BOWLS. PROPOSED NORTH WALES AND CHESTER LEAGUE. READERS' VIEWS INVITED. Bowls are taking a very firm hold in North Wales, and in view of the increasing popularity of the game, the suggestion that a North Wales and Chester Bowl- ing League should be formed will not appear strange. There arc now clubs at Rhyl. Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, Mold, Denbigh, Ruthin, Llangollen, and Chester. It Is also stated that a very fine green once existed at Llannvst, and that very little would be required to bring it into playing order again. One of the best features of the game is that both old and young can plav it. There are to-day in several of the clubs many players not out of their teens who meet "old stagers" on an equality. There is no roason why a very substantial Associa- tion should not be formed. It must be established on amateur lines, as those who belong to Chester and North Wales Clubs do not believe in the pro- fessional element, which so largely characterises many English clubs. The Rhyl Club has been held responsible for arranging many matches during tho past three years. They now find that many triends have been made by the interchange of visits, a.nd that the scheme mooted is steadily gaining ground. With ten clubs in an Association a very pleasant series of League matches could be arranged, and North Wales would also be able to meet many of the English Associations. A few years ago the Rhyl Club was in close touch with the Manchester Amateur Association, and a series of most pleasant matches resulted. What is possible with one club should be equally possible and a greater success with ten clubs. The towns in North Wales which have bowling clubs depend more or less on visitors for their sup- port. They are "season places," and the fact. should not be lost sight of that there are large numbers of English bowlers who will not spend their holidays in a town where there is no bowling green. In no place has this been more clearly proved than at Rhyl. One "nas but to spend a few hours on the greens in that town during the season to realise what bowling means to a "season place." Many have been heard "ti declare that they were- visiting Rhyl because thcro was a green there." In their owh interest the coast towns should encourage bowls, and the formation of a Bjwling League or Association would bring the game more prominently to the front, and at the same time bring grist to the mill. The Pioneer" columns are open to those in- terested in the game to give expressfon to their views, and I hope that they will not hesitate to do so. Now is the time to set the ball rolling, and the nearer the Jack It is played the better it will be for all true lovers of ?,,e ancient game. I shoit be pleased t,hear from any 'Se in- of til? terested, and anything I can do to further the for- mation of a North Wales and Chester Bowling Association it will be a pleasure to perform. ROUND PEG.

RHYL v. OOLWYN BAY. On Saturday the Oolwyn Bay Constitutional Club team accepted an invitation from Rhyl to visit that town and play the local club. To say that they ex- pected to win was very "wide of the Jack, but they made the Journey with a good heart, and met with a most cordial reception. The Rhyl Club have a reputation for hospitaIity-and a good game. Tho Bayites had both. It la true that the Oolwyn Bay Olub has only been in existence a few months, rjnd some of the members have not put in as much practice as they might have done, especially when they had to meet In Rhyl some who may be said "to live on the green." However, the visitors were not downhearted, and they played to win, even though tliey realised that their chances were small. The only ray of hope was that when the Rhylites pay the return visit their number will be put up. The day was .pleasant, and the green fast—just a bit too fast for some of the woods the visitors brought. It was also said that some of the players tried for the Jack with strange woods-a great mistake at any time, and especially In a match on a new green. As will be seen by the score, the Rhyl men won each game, and came out with a net win of 136. It was the first match the Bayitea had played, but it is hoped It will not be the last. There were a few exciting touches during the afternoon, and a very pleasant time was spent. The scores were as follows Rhvl. S D. W. J. Simcock „ „ w „ 11 J Aidney 11-15 J. Pierce Lewis 11 D. W.

The new bayonot has been approved for use with the short rifle. It is longer than the regu- lation one, and in ordor to increase the length of roach, and to prevent top heaviness when fixed, it is relatively thinner and tapered to a point. Mr Jamos B. Duke, the well-known hoad of the American Tobacco Trust, has presented his wife with a magnificent, pearl necklace, valued at £ 40,000 The pearls are all flakless and per- fectly graduated, and it is doubtful if the neck- lace oouid be matched in the world. Tho persons reported to have diod from snake bile in ndia in 1906 numbered 22,854, as against 21,797 in 1905, the increased mortality being ascribed to hign floods, which drove snakes into bc.i.;S-s and homesteads. The "Pioneer" is recognised as one of the most popular papers in tho Principality. Splendid medium for advertisem.

LLANDUDNO FIELD CLUB. VISIT TO BODYSGALLEN. Tho members of the LJa.ndudno Field Club re- cently visited Bodysgallen on the invitation of Colonel Henry Mostyn, and were received on ar- rival by the host and his wife. The party was divided into two sections, one being conducted by Colonel Mostyn and tho other by Mrs Mos- tyn. After going round the gardens and view- ?ng the house frojii the exterior the inside was ingpected and partioular attention given t.o the old arohitecturaj features and the beaittiful oak panelling' and pla,,?ter modelliiit 1,711- fortunate I .v the cra?, was dull, and tl)e clu niam- bers missed the opportunity of seeing and enjoy- ing the unusually beautiful views obtainable on a fine day from the Old Terrace and the Tower roof. To many the gardens appeared ideal- there is the proper combination of house and garden; eaoh a part and parcel of a home and noithor complete without the other prt. Bodysgallen is a place of great antiquary, and Lie prominent dat» to be seen on the exterior \iz., 162' R. v\.K, only refers to the particu- lar portion of the house on which it is placed. Tile name Bodysgallen is most probably derived from Bod Caswallon,the dwelling-place of Scallan. One historian says, "Near this site was a resi- dence of Caswallon Law Hir (Caswallon with a lozio, hand), who su-cceedod to the govei-eignity of N.,Ih Walos ;n 443 an?l flied 517" evidently' ref(,rr'n?- h to t castlc, that once stood cn the I c p oi a s,, iali iiill rear trie proseiit house. After boing- given a short history of the house and the [ art if. pi tyod in the stirring days of long ago, the members of the club were entertained to tea. The excursion was one of the most enjoy- pHe arranged by tho Field Club, and was l thoroughly appreciated by the members.

————— ——-— HOCKEY. ALTERATION OF RULES FOR THE PRESENT SEASON. At the beginning of another hookey season it may be well to explain the ohanges that have been made in the rules. These fortunately are few in number, and do not materially affect play. The rule dealing with the penalty bully is now stated with greater olearnes3. All players—other than the two taking th epenalty bully—are dis- tinctly forbidden to enter the striking circle or take any further part in the game until the ball has been driven outside the oircle. Umpires are now required to give all decisions without appeal This method was very generally adopted last year by arrangement between the two captains. Appealing ia not necessarily de- barred, but it will not-or should not—havo any effoot on umpire's decisions. There was a proposal on foot last season to limit scooping the ball. The limit was to be a height of not more than four feet from the ground, but this proposal has evidently been dropped. No one will regret It less than the much worried umpire, who already has to carry a distance of five yards continually in his mind's eye. To ask him to gauge four feet from the ground in the same manner would be to make his life hardly worth living. If there are any clubs who still play with a composition ball they will do wen to lay in a stock of leather cricket balls immediately. Um- pires are instructed to forbid the use of any baD other than a leather one. On Saturday the Colwyn Bay Hockey team open their season with a match against St. Asaph at Colwyn Bay. To meet the visitors the follow- ing team has been ohos m: — Goal. S Rush ■ backs, J. H. Wood and II. F. Ashby; halves' Medhurst, A. Evans-Hughes, and W. Parry; for- wards, L. Matthews, S. Horton, W. Bailey, A. N. Wills, and W. J. Jones. Reserves: Goal' B Dioken: baok, H. Tonkin; halves, Walthall- forwards, H. Daviea. It will be noticed that several of last year's players are again available The new comers include H. F. Ashby and 8: Horton (who has had good training in Ireland) and W. Parry, who lately gave up football, but finds it difficulll to give up sport. The prospects of the Colwyn Bay club are very promuing.

Any objection should be forwarded to the o:crk to the County Council before the 26th inst. PROPOSED NEW COUNTY RATE BASIS. The Chairman read a communication from the County Council with respect to a new basis for levying the county rate. The figures were given under the present system and under the new. They are as follows in the St. Asaph UnionBudfari, present rateable value £2521, new bas-is £ 1948; Cwm, pre&ent C3932 new ba-sis £ 2502; Treraeirchion, precent C4462 new baeis £ 4-876; Me i id en, present £ 3066, new basis £ 2759; Pree'atyn, present £ 12,432, new basis £ 11,706; Rhyl, present £ 62,397, new basis £ 62,032; St. Asaph, present £ 5955, new basis £ 8974; Bodei- wyddan, present £ 5988, new basis £ 4011; Waen, pretont £2180, new basis £ 1427; Rhuddian, pre- sent £ 13,550, new basis ;sii,ooo..

Mr Conwy Bell informed tho Council tia-t notice of the last instalment of the loan acquired in 188"f for the old sewer had been received.

This matter has been in abeyance for some time. The question is whether the land in question is common land, and whether the Council should assert- the right 1 of the pubiio to it, or whether it should be I assessed. The preeent occupier, Mr Edward Jones, declares that he has a perfectly clear'title to the land. Mr Barriott, as an overseer, said it was high time the question was settled. The matter was deferred pending a Court Leet which will take place early next year. INSCRIPTION AT PARLIAMENT HOUSE. Mr Enyon introduced this matter. He &aid he had obtained an estimate for painting the letters of the inscription at the Old Parliament House, and that Mrs Conwy had given hoi eanotion for the inscription to be placed there. Mr Barnett doubted whether the Council oould spend any money in this way, and the matter waa deferred until the next meeting. SHOULD THE COUNCIL MAINTAIN FOOTPATHS T Mr Joseph Roberts reported that a small com- mittee a.nd the clerk had inspected the fc-olpath leading from the Marsh Fields to Mr Beech's field on the way to Bodelwyddan, and recom- mended that four sleepers be put near two bziie- There had been rails there before, but they had become rotten. Mr Enycn aaid he had not ceen any ctiles. Thcro were? ordy ordina r 116 rLt"th,?, sli,)uld not go Ur 13arnott thought t to any expense in this respect. They were only doing it to improve other people's property, and if they did it in one case they would have to do it &L round. The Chairman said the Council had the right to repair the stiles. Mr Barnott agreed that they had the right, but the tenants of the fields should keep them in repair. Mr Joseph Roberts pointed out that if in wet weather in the winter anything happened to a child who might happen to fall into a ditch the Council would be held responsible. Mr Barnett said that during such weather people ought to go by road. It wae decided to execute the repairs. LIGHTING MATTER, A meeting of th« Lighting Committee fol- lowed, when several matters relating to the lighting of the district were discussed.

MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES AT LLANDUDNO. A WIFE'S APPLACATION. At Conway Petty Sessions on Monday, Eleanor Roberts* Wern Villflrj Taliesin-stroet, Llandudno, applied for a separation and maintenance order against hex husband, Robert Owen Roberts, of Bolton. Mr Chamberlain (Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson), who appeared for the complainant, said that the married life of the parties was most unhappy. Eleven years ago the complainant was assaulted by her husband, but owing to the in- tervention of some friends legal proceedings were stayed. In March last year the defendant signed an agreement to allow his wife 10s a week, but ho had not fulfilled that agreement. The com- plainant resided with hor son at Llandudno, where defendant turned up at times and as- saulted her, and she suffered greatly in health, in oonsequence of his cruelty. The defendant had no desire to live with his wife nor to contri- bute towards her maintenance. Elizabeth Roberts, wife of the defendant, said she had been married 21 years, and 11 years ago had to summon her husband for assault, but the summons was withdrawn. They afterwards periodically lived togother. In the summer months he gave her money, but never sent her any rfiOhey when he went away in the winter. In February last he oame home very drunk one night, and she hid herself in the hall, and even- tually locked herself in a bedroom. She was in delicate health in consequence of his conduct. Since March she had only reoeived 10s from him. Her son resided with her, and was earning 10s a week, but He declared that if her husband came to live witn them he would leave immediately. One night her husband threatened to kill her, and she had to look herself in an outhouse. The defendant earned L2 a week in summer fts a painter. Maggie Williams, who lived with the complain- ant as a help corroborated the evidence of the previous witness, ana said that in her opinion no poir.an could livo with the defendant. She was afraid (f nim herself. Mrs Roberts was in a very weak state of health. Dr. Goody stated that he had attended the com.ilainanr for abiut eight years. About six years ago he warned the defendant that if he did not dosist from molesting his wife ho would report him to the police himself. Mrs Roberts had suffered greatly, and she had upon several occasions sent for him wften her husband had upfet her. Defendant, in his evidence, said that he had dc no all he could for his wife, and when working always gave bar money. He had never put his kind on her. In renly to Mr Chamberlain, Defendant denied that he had cut his wife's head open about 11 years ago. Shj turned him out of the house, after whioh he declined to send her any money. The Bench granted the separation, and a iriintonanoe order for 15s a week. Defendant said that he could not afford to pay go muoh. Mr Chamberlain, after consultation with his client, said that Mrs Roborts would be satisfied with 109 a week, the amount the defendant had agreed to pay, on condition that he paid all the ooste. The Bench thereupon reduced the amount to 10s a week.

STARTLING STATEMENT by a Well-known Police Court Missionary. Many and varied are the experiences of police court officials but the one related here which befel Mr O. Abbott, a late Police Court Mis- sionary, of 38, Gipsy-road, Leicester, nearly pos- sessed all the elements of tragedy. Mr Abbott telis the story of hi:; narrow escape, and wonder- ful recovery to health, with the aid of Dr. Cas- | evil's Tablets, as follows:—"I was taken very ill {Ol,. years ago with Paralysis of the Nerves, and was ojnfinc-d to my bed. My doctor told rne I would never w-Jk again. I decided to try Dr. Casoell's Tablets, and I am pleased to say that tho re.sult w as miraculous.

LLANDUDNO AND CONWAY I SCHOOL MANAGERS. COOKERY CLASSES. A meeting of the Llandudno and Conway die- t.riot eohool managers was held at Llandudno Junction on Monday afternoon, Mr William Bevan, J.P., presiding, and the other members present wore Colonel the Hon. Henry Lloyd Mos- tyn, Messrs Richard Conway, E. E. Bone, Robert Roberta, John Owen, W. 0, Williams, Ralph Fisher, Hugh Owen, and Mrs Owen W. Roberts, together with the eputy Secretary (Mr D. R. Thomas), Mr Morris Williams (headmaster of the Junction Council School), and the Attendanoe Officer (Mr J. R. Jones). APPOINTMENT. M- Cori(-Iwen Roberts, a late student at the l' 9 Llandudno County School, was appointed a teacher (Article 50), at the Great Ormo Council School. COOKERY CLASSES. As the room formerly used for cookery lessons a.t the Llovd-street Council School, Llandudno, was now used as a classroom, it was decided- to ask the governors of the Llandudno County School to permit the cookery class_ from Lloyd- street to use the cookery room in .the new "John Bright" County School Building until ac- commodation is provided in Llovd-street. LLANDUDNO COMPLAINTS. Mr W. 0. Williams asked whether that com- mittee had anything to do with the appointment of teachers in the Llandudno no-provided schools? Certain complaints had recently been made which ought to be replied to. The eputy Clerk said that the matter was not one which could bo discussed at that meeting. Mr Robert Roberts: But it can be discussed at our next meeting in Carnarvon.

PROPOSED NEW SCHOOL IN HOLYWELL DISTRICT. COUNTY COUNCIL INQUIRY. A sub-committee of the Flintshire Eduoa-t.ijn Oom- mittee on Monday sat at the Victoria Ha.ll, Green- field, to inquire into th6 question of tjie most suit? able site tot the erection of tie new school which it has been aeoided feo ereot tn plaoe of the Brvnellva Church o! England Sohool, wlitoh has been condemned owing to its unfavourable situation and oid ana dilapidated condition. Mr &. Svdney Taylor presided, supported by Messrs. J. W. Bummers (chairman ot the County Council), A. M. Ealii, and T. W. Hughes, with the Secretary for Elementary Education (Mr F, Llewellyn Jones). The secretary explained the circumstances which had made tlie "inquiry necessary. The Vicar of Holywell (the Rev. J. W. Thomas) inquired by whom the school had been condemned. The Chairman replied he believed he was correct .in saying that it was condemned by a Government inspector under the provisions of the Education Act of 1902. It was stated a school would have to be built to accommodate some 300 to 350 children, at a cost of about £ 4,000, exclusive of site. The question of site was then discussed, and the consensus of opinion appeared to be in favour of a spot opposite to the Victoria Hall. The neighbri'jrhod of the old Basing- work Abbey was also tnentioned, but. ft was stated the site would not be available, and that it would, moreover, be dangerous to children on account of the crumbling state of the ruins of the Abbey. The Chairman took it as the general opinion that the site opposite tha Victoria Hall would be tho beet. The next point considered was as to the incidenca of the capital charge in respect of the building to be erected. From correspondence read it appeared that the Holywell Urban Council objected to being called upon to pay any portion of this, asi they had already full school accommodation for all the children of their district; on the other hand, the Holywell Parish Council objected to the Urban Council's protest, and pointed out that they had contributed to the old School Board rate for the çlvjl parish of Holy- well, of which Greenfield parish then formed part, from 1870 to 1902, Statements having been made on both sides, tlie Chairman said the committee would give careful con- sideration to all the representations which had beea m:.de to them.
