbing a wet linger on the valve en- trance and watching for a. bubble. But when the leak is very slow ind(ip-(i-biit for all that, none the lese sure—it cannot be detected in this way. I think it ie a good plan always to fit a new piece of tubing in every CIWe of slow leakage. It is not- necessary, of course, for the valve rubbers to be absolutely perished before they allow air to escape.. They ecem sometimes to loac their elasticity and not grip the etem tightly. At other times they glue them- eeivee eo tightly to the etem as to prevent the easy paae ige of air into the tube. In this case constant pumping causes the tube to swell out,, and the etrain leads to it be- coming slightly porous. In removing the old tube see that no bits of rubber remain stuck to the stem. 4 SPARKING PLUG HINTS.. It is false economy to buy cheap sparking plugs for your motor cycle. Low price and dissatisfaction invariably go band in hand, 80 far as pluge are concerned, at any rate. The best plan is to buy one which is guar- anteed by the makers, which will be re- ploced free of charge in the -event of its I going wrong over a stipulated period. This i8 far the cheaper pl«u in the long run. Pluge with strong end thick insulation are beet,,for a motor cycle plug has to stand enormous pressure. The ptrtm-s -.Aouia 1.0 frequently cleaned with an old tooth brush dipped in petrol. Carbon deposit should never be allowed to settle on them. Al- ways have the lock nute on the shank screwed up tight. Kever carry a "dud" plug as a spare. Take in your tool-bag something on which yo uknow you can absolutely rely. One advantage poss«66ed by the plug with a single point over a plug with two or more points is thet. the risk of one of the pcinte coming adrift and falling into the cylinder is reduced to a minimum A plug placed over the inlet valve keens cleaner and cooler than one placed over the exhaust valve, and, therefore, retains its efficiency longer THE CURE FOR A POROUS TUBE. I have been greatly troubled lately with the front tube of my motor cycle per- sistently going flat. There was no punc- ture, for I had the tyre off twice and im- mersed the tube in water, but there wasn't a bubble to be seen. It was not due to a faurty valve, for, to make certain, I fitted new parts. There could, therefore, be but one other cause, namely, that the tube was porous. This it has proved to be, for after having treated it in the manner described balow I have had no more trouble. I mU-fd a quantity of tyro solution with benzine to make about a tumblerful of liquid solu- tion (just thin enough to pour easily). This solution wae introduced inside the tube via the valve hole, turning t-he tube about this way and that, so that the liquid might coat the rubber thoroughly all round. The twisting motion must be kept up 'for balf an hour or so after the introduction of the solution, afterwards leaving the tube for a couple of day% keeping the valve op.en.¡ i? order that air may enter and ? event the tube sticking together. The solution forms a film round the tube, and stops up the minute leaks t I) t I have deflated it- Tlrs is a much better plan than pOuring some French oheJk into the tube. MOTOR-CAR TYRE ECONOMY. Here are a few tips that will help you to get the greatest- mileage out of your tytw- a. thing that every motorist is most keenly amicus to do: Never put on the brake* when passing over rough metal. Pass over the part, if you can, with the clutch out; if you cannot do this, then on low gear, Never accelerate when going over unrolled metal. Where possibLe, keep two of the wheels oif the metal, if this can be man- aged without running over scattered stones. If nOt., then take the oar right over the centre of the metalled ro~d. In- dividual looee atones are more harmful than when whole roa-d is covered. Be sure and keep your tyres htly pumped. There is more harm dope to tyres by running with them insufficiently inflated than anything else. If the car is not going to be used for a few days it pays to jack it up so that all four wheels are off the gouad. Thre-P hlocke 01 wood- the jack takes the place of the fourth one- four or five incheo in diameter, and of suf- ficient height to raise the wheels a couple of inches off the ground, answer the pur- pise excellently. This relieves t-he tyres of all weight and pacle to their life very con- siderably. AMERICAN MOTOR CAR INDUSTRY. The dimensions to whioh the American motor-car industry hae grown are simp astounding. Some very remarkable figures I have just been published in a contempo- rary concerning the growth of the buMne?. and it i# estimated that by January 15,. 1917, thare rW be one car to ev?ry twenty- n? of th, population o? the United Sta?ea. In ether words, there will be in use no fewer than 3.W;6(>4 cars, the ag-I gregate value of which o?er X40(il(?)OIDW In the Sta.te of Iowa there is to-day one I car to every fourteen inhabitants, and one manufacturer, during the first sit months of the present, year. turned out carp to the value of £ 24.0^0,000 Between January 1st and July 1st of this year the Ford Com. I pany made 296,000 cars, or an average of j 1,909 for each working day. In the same period the Willys-Over lend supplied 94,477, and the Maxwell firm 40,000. FORD FIGURES. Detroit and the State of Michigan turned out during the. firet haJf of 1916 well over half a. million cars, and of this output, it is pointed out. only 4J per cent. was shipped abroad. The ftauret relating to the, Ford factory a-re, perhaps, the most astounding of all. It would almost seem as though this car is now being made on lines ap- proximating to the American ideal of put- ting a, continuous stream of raw material into a chute and getting out finished cars at the other end, day and night, year in and year out. In 1905-4 there were 1,708 cars made and sold, at. the rate of five per flay. In 1916 the output will have reached 5J3.921 at the present rate of ISlt, per day, and these will be worth over £ 40.000,000. Won- derful as these figures are, places are be- ing made greatly to increase the ioiitpiit next year, which is expected to total 750.000 cars. The plant is now being greatly en- larged. and upwajds of 24,000 more men will be engaged. "THE WANDERER."

LLANELLY SPOTTING GOSSIP. It is a remarkable fact that no branch of sport in Llanelly has been taken up io a comparatively short space of time with greater interest than bowls. The game of bowls has often beenescribed as a pastime for the "old 'une," but an occasional v.sit to the Pare Howard green wiT repeat the fact that in Llanelly, at any rate." youth does not draw the line even at bowls. In- deed during fine weather both greens are in fu'l swing, and it can safely be said that the Llanelly Corporation uever embarked upon a wiser scheme than that, to provide two bowling greens at Pare Tfow^rd. There h a fascination for these greens which is not felt for others in the town. Situated on a point of eminence, a splendid view of Carmarthen Bay and the Gower coast Pnrt tho sirroitnt-ling country is- commanderl from them, and delightful arc- the after- noons and evening's spent there. SINGLES TOURXAMEXT. Several tournaments have been played at Pare Howard of late, and these have pro- v.i-.l«*l rare enjoyment for hundreds of people. The singles tourna.ment for the Fare Howard Club members proved cfhe of the most interest iug witnessed on the Par< greens. There were 32 competitors, and the semi-Snalists were W. Thomas v D. Lewi and W. Rogers v. Bert Hanbury. In tb. fiual Lewis and Rogers appeared, the latter vanning easily. A singles competition was also arranged for the Tuesday section, which now. consists of some splendid players, bix- te--n of whom took part. The finalists were qiJ i. 1 -.81 1 r l eral Club, and J. James, the la iter winning th" match. Adverse conditio:* prevailed during the game, and neither cf the play- ers had a real opportunity of displaying their abilities. A NARROW MARGIN. AJthcr of the tournaments which was decided during this week was the rink tc-irnameut. This competition proved mon exciting than any of the others, the resuli being decidcd by a very narrow ;.nar¡.! The winners were Ben -ugh, Dd. Phillip3, Wm. Davie.3, and D. Lewis. The doubles competition has not yet been decided, the semi-final stage only having been rcached. The games to decide the compelitioos for the final are. Bert Hanbury and W. Kegels v. Wm. John Recs and John Williams, intl J. James and G. Stacey v. 0 Susseli and T. Skym. PARC HOWARD CHAMPIONSHIP. A tournament known as the 1'aic Howard Championship tournament has been ar- ranged, for which excellent prizes (value) are given. Mr. Albert Walton* Robinson street, a well-known member of the Libera-j Cluo has given three guineas tor-arris ttn priic list, and the Pare Howard bowk-rs a grateful to Mr. Walton for his generosity. Tho preliminary has already been played, and some keen games are anticipated in the various heato. AT TUB WEI/US. W Skym, a Pare Howard bowler. has done w-ill at Llandrindod this'season, being one of the finalists in two of the competitions oa the Recreation Ground, and it is a strange coincidence that on both occasions he liai been opposed to two brothers. In the July Sweepstakes competition lie played Frank Wills, Llandrindod, in the final, and lost by four points, Last week h >. leached the final stage fn the Open Challenge Gup competition, and played Andrew Mills, who had twice previously won the cup. Skym played a. fine game, and only lost by the narrow niargftT of three points, the final score reading 21—18. The! game was witnessed by a large crowd of spectators, Mr. Adams (Llanelly) being the referee The Llanelly bowler had an excel- lent reception.

REV. TERTIUS PHILLIPS Death of Weli-Known Welsh Organiser. The dpath of the Ifcv. J. Tertiusl Phillips took pla-e at Mount Plfvsusant. Seethog, Brecon, on Thursday, at the comparatively early age of 58. x The deceased gentleman, who for so many years was the well-known superin- tendent of the United Kingdom Alliance in South Wales, was lx>rn at Seethog in 1858, and received bis early education .at the National School at Talybont. He showed a distinct leaning towards the Nonconformist pulpit in his youth, and at first felt drawn to the miMscnary field. He passed the entrance examination to the Airedale College. Bradford, but before completing his course accepted a call to Cwmbran. His, subsequent paptorares were at Ferndale, Victoria (Mon.), and New Tredegar. At the latter place he established two new churches—one Welsh and one Eng- lish. Later, he took over the pastorate care of Bethel Church, at Penarth. In 1888 he removed to Cardiff ae superinten- dent for the Western Temperance League, a position he held for four years, and was afterwards appointed superintendent of the United Kingdom Alliance for Soutih Wales. He was a splendid organiser, a telling speaker, a ray writer, and an en- ergetic. politician.
