The Welsh Coast Pioneer and Review for North Cambria

THE HOMESTERS DRAW FIRST BLOOD. A line dash by D. R. Evans resulted in a shot whicii skimmed the cross-bar. Evans followed with another shot into Jones arms. R. H. Ro- berts attempt to break through was frustrated by Taylor, who pasted to Evans, who had hard iu>es of scoring. The home left wing were re- sponsive for several fine moves. At last H. Brown scored the first point for Holyhead with a beauty. After some micfield pay, W. T. Jones passed to H. Roberts, who gave Jones a warm handful. J. Jones, who was in fine form, made a. dash along the ieft, but encountered W. r.. and succumbed, but the visitors pressed heavily. Conian handled within penalty fcrea, and Trevor being entrusted with the pen- alty, scored easily. In a few seconds, the visitors were similarly penalised, bat Parry, who was entrusted with the penalty kick, sent in a alow shot, whicn v. as easily cleared. At half time the score was equa.i-Holyhca.d, 1; Carnarvon, 1. Play having been resumed, the homesters pressed, H. Roberts testing Jones, and forcing him to concede a corner. From the oentre, Brown made a good attempt at scoring, but luck failed him. After some midfield play, J. Jones secured, and running down the left sent in a beauty, which gave Collier no chance. The homesters now pressed heavily, Brown only miss- ing by inches. D. R. Evans, who acted as centre-forward during the second half, also caused Jones some anxiety. At last, Brown, after eluding tha visitors' backs, centred to H: Wil- liams, who scored easily. BOTH SIDES ACTIVE. The score being now level, both teams became very aotive, Brown testing Jones unsuccessfully, and EliLis heading against the upright, but at last- during a melee, Taylor lifted the ball to Rowlands, wfho immediately headed it into the not, giving his eide the lead. The home team continued to press, the left wing testing Jones, but although all the forward line bombarded Jones he held his charge intact, the game end- ing as forlows: -Holyihead, 3; Carnarvon, 2.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. HOLYHEAD. The Juniop Cup-tie between Holyhead and Carnarvon was very evenly contested, and it was a "toss up" which side would win until the whistle to cease play had been sounded. • • • It is a moot question whether the home com- mitter should have entered for the Junior Cup- tie, seeing that they had already entered the team for the Amateur Cup. The first occasion the players take part in the latter tie they will be debarred from taking part in the Junior Cup- tie, ar.d as Holyhead has no reserve team capa- ble of taking their place, with any hopes of success, these fixtures are naturally void of the interest they would otherwise command. • • • • Although Carnarvon lost, they showed their merit. In Trevor and Thomas they have a good defence, while the half-back line is unusually strong. Of the forward line, I was particularly struck with the play of the outside left, J. Jones, who is both fast and accurate. He was ably assisted by his inside partner, H. Roberts, while tho right wing and the centre, W. Jones, also well sustained their reputation. • • « » During the game an incident occurred amongst the spectators, which provoked a "loud smile," in the immediate vicinity of the catastrophe. The boundary rope on the town side chanced to be in a slippery and wet state, and against it leaned a spoc.ator, who had placed his hands in his pockets. Suddenly he over-balanced, and fell upon his face into about three inches of mud. For a short period he remained in that position, owing to the fact that he was- temporarily help- less, owing to his hands being in his pockets. However, he was soon relieved from his unfortu- nate predicament, and several willing hands helped to remove the traces of the "fall." » • » • As to the homesters, the new player, D. R. Evans, gave a very good display, especially during the second half, when he was removed from the outside left to the centre, while H. Williams, who scored one of the points for Holy- head, gave a very creditable display. < The other men played in their usual form, Brown, Rowlands, and Roberts especially being responsible for some fine shots. The back lines also gave a good display. Collior put in some grand defence work.

i HOCKEY. ST. ASAPH v. LLANDUDNO. On Saturday the Llandudno hockey team again maintained their reputation bv gaining a victory over the St. Asaph eleven, who were their visitors. The home team turned out short of one man, as Hudson failed to put in an appearance, and were represented as fallows:- Goal: Mayger; back: C. M. Jones; half backs: A. Hague, C. F. Bone, J. Thomas; forwards: E. E. Bone, Woodward, W. E. Jones, W. Bailey and T. Jones. From the first it was evident that the homesters were masters of the situation, but they have not yet got over the foult of dribbling too much among the halves, and the passing among the forwards is also faulty. W. E. Jones is going in for a good goal average this year, and scored three on Saturday. It is hoped that he will repeat hia fine performance of last year Woodward succeeded in notching the other piint. The visiting team were mostly composed of Rhyl and Colwyn Bay men, their proper team being un- able to turn out. The final result was Llandudno 4; St. Asaph 2. COLWYN BAY v. TREFNANT. These teams wi.1 meet in a club match on the Colwyn Bay venue on Saturday. The home team will be :-Rush, goal; Bankes and Wood, baks; Law, Oonnah, Evans. Hughes, halves; Leigh Matthews, Bailey, Horton, Wills and Thompson, forwiris. lie- serves: Dicken, Walthall, W. J. Jones and H. Div.-s

LLANRWST .COUNTY COURT. A LIGHT LIST. This court was held on Fiday, before his Honour Judge Moss- The business was light, and soon disposed of. CLAIM FOR RENT. Wm. Jamee, agent for the Rev. John Goweir, Tretnw, sued Trwb. Chambers, licensee of the Giian Conway HoteL for a portion of rent at the rate oc j652 per annum, in respect of the quarter esnding the 29th December. Mr R. O. Davies appealed for the plaintiff, and Mr A. LJ,oy,d Griffith defended. Evidence was given by the Rev- John Gower, and his agent, as to the letting the premises known as Blodwen House to the defendant- The defeTaut admitted that an agreement had been made. but that Mr Gower had under- taken to make a rebate of the quarter ending December 29th in consideration off the fact that he had to pay the fees in respect of the trans- fer of the lioence. He (defendant) had not gonu into possession at any time, it being his intention to let the premises- The Judge held that the rent was due, and gave judgment for a. COMPENSATION CLAIM. A compensation case was mentioned, in which the Ty'nybryn Quarry Co., Dolvvyddelen. had paid E3 a month compensation to one Robert Griffith, but a.bout four months ago discontinued payment, and in consequence Mr Griffiths, soli- citor registered the agreement to make the quiarry pay weekly compensation- Notice of this was sent to the Quarry Co., but this, it is alleged, they did not heed- Mr R- O. Davies now intimated that a further course might be taken against the Quarry Co. to pay. Mr A Iloyd Griffith. on behalf of the Com- pany, appealed to the Judge for a stay at exe- cution tor 14 days so as to prevent Mr Davies putting in foroe his threat. He was sorry if there was a mistake on the part of the Company in not taking steps to meet thenotice sent them- lihe Judge eaid the Company v.^re to blame, and that the mistake arose from, their negli- gence in not taking notice of Mr Davies' let- ter. To meet both parties, however, he would pcay execution for a fortnight.

DEATH OF COUNCILLOR T. E. HUTCHINGS, COLWYN BAY. SUDDEN CLOSE TO A PROMISING CAREER. Quite a sensation was caused at Colwyn Bay on Sunday morning by the report of the death of Councillor T. E. Hutchings? on the previous night. Mr Hutohings appears to have contracted a cold about a week previously, to which he paid little attention. On Saturday he was engaged in busi- I ness, while Sunday found him in W-is customary seat at the English Presbyterian Church. After retiring to bei on Monday evening, however, his temperature increased alarmingly, and when his medical attendant was summoned on Tuesday pneumonia was found to have supervened. During the next few days he was assiduously attended by his wife and his medical adviser, and on Friday appeared to be gradually recover- ing, but on Saturday a relapse took place, death ensuing about 11 p.m. The deceased, wno was only 31 years of age, is survived by a widow (third daughter of Coun- cillor William Davies) and two children, aged four years and six months respectively, with whom the profoundest sympathy is felt in the town and district. Thomas Ewart Hutchings was not exactly a native of Colwyn Bay, but as he had spent 29 years in the town his first recollections were of the place and its neighbourhood. His grand, father for very many years occupied the position of bailiff on t'lle Bryn Euryn Farm, Colwyn Bay, and on his retirement in 1902 the late Councillor Hutchings was appointed as his successor. This position he retained till November, 1906, when he took over the extensive milk business relinquished by Major Birch in connection with Plas Newydd Farm. Mr Hutchings had always evinoed a keen in- terest in local affairs, but it was not before much pressure was brought to bear on him that lie con- sented to stand as a candidate for the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council in April of last year. THE LATE COUNCILLOR T. E. HUTCHINGS- This was on the occasion of the arrangement of the town into wards, and of the five members returned for his ward he was the fourth. He was the youngest member of a new Council, but by no means the least influential. Level-headed, resourceful, and painstaking, he soon won the respect of his colleagues. Whenever he spoke he spoke 4to good purpose, limiting himself to a few pointed sentences of sound common sense. He was a conscientious oommittee-man, and as a member of the Highways, Lighting and Library Committees, he rendered valuable help during his too brief period of service. In fact Mr Hutchings gavo real promise of a useful and honourable career as a public man. He was attached to the English Presbyterian Church, and filled various offices in connection with it with unoommon success. He was one ot the founders of the Band of Hope, a zealous chorister and Sunday School teacher, and, about two years ago, was unanimously appointed a deacon. At the choir practice on Monday evening, Mr Glynne Jones, B.A., the choir master, referred in feeling terms to the loss which every branch of Church work had sustained by his death, and on his motion a vote of deep sympathy will) the sorrwwing family was adopted, all the members upstanding as a mark of respeot. It was further decided that a floral token be sent on behalf of the choir. A strong, yet not bigoted, advocate of tem- perance, Mr Hutchings rendered practical sup- port to every movement tending towards sobriety. He was one of the first members of the Colwyn Bay branch of the Y.M.C.A., and the district secretary of the Independent Order of Foresters. Until yesterday evening the Union Jack flut- tered at half-mast outside the municipal offices to signify the sad event.

MOUNTAINLEERING: ITS PLEASURES, DANGERS AND DIFFICULTIES." LECTURE AT LLANDUDNO. Encouraged by the success which attended the lecture given last winter, the committee of the St. Paul's Literary and Debating Society, Llan- dudno, have again arranged another series of lectures for this session. The first of these was delivered at the Church House, Craigydon, on Tuesday evening, by Mr F. Ormiston Smith, on the subject, "Mountaineering: its pleasures, dan- gers, and difficulties." Mr J. M. Archer Thompson, M.A., presided, and in introducing the lecturer said that Mr Smith was a well-known mountain climber, and a member of the Swiss Alpine Club. The sub. ject was full of interest, and he felt sure ilhey would all enjoy the lecture. Mountaineering enable them to see and feel the charm of nature unspoiled by man. Considered from a medical point of view, mountaineering was most bene- ficiar. He believed that there were climbs on the Welsh mountains as difficult as any on the Alps (applause). Mr F. Ormiston Smitn was well received, and in the course of his interesting lecture, which was illustrated by bioscope and lantern slides, described journeys up some of the best known mountains in the Alps, including Mont Blanc and the Matte:<horn The Matterhorn had stood for many years with its summit untouched, un- til at length came Mr Edward Winter, who, with some friends, successfully made the attempt, and the Matterhorn was conquered, although the journey was attended with disastrous results to one of the party. This mountair6 was generally thought, by the public, to be ifie most difficult climb in the Alps; but it was not so, although he acknowledged it to be one of the most diffi- cult. His ambition at the time he climbed the Matterhorn was to obtain a bioscope picture of a lourney up the mountains, and he had at length succeeded. The dangers and difficulties of moun- tain climbing were often exaggerated, but still there was a certain clement of danger in (l ie sport. The most dreaded danger of all was the avalanche. He had obtained a bioscope picture of an avalanche, but as it was not safe to be too near one of these falls of snow, he had been obliged to photograph it at a distance of half a mile, and therefore it looked more like a small waterfall than an avalanche. Another of the dangers of mountaineering was that of falling over snow cornioes which had formed on the ex- posed ridge. To illustrate this danger he showed on the hiosoope the result of a slip, which, had not the man been roped by two companions, would have resulted in a fall of 1200 feet on to a glacier below. Another danger arose from exhaustion, £ ,nd Mr Smith points out the folly of ttempt- ing a difficult climb without previous practice. To be fit was one of the main points in moun- taineering. One of the most difficult climbs in the Alps Was up a series of s harp peaks known as the Needles, and situated in the Mont Blanc chain. The danger of such a climb was well illus- trated by the bioscope. Mr Smith then exhibited some very picturesque mountain scenes. The animated illustrations were most vivid and realistic. Tho proceedings terminated with votes of thanks to the leoturer and chairman.

THE SHREWSBURY DISASTER. The theories that Mr Cecil Tudor Kelly, of Mold, one of the victims of the Shrewsbury accideJlt. waa riding on the footnlate of the engine and had no ticket have caused his relatives and friends to ttiake a thorough investigation of the matter. They have obtained evidence which they claim will show that both theories are untenable. Evidence as to the position of Kelly at the time of the disaster will be afforded by passengers in the same compartment, wlio are now in hospital, a.nd it will also be shown con- clusively that he was in possession of the return half of a Great Western Railway tourist ticket, 031, Bath to Rhyl. A note of the number and the ticket was taken by an examiner at Oheeter as Kelly Was travel- ling by the London and North-Western Railway to Crewe, in order that that Company might reoover the share of the price of the ticket from the Great West- ern Railway Company.

LLANDUDNO LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. CRITICISM OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS. At the Tbv.-n HalL Lland'adr.o, on Friday evening, a public meeting wa^ held under the auspices of tuo Llandudno Liberal Association. The attendance was very meagre, there being hardly two dozen people present whe-n the meeting was opened, but as tlt", proceedings went on the atten-danco increa&ed. Air Henry Woodhajl, J P., presxifed, and was supported on the Platfa-rm by Mr V. R. -a-ronison, of the Eighty Club, Alderman Robert Roberts, J-P.. Dr. J. Spinthor James, M.A., Councillors J. McMastor, Ralph Fisher, Rev. D. Lewis. THE CHAIRMAN ATTACKS THE BISHOPS. The Chairman, in his opening address, eaid they were there to listen to toe finst of a series of lectures, which toe lateral dissociation of Llandudiiio were promoting with the object of informing the public upom quastions of current politics, and it was his pleasant duty at the outset to express the indebledruets of the execu- tive for the very generourloolp aliordted to toe scheme by the Eight}' Club, one of whom. Mr ArC,TL5<:m, was to addrces the meeiting tJlat even- ing on the question erf the House 01 Lords He (the Chairman) said he had always regarded the presence in the Upper House of the Lords spiritual as anomalous and vexatious, from every point of view- The representatives of a religious sect, they arrogated to themselves authority over all in. expressing whenever occa- sion offered the great ciaims of those who dkf not sub-soribe to theux formuiia.rie3. Accepted statistics proved that the Free Churches of London were attended by at least thirty per cent, mrtre men than those of bho Kc/ia biLshrnent, and there waG reason Vj OOlieve m1Js ratio of attendance partained to the country generally, yet the emailour community was festered by 26 bishops the House of Lords- Their votes liad generally, he contended, been in favour of the classes and agairiet the masses. Referring to too part taken by the Bishops in regard to certain question; in the past, lie went on to say that their notion in ralation to education and the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill ah-owod a spirit of narrowness. He thought the instances he had cited should be sufficient to convince the unprejudiical that the clerical mind, schooled in dfogmatism. was quite unfitted for the govern- ment of our myriad minded people. Were the Bishops eliminated there would be a nearer a- iroach to equality as between the parties- MR ARONSON AND THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr Aronson, who was well received, said that the Government had been in office two years, and had sucoeeded in keeping their great majo- rity intact in spite of iatee piopiiecies to tne contrary. They ihad pa&ied bC-verai meae-urea. in- cluding the constitution of tine South African oolonaee, the suppression of the opium trade, the Trades Dispute Bill, Wotrkmc-a Compensa- tion Aot, Army and Navy economies; there were other things they had been unable to do, because they were a democratic Government with a hereditary legislative cha.uber, whioh was irioompata-ble. TILe House of Lords were nothing more or lass than a cliquish &ub-t>octioii of the Ibry party- They were an intolerable body who owed their position to an accident, who COUIQ1 imagine a Lord leading ins people in war at the present time, they paeterred to spend tlseir time in Paris and on tihe Rivieria- For twenty years, billl after bill had been sent up giving rights to Noncoruformists, only to be fcrustratod by the Lotrds. This country was the last among the European nations "0 adopt the Ballot Act owing to the House of Lorde- Nothing in the field of legislation could be done without their permission- The people of this country were democratic, the House of Com- mons was democratic, and he thought he would not be going too fair if he said that the Monarch himself was democratic- Thcire was only the small body of 600 Lords who were not democra- tic. It bad been said that tne ilouse of Lords wa3 necessary to check the House of Commons, I but he maintained that 600 men taken firom the streets could do the checking L'sIn(JI.36 just as weill the Lords, if not better. The difficulty was to know what to do with tlhem- He trusted that the suggiestiom to reform the House of Lords would not be supported as it was the most hopeless off tihe lot. Then as to abolishing the of Lords, they should carefully dis- tinguish between what was theoretically perfect and what was practically possible- It wap in a virgin state. He would say have no second chamber, because it was impossible to point to anything useful the House of Lard's had ever done. but it w&3 not in a virgin state- There were, therefore, insuperable difficulties such as vested inrere3ts, <1ivergBut opinions, etc- It would violate the first can-on of democracy if tho Government carried a reform which the majority of its supporters did not desire. A heme would have to be dleviaed1. which went as far as all progressive opinioRs went together and ensuring tha.t the will of the people should beccnte jaw—(applause),—that was the wise and courageous sonemue of the Government confer- ences and discussions, which, in t'he. end, allow- ed the people's wiM to prevail (cheers). That was a plan whioh would safeguard against revo- lutions, and if the Lordb were sincere patriots they should be the first to approve of the plan (applause)- A LENGTHY RESOLUTION. Dr. J. Spinthor James moved the following resolution:—That this meeting expresses its unabated confidence in Sir Henry Campbeli- Bttnne.im&n and his Cabinet, highly appreciates the several measures for social reforms whioh they have already carried into Law, being much gratified by the promise that a bill for the Dis- establishment of the Church of England in Waies is to have a plaoe in the Government programmo for th9 fourth session of the pro" sent Parliament, and hopes that ihe Licensing Bill of next year will contain veto clauses enabliug the people of Wales in their various looalliti to protect thenu9Ielv.cs from the evils of the Liquor trade, and greatly rejoices in the fact that the Government have obtained a scheme for curbing the power or the House of Lords to thwart the will of the people by mak- ing the electors of this oountry through their representatives in Parliament, supreme in de- termining the nature of the Bills which are to be submitted for the assent of the Crown- To carry out this great undertaking, the greatest tJhis a.ge has ween, the meeting pledges to the Government its unflinching support, trust- ing they will set to work determinodly and heroically, turning not to the right nor to the left until they set forth judgment into victory." Mr J. McMaster seoonaled the resolution, which was declarer carried unanimously- The Chairman proposed a vote c.f thanks to Mr Aronson, which was seconded by Rev. T. Lewia and carried- Upon the proposition of Mr Ralph Fisher, seconded by Mr Aronson, a vote of thanks was also aooorded Mr Wooqlhall for presiding.

LLANGYSTENIN PARISH COUNCIL. TYDDYN BRAN FOOTPATH. A meeting of the Llamgystenin Pariah Coun- cil was held to-d'ay week, when there were pre- sent Messrs D. Chvyd Griffith (chairman), H. W. Hughes, David Jones,, John Jones, and Joihn Williams, together with the Clerk (Mr T. E- Parry). PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE. A communication was received from the Col- wyn Bay Urban District Council stating that they were now in a position to proceed' tvith the erection of the proposed new footbridge over Afon Canol in Mochdre, provided the Parish Council were prepared to bear half cost, namely, £27 10s. and to enter into an agree- ment to bear half the cost of maintaining the bridge in repair from time to time- Upon the proposition of Mr David Jones, seconded' by Mr H- W- Hughes, it was decided to inform the Colwyn Bay Council that the Parish Council would contribute £27 10s to- wards the erection of tho proposed bridge, but that they could not see their way to enter into any further agreement. FOOTPATHS. Mr David Jones proposed that the attention of the Conway Corporation be called to the state of the Ma.rl Paddbck footpath. Mr Joihn Jones seconded, and it was carried. Mr John Jones called attention to the Tyddyn Bran footpath, whioh had been closed for about twelve months- He desired to know whether the Council could not take some steps to have the footpath re-opened. Whilst admitting that the path was not of much use, Mr Jones con- tended that if it was allowed to be closed1, it would form a precedent for the closing of others in tihe parish- The Clerk etat,ed that he had written to the Moatyn Estate Office pai the matter, and had received a reply from Mr G- A- Humphrey, stating that the footpath never been dedi- cated to the public. Mr Jdhn Jones maintained that the path had been in use for over fifty years to hia knowledge. The Chainmaa pointed out that inasmuch as the. path had not been dedicated to the public it was immaterial how long it had been in use. Mr Jonei eaid that he could produce living witneisses who remembered the path as a publio one for upwards of fifty or sixty years. The Clerk said that be had read of a foot- path having recently been closed after being in use for 800 years- It waa eventuality decided to write to the Motatyn Estate pointing out that the path had baftn In use for upward of half a oenfury, and asking that it might be re-opened.

In addition this issue contains "Corners" for naturalists, chess-players, and book-lovers, and sundry comic verses and short contributions, which combine to make a bright number that is woll illustrated throughout. -l iti » li'J.AUAL..J.N.t;" ior i\ovemoer is an eicep tionaiiy interesting number. Uoii, cricket, toot- vall, uycimg, snooung, cuo-huuting, etc., are all dealt vvitn in its pages, and naru to please in- deed must be the individual wiio does not derive both pleasure and instruction trom a perusal of tne same. One of tne most engrossing articles is that by L. Brindle on "The Romance of Tat- tersall's." E. H. D. Sewell contributes a topical article on "Kicking in the Rugby Game," which is illustrated with many photographs showing the right and the wrong way to kick the ball. This article should be of extreme value, as also should that by Mr C. B. Fry on "The Problem of fit- ness," in which much useful and valuable infor- mation is given, while another which is sure to attract attention is "Among the Cracks," a wittily written sketch dealing with the foibles of great golfers. Other articles are "Big Fishing Matches," by J. H. R. Bazley; "The Royal and Ancient Golf Club," by Henry Leach; "The Per- fect Sporting Gun," by Archibald Williams; "Confessions of a Poacher," a most absorbing article, by J. C. Bristow Noble. The fiction is fully up to the usual high standard, and includes the following splendid complete stories, each in its way a gem, "Out Cubbing," by R. Ramsay; "A Real Good Thing," by G. E. Collins; "The Solitary Spectator," by D. Bevington; "The Plunger," by Bertram Crisp; and "Firmin: A Sketch," by Bertram Atkey. Perhaps the most outstanding narrative in the November "WIDE WCULD MAGAZINE" is "The Shirt of Death," by Mr Harry de Windt. In this story the famous explorer describes a weird and thrilling experience which befell him some years ago. One of those fascinating and out-ot-the- ordinary records of journeys in unknown lands for which the "Wide World" is famous com- mences in this issue under the title of "Through the Heart of China: From Burma to Shanghai." The text is most interesting and the photographs are decidedly impressive. Next comes "The Romance of the Weather Plant," a description of an uncanny growth which, according to its dis- coverer, foretells the state of the weather months in advance! A station for observation purposes has recently been established at Denmark Hill, in the scth-east of London. "The Nameless Island" is a "creepy" story from the Philippines, while in "Why I was not murdered" Mr G. R. O'Reilly tells an amusing story of an adventure in Spain. Half a score of other contributions, all excellent, make up a fine number-the very thing for the fireside easy-chair.

VOLUNTEER PRIZE DISTRIBUTION AT HOLYWELL. Yesterday week, at Holywell, Lord Mostyn dis- tributed prizes for shooting and drill attendance to the members of the local company of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. His lordship was accompanied by his eldest son, Mr Edward Mostyn, who holds a commission in the Irish Guards. Lord Mostyn said that all in- terested in the Volunteer question must welcome the measure of army reform so lately brought in by Mr Haldane. There was a time when the Volunteers were "starved"—looked down upon and not encouraged.

They would be no longer "Volunteers," but they would rejoice in the name of "The Terri- torial Army," and he felt sure they would be proud of that title.
