THE BELVOIR HOTEL'S AFFAIRS. MR MIDDLEHURST THINKS HE IS CRUELLY TREATED. At Chester Police Court on Tuesday, John Edward Middlehnrst, Wellington Chambers, Vic- toria Street, Manchester, arbitrator and valuer, was summoned for having failed to disclose to the Official Receiver for Chester and North Wales (Mr Ll Hugh-Jones) all the information required by him in reference to the winding up of the Belvoir and Pier Hotel Company, Limited, Rhyl, of which he was director. The Official Receiver made a statement on oath to the effect that on the loth July an order was made in the Bangor County Court for the winding up of the Belvoir and Pier Hotel Company, under the Companies' winding-up acts, upon a petition which was filed last December. The defendant was chairman of the company and a large shareholder, and claimed, further, to be a large creditor to the concern. He was the founder of the hotel, and carried it on until he formed it into a company. Very little capital was subscribed by the outside public, and the company was practically the defendant. Upon the winding up of the company, defendant was called upon to file a statement of accounts, but although in a letter he wrote to the Official Receiver he admitted that be was chairman of the company, he had failed to do so, and bad rendered himself liable to a fine of X10 for every day he had made default. The only document he (the Official Receiver) had received, and it could not pretend to be a statement of accounts, was one which gave a list of creditors, and showed that the liabilities of the company were £ 1,596 0s. Id., of which defendant claimed to be a creditor for 11.030, leaving £ 546 due to outside creditors. In addition it stated that there was £ 132 one for wages, and that there were unsecured creditors and mortgages amounting to £ 5,380. Even that return was very incomplete, and the addresses of seven or eight creditors were not given. Under these circumstances he (the Official Receiver) asked the Bench to impose a fine which would ensure that the defendant performed his duties under the winding-up act, and enable a meeting of creditors to be held, the estate to be realised, and the causes of failure investigated. Defendant said his solicitor waa unfortunately unable to attend, but he submitted a letter to the bench from him, contending that the Chester magistrates had no jurisdiction under the act, that it was defendant's interest as a large share- holder to disclose everything, that he must have a reasonable time in which to prepare a statement to which he could pledge his oath, and that under the circumstances the magistrates might grant an adjournment for a week to enable this to be done. Mr Middlehurst supplemented this by recounting all the steps he had taken to procure the necessary information, and assuring the bench that be would do his utmost to comply with the order as soon as was possible. He pointed out, however, that he was not a paid servant of the company. He did not get a farthing for his services, and because he happened to have some knowledge of the affairs of the company and the other directors, it was not the position of the liquidator to single him out and say if he did not comply with everything required he would be dragged before the police court. He thought a more arbitrary and more cruel or unwarranted course of procedure bad never been before that or any other bench. The magistrates, after deliberation in private, decided that they had jurisdiction in the matter, but granted an adjournment of the proceedings for a week to enable defendant to file the necessary accounts asked for by the Official Receiver.

CYCLING NEWS & GOSSIP. II The large amount of attention which has been devoted to braking power within the past few years has resulted in the almost universal acceptance of the rim brake as the most reliable and satisfactory. There is one point, however, with rim brakes, that wheelmen must be careful about, and that is, the rim itsr-if. It stands to reason that as the rim has tit withstand the retarding force, it must be excep- tionally strong as well as suitable in design. Huch a rim we have found in the DnuU p-Weleh. Since we commenced using a rim brake acting 011 a Dun- lop-Welch rim, we have not once had cause to complain indeed it has been most satisfactory in every respect. lender the denomination of the Roads Improve- ment Association there exists in this country a bo.i. composed chiellv of cyclists and automobilists, which continually wage war against those authori- lies who fail in their duty of keeping the highways in an efficient state of repair, in other words, the Association looks after the interest of road users. On August the 1st a deputation of the Association waited upon the President of the Local Govern- ment Board with proposals for certain changes in ihe existing system of highway administration and tUthougli they were courteously received by Mr. Walter Long, the President, his reply was not al- together satisfactory, indeed, lie did not seem to grasp the importance of the deputation. There can be no getting away from the fact that with the great increase of road traffic, caused by cyclists aud automobilists, and the growing tendency amongst the British to explore their native country, something will have to be done to keep up .with the requirements of the times. It is indeed satisfactory to cyclists to hear of a public body recommending an improvement that is to their good and interest, and the Parks Com- mittee of the London County Council have earned their esteem in this respect. The recommendation, the result of a petition presented from Hampstead, is to the effect that. a path for wheelmen should be made across that portion of Hampstead HeMh known as Parliament Hill, so that a. jnr.rl.ion will be formed with an existing path by the bathing ponds and the highway known as Milllield Lane, The proposed path is to be ten feet wide and 2, "WO feet long. From other parts of the country signs are not wanting that the requirements of wheel- men are being acknowledged, a happy state of affairs to what existed some few years ago. (

An English Foreman on German Work- shops and German Workmanship. A correspondent connected with one of the great manufacturing firms of this country has sent as the following report from one of his fore- men, who was lately sent by the firm to inspect some of the more recent workshops in Germany. Our correspondent adds that the writer of the report stated verbally "that the men in the shops he visited appeared to be trying to do their best, not, as is often the case here, only what is neces- sary to pass muster." Works.—Well arranged. Each department self-contained; no traffic of workmen from one department to another great economy in transit of material. Light and ventilation and method of drawing dust from machines are excellent. Every provision made for the personal cleanliness of the workmen. I Workmen.—Clean, orderly, with steady hands and great delicacy ot touch; full of interest in. their work, working steadily from bell to bell, and never taking advantage of the foreman's absence. Each man at his post just as ready and anxious to start at the appointed time as our men are to leave off. Quality and Cost of Machining.—Kept in beautiful working order. with great economy in use of oil and stores generally. One man working two, three, or four machines, according to the nature of the work. I watched the application of their various tools, timed the operatians, and gauged the quality of the work, which I found to be excellent, both turning, planing, milling, and boring, and taking one operation with another, their cost of machining would be about one half the cost of ours. Accurate Tools and Method of Producing Them.—Their tools for testing and gauging work are of the most improved kind, giving a positive reading to a much finer degree than ours. Their method of producing cutting tools for giving correct form of thread, &c., are excellent, and enable the workmen to proceed on well defined lines with very great accuracy. My visit was in every respect educational in point of order, system, accuracy, and economy, and the problem which I set myself is the appli- cation as far as possible of the variou3 improved methods which I have seen to the greater and more varied productions of our work."

How Country People read Advertisements. "The Pall Mall Gazette," in an article on Country Literature, some time back, said .—For the most part readers in town (London) and suburbs only glance at the exciting portions of papers, and then cast them aside. Readers in the villages read every line from the first column to the last, and from the title to the printer's address. The local papers are ploughed steadily through, just as the horses plough the fields, and every furrow of type conscientiously followed from end to end, advertisements and all. The brewer's, the grocer's, the draper's, the ironmonger's advertise- ments (market-town tradesmen), which have been there month after month, are all read, and the sljghest change immediately noted. If there were any advertisements of books suitable to their taste it would be read in exactly the same manner. So it would in a daily paper whenever it got to them. But in advertising for country people one fact must be steadily borne in mind-tbat they are slow to act; that is, the advertisement to produce any result must be permanent. A few insertions are forgotten before those who have seen them made up their minds to purchase. When an ad- vertisement is always there, bv-and-by the thought suggested acts on the will and the stray coin is invested-it may be six months after the first inclination arose. The procrastination of country people is inexplicable to hurrying London men. But it is quite useless to advertise unless it is taken into account. If permanent, an advertise- ment in the lecal press will reach its mark.

Who will catch hold of the Bird Catcher ? £ £ prre^P°n<^6nt draws attention to the necessity of affording further protection to wild birds and preventing, if possible, the depredations of the bird-catcher in particular. This sinister object, who plies his trade in our highways and fields, is responsible for untold mischief, and has practically denuded many localities of their native songsters. It is truly astonishing with what indifference landowners, farmers, and others look on whilst he is busily capturicg bis prey. But he is not the only foe of our wild birds. There is the game- keeper, who considers it his business to capture alive or dead any rare specimen that may cross his path. Scarcely less destructive to bird life also is the schoolboy, who is a wholesale robber of nests, and carries on his nefarions practices in such corners as are never penetrated by the town or village policeman, who should make it his business to see that the Wild Birds Protection Act is set in motion. The Act will be practically a dead letter until it is backed up by a strong public opinion. The community must be taught that in our wild birds we have a priceless inheritance, which, once destroyed, can never be restored.

Our Friends the Wasps. Another old-fashioned notion that promises to be effaced by the precise observation of modern scientists is that relating to the disagreeable habits of wasps. Tnis is the wasp season, as most trippers into the country must have observed; indeed, wherever there is a pic-nic just now it is safe to say that a few of these insects, in the role of uninvited guests, are hovering over the preserve dishes. It must be granted that they exact a heavy toll on the orchards and fruit gardens, but, on the other band, a still heavier toll would, but for the wasps, be levied by the aphides and other injurious insects that infest the trees and bushes, and whom the wasps prey upon. Nor does this exhaust the catalogue of waspish virtues. Theee much-feared insects are declared to be practical scavengers, who make away with decaying or putrid meat scraps and rotting vegetables, and are the deadly enemies of several kinds of small household insect pests. And as for waspishness' itself, we are assured by the same accurate observers that the wasp behaves himself admirably towards the human family so long as they let him alone. I
