ROLLER RINK. HIPPODROMEi. Tfhe winter season commenced on Wed- nesday afternoon last, and was attended by a representative gatheringlof not only Llandudno skaters, but from the outlying districts. In the evening the skaters numbered upwards of a hundred, and the floor being in excellent condition a most enjoyable evening was spent. The military band was quite a success, the up-to-date Walzes, Barn Dances and Two-Steps were a distinct improvement. Mr Adams, the deservedly popular resident manager, had since the closing down last Saturday worked wonders, in arranging for the comfort of the Hippo- drome Company's clientele. In addition to re,-surfacing: the floor, the electric in- stallation has been overhauled,, an army of cleaners set to work, and every nook and corner of the building' hais been thorough- ly cleansed and renovated. Quite a number of contractors have already possessed themselves of their con- tracts, and inquiries are daily being made from all parts of the locality by intending purchasers. We, have previously inti- mated in these columns what a contract ticket entitles the holder to, but for those who are unacquainted we will repeat the information. A guinea contract ticket entitles the holder to admission and skates for two ses- sions every Wednesday, three sessions on Saturday, up to and including the 1st day of April, and two sessions daily for a, fort- night at Christmastide. Prices for single admission are as formerly, ladies one shil- ling, including skates; gentlemen, one shilling and sixpence. « It jig, important that all skaters should note the alteration in the hour of opening at the evening session, 7 o'clock instead of 7 30 as formerly, and closing; at 10, in- stead of 10 30. This new arrangement will enable contractors from Golwyn Bay, Bangoil, Deganwy and Conway to catch the earlier trams and trains, and also be a much more suitable and popular hour amongst the resident skaters and specta- tors generally. We note that a Llandudnoite, Mr "Ned" Jones, who learnt his skating at the Llandudno Rink, is again in charge of the floor of the Rotunda Skating, Rink, Dub! in. He is spoken of as one of the most expert professional skaters in Ire- land, and highly popular with the rinkers of Dublin owing to his unfailing courtesy.

———————————— THE CRAIGYDON SOCIAL AND LITERARY CLUB.-The Craigydon Social and Literary Club (reformed Mutual Improvement Association) opened the present session on Monday at their new quarters, Victoria Street, with a very successful social evening.

COLONEL HOWARD AND THE TERRITORIALS, IF THE GERMANS ENTER ENG- LAND. Speaking at Holywell on Tuesday night-, Colonel Howard, Unionist canddate for the Flint Boroughs, said that the other day he was speaking to a man on HaJkin Mountain, who said to him, "I don care if the Germans do coiiie-they will pay as good wages as anyone else." He told the man that he (the Colonel) was old enough to remember being in Paris and seeing the Prussians there just after the siege was raised. The Prussians did not pay any wages what they did was to take what they thought would be "a smasher" for France they took 200 mil- lions of gold, and it was only by the thrift of the small holders of France that that money was found to get the Germans out of the country. If the Germans got into this country they would not be satisfied with 200 millions, but they would want 600 millions in gold before they would leave the country. Was the Territorial Army in a satisfactory condition ? At the present time it was short of 60,000 men. As chairman of the Flintshire Territorial Forces Association he might tell them that in the Flintshire Battalion they had 770 men out of 1,000 required and they had got 14 officers out of 28 wanted. He did not call that satisfactory. He appeal- ed to the young men of the district to come forward and join the old regiment, It would be far better for them than loaf- ing about and smoking cigarettes, and they would live longer and be happier and healthier. If they could not get the men required for the Territorial Force, there would be nothing for it but universal ser- vice

WELSH RECTOR IN A MOTOR ACCIDENT. Judge Moss on Wednesday sent to the Registrar of the Rhyl County Cburt his decision in a motor car case which had occupied his attention at two sittings of the Rhyl County Court. The plaintiff is the Rev. T. Jenkns, rector of St. George. Abergele, and the defendant Mr Edward Woodhead, of Ashover, Chesterfield. The plaintiff claimed £ 28 for damages to his motor-car, while the defendant counter- claimed for damage to his car. In his written judgment His Honour held that the evidence as to the damage was eonciusf-ve, and the defendant's driver must have been entirely mistaken as to what took place. He considered that the collision was entirely due to the defendant's driver neglecting the warning of the danger s'kigal close by. He could not allow a portion of the plaintiff's claim for depreciation, but he found for him for E:22 19s. 6cl. and costs. He also gave judgment for the plaintiff on the -it ff counter-claim, but the plaintiff would have to pay the costs of producing the man who repaired his car.

ABOUT FURS AND FUR. TRIMMINGS It is curious to note with what regu- larity otter and fox furs recur, and this winter finds both in much demand. Racoon too, is one of the latest furs to be pressed into our service. It has been brought to a, remarkable pitch of per- fection by dying and dressing', and is now both a becoming and satisfactory pelt, and one to be highly recommended to those who cannot attain to more expensive sorts. London certainly lags behind Paris in the matter of trimming with fur, coats, and costumes, evening U and reception gowns, and every variety of over-dress. A flimsy gown finished with a band of fur seem out of place, yet if properly built, it. has a dis- tinction quite its own. The soft yet weighty g.arniture of fur proves that the latter may be charmingly combined with net! Fur used with white, moire silk has a most handsome effect, if the former be grey or dark in colour, but ermine is not a suc- cessful combination. Sealskin is being trunmed with black satin, and bands of this materipil are placed at the hem of coats, and revers and Guffs of it adorn fronts and sleeves. The effect is dignified, if severe, and although it may appear in- congruous, to use the two together, this mode has undoubtely come to stay.
