THE FOOTBALL COMBINATION. ANNUAL MEETING AT CHESTER. Th3 adjourned annual meeting of the Football Combination was held at Chester on Saturday. when the composition of the elevens and other matters were decitlsd uP°n- • m Brougliton, Birkenhead and Wigan Town were the last thres clubcs in the table of the season just completed. Broughton made no application for re- admission, and Glossop and Port Sunlight r-etire-fl. Birkenhead were unanimously re-admitted. In the case of Wigan Town, who took up Middlewich's fixtures last season they gave an undertaking at the time that they would at least remain members of the Combination for another season. They were recently ad- ) mitted members of the Lancashire League, and now desired to be relieved of their ob- ligations to the Combination. After a lengthy discussion, it was decided that Wigan Town should adhere to their agree- ment with the Combination. Wrexham, Wrexham Victoria, and Well- ington Town sought admission to tho Com- bination. Representatives from the differ- ent clubs were heard, and as the result of the voting, which was by ballot, the three applications were granted. In the ca&e of Wrexham, it was explained by their repre- Soenta.ti) that the club would have sufficient professionals to run two strong elevens this next season. Wellington Town, who were recently members of the Birmingham and District League were at one time in the Combination, and always gave a creditable account of themselves. Wrexham Victoria have been in existence for some ven years, ana tneir reoora is » llU wioau wro. Next season's Combination will b3 com- posed of the following elevens: Whitchurch, Chester. Druids. Tranmere Rovers. Crewe Alexandra, Nantwich, Oswestry. Bangor, Rhyl, Chirk. Birkenhead, Wi^n Town. Wellington Town. Wrexham and Wrexham Victoria. MOTION BY OSWESTRY WITHDRAWN. A matter of no small moment to Bangor was a notice of motion from the last general meeting by Oswestry with respect to Ban- gor's payments to Birkenhead and Tran- meoi. When Bangor were first admitted to the Combination they undertook to compen- sate certain clubs in the matter of railway fares from Rhyl to Bangor. Since that ar- rangement was entered into Tranmere and Birkenhead are the only teams now in the Combination, and the object of the notice of motion was that the arrangement should be abolished altogether or that it should be extended to other clubs. Oswestry asked leave to withdraw too notice of motion, which waa unanimously agreed to. Bangor's obligation to Tranmere and Birkenhoad still remains. PROPOSED ALTERATION OF RULES. Crewe Alaxandra had given notice to pro- pose certain alterations and modifications to rules, which were accepted. The most important had reference to Rule 2. which now will read: "The Annual General Meet- ing shall be held on the 1st Saturday in June in each year. Each club shall be en- titled to one representative at all Combina- tion meetings. The representative attend- ing the general meeting shall appoint the officers, viz.. a president, treasurer, and secretary, who with one representative from each club shall constitute the executive." ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The following W06r. appointed officers for the ensuing season: Mr R. E. Lythcoe, pn3si(Lont: Mr R. Atherton, secretary; Mr W. R. Clayton, treasurer, and Mr Fletcher, auditor. Saturday. July 7th, was decided upon as the date to complete fixtures for the forth- coming season, and September 22nd for the fixture Whitchurch (last season's champ- ions) v. Rest of Combination, for the bene- fit of the Combination funds. Ground, etc.. will be decided upon at a later date. The usual votes of thanks toO the offi- oora, etc.. terminated the meeting.

Geirionydd Rural District Council. PENMACHNO WATER SUPPLY. COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CLERK OF WORKS. CONDITION OF CAPEL CURIO SCHOOL. A special meeting of the aboye Council was held at the Llanrwst Workhouse, on Tuesday, when there were present: Mr E. Jones-Williams (in the chaaT), the Rev. John Gower, Messr* Matthew Roberts, E. W. Roberts, 0. E. Parry, Ellis Pieree, and Thomas Hughes, with the clerk (Mr R. R. Owen), and the surveyor (Mr R. H. Williams). CWM WATER SUPPLY. THE COUNCIL AND THE CLERK OF WORKS. At the last meeting of the Council a complaint was made that Mr Jarrett Evans, the clerk of the Cwm Water Supply Works, did not attend to his work as he should do, and the Council de- cided to ask him to attend that meeting of the Council to give an explanation. The Chairman now read a letter from Mr Evans, stating that he waa unable to attend, owing to hie having to be present whilst some important work was being carried out. Mr E. W. Roberts: This is simply child's play. The Chairman thought it was important that he should be at his work whilst they were putting the finishing touch to tho reservoir. The Surveyor said that water was found be- tween the sheeting and the concrete of the reser- voir. The water was raising the sheeting, and holes had to be bored through it. He was of opinion that the work should be looked after by the clerk of works. The Rev. John Gower said he would not allow the work to be done at all if the concrete did not hold water. This was only an excuse for Mr Evans not to come before the Council. Mr E. W. Roberts did not see where the im- portance of the work came in a week previous, especially when the foreman was at Llanrwst all day. Did they think he would be away all day if there was important work? Mr Gower: Not at alL Mr E. W. Roberts: It is only a very poor ex- cuse for not coming here. The Chairman disagreed, and argued that the Council were to blame for asking the man to come there during working hours. Mr Matthew Roberts said he had never seen Mr Evans, and knew nothing about him. By his letter he (Mr Roberts) thought he was a man who looked after his work properly. Mr E. W. Roberts said this matter was called attention to about two months ago, and he should like to know whose fault it was that the clerk of works had not appeared before the Council on a previous occasion. The Clerk explained that this was a special meeting, and it was he who suggested that Mr Evans should attend that day, but he stated to him that there was important work to do at Clvm. He asked him (Mr Owen) what was beet to be done, and he advised him to stay, as he could give an explanation to the Council again. The discussion closed, and the Chairman in- formed the members that the clerk of works would attend the next ordinary meeting. THE DISINFECTING OF SCHOOLS. A letter was read from Mr Parry, Brynderwen, Bettwsyooed, respecting too providing of disin- fectants for different schools. The Chairman here remarked that the Capel Ourig school was not fit for habitation. Mr Matthew Roberts added thai it was posi- tively dangerous for children to congregate there, especially at this time of the year. Mr EUis Pierce remarked that there were only a few children attending the school, and Mr Matthew Roberts replied that it did not matter if there were only thrco children going there. Mr Ellis Pierce, who is a member of the Educa- tion Committee, asked why the question should be raifvxl now more than when the education of the children was in the hands of the Church? Mr Matthew Roberts said he was not going against any denomination, but he wished to look after the health of the little ones. It was ultimately decided to serve notice on the County Council of Carnarvon to abate the nuisance. ROMAN BRIDGE ROAD. Mr E. B. Lloyd, Dolwyddelsn, wrote complain- ing about the dangerous condition of the road leadine from Roman Bridge Station. He stated that it was extremely narrow with an open space on one side. The Surveyor said it was a very narrow road, and there was no doubt it was dangeroiu. If an accident occurred there he had no doubt but that the Council would be responsible. It was agreed to leave the matter in the hands of the Surveyor to do the best he could. DOLWYDDELEN WATER SUPPLY. The question of the Dolwyddelen water supply was left over for a few weeks.

COLWYN BAY BIGAMY CASE. TWO DAYS' IMPRIS'ONMENT FOR A PAINTER AN INTERRUPTION ASTONISHES THE COURT. Arthur Leigh (30), who formerly carried on business as painter and decorator at Rhos and Colwyn Bay, as a partner in the firm of Leigh and Booth, was indicted for bigamy at the Car- narvonshire Assizes on Thursday. It was alleged that he married \f arv Ann Hughes at Conway in November, 1902, his lormer wife, to whom he was married in April, 1892, being then alive. Mr Ellis J. Griffith, M.P. (instructed by Mr J. J. Marks), prosecuted, and Mr Owen Roberts, Cheater (instructed by Mr Blisa Hill), defended. The prisoner having pleaded guilty, Mr E. J. Griffith briefly opened the case, and explained that the prisoner's excuse was the alleged mis- conduct of his wife. Mr Justico Sutton asked whether the second wifi} fr it aggrieved in any way? Mr Griffith My friend, Mr Roberts, is going to speak to you about that. Mr Owen Roberts stated that on Sept. 7th Mrs Leigh and her husband entered into a deed of separation, and it was arranged that if he paid her 10s a week she would make no com- plaint about him living with the other woman, whom he married. The prosecution would agree with him when he said that the prisoner had always been a sober hard-working man, having been a life-long abstainer. At Colwyn Bay he was held in high esteem, and not only was he a member of the choir, but ho held the position of sidesman. Ho went to live to Leigh, near Manchester, where he was em- ployed in a brewery, and, rightly or wrongly, being under the impression that it was enough that his wife had misconducted herself with an actor, he lived with the other woman. That fact so upset him that he went out to Canada. However, ho did not leave his first wife desti- tute, for be gave her a houseful of furniture and a lodging-house business. In fact, he left her everything, and made every provision for her. He (Mr Roberts) was further instructed that when ho left for Canada the wife ex- pressed the wish that he would never return to this country, and he took that very much to heart. He remained in Canada for twelve months, and then returned again, and saw an advertisement in the newspapers of a vacancy in Colwyn Bay. He obtained the situation, and remained there some time, giving every satisfaction. On Sept. 7th. 1904, ho entered into a deed of separation with his wife. The Judge: Did he make any false state- ments to his second wife ? Mr Owen Roberts: I Jon't think ho made any false statement. The Judge: When did the learn he was married before? Mr Owen Roberts: In 1902, when the proper wife came over and told Miss Hughes, the second wife, that he was married to her. She also snid that she was going- to marry another man. Lhe prisoner became extremely fond of Miss Hughes, and married her. He is extreme- ly sorry for what he has done. The Judge: What is the worst, thing that Miss Hughes can say if she goes il.to the box? .'A KIND HUSBAND." Mr Roberts: She will say that the prisoner has been very kind to her. that he was one, of the kindest of men, and she has ti ied to do aU she can for him in his present trouble. The Judge: So the second lady has no sort of oomplaint against the prisoner for what he had done"? Mr Roberts: That is so. Mr Ellis J. Griffith: Yes, and I might say that separation proceedings were not taken until after a considerable time had elapsed, and the first wife took the money knowing that he was living with another woman. Mr, Roberts added that the proper wife came down to Colwyn Bay and spoilt his business, with the result that he had to leave the place to obtain work. He appealed to the Judge to say that the caae was an exceptional one, and to romember the prisoner expressed sincere regret, but the fact was that he had been driven from his wife. He had work in Liverpool, where he cculd go to. For five weeks he had been in prison awaiting trial. The Judge (addressing the prisoner): I have Listened to all that has been said on your behalf and under the circumstances I will only sentence you to two days' imprisonment. Upon hearing the light sentence a woman, un- derstood to bo the sister of the prisoner's second wife, astonished the oourt by loudly shouting, "Hear, hear."

THE LLANR WST EISTEDDFOD. [To tha Editor of the "Pioneer. '] Sir,—Your report of tn" Llanrwst Eisteddfod DO doubt contain tho result of tho exami- nation for a scholarship, tenable for three years at the County School, and open to the children of any Elementary School in the County School area. This is the third time that the scholar- ship has been awarded since its foundation, and its history derives no little interest from the present education crisis. That in each of the three years it has been won by a girl is interesting to the student of sex. That in each year the winner has come from the same rchooi (Llanrwst National) is not so important as the fact that that school is a Church School, and that the competitors in- cluded pupils of Board Schools (the old nomen- clature is both more familiar and more intel- ligible). Last year the name of the school was not mentioned at all from the platform the winner was a Nonconformist child, but was educated at a Church School,-and that was enough. This year the school was announc d, but there I was scanty applause from an audience composed mainly of Nonconformists. One knows tho capi- tal that would have leen made out of a Non- conformist success, and the sermons that would have been preached on the text. "Blow your own trumpet" is an excellent motto which oc- cupies a foremost place among the headlines of Nonconformist <-opy books. Let the Church take the leaf which contains it: that is the justification of this letter. The Nonconformist claims to act on principle and theory. Let him test his principle and his theory on the louchstone of hard fact. But it is sad that the divergences between the fact aifd the theory can be bridged over by that most wondeiful of inventione- Lh,- telescopic con- science. After 11, is the teaching in Church Schools really the inefficient thing produced by the nightmares of political agitators? PRO ECCLESIA.

Llanrwst and District Grouped Schools. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual .neeting of the managers of the Llanrwst ind District Grouped Council Schools was held at Llanrwst on Tuesday evening, when there were present Mr W. J. Williams (retiring chairman). Rev.

Will'ame, Llwyn Du; Wn.. Hashes, J.P., David Roberts, Capel Garmon; with the clerk (Mr J. E. Hum- phreys), the assistant clerk (Mr E. Thomas), and the attendance officer (Mr Thomas Williams). ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND V ICE- CHAIRMAN. On the motion of tobQ Rev. Cynwyd Williams, seconded by the Rev. Rawson Williams, Mr W. J. Williams was re-elected chairman for the en- suing year, and he briefly returned thanks for the confidence reposed in him. The Rev. Rawson Williams was re-elected vioe-chairrna-n on th, proposition of Mr J. R. Griffiths, seconded by Mr David Evans. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. According to a return submitted to the meet- ing tho percentages of attendance at the element- ary schools in the district durmg the four weeks ended May 25th, 1906, were as follows:- Llanddoget, 97.6; B. Llangermew, So; Gwyth- orki, 94.3: Pentrefoelas, 94; Llanrwst N.l. a, 94: Llanrwst N.P b, 93; Llanrwst Council (in- fante), 92.6; Capel Garmon, 92.6; Nebo 92; Llanrwst Council a, 90 6; Glan Conwav, 90.1; Llanrwst Girls', 90, Liamg-wnlcw, 90; Eglwys- bach, 88.3. The Chairman referred to the fact that Eglwysbach were again the lowest on the list of attendances. The schoolmaster had had notice to send in a list of the names of the chil- dren who were very bad in their attendance. This had been done, and the parents now ap- peared before the managers The general excuse made by the parents was that their children were kept at home to plant potatoes, etc., and on each of them pro- mising to let the children attend regularly in future the managers made the usual order. All the schools, with the exception of Eglwys- bach, were granted the usual half-holiday for good attendance. COMMITTEES The Finance Committee and the Attendance Committee were re-elected. NANTYRHIW SCHOOL. The Building Committee of the County Edu- cation Authority have given sanction to their legal adviser, Mr W. R. Evans, to buy the land necessary for the purpose of erecting a new school at Nantÿrhiw. PROPOSED DUAL SCHOOLS AT LLAN- RWST. With respect to the formation of mixed schools in Llanrwst, the Education Authority wrote stating that according to the architect's report, it would not be possible to alter the present buildings so as to convert them into dual schools at a less cost than £1000, and in the face of this large expenditure, the idea, therefore, fell to the ground. SUCCESSFUL PUPIL TEACHERS. A letter was read from Mr Thomas, head- master of the N.P. school, calling attention to the fact that Miss Hannah Jane Jones, a pupil teacher in that school, who recently passed the King's Scholarship Examination in the first | class, intended sitting the Welsh University Matriculation Examination this month, AND 1M thought that she should be granted time fall study, and also that he should be given atsi» tance at the school. The Chairman said chat Miss Jones and Mix Grctta Rowlands of the Council School, ha4 passed the King's Scholarship Examination il. the first class. In the whole of North Walct only eight passed first class, and seven of thes4 were from Denbighshire and two from Llaa rwst. On the motion of the Rev. Cynwyd Williarvl it was decided to send a letter of congratulat' to the teachers as well as the young ladies.
