CLAIM AGAINST AN ABERGELE GROCER. DISPUTE AS TO TERMS OF SALE. At Rhyi County Court, on Friday, before his Honour Judge Moss, the Virol Co., Ltd., claim- ed JB2 17s from Mrg Fletcher, Abergele, who keops a grocer's shop in that town. Mr H. Per- cival Williams was for plaintiffs, and Mr E. A. Oraibbe for defendant. Mr Williams stated that the plaintiffs were a Buhsidiary company of Bovril, Ltd. "Vàol". to the value of the amount claimed was supplied to the defendant on February lQfch, 1905. For the defenoe it would be alleged that, the goods were aold on the conditions known as "sale or return," a custom which was adopted by some firms who were anxious to find a market for their goods. The plaintiffs did not carry on business on those lines. Distinct instructions had been given to travellers to that effect. As they could always find a market for their goods it was not neco.aary. It was curious that no mention of the sale or return transaction had not been mentioned before. Tho Judge asked if the goods had been re- turned? Mr C'rabbe: They were returned, but re- fused. Mr Williams said that seventeen shill.ngs had been paid into Court, representing the quantity of "Virol" sold. Walter Henry Ilton, who has charge of the sale for the plaintiffs in the Manchester a.nd Welsh districts, bore out his solicitor's state- ment, and said the order was obtained by one of the Bovril" travellers. By Mr C'rabbe: The rarvellei' was not pre- sent because no wats travelling, and was not on the staff of the plaintiff company. He denied that the. traveller had sold the gooda on tho understanding alleged. He was paid on com- mission at the end of etch round, but if he made a bad debt he would have to refund his com- jnission. The defendant's husband, Fred. Jas. Fletoher, slated that in his wife's absence he t-aw the traveller on .the day in question. Ho refused to take any •■Virol'' because at that time he had not heard c.f it, and there was no demand for it. The traveller then said they wanted to nush, and eventually persuaded him to take kirao "Vírô:" on the conditions mentioned. It wa., an extraordinary way of doing busino.-s but ho had entered into suniiar tran^actioni} previous- ly. Peter Jones, an assistant, corrobora.ted. His Honour adjourned the caio for the tnv veilcr in question to attend.

On Saturday, a. fete, organised by the Mold Urban District Council, was held in aid of the fund lor developing the pleasure resort—Bailey Hiil Park.

'Dewicy, musical director of Catlin's Pierrots, ;was given a complimentary benefit on the Pro- taenade pitch. An entirtaining programme, aided by a fine evening, attracted a large at- tendance.

The Hjme should be Mr Edwin Butler Bayliss. BOWLS BY CANDLELIGHT.-Over sixty competitors have been taking part in a bowling handicap on the Conservative Club's green du- ring the past five weeks. The proceedings came to a singular close on Tuesday night, when the final match was played in candlelight. The first Srize lay between Messrs H. Heap and G. feiior, two veteran bowlers; but as the latter has been holiday-making, a difficulty had been experienced in playing off the match. How- ever, on Mr Mellor's arrival, on Tuesday even- ing, he challenged his opponent to contest the title by candlelight Tather than prolong the rcseult any further. The challenge was prompt- ly accepted. Candles were procured, and the necessary officials were appointed. Quite a crowd witnessed the proceedings, and the live- liest interest centred in the game. Mr Mellor got away in splendid style, and at one stage the soore was called "twelve-two" in his favour. At that point. Mr Hean secured the "jack," and playing remarkable bowls, taking the cireum- Btanccs into consideration, he quickly gained the lead, and finally ran out the victor with a score of 15-12. Loud cheers greeted him at the close. Another handicap competition opened last even- ing. THE PIER CONCERTS. Meet of the visitors have left the town. Never- theless, tho pier concerts are still largely patron- ised..On Saturday evening, the special ooncert attracted an encouraging "house," and the pro- gra.mme was certainly worthy of it. Madame Dews, one of the most popular lady vocalists taking part in these entertainments, and Mr Percy Hail, the talented 'celloist attached to the orchestra, were the soloists, and both were enco-cd after each appearance. Mr T. Henrv Smith, the deputy conductor, led the orchestra", and as usual gave great satisfaction.

Birch gave a very pleasing ee.cchon on the celesta. One of the features of Tuesday evening's programme was a cornet solo & Mr T- \V Fenwidc. On Wednesday, Mire V\irin:e I,dad made her first appearance at those concerts, and was cordially welcomed. Mr Johan Gczink performed, on the same occasion his own "Concer(stuck" on the xylophone. TOWN1 ADVERTISING ASSOCIATION. The General Committee of the Town Adver- tising Association met in the Council Chamlber, on Thursday evening. In the absence of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, Mr W. R. Hands presided. Mr Edwards reported that copies of the new guide had been presented to the Council, at their last meeting. It was de- cided to hold a miscellaneous concert during the last fortnight in November in aid of the Asso- ciation. With reference to the amusements for the coming season, Mr T. Edwards suggested that they appiy to the Council for a pitch or the whole of the sea front, the Association to sublet. They wero devoting time and money to advertising the town, and he was sure that if a reasonable scheme was drafted out, the Coun- cil would hot be against them. Mr Fleet said he thought that if there was a clause in the contracts prepared for the amusement providers, oompelling- them to give a day's takings to- wards the Association, it would meet with their approval. After some discussion, it was decided to adjourn the matter until the next meeting of the Association. Mr Jos. H. Roberts present- ed a draft of rules for the Association. Mr Edwards reported that the concert promised by Catlin's Pierrots had been held on the previous Saturday. The result was that the Association would benefit to the extent of over £ 11 (hear, hear). It :was resolved that a letter of thanks be written to Mr Frere, the manager. The Secretary reported that in alt, 2103 guides had been sent :out during, the six months' term be- tween 19th March and 19th September. During ten months of the previous year, only 1502 had been applied for, so that practically the applica- tions this year were double. Mr Roberts pro- posed a vote of thanks to the Secretary for hav- ing kept the record day by day. It was the best information that had yet been given. Mr Do- well seconded, and the motion was carried unani- mously. The Treasurer (Mr Jos. H. Roberts) reported a balaace in the bank to the credit of the Association of £ 114, but this did not in- cludo the £ 11 from the Pierrots. The amount owing was only J622. The following were en- rolled members of the Association:—Messrs J. B- Randies, J. R. Jones, S. Owen (Excelsior Stores)t and Mr B, T. Wooldridge. OXFORD UNIVERSITY EXTENSION LECTURES. The attention of readers is directed to the ad- vertisement published in another column an- nouncing that a course of six lectures in con- nection with the University of Oxford is to be delivered in Colwyn Bay during the approach- ing autumn. The lectures are to be on Tonnv- son and Browning, and the lecturer is Mr T. A. Dale, M.A., of Merton College, Oxford, a Uni- versity extension lecturer of much experience and possessing gifts of a very high order. The University Extension Movement seeks to bring the University to the people when the people cannot come to the University. Its aim is to bring within the reach of every one the oppor- tunity of higher education, which widens the in- telligence. enlarges the sympathies, and enables men and women to empioy their leisure better, and to enjoy it more. A certain number of students oan obtain this higher education at the Universities, but for those who are unable to come bo the Universities, the University Exten- sion Movement.secures as many as possible of the advantagjs of University education. It fur- nishes instruction organised in courses of lec- tures, t with discussions, classes, exercises, examinations, and certificates of proficiency or distinction. 1 It seeks not only to supply teaching adapted to popular needs, but to stimu- late the -iemaBd for such teaching. It directs readers to the best books in each subject, by encouraging habits and suggesting methods of systematic study, helps students to make the Lest use -f libraries, and to assist them in home reading and culture. The lecturers—some sixty in number—by whom its work is carried on, are giaduates; of distinction specially selected for their competence as teachers. They form the staff of what is in effect a University College maintained by the co-operation of nearly three hundred towns.. In connection with each course the delegates issue a travelling library. The lectures have bfcen arranged for under the aus- pices of an influential local committee, of which Mr G. W. Mould is the president., and Mr W. Jones, N-: P. Bank, treasurer, and Mrs Lucas, Highclere, and .Miss Briggs, Coed Pella, the hon. secretaries; from whom further information may be obtained.

BETTWS. NO EXPENSIVE WATER SCHEME WANTED.—At the monthly meeting of the Rural District Council, on Friday, during the consideration of the report of the Medical Offi- cer of Health as t-ü water supplies for the small districts, the Rev. Lodwiok Ellis asked Dr. Lloyd Roberts to bea.r in mind that the supplying of small and scattered distriots was different to that of towns and villages. It was impossible to pro- vide water servioes everywhere without going to enormous expense, and people had for genera- tions found adequate means of supplying their household with water without going in for ex- pensive schemes. Dr. Lloyd Roberts replied that a place like Bettws and Cefn wanted water- He received plenty of complaints when 1k> went there.

SALE OF EWES AT MOLD. At the Mold Auction Mart on Friday, Mr J. Brad- burue Price conducted one of his highly successful sales of ewe and store lambs. The sale has now at- tained much more than a local reputation, and such was the demand for pens that all available space would not meet the requirements. The. stock was shown in the best of bloom, and the trade for ewes was good throughout, in some cases exceeding expec- tations. Lambs in fleshy condition made prices quite up to the store sale held three weeks ago, whilst those wanting condition were easier, but the prices obtained for this class would be well up to those current in other markets. The auctioneer again provided lun- cheon for his patrons, which was well attended. The railway arrangements were all that could be desired, itruck.9 being loaded early in the day, enabling buyers to get their stock home without inconvenience. Under- noted are some of the prices optained: Messrs. l'eake, 48s (ewes); Rowlands, 4Gs Gd; Har- greaves, 46s; Scott, 458 Gd II,.
