The Fight in Flint- shire. (BY FIAT Lux.") Up to the moment of writing, all the indications go to show that as far as Flint- shire is concerned there will be no fight in the county, seeing that upon this occasion the Conservatives are finding considerable difficulty in raising the sinews of war. In addition they are beginning to see the utter futility of throwing money away in an absolutely hopeless attempt to capture TIIIS STRONGHOLD OF LIBERALISM. It is more than likely, however, that there will again be a gallant fight in the Flint Boroughs, and the sight of Colonel Howard -the supposed candidate—and his chief of staff, Mr. Tilby, pacing the Rhyl station platform on Wednesday last in the teeth of the rain and in earnest conversation lends colour to this view. It would be more than a modern political miracle, however, if what the glib Mr. Tilhy tailed to accomplish is accomplished by a prince of platitudinarians in the person of the present prospective candidate, whose attitude for years towards Mr. Summers at the various meetings of the Flintshire County Council has reflected anything but credit either upon himself or the party he represents. It is most likely, too, that the Tory trier will be reminded of these past episodes when he begins to stump the country, and especially when he comes to address a Mold audience. No doubt his last round with Mr. Summers is still fresh in his mind. On that occasion the Liberal member reminded him of the fact that he had to use strong language to him once before, and he hoped that he would not feel obliged to do so again. Those present at that meeting will remember that in the teeth of such cutting remarks Colonel floward laid low and sed nuffink," as if the world itself had toppled on to him. The writer, who witnessed the entire inci- dent, does not think for one moment that even the Colonel himself is proud of the manner in which he conducted himself that day when he sugested that someone else was entitled—as far as he was concerned— to be believed before Mr. Summers. From the position which he took up the speaker was forced to withdraw, but not before he had made a strenuous attempt to deny hav- ing said the words. Denial, however, was useless, with the result that not only did Colonel Howard withdraw, but he apolo- gised for having spoken words which he never under the circumstances should have spoken at all. The whole incident was a discreditable one, and he came out of it with anything but flying colours. Nor have the public forgotten his refer. ence to Mr. Summers as one who owns a FEW shares in an ironworks at Queen's Ferry." That was years ago, but here again the writer would like to call to mind—al- though he does not think it necessary-the nature of the reply which Mr. John Philip Jones, of Holywell, made to this attack of the Colonel's. Doubtless it is still rankling in the mind of the Tory militant how he left his flank so unexpected to such a storm of shrapnel as Mr. Philip Jones got in on him upon that occasion. For when Councillor Jones is out for scalps, he doesn't mince his words, and his reference to the fact that he would not demean himself by stooping to such under- handed attacks beyond all doubt went home. With regard to Mr. Summers and his few shares," Mr. Jones took care to make it clear that he was a prominent member in a firm which paid in one week more wages than certain Territorial magnates paid in a year. Here, again, it was a case of 'nuff sed." The cap ..fitted once more, and once more, too, the gallant Colonel proved him- self as nimble as any Boer in getting out of the defile into which his rashness had rushed him. It is well, however, that the electorate should remember such things, because in a day or two they will be called upon to choose between two men, and little illustrations such as these are helpful in the process of deciding which is the better man of the two. With regard to the Liberal candidate, the writer challenges either Colonel Howard or his chief intelligence officer, Mr. Tilby, to point to a single unkind, discourteous or uncivil word or action upon his part to- wards them during all the years he has been lightiug them tooth end nail. In this re- spect, Mr. Herbert Lewis's reference at Mold to Mr. Summers as a rock in the ocean which defies all attempts upon the part of the tempest to destroy it was not only ex- ceedingly happy but absolutely true. In the coming contest the electorate should not be deceived if Colonel Howard dose give a little touch now and again of strange, mys- terious intellectual ability. They should not be surprised, but should bear in mind the words The hands are the hands of Esau, but the voice is the voice of Jacob." With regard to the Jacob in question, it is very doubtful if he will be much heard. bearing in mind the drumming he received at the last time of asking. In any case it is sincerely to be hoped that their confession of faith" will not on this occasion make its appearance IN PINK COVERS so as once again to earn for itself the title of the Pink 'Un," as it did last election at the hands of Mr. Hemmerde. The fact that there will be few contests in North Wales will enormously strengthen the hopes of Liberals with regard to the Denbigh Bor. oughs, and the writer appeals, and appeals with confidence, to all to do their utmost in order that this their last stronghold may be wrested from them.

Colwyn Bay Appeal Dismissed. Mr. Justice Bucknill, in the Kind's Bench Division, gave his decision in Mav last in a case of some interest to Colwyn Bay house- holders in regard to the tenancy of a house in Bay View-road. The plaintiffs were lesrs. W. P. Mitchell and G. M. Mitchell, the defendant being Mrs. Annie Oswald, a widow. The plaintiffs were represented by Mr. McCarthy, instructed by Messrs. T. H. Morgan and Co., Cclwyn Bay, and for defendant was Mr. E. H. Hansel, instructed by Messrs. Porter, Amphlett & Co., of Colwyn Bay, Conway, and Llanrwst. The action, said Mr. McCarthy, was an appeal from a district registrar, who had given judgment for the possession of a house. His Lordship thought there was a point to be argued, and gave leave to defend. The point was as to the interpretation of an agree- ment for tenancy, and the sole question was whether the notice to quit in the wording of the agreement was a good and sufficient notice. Counsel submitted it was. The house in question was let originally to a Mrs. Roberts. The defendant, Mrs. Oswald, was a lodger. A fresh agreement was entered into with her on the 2-tth August, 1909, but in consequence of certain complaints made by the Medical Officer cf Health, the landlord gave the defendant notice on the 30th August, six days after she had entered into the agree- ment. The agreement provided that the tenant was to hold the house from August 1st, 1909, from year to year. until six calendar months' notice to quit was given by either party, the said notice to expire on the 1st dav of March in any year. He submitted that was six months' notice at any time, and that the tenant had not obtained an agreement for one year certain. His Lordship said lie thought that the reading of the agreement was that the parties contracted that the defendant should be a tenant for at least one year certain, and after that year expired, then in any subsequent year the notice referred to could be given. There would be judgment for the defendant with costs. A stay of execution was granted. On the 28th of May the plaintiff served notice of appeal to set aside the judgment of Mr. Justice Bucknill in favour of the de- fendant, or, alternatively, that a new trial might be had between the parties. The appeal came on in the Court of Appeal on Friday last. Mr. McCarthy (instructed by Messrs. T. H. Morgan & Co.) was again for the plaintiff, and Mr. Page (instructed by Messrs. Porter, Amphlett & Co.; for the cle fendant. It was ordered that Mr. Justice Bucknill's judgment be affirmed, and the appeal was accordingly dismissed with costs.

Football f. un at Bettws- y-Coed. MARK J EI) V. SINGLE. On Saturday an interesting match was played between the married members and the single members of the Bettws-y-Coed club. The single members had naturally an advantage, being in better training form after the recent cup fight. Nevertheless, the married XI. gave an excellent account of themselves, and with a trifle more luck would have been on even terms with their oppon- ents. The game opened in a very even fashion, and both ends were visited in turn, Gillett and Owen often paying a visit to the Married custodian, whilst Connell, Smith, Meredith, and Ned Williams were more than the opposing backs could hold. There were instances of good play intermixed with hum- orous incidents, which kept the game through- out of a most interesting nature. The Married forwards were a fine set, with plenty of skill and speed, their weakest point being in front of goal. They got there easily enough, but suddenly their feet would be- come fastened down like sufferers from night- mare, and that goal diminished to the eye of a needle. To kick that ball through-no, they couldn t, and sometimes they failed to kick it at all. With the openings they made, they should have registered treble the points. But it was in the defending lines that the fun lay. They shouted, they kicked the earth, they kicked the air, they kicked one another, kicked anything but the coveted leather, and that they often left severely alone. The custodian was, however, a real brick, and saved seme splendid shots. Bravo! W J J -L. -.L. -.11 1.1 • j 1 the Married ones, not at all a bad show with all the funniosities of your play. In the ranks of the other side were found some classy players, but they failed to have anything like their own way. The dribbling and passing of the forwards was at times very neat, and both Gillett and Jim Owen directed some good shots at goal, whilst the whole of the defenders worked nobly to save their charge. If they hadn't the result of 6—3 in their favour would have read otherwise. The teams were in charge of Mr. Alun Raw son Williams, and were as follows Married Goal, W. Morris Jones backs, Alf. Hughes and William E. Jones halves, Jones, C. F. Davey, and G. Hughes iorwards, T. C. Smith, T. Meredith, Evan Ellis, E. P Davies, and Ned William^. Single Goal, J. P. Williams backs, Jones and Pullan halves, Jenkins, W7. Evans, and Hughes forwards, Gillett, Jim Owen, Owen, Laycock, and Watts.

Llanrwst County Court. SLATE QUARRY SPECULATION. At this Court, on Friday, His Honour Judge Moss delivered judgment in an action brought by Mr. Evan Edwards, Penmachno, against the Directors of Bugail Slate Quarry Company, claiming £ 50 damages for misrepresentations on sale of one share of the above value in the company. His Honour in delivering judgment said that he accepted the plaintiffs story, and from a cursory glance at the books and balance sheets of the company, it was very evident that the company had been hopelessly insolvent for many years. He, therefore, gave judgment in favour of the plantiff against all the defendants with costs, Mr. E. Davies Jones, solicitor. Llanrwst, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. A. O. Evans, solicitor, Denbigh, appeared for the defendants. 4-

Vale of Clwyd Train Service. Many and bitter are the complaints which are being made respecting the poor service of trains between Rhyl and Denbigh during the winter months, and there is a concensus of opinion that something should be done in order to bring about a better state of affairs. At night, for example, visitors to Rhyl from the Vale have to leave at 7.35 if they stay in town after that hour no train is available even for Rhuddlan or St. Asaph until twenty minutes to eleven, which sometimes may mean eleven o'clock—an atrociously late hour. The idea has been suggested of a service of motor trains be- tween the two towns of Rhyl and Denbigh. Such a service obtains with regard to Pres- tatyn, and its advent in the case of Rhudd- lan, St. Asaph, and Denbigh would be wel- comed very much. The writer earnestly presses this matter upon the attention of the London and North Western- Railway Com- pany's officials, and if the local branch of the Commercial Travellers Association de- sire to confer a real boon upon the com- munity and upon themselves, then here is an admiiable opportunity right at hand.

Horseflesh in Paris. Dealers in horse and mule meat are compelled by law to indicate their trade by means of a sign of a horse's head over the front of their places of business," says a United States Consular report from Paris. Each year 29,700,000 lb. of horse and mule meat is consumed.

The Stock Exchange and the Politicaf Crisis. MARKET CONDITIONS. The Stock Exchange as a whole of late has been dragigng out a very tame and uninter- esting existence. The public is too much taken up with politics to care to venture into the region of Throgmorton-street as con- fident speculators in at all large numbers, and the money market situation is also the reverse of helpful, since while the outlook has distinctly improved, there has not been as yet any downward movement in loan rates, and the chances are that at the settle- ment, which takes place next week the con- tango rates charged to operators for a rise will be as heavy as ever. Markets therefore have pursued a disappointing course, which if not surprising, is calculated to give rise to feelings of marked impatience among the professional element, which has time after time started different sections on the up- grade with energy and care, only to see the result of so much labour fizzle out before it got fairly into swing. Other adverse influ- ences have been at work, and not the least of these has been the advent of some of the densent autumn fogs for which London is so unpleasantly famous. On several days the serious starting of markets has been delayed by the absence from the house of leading members, fog-bound on some of the railways. The same thing has undoubtedly accentu- ated public abstention and has added to the political and labour difficulties, with which the long suffering home railway department has had to contend, by raising fears that train accidents may take place And result in losses to individual systems through indemni- ty payments, which will make a hole in satis- factory half yearly surpluses. Happily no such accidents have yet taken place, but as we arc not yet by any means through the fog period, grounds for anxiety have not been finally removed. On the whole domestic securities have been the greyest and most heavy group on the Stock Exchange. In addition to the flabbiness of home rails, Consols after their recent moderate recovery on the Government's intimation that the Budget would be passed before dissolution, have taken a fresh downward turn and look veiy gloomy and unsupported indeed. The fall has been to the accompaniment of only light offerings of stock and has been attri- buted in well informed quarters to fears that the development of the State Insurance scheme may necessitate a further trenching upon Sinking Fund payments next year. This bogie may prove to be quite unfounded, but if it is not, the future of the premier security hardly bears thinking about. Consols are such a friendless market just now, owing to the competition of other leading gilt-edged issues that the prospect of purchases by the government broker being restricted cannot be viewed with equanimity. THE MEXICAN REVOLT. The violent political disturbances in Mexico have attracted a good deal of attention in London, whose financial stake in tne Re- public is a very large one. At the same time it cannot be said that any acute anxiety has been felt with regard to the outcome of the disturbances. President Diaz enjoys a gr,¡t deal of confidence in the London financiil district, as the strong man par excellence of Mexico, and the ability, with which has put down other attempts at revolution, similar to that now being carried out, renders 'those with financial interests in Mexico ho: ful that the trouble will soon coil IT);- Presi dent Diaz' methods in the diregion f 1, ii., tics may be open to criticism from certain viewpoints, but that they have been success- ful in maintaining order throughout the country for the best part of a generation and lifted the Republic to a higher level of prosperity is considered here the highest test of their sanity as' well as of their effectiveness. It may be said very emphatically that the personal equation of President Diaz and the political stability which has grown out of it have been entirely responsible for the perennial readiness of London to finance all the bona fide financial needs, in connection with which Mexico has made application here, and the threat, sug- gested by the President's age, that his useful tenure may be approaching its termination would be regarded here with dismay, but for the fact that his political regime has been so firmly established that his successor, even though possessed of much less administrative ability, should be able to hold the turbulent elements in check and prevent any harm re- sulting to -Mexico's high financial prestige. The absence of serious uneasiness has been demonstrated in the steadiness of Mexican government bonds, which have scarcely varied. Sensitive speculative groups, like Mexican Railway stocks, have been less suc- cessful in withstanding the influence of the revolutionary news, but this has not been due to any heavy volume of real selling, but be- cause professional bears judged the opportunity too good a one to be missed. London all along would have Wked to have regarded the reports of outbreaks to Puebla, Durango and elsewhere as exaggerated and not calling for serious attention, especially as no disturbing news has come through from the various bie railway and commercial undertakings in Mexico having their head- quarters heie. One of the big tramway com- panies received a cable stating that the poli- tical situation afforded no ground for concern and other companies have received similar news. Perhaps the disturbances would have been less noticed, had it net been for the significant action of the Mexican government in commandeering the telegraph lines, and the vagueness of press reports, which have fosteoed perplexity as to facts.

Congregational Bazaar at Colwyn Bay. Despite the unfavourable weather, there was a fair attendance yesterday (Wednes- day) at the opening of the two days' sale of work held in the Lecture Hall in connection with Salem Welsh Congregational Church, Colwyn Bay. The opening ceremony was t3 gracefully performed by Mrs. Simon Wil. liams, Bryn Awel. The chair being taken hy Dr. Morris Jones. Salem chapel was built seven years ago at a cost of £3326, of which £ 1140 has been paid off, together with £ 600 in interest, a total of 61740. The present bazaar is being held for the purpose of further reducing the debt, and the ladies of the church are deserving of .special praise for their excellent and self- sacrificing labours, the stalls being distinctly creditable to all concerned. Dr. Morris Jones as usual made a most appropriate speech from the chair. Mrs. Williams, who was warmly received, said she wanted to show her practical sym- pathy with the cause, and that was why she was present that afternoon. In declaring the bazaar open she wished the undertaking every success. (Applause.) On the proposition of the Rev. W. Pen. Ilya Jones (Old Colwyn), seconded by the Rev. H. R Williams (pastor), thanks were accorded to Mrs. Williams and Dr. Morris Jones. THE STALL HOLDERS.

A PLEA FOR A MODERN RESORT, (BY THE REVIEWER.") At the present moment Rhyl and Reform- ation seem to be synouymous, and it is on that account that the writer ventures to call upon the ratepayers to—once and for all- take advantage of the opportunity to set their house in order. It is a healthy sign at present. A series of special articles is being written dealing with the question of town improvements, and, the Chairman of the Rhyl Council, in his usual enterprising and courageous man- ner, has suggested the calling of a public meeting to go into the same question. In his opinion practically nothing is being done in that direction." ei But one improvement must be inaugurated it the town is to claim any pretence at being a modern, up-to-date seaside resort. It must have a tiamway service, and anal it does have one Rhyl will be what It un. doubtedly now is, a scattered collection cf residences difficult to get at and giving one the impression of a town which is in the process of being built, but which is far {yr)m being complete. Let one, for example, think of the interminable Wellington-road. Will anyone for a moment contend mat the advent of the trams there would not be of enormous benefit to it? Would it not make it easier of access, and would it not tend to develop it more and more from the resident- ial point of view? As it stands to-day, it is a street of appalling length, the 10n" L.ne which knows no turning, and only th, ad- vent of a tramway system will make if any- thing other than what it is No town in the whole of Wales is better :\(l"l,tf'J for a tramway than Rhyl with its long and wide streets. In the case of Llandudno and L- Colwyn nay, considerable opposition was offered to the scheme at the outset, but by to-day the only regret upon the part of those two towns is the fact that any opposi- tion was offered at all, so that the trams could have been there years before. For in the case of both resorts the tramway service has conferred incalculable benefits upon them. It has opened them out to each other, with the natural result that there has been an interchange of commodities and social amenities between the sister resorts. But Rhyl not only lags behind, but it has even rejected the scheme, although it is stated that the Tramway Company would be prepared to approach the townspeople again if they s.aw any likelihood of reason prevail- ing. It is said that one of the reasons why the overtures of the Company were rejected a little time ago was the fear that the tram- way would interfere with the golfing facili- ties at Rhyl—a thought too terrible for wouls, seeing that even the desire to train the nation for war ha.s in certain instances been held to be less important than that of securing the sacred golf course intact for snobbery to disport itself upon it. At the same time, now is the time for the Rhyl people to decide for themselves the all important question as to whether the town is going to maintain its position as a first class seaside and health resort, or whether it is content to fall behind in the resort race which is now going., on. If it is to do this one of its chief thoughts should be of a tramway system worthy of the town itself. Here, therefore, is a subject which can be discussed at the forthcoming public meeting, if such a meeting is to be held. In addition to the above the writer would also suggest that the time has come when a paid secretary should be employed in con- nection with the Rhyl Advertising Associa- tion, seeing that it is useless to expect that the same gentleman should give his services to the Association year after year free, gratis and for nothing.

Rhyl Free Library. For some time past it has been patent to all those who are in the habit of making use of the Rhyl Free Library that the pre- sent newspaper reading room is much too small, owing to the fact that during the winter months it is overcrowded with per- sons who go there for anything rather than to read. Only the other evening, when a casual visit was paid to the room in ques- tion, the atmosphere was so stifling as to be entirely unbearable. This is all the more annoying, seeing that the larger room is hardly ever visited, whilst the smaller one is crowded to excess, a most undesirable state of things. It is almost impossible to guess the ideas which actuated the minds of the Councillors when they constructed the building in question, seeing that both the reference and the Reading Rooms are in- c Lpable nt being supervised by the Librar- ian. In the case of the Reference Room, for example, the entrance to it is made from the vestibule outside, and the Librarian consequently is unable to see who is coming in or who is going out. The result is that the room has fallen largely into disuse, and the same remark regarding the question of supervision applies to the Reading room. What this means can be better understood when it is stated that only this very week some evil-minded person mutilated—for his own advantage—several of the newspapers, .and he was enabled to do this because the Librarian from his room could not see into the. other. That the Council by now have come to see the mistake they have made in the construction of the Library is proved by the fact that they discussed soon after it was erected the question of applying to Mr. Carnegie for a grant in order to carry out certain so-called alterations." As a matter of fact, there should not have been any partitions at all. The whole Library should have been one room which one man could have supervised from one vantage point. Seeing that such a mistake has been made, however, it would be well it the Council took into their earliest possi- ble consideration the question of turning the Reference room into a newspaper room, seeing that the conditions under which the newspapers are being read at present are distinctly unhealthy owing to the over- crowding of the room. In order that the Reference room might be made easy to supervise some expense would have to be incurred, but this would be far better than to see it, as any one can see it to-day, practically useless. Had the members of the. Council visited, for examnle. the Picton Reading Room in Liverpool, that beautiful building might have afforded them an idea of what a perfect Realing Room and Library is and should be. The r esult as regards Rh.vl would have been of a far happier nature
