CRICKET NOTES. THE RAILWAY CUP FINAL. The ground of the Llanjdudno Club was again the venue selected for the final of the, Harrison Cricket Cup-?, competition confined to players engaged on 'Jhe London and North Western Railway. The contestants this year were London and Wolveirton, and the- match was played on Saturday. The Londoners won the oup last year from Earlstown and had but little difficulty in retaining the trophy. Batting first on a good wicket, Wolveirton only com 5)iled 63, which the Londoners obtained for the oas of five wickets, and then increased their score to 111. The cup and medals were pre- sented to the winning team and medals to the .-runners-up by Mrs Neela. HARD LINES AT MOSTYN. The match at Mostyn between Llandudno w' and Mostyn Park showed the visitors at the top of their form. G. C. Tripp. C. N. Jones. R. J. B-rownfield G. F. Fajrington, and R. P. Hum- phries all got into double figures. The stand lor the first wicket between Tripp and Jones was a great -one, the first-named as usual scor- ing at a great pace and .getting forty-one before being caught off Watson. C. N. Jones played quieter but very attractive cricket, and topped the half century. He founid the boundary on six occasions. The late. captain now that he has been able to turn out has s,hewnhat his batting has in no wise suffered, and he may be expected to make a few more good scores be- fore the curtain is rung down in September. C. F. Farringtoii again proveld his value to the team by soaring 20. C. Farrington has this year been the most consistent batsman in the club. His scores up-to-date are 23, 27. 3. 4. 33, 13, 7, 42, 3. 34, 46, 35. 12, 3. 20. This gives him an average for fifteen innings of a fraction over 20. As yet noi "duck" stands to his name, a statement which everyone hoped can be re- peated at the end of the season. The score when the third wicket fell stood at 131, and the remaining batsmen went in for bitting at almost anything, s.o that- the wickets fell rapidly, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tentih not adding a single run. Hobson who was number nine in the order of batting was not out at the finish, not having received a single ball. As a matteir of'fact Sabin took the last three wickets, those of IHowell Jones. Turner and Hartley in one over. The full total was. however. 154. so that the visitors ware in an almost impregnable' position. For Mostyn. C. F. Malboii. C .S. Sabin, A. C. Roberts and Watson offered stubborn resist- ance, the tirst-iianiad batting most attractively. For once in a way El. Bevington was cheaply dismissed. The feature of the match, however, was the bowling of Hartley, who sent down nineteen overs for forty-two runs and. the eight wickets that fell. The remarkable thing about the performance was that all his victims were bowled. It. was certainly hard lines that time robbed 'him of the chance of taking the whole ten wickets and the -club of a well-earned victory. Play was prolonged until seven o'clock, but the game could ndt be brought to a den rd be conclusion. Full score:— LLANDUDNO v. MOSTYN LLANDUDNO. G. C. Tripp c H Sutcliffe b Watson 41 j C. N.

Jones has been cardered by his moclic-aladviser to abstain from cricket for the next three weeks, owing to having strained a muscle of the heart. During his absence the j team will be captained by C. F. Farrington, the vice-captain. The unanimous) wish is that the three weeks rest will bring about the complete three weeks rest will bring about- the complete recovery of "Jhe reverend skipper.

THE JOHN BRIGHT COUNTY SCHOOL. Tihe summer term which has just ended has been a very busy one and rather a long one, '8IS school terms go. The concluding event has been the examination of the Central Welsh Board,; an examination which is now generally recognised as of equal value with the Cam- bridge and Oxford Locals. The Senior Certifi- cate carries with it. exemption, from the pre- liminary examinations held by professional bodies, tsuch as the Medical and Dental Asso- ciation, Law Society, Chartered Accountants, etc., and parents who have any thought of entering their children on such a career can- nut be too strongly urge-cil to allow them to re- main at. sohool until they have gained these certificates. In the opposite direction it may be pointed out that as the school course is calculated to carry a diligent pupil througih the Senior Ex- amination in 4 or 5 ye airs, early entry at the sohool e generally means early success. Chil- dren of the proper standard of attainment are welcomed at 10 years of age, while parents should not delay to send them when they have reached 11 years. A number of applications for admission have already been received, and in- tending applicants are strongly advised to ba early to avoild possible disappointment. Mrs Allanson Picton has very kindly sent a framed enlargement of a photograph of her husband, for so many yeams .chairman of the Governors. 'The school is very proud of its association with no eminent a man, and his portrait will starve to point an ideal to the ris- ing generation. As a result of the lectures held during the year three additional pictures have been, bought, namely. Harold Speed's "Portrait of King Edward VII. B. W. Leader's "Lledr Valley," .and Millars' "Cihildhoold of Sir Walter Raleigh." It is intended, to continue the lecture;, during next season. Mr L. J. Roberts, H.M.I., has very kindly promised a prize for an etssay on some his- torical subject, preferably of local interest. This is an example that friends of the school are cordially invited to follow. The school is provided with what is absolutely necessary to make it an institution of great value to the town, but there are very many ways in which gifts could be of great service. A heavy burden c'f debt rests upon the school and hampers its activities, preventing the addi- tion of apparatus which would greatly assist the teaching. A geographical department, and a physical "department still await furnishing, while the library, though good for its size, would be much improved by the addition of books of reference. The headmaster, Mr J. M, Archer Thomson, would! very gladly assist any intending- donors, with advice. In cricket the season has been rather un- fortunate., practice having been a good deal interfered with. Out- of the 5 mat chefs played two against Rydal. Mount were lctsh while the other 3againt Li.anrwst and Dinglewood schools were unfinished. J. Graham wins the bat with an average of 10 per innings, while W. Fisher heads the. bowling list. his wickets hav- ing cost 5 runs apiece, The staff were recently entertained at tea by members of the cookery class, and will be glad to testify to .the excellence of t(he pupils both as cooks and waitresses. Next term com- mences on Monday, September 19th.

A HEALTHY TOWN.—At the monthly meet- ing of the Council on Friday it was reported that the birth rate for June was at the rate of 15.5 per 1,000 per annum and the death rate 6.2.—Mr J. J Marks further reported that for the half-year the death rate was, notwithstanding one bad month, at the exceedingly low rate of 9 per 1,000 per annum. MORE GAS WANTED ON SUNDAYS.—The amount of extra cooking necessary on Sundays is illustrated by the following instruction given to the gas manager by Llandudno Council:- "To increase the gas pressure by half-an-inch between the hours of eleven and one on Sun- days till the end of September." No objection to this was taken by any of the members of. the extreme Sabbatarian party, who later objected to the Motor Company sending an advertising coach round the town. r.I/A.YRHOS POST OFFICE.—The Post Office Authorities have notified the Llandudno Coun- cil that the hours of business, at LJanrhos Sub- Post Office will be reduced as below:—Week- days, 8 30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays, 8 30 to 10 a.m. Bank holidays. 8 30 to 12 noon. Wednes- days 8 30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The letter boxes will be .-cleared at the old times.

SEA ANGLING NOTES. LLANDUDNO SEA ANGLERS' ASSOCIATION. President: Right Hon. Lord Mostyn. Hon. Secretary: -Air Howel Jones, 32. Mostyn Street. Hon. Treasurer: Mr R. Dunphy. Mostyn Street A correspondent wrote me as follows the iother day: -"I am pleased to -read such good reports weekly. I will not tell you what dis- count I t,ake off the fishing returns or you might be upse.t. I hope to have some spoirt when I arrive." Unfortunately this gentleman will be here just at. the Ilieiglit of the season, when the steamer traffic is very heavy and when the Pier HeaCl is crowded with anglers of all sorts and sizes using tackle of all de- scriptions and leads sufficient to scare away almost, .any fish that happens to be near. There- fore sport may be poor, and my reputation for veracity must naturally suffer." Let me assure him, however, that up to the present the .catches made at the Pier Head have certainly been in advanCle of those made up to this time last year, and sport so far as this spot is con- cerned can be termed to have, been verv fair. Plenty of good-sized bass, have been seen chasing the whitebait close to. the rocks near the second entrance to ilhe Pier. No doubt with the fly, spoonbait or imitation sand-eel good spoirt could be had. ordinary mussel bait being too unattractive to them when the -white- bait aire about. The mackerel were also giving the whitebait a lively time. The. bass (Labrax Lupus) is a splendid sport- ing fislh. Its back is a, dark blue, and the sides and belly silvery, and they vasry in weight from a few ounces to 151b. or more in weight, the average size being between 2 and 41b. For a. full description of this fish and also the tackle, with which ,to oarjch him one should read. "Angling in Salt water." bv John Biekerdyke. An open competition was held on the. Pier Head last week under the captaincy of Mr E. R. Cooper. The water was in good condition ,and weather favourable, tide in flood, but the presence -of whitebait no dioubt militated against a good catch being made. Nine com- petitots took part and the winners were;- 1 Mr E. R. Cooper, flats, Itlb. 2 Mr Temple, off Northampton, flat and pol- lack, llozs. These frequent Pier Head and Boat Compe- titions, arranged by Messrs, Cooper and Read- ing respectively, aire proving a great success, and the Hon. Secretary informs me that they have been the direct 'means of several addi- tions being madei to tihe membership of our Society, which is growing a strong one. All patriieulars as regards tihe Association wid ( willingly given by our lioii. secretarv, Mr Howell Jones. Whilst this competition wa.s in progress a fine mackerel weighing .one lb. was. taken by Mr E. P. B-iicomb, of London. Mr Balcomb was bottom fishing too, and it is a somewhat unique experience to take a mackerel of this size in this manner, tihe usual method of catching them being with the trolling bait or fly. Another true stoiry illustrating the danger of leaving tackle' unguarded. A fresh-water fisher- man was spending his holidays at a farm house and; had been tlrying his luck one morning in a river which, ran close to the house. On his return, to lunch, a,s he intended to fish the riveir again in the afternoon he rested his rod against a wall in such a position that the line with gut and hook dangled on the. other side, the hook being baitd with a fine worm. Now this wall happened to fonm one of tihe: boundaries of an enclosure in which pigs were kept. and of course the inevitable happened. When the angler returned for his rod he found that the line had been bitten through and that the gut and hook were missing. The angler's holiday terminated that evening, and two days follow- ing he receiveid a postcard from his late host stating among other matters: "You will be storry to learn that a few hours ago one of our finest pigs died, and we cannot imagine. what has been the trouble with him. He seemed so healthy." But the post-mortem explained all. I myself once, had' the misfortune to leave hooks baited with herring on the ground, for a moment on1 two. at Aberystwyth, when the Pier- master's clog came along and sampled the fish. The dog got tihe hook firmly embedded at the base of the tongue and had to be taken to the veterinary .surgeon before it could be extracted. As I am exceedingly fond of animals this ex- perience taught me a lesson I shall not readily forget. viz: Never to. leave hooks unguarded in a public place. I must add in justice to the Piermaster that he was very good about the affair, and would not even let me pay the Vet's fee. The National Federation of sea anglers (to which his Society is affiliated) is growing "wsibh." There1- are now 20 Societies affiliated to it, and applications from a few more Societies anxio,us to join are under the consideration .of the Standing Committee. Approximately the number of sea anglers thus bound together is 3,000, so that the Federation can claim to represent a very great proportion of the anglers- in this country. The second handbook to which I have made previous re- ference in the "Advertiser" has been issued this week, and copies may be had on receipt of seven penny stamps from the honosrary secretary, Mr H. Dowsett, Yoirk Buildings. Hastings.

GREAT ORME GOLF CLUB. The Orme Club in oalder to furtheir the in- terest of their members, have been holding com- petitions during the last few weeks under match play and playing off the various rounds in the evenings. The Gents Foursome had an entry of about 16 or 18 couples, and the semi-finalists were Me risers. Baigg and Cooper, defeated by M'essfrs. Short and Williams, 6 up an(d 5 to play. Messrs. H. Ricketts and G. B. Roberts defeated, by Messrs A. J. Davis and Roily Roberts, 6 up and 4 to play. The final was played on .Saturday afternoon last, and after a very close match Messrs Davis and Roberts defeated Messrs. Short and Williams on the last gtreen. arucl became possessors of the two cups given by the Club. The other competition was t'he first of its kind held by the Orme Club, and took the form of a mixed Foursome under the same condi- tions as the gents. 'Some very exciting games took place during the .rounds, but it was left to The final to produce one of the most exciting finishes to a competition it was possible to have. In the semi-finals Miss N. Dunphy and H. Parker beat Mrs Ha worth and H. Short ,on the last .green after playing 36 holes. Mrs H. Parker and :H. Berry defeated Miss G. Haworth and Hugh Williams, ly atlier ,easily by 6 up and 5 to play. The, final was played on Saturday afternoon, and -ended all square on the 18th green. The C.ommi'tee decided that the players should1 go. o-ii to' the nineteenth hole,, and this they did befoirea large gathering of members, and Miss N. Dunphy and H. Parker winning the hole, became the winners of the two cups given by tihe Club. The finish was intensely exciting both to the players and spectators, especially when Miss Dunphy holed a 3 yards putt for the hole, The Committee have no doubt done well in pro- viding these com petitions for the ladies, and it is, to be hoped that this is only the fore- runner to many more.

THE NEW FREE LIBRARY. LORD MOSTYN TO PERFORM OPENING CEREMONY. GIFTS TO THE LIBRARY. The reading room of the new free library has for the past month been open to the public, but before the lending library can be used a screen and counter will have to be fixed. In order to complete the furnishing the Chairman of the Council (Mr E. E. Bone) has issued a circular appealing for subscriptions. The question came before the members of the Council on Friday night, when Mr Bone said that Lord and Lady Mostyn would perform the opening ceremony either on August, 21st or a date in September after the National Eistedd- fod. The announcement was greeted with loud applauooi, and Septembeir fixed upon as the most suitable time. The date will probably be Monday, September 19th. A discussion occurred as to the ord-er pro- posed to be given for a screen and counter for the lending department of the library at a cost of £ 90. It was contended by Mr S. Chantrey that as there were- no fundls for the payment of the bill it was most unbusinesslike to get the work done. Probably they would be sur- charged by the auditor when they paid the bill. FINANCIAL STATEMENT WANTED Mr Pierrce Jones, and other speakers called for a statement of the financial position of the library undertaking, and Mr James Marks stated that he had all along protested against having had to pay £1,000 for the freehold of the site for which tihey had had. only £600 in hand. The Chairman pointed out that the chairman of the Committee (Mr Robert Roberts) had issued an appeal for subscriptions towards the payment of the diebt upon too undertaking, some £600 altogether, including the cost of the work now proposed to be done. It was hoped that the amount would be rairied through the medium of a bazaar if not by contributions of individual subscribers, and if it were not it could be met ou, of the proceeds of the penny rate, though that would rather cripple the Committee. The amendment tol defer the ordering of the screen and counter was defeated by seven votes to five. The Chairman of the Library Committee (Mr Robt. Roberts) undertook that a financial state- ment would be prepared forthwith and pre- sented at the next meeting of the Council or at a meeting of the Council in committee if -one was held at an eariier date. GIFTS TO THE LIBRARY. The Committee reported that Mr Robert Roberts had presented a, framed engraving o,f his late Majesty King Edward VII. and Mr F. J. Sarson had offered to present a clock for the interior of the library. On behalf of Mr Percy Robert Fairrant (grandson of the late Mr W. H. Reece) Mr Robert Roberts presented for the museum one of the medals struck to commemorate the re- storation of the Church -of St. Tudnü in 1855. The restoration was carried through at the sole expense of Mr Reece as a thank offering for the restoration of his daughter to health after coming to Llandudno to reside. It was resolved that the thanks of the Coun- cil be tendered to all the donors for their gifts.

THE COUNCIL AND THE MOTOR COMPANY. ADVERTISING COACHES MUST NOT RUN ON SUNDAYS. At the monthly meeting of Llandudno Coun- cil on Uriidiay, Mr Pierce Jones at question time asked if it was the intention of the mem- bers when sanctioning the running of an adver- tising motor coach that it should run on seven days a week. He also objected to the blowing of the horn. Mr F. J. Sarson, chairman of the Bye-Laws Committee read the following (resolution of the Council: "That the Llandudno Motor and Garage Com- pany, Ltd., be granted permission this season to send, round the town, each morning before 10 o'clock, one non-stop car,, bearing advertise- i mentis of the Company's tours\ for the day." The Sabbath, he pointed out, was not men- tioned. The Deputy Clerk said he had mentioned the matter to the managetr of tJhe Motor Company and had received the following reply:— "Regarding your remarks re running the ad- vertising coach on Sunday mornings I am quite willing to discontinue this if it hurts the feel- ings of the townspeople. Of course I would like to point -out to you that our competitors run their .coaches round the town on Sundays with lettering on them shewing where they are going [ to, and I think we ought to have the same facilities. I tirust your Council will bear this in mind when debating the subject. As re- gards your complaint of blowing on a four note musical horn, when going through the town, I may say that this horn waa bought with the in- tention of drawing visitors' attention to our coaches and not to create a nuisance. As you are aware our compeitors have a coiach horn on which they lustily draw musical notes, and as my men axe not experienced on this instrument I had to fall back on the mechanical type. "Trusting this explanation will prove" to the Council that my Company are heire to do a perfectly legitimate business, and, also to up- hold the traditions of the town. Yours faithfully. G. W. BROWNE." It was decided that the Company be askad to run on six days only. Mr Sarson: Are you going to ask the Coach- ing Company and Messrs. Jarvis and Woodyatt to do the same. In reply to this a member said, "They don't blow their horns."

GAS WORKS COAL SUPPLY.—At the month- ly meeting of the Council on Monday, Mr E. E. Bone in the chair, it was resolved that the tender of Messrs. J. Rigby and Co., Chester, for the supply of coial to the gas woirks until June 30th, 1911. be accepted. The price per ton will be 14s. 3d. SAND MODELLING COMPETITIONS.—A series of sand modelling .competitions will take place during August on the beach. In addi- tion to the annual contest arranged by the T.I.A., Messrs. Newnes, Ltd., and the Amal- gamated Press, Ltd., will hold competitions. The Llandudno Council has undertaken to rope in the necessary space far all the competitions.

FOOTPATH PRESERVATION. LORD MOSTYN TO BE ASKED TO OPEN PATHS. At the monthly meeting of Llandudno Coun- cil on Friday, the members discussed the opening .of new foot-paths for the convenience and pleasure of visitors. During the month a sub-committee had met' and recommended the Council to claim a path leading from the Marine Drive to the Smug- gler's Cave as a. public one" 'Woo to place. a gate if there was an opening in the wall. The Council was also, recommended to claim as public paths one on the north west side of Gogarath leading round the Ûirme, and another leading from Maesdu Road to Llanrhos. Witih regard to the path leading from the soutihi side of Nantygamar Road running east- wards toward Penyffotrdd, the members were to leave as ait present, as the public had free access to the su-rroiunding mountain land, the same to apply to a/notther footpath further south leading to entrance gate of Gloddaeth Woods. The recommendations were adopted, but a discussion .arose with regard to footpaths lead- ing to Ty Ucha Farm and thence northwards. The committee advised the Council to request Lord Mostyn to 'open the footpaths on suffer- ance. Mr Robert Roberts proposed that the words "iOn sufferance" be, deleted from the recom- mendation. Mr Me Master was of opinion that the Council should claim the paths Ihonestly and openly and insist on having them. Mr Marks seconded the resolution, which waa camie,dl. Mir W. O. Williams proposed that the Coun- cil approach Lord Mostyn with a view to his footpaths on sufferance in different parts of the district. He thought that if footpaths were opened leading over the hills in the direction of Tywyn it would be a good thing now that walking on the roads was rendered, unpleasant by the dust ariising out of the motor traffic. Mr Robart Roberts said, he would second the recommendation if the proposer would amend! the resolution so that the Mostyn Estate be asked to- dedicate the paths to, 1fu.e¡ public for ever. Mr W. O. Williams said he could not agree to that, for it would be a. very unreasonable thing to ask. Mr A. E. Vollam then seconded, the resolu- tion, whioh was carried unanimously.

THE TOWN BAND. REARRANGEMENT OF PROMENADE STATIONS. During the past month the members of the Llandudno Bye-Laws Conimittee have had under -consideration the sites on the Pro- menade where the torwn band 'shall play in the evenings. The final recommendations were that the stations should ,he., ais follows:-Mon- days and Tuesdays;, opposite Glanym-or Ter- race; Wednesdays at Gloddaeth Crescent; Thursdays, Mostyn Crescent; Fridays, Nevill Crescent, and Saturdays, Penrihyn Oresent. Mar W. 0. Williams proIXJIsed that Glanymor Terraca be cleleted, from the arrangement on the garound that .as the Promenade- was much narrower at that end great inconvenience was caused to pedestrians. Mr Hugh Edwards said he would, second the amendment if the proposer would agiree- to deleting one night a week. Mr Robert Roberts supported the recom- mendation of the committee, stating it would not be fair toi householders to deprive them of the band, a suggestion which evoked consider- able laughter. Mr David Davies was of opinioii that Craigy- don ought to have more of the band.— (Laughter.) Mr Pierce Jones: We don't want it.—(More laughter.) Mr Sarcon said Oraigydon- could not support the band owing to the absence of amusements in that. part of the town. The. band had already been deprived of oine very lucrative position because the. music at the pier pavilion was inter- fered with, and he was afraid that if any. more positions were knocked off the Council would have to face tihe loss of the band altogether. M,r Robt. Roberts pointed out that aa soon as the Council had' decided -on a permanent band- stand the difficulty would be, overcome. Mr IVLoMaster said he wished tin draw the at- tention of members of the Bye-Laws Committee tio la part of Llandudno, which was. as popular with visitors as any other part of the town. The committee, however, had not apparently considered its claian. Sometimes visitors there were enlivened by the strains of a hurdy-gurdy, and now and then by the niggers, but never by the town band.' He referred to the West Shore. Mr Chantrey asked if the band now consisted of the full number -of petrformea-s. He thought it ought, .according to Ihe agreement, to be augmented for the summer months. He con- sidered the band a disgrace to the town. Mr Hugh Edwards: There are five playing and, seven collecting, I tfhink.—{Laughteir.) Mr W. 0. Williams agreed tihat his resolution should apply to o'ne day a week only, and it was therefore carried on the understanding that the band, played at Craigydon on the Tue-sday. Mr J.. J. Marks drew ,attenti,en to t.hj simul- taneous playing of the. band anid minstrels in different places in the town, and suggested that the Bye-Laws Committee should endeavour to make sudh arrai-igements as would prevent such "idisicordant braying" in future. This was agreed to. Printed and Published by the Proprietors, Frank Edge and Alec G. Moy, at the "Advertiser" Printing Works, Market Street, Llandudno..
