Cawr, and the important battles fought between Rhuddl&n and Tanrogo. Mr Ellis was heartily thanked for his address, and a. wish was expressed for a further contribution of a like nature. ABERGELE NOTES. It is to be regretted that the evening classes, held at the. County School, are eo poorly at- tended. There is a great danger that if more pupils do cot come forward the classes will cease at Christmas. What a pity it is that such an ppportunity of acquiring knowledge, and fitting oneself more fully to fight the battle of life is so little appreciated. » • • In my report of the Homing Society meeting, held at the Railway Hotel, Penearn, I omitted to state that Mr C. P. Jones was presented with r'c' the challenge cup. This is the third cup Mr Jones has won outright with his bi.rds.

On Fri- day Prfid Saturday, Mr Howard Cochran's Com- fany appearad at the Public Hall in "Tha Marria-ge of Kitty." Good attendances weia roeordeJ on each occasion, and the piece was thoroughly enjoyed. The celebrated Londcin actress, Miss Margaret Damer, was highly suc- cessful in the part of Kitty. A FAMILY'S NARROW ESCAPE. During the early hours of Monday morning a fire occurred at thj premises of Mr Hugh Hughs, Central Storos, causing" a considerable amount of damage. Tha outbreak took place in a store room where there were severa' cheots of tea and a large stack of paper bags. Mr and Mrs Harry Evams, who reside in the premises above the shop, were the first to discover the outbreak. Mr Evans had been down about 12 o'clock, but had seen nothing wrong then. At about 2.30, however, he was roused by his wu~, who thought* he had left the cand'e burning downstairs. On striking a match ho found the room quickly fiiliing with dense smoke and the extinguished candle by bhe bedside. He at on-ce went out into the passage; and on his way downstairs he encountered cl<?uds of thick smoke. He then proceeded to the fire station, which was situated close by, and gave the alarm. The first to arrive were the police, who were on night duty, and they were fcilowod shortly afterwards by members of the brigade. In the meantime Mrs Evans and the two little children had been removed from the premises, this happening name too soon, as the smoke was so dense in iheir bedroom that in a short time they must, undoubtedly, have been suft'ocatod. The brigade at once got to work, and the out- break was soon mastered. On an inspection it WaA found that the store room had .iunere.i much damage, the door tha.t led on to Mr Evans' premises being oompletely burned. rihi" dama.go to the house was also consideiablo In the etores several chests of tea and a large quantity of packing paper were destroyed. Among iha debris was fouind the body of a cat, whioh had been suffocated. But lor the pro videntia' rousing of Mrs Evans the result n ust have beon a tragic one, for the family were in dire distress from the smoke before they escaped from their sleeping apartments. LOCAL RESIDENTS MYSTIFIED. While Mr G-ea, of the Central Hotel, was enjoying his usual morning walk on the Promenade laart Friday his attention was called by a passing cyclist to the dead body of something," which had quite mystified him as it lay on the Promenade. Alter a minute inspection of the thing Mr Gee had also to confess his inability to give it a name. Two labourers appeared on the soene, and they also failed to furnish a clue as to identification. It measured about four feet long. and weighed between 40 and 50 pounds. After a serious consultation the workmen eventually decided to give tl:e thing" a decent burial, and tney forthwith set to work. They opened a "^rave" in the sand on the shore, and, with dua solemnity, interred the body there- in. Hie animal's tail caused some trouble, because it persisted in forcing its way through the sand, and it was only after muoh extra digging that they felt they had completed their task satisfactorily. Froan the particulars supplied by Mr Gev it now appears that the body was that of an angler, or sea-devil as it is more commonly known, which had probably been washed ashore during the storm. The angler, also known from its habits and appearance as the fishing-frog, is a remarkable fish found round our coasts, in tike Mediterranean and elsewhere. It is sometimes five or six feet in length. The head is broad, rounded, and disproportion- ately large and the mouth is exoassively wide (whence the Scotoh name of "wide-gab"), and is furnished with a formidable array of long, strong, pointed teeth, thoas of tho tom-ef jaw being directed obliquely inwards, the lower jaw projects and is capable of great protrusion. On the head are long, separate, movable tendrils, one of Which in particular serves to attract small fishes. The skin is soft, without scales. The pec- toral fins are fleshy and supported on a bony framework, the ventral also being fitted with joints resting on a firm series of bones, so that the animal ca.n move wliile laying on the ground. The angler early attracted the attention of observers, and Elian's ac- count of its habits shows that he was iu- timately acquainted with it. "The fishing froer. he tells us, "derives its name fr.om the manner in Which it employs itself. In front of its eyes there are placed some long prooeeses, to the end of which are fixed n- ticing baits for the purpose of enabling it to ensnare little fishes. This toad-fish is aware of tha use it may make of these or- gans to obtain food, and, for concealment, hides itself in some muddy place, where it ke«r>s its body unmoved while it lifts up and stretches out its line and bait. Little fishm that are wandering about are soon at- tracted and blgin to nibble, which, the angler is quick to noroei ve; and then it lo- gins to move its line in a cautious manner, so as to lead the prey without alarming them into the gulf of its jaws, which close upon them bevond tho power of escape." But the angler cannot always obtain a sufficiency of food in this manjier, and then it will rise and seize anything almost that comes in its way. One va.q known to swal- low a cork-buoy: another eot choked in t- '-tempting: to swallow a and a third !ms been soon to have seized a su-inilyi-in--t-yird, the "Northern Diver." Seventy-two her- .rin(TI;( were taken from the stomach of ne, and twenty-one flounders and a dory from that of another. The anger belongs to the family lophaadoe of the acanthopterous fishes

Colwyn Bay-Llandudno Light Railway. WHY THE PROJECT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED. RATES RELIEVED: MOTOR CAR TRAFFIC QUESTION SOLVED. A correspondent writes:—As ono who lias had a. wide experience of Light Railway schemes, and who has also the welfare of Col- wyn Bay at heart, may I bo allowed to point out one or "no reasons why the scheme now promotod oy (he Lio-hli Railway Company is entitled to favourable consideration, espe- cially the part relating to tho Colwyn Bay ex- tension. In the first place, it should bo realised that, rather than c.iglocato and injuriously affect the traffic cm tho Abergele and Conway roads, the Mheut of t arn-oa.rs, would regulate and im- prove it. Much lias been said written con. earning the largo amount of motor traffic over these foads, rnd the local authority have bsnn at a lose to ki ow what to do to cope with the difficulty. rro have beotn made to secure an order >estriotinig the speed o-f motors, but the Council have apparently come to the oor- rect conclusion that measures would re- sult in a general boy.oout;,ng- of tho district by motorists. Tho motoring fraternity are a large ami influential body. Immediately their free- dom of action is threatened in a particular area, the fact is extensively advortisod in their own journals, and the district in question is tabooed at onoe. As I eay, the CoJwyn Bay councillors appear to have grasped the faot tha.t this sort of thing would do the town no good. and they oomsequently very wisely toned down their oljeclions. SOLVING THE MOTOR CAR TRAFFIC QUESTION Now, however, they have a ahanee to attain their object without in any way prejudicing themselves the motorists. When a tram- way is constructed a Board of Trade ofiiaial makes a thorough inspection of the proposed route, and -it the same time carefully investi- gate* jihe methods of construction, the question of electrical equipment, oars, and so on, and he at the time ooinmands strong powers of recommendation to the Board of Trade as to the speed limit to bo adopted. He may, for instance, fix upon a certain part of tho route over which he wculd recommend a maximum speed limit of eight miles an hour on account of the large amount of traffic, dangerous curves, etc. Ho may demand the arranging of a compulsory stopping plaoe at another point. This, of course, means the limitation of speed. Tram cars restricted to a speed of from ten to twelve miles an hour must, therefore, govern motor oar triffio, beoause if it is safe for the tram oars to run at a given speed only i,t is only reason vjIc to ask that the same rule ap plies to all cthr vehicles. Here, then, the Colwvn Bay councillors have an opportunity of achieving their purpose in regulating motor oa.r '-raffic without making thTTi.seIves obnoxious to motorisiis in general. All who have had experience of the tnam sys- tem- in vogue in Ixandon, Manchester, Leeds, or any of "1r large towns, will bear me out when I say that far from impeding and inter- fering with the traffic, th4) olecbrio cars have served in a v onderful manner to regulate it- in many instances, they have brought order where chaos previously reigned- NO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. Another why I the present company should be miopo; • < [9 tha.t, whereas the old promote:* were undoubtedly in finanoiaj stro.:to; their M.c<-nx«oro arc, I believe, s.jppor- by plenty of capital. But before'spending that oapital they to make sure thnt not only will the route meet tha full requirements of the residents and visitors, but also 'hat it will be the best one to.adopt irom a dividend earning point of view Inasmuch as the route authorised some years ax-o does not in any way fulfil these c-crcdit-ions the;; a.re now socking a deviation of the route in order to construct a line which will be more economical in its cost rnd more effective in its working M a dividend mN. «. I understand the company have every desire to meet the reasonable requirements of the local authority, and, so far as I can gather there should be no reason why they will not be materially satisfied with 1ilie arrange men ts generally. HOW THE RATES WILL BE AFFECTED. There is yet another reason—and a very oogent one—why the new scheme should be sup- ported. The looal rates will, by the advent of the tram oars, be very largely supplemented. Then, again, while the company engage the roa-ds for their own purposes they will be held wholly responsible for ths maintena-noe of prao- tlcally two-thirds of their width, thereby re- lieving the rates to that extant.

(Continuation from 4th Page). RVDAL MOUNT (Colwyn Bay) v. EPWORTH COLLEGE (Rhyl). In this match on Saturday, Rydal lost the toss, and Truman kicked off. The game was ha.rd fought, and when ten minutes had olapsed the homesters forced a corner. This was well placed by J. Wood, and a penalty was awarded for an infringement of the rules. This was entrusted to A. K. Lancaster, who made no mistake in opening' the home account. From the centre Epw^ ih pressed, and Cook brought off a splendid save. Sankey was loxt oon- spicuous with an individual run, his final effort unfortunately going over the line. From a. long shot—almost haif the length of the field- James added a seoond, and two minutes had not elapsed before A. K. Lanoaster notched a third with a. beautiful shot. There was no denying tho superiority of the Rydalians, and thay held the upper hand right up to the in. terval, when the scare was three goals to nil j in their favour. The seoond half was as keenly contested as the first, and Epworth managed to score their first point. At the other end Truman and Sankey tried pot shots, but the visiting cus- todian saved. Epworth were now playing batter, and had it not been for splendid 'le- fensive work by Melling a score must certainly havo resulted. From end to end the ball was carried repeatedly, but almost on each occasiori t.he defence was too good for the opposing for- wards. Epworth notched a second, but before timo J. Wood scored again for Rydal. ai rived with the soare:—Rydal Mount, 4) Epworth College, 2. The feature of the game was the play of Melling, at back, for Rydal. He has madfc gp-eat progress this season, and is amongst he finest of junior players on tho Coast. Jam H. the captain, at centre-half, has slightly deteri- orated, and leaves his man a little too much, giving hitn every chance of breaking. Another player who has improved is A. K. Lancaster, who is making a great najne for himself as 1- goa' getter. In almost every match he has tiad at least one goal to his credit.

EPWORTH COLLEGE 2nd XI. (Rhyl) v. RYDAL MOUNT 2nd XI. (Colwyn Say). Whilst the senior teams were playing at Col- wyn Bay the reserve elevens met at Rhyl, and a very one-sided game found Rydal easy winners by eight goals to nil. Barnsley, the centre- forward, soored six of the eight gVials. He this season a most prolific scorer.

LLANDUDNO CORINTHIANS v. BANGOR WEDNESDAYS. At Llandudno. on Wednesday afternoon, the Llandudno Corinthians encountered Bangor Wednesdays team in a League match. Play during the first half was one sided, and at the interval the homesters led by three to nil. During tho second half Bangor improved their play, and succeeded in scoring. Tho home, however, showed the superior form through- out, and came off winners by three goals to one.

COLWYN BAY WEDNESDAYS v. LLANDUDNO WEDNESDAYS. These teams met on the Rhos Field, Colwyn Bay, on Wednesday afternoon. Both elevens were etrongly represented. A one-sided game, which neods no notes, resulted in a. runaway victory for Colwyn Bay by eight goals to one.

LLAHDEOAI v. BANCOR COH'.NTHSANS. This match was played at Llandogai. The homesters won the tees, and elected to play with the wind slightly in their favour. Corinthians started pressing, and tho homesters' goal narrow- ly escaped once or twice. Llandegai then rushed down the field, but A. H. Owen, the visitors' defender, sent the ball back. Llandegai were awarded a free-kick, which was entrusted to W. Thomas, from which he scored with a lovely shot. Half-time arrived without any more scoring being done. The game restarted, and tho Corinthians at on-co preesed, giving the home defenders a hard time. Llandegai made one or two rushes, but the ball soon came back. At last, from a com- bined move by tho visitors, Bertie Williams scorccl with a 6wift shot, which gave the homo cll.3todia.n no chance. Corinthians kept up tho prœ(mre, but no morc scoring took placo. For tho visitors, A. H. Owen and Fred Lloyd played a 8plendid game, the formcr making wme finø clearances. Final result: Corinthians, 2; Llandegai, one.

PENMAENMAWR v. LLANDUDNO CELTS. The Penmaenmawr Wednesday Football Team came in for a eevero beating at the hands of the Llandudno Colts on Wednesday. The match was played at Llandudno, and the Celts succeeded in beating their opponents by five goals to one.

FOOTBALL NOTES. VALE OF CONWAY. The Roosters journeyed to Colwyn Bay on Saturday to playoff the drawn match in the Amateur Cup tie, but muoh to thQ disappoint- ment of a host of spectators, the referee (Mr J Roberts, Bangor) was not able. to turn up owing to his being taken ill at Conway. The Llanrwat secretary was informed that the Associa- tion would bear the expenses, and on that con- dition they decided to play a friendly match. In my opinion, it would have been much better if they had asked Coiwyn Bay for a guarantee of half the gate. • • » • The spectators immediately on finding out that tho game was only a friendly one, made a raid on the gatemen for their money back, and they were given tickets, which, we understand, will be available on Saturday next, when the gamo will be played off. » o « » The game was decidodly in fa-vour of tho Roosters. The visitors were the first to score, Carter completely beating the dcfenco with a low ground shot. Immediately afterwards, McCann put in a stinger, which put the sides level. Again did the Roosters press, and from a lovely pass by Carter, Finchett dlaced tho ball between the posts. Nothing further was scored up to half-time. After having been regaled with coffee, the players again set themselves to work, and although Colwyn Bay woro now playing to their favourite goal, they had considerable difficulty in penetrating the visiting defence. After some twenty minutes' play, Trovor Jones was penalised, a.nd the reforee awarded tho Bayitea a penalty kick. This was resented by the team as well as a numoor of the home ¡mpportcr5, and it was not before some time had been iost that tho Roosters decided to play on. From tho penalty the Bay drew level. Tho homo defence after being penalised bccamo exceedingly erratic, and allowed tho Bay to add two more goals. Carter also scored for Llanrwst; and thus the game ended in favour of the Bay by four goab to three.
