------PRACTICE MATCH AT BANGOR.
PRACTICE MATCH AT BANGOR. IN AID OF THE NURSING INSTITUTE. -7 z6n M-o first ganie of the oa, at Barigor Qn Saturday t.o:l{ the form of a practice match, and the p roe ceils went in aid of the Bangor Nursill", Institute. The committee gave a trial to several new players, but it must be confessed that the game was a very disappointing one. The new talent, especially the imported section, did not come up to anticipation, and if Saturday's form be any criterion of the rC;],1 abilities of the players, Bangor will occupy its usual lowly position on the Combination chart. Of course, the players suffered from the lack of practice, øo much so that one of them, Bcb Roberts re- tired after the interval. W. Brown waa also disabled and D. T. Davies also -ut his knee out of place—a very unfortunate occurrence, as Bangor can ill spare so excellent a half back. T. Ireland should find his way into the Combination team. His pla-y improved as the ga,t-ie progressed, and he is ovidently a worker with judgment. Hughie Owen was the star performer. The Blues won by four goals to nil. The teams were:- Reds: Gillett (Bethesda); T. Ireland (Wind- sor), and W. Brown (Bangor Amateur*); T. A. Griffith, Aaron Jones, and D. T. Davies; Simp- son, Bradshaw, Camp! ell, L!ew. Pritchard, and Oliver. Blues?: H. R. Williams; J. D. Thomas and Bob Roberts; W. Jones (Glanadda), Alf. Thomas, and J. Owen (Y.M.C.A.); W. E. Jones ('Varsity), Telford (Rootle Celts), Hughie Owen, H. J. Davios, and R. T. Jones.

PRACTICE MATCH AT COLWVN BAY. The "skippers-v of the first and second teanis &t Colwyn Bay, T. McCann and H. Toman, chose sidts for a piactioe match on the Khoa ground on Saturday, ami, though the play was nlueii like that witnessed on similar occasions before, there was something about the game winch made one feel that out ot the twenty- two men on the held, the committee should be able to select a side as capable in e.ery respect as any who have worn tuoe town colours. The weather was favourable, and the krge dro-vd of si>ectators augured wcli for the s*a- son. At half-time McCann'a side led by a goal to nil, but in the second moiety Tonkin's men as- serted a decided superiority, and won by three fcoals to one. rl be game revealed a numuer of excingly projilsng rc-cruits. Chief amongst tl.era vvas Harold 1 on kin, who not only marshalled his men well, but gave a really Stirling display at back. Indeed, his exhibition in that depart- ment was second to few seen on the Rhus venue during recent years. He tackled like a veteran and kicked with rare power and judgment. He held J. LI. Owen, with the exception of one or two occasions, right through the match, a no in--an feat considering Owen's superior speed. Tonkin has undoubtedly won a. place in the first team. Bort. Dicken and J. Roberts, who rilayed in goal at either end, also gave most, credit able dis- piavi. Tho f(-rmer was particularly z-rt in pickin,- up, anci al-?-av,3 e(ILial t-o a .-udden (,all. ,erts tlio fielded di?ed the ball RoF aii,l hall skilfully.

CONNAH'S QUAY v. WELSHPOOL.…
CONNAH'S QUAY v. WELSHPOOL. The match between Connah's Quay andWelsh- pool on Saturday proved a fairly equal en- counter, though the former bagged a brace of points by a four to two victory. The opening of the season finds Welshpool with a far bet- ter team than they had at any time last sea- Sol). but they certainly want a little training. I ID With that they should quite h-olu their own m the G iaaticn. Connah's Quay fa awtalthkr club arci i?m in this N,,car a rctni which will gal I probably carry thorn .scm-. vvh-.re near the top Of the League table at the end of t,, o Season. Welshpool won the IOSS, and playing with the sJope in the first half had perhaps slightly the better (of. the exchanges. Mi chell -wm certainly the pick of the visiting forwards, and it was through him that Welshpool drew first bloc?d.

MOLD v. CONNAH'S OUAY. M< Id opened their spason with a match against Connah's Quay. played at Mold in fair weather. Both dubs are in the Chester and District League. Mold won the toss and decided to play downhill in favour of the wind. J. Millington scored the only goal for Moid, who won by one goal to nil. Macfarlane showed up well for Mold. Connah's Quay played an excellent defensive game, but proved uselegn in fr int of goal.
CONWAY FOOTBALL CLUB.
CONWAY FOOTBALL CLUB. THE FINANCIAL POSITION. For some time past, the finances of the Conway Football Club have not been in a very flourishing condition, and a public meeting was held on Friday evening at the Guild Hall with the object of trying to place matters on a firm basis. Mr Robert Jones presided over a large attendance. The late secretary, Mr Roberts, submitted the balance-sheet for last year, from which it ap- peared that the total receipts amounted to £ 44 13fl, whilst the expenditure amounted to £ 50 10s, thus leaving a deficit of L5 17s. This deficit the money received from the Volunteers teams camp- ing on the Morfa, for the use of the ground, had reduced to about C2 10s. On the proposal of Mr R. Wilson, seconded by Mr Robert Davies, the balance-sheet was adopted. The Chairman then proceeded to take the opinion of the meeting as to whether the team should be carried on again this years. If they bad won a cup once, he did not see why they could not do so again. -U-r)<)n a vote be'n.- taken, it was unanimously deci?ed to carry on the team, and the following committee was anpointed:-Messr.9 Robert Jones, 'j. Wd ,Iwai-k, Rc??ert Roberts, Tlionias Edwards, Alf. Green, William Parry, Rowland Lewis, Henry Lloyd (Plas Mawr), J. E. Jones (jun.), Deganwy; Robert Davies, Geo. Owen, and Owen Jones; R. Wilson to take on the duties of secre- tary pro.-tem. Mr Henry Lloyd (Oak Dene) was appointed president, and it was decided to refer to the committee the matter of appointing a chair- man, secretary, and treasurer.

BLETCHLEY v NORTH STAFFORD.
BLETCHLEY v NORTH STAFFORD. FINAL FOR THE L. AXD N. W. R. OFFICERS' CHALLENGE CUP. The final for the London a.nd North-Western Rail- way Officers' Challenge Cup wa; played on the Llan- dudno eiicket ground on Saturday, North Stafford and Bletchlcy being the teams qualified to enter the final tie this year. Th. re was a good attendance, the w> ather being boisterous, thcegh fine. Bletehley having won the tcss, decided to bat first, Drinkwater and Vince opened the innings, the part- nership, however, being severed at twenty. Through out the innings the scoring was low, there being no fewer than three "ducks," and four who failed to improve on their one run. When the lx-t of the Bletchley eleven was dismissed the total was only 49. When the men from N irth Staff rd opened their innings, it appeared as though they were going to fare even worse, for their first wicket stand only brought eight runs. Grainger, however, improved matters by putting on another ten, and after Mason had been sent pavilionwards for two, l'aylor took his .,tand at the wickets, and early began to punish the B1 tenley bowling. Williams put on another five, and then was caught. He was succeeded by Dunstan. Taylor carried his bat for 26, and Dunstan for one, the innings being declared for 33 for six wickets. The scores were as follows — P.T.ETn I LEY. Drinkwater (ten.) b Grui iger 3 Vince b Eva:i; 17 F.

PEARSON'S MAGAZINE."—Tho Septem- ber "Pearson's," while retaining its usual number of bright and popular articles, contains many complete stories of exceptional interest. Those of the Stranieigh series are still continued, and in a third escapade, entitled "Respect the Law," Mr Robert Barr's hero comes into conflict with a country district council, who do all in their power to humble a "real lord." Barry Pain provides another humorous sketch, in which "Ida Pym- shaw," the myth of an eccentric experimentalist, plavs' an amusing part. "Queen Vaiti," Miss Beatrice Grimshaw's heroine, meets her fate in '•The Tale of the Last Voyage," in whici the notorious pirate ship, "Sybil, comes to an end worthy of her former chequered career. A com- plete story by Mr II. B. Marriott Watson, entitled "Sancho Panza," deals with the exciting adventures of Richard Ryder, gentleman of the road, otherwise known as "Galloping Dick." Nature articles, written in the narrative style of Mr S. L. Bensusan, are always popular features, and "The Life Story of the Golden Eagle" is t pical of his entertaining work. An intiniate I ;??ara,eter sketch of onl c e of our -reatest living actors, Mr Beerbohm Tree, by Mr Raymond Blathwayt, provides many amusing anecdotes, and gives an insight into the strenuous life of Mr Tree. One has always a dread when picking mushrooms that one will inadvertently be poisoned through plucking a toadstool by mis- take. All these doubts are laid at rest by Mr Edward Step, F.L.S., who, in an article, "Shall We Eat Toadstools?" not only guards us against death by poisoning, but describes many kinds of edible toadstools.

The course is a very interest- ing one, s:f'iound-ed by picturesque mountain and QUast. scenery, and lies for the most part over excellent turf on a sandy subsoil. It is, however, not easy for ladies to rluy over, and the natural hazards and bunkers add to its soortins character. After the morning round on Tuesdu.v treneral satisfaction with the coulrsc -on waa art,?i its con-diti pressecl, an4 i,n the afternoon, wh,xi l?u--avy raiii ?Nas fitil'?ng, proof wa.s v' N-en of the ground's porous nature. The .full course of eighteen holes was played over, exeeof. that the third and tenth were shortened a little. Last week's rain has made the gTeens firm and true to play on. The bogey, 86, is cou- sid-erc-I fairly fevore for ladies. Mr W. Yickers, the Carnai vons;iirj Club's professional, is offioi- atinc ;ts starter. Constituting the Executive Committee, the following are the stewards 'having controB of t'he arrangements:—Dr. Pennewan (Liverpool;, Mrs Ashley Bind (Pe-nartli), Miss Bketherton (Abersavennv). Mrs E.

Burkewocd (Conway),Miss Duncan (Southerndown), and Mrs M'Call (hon. sec. and ti'e-s::rer)- Since last year a new qualifi- cation, has been added to the championship events. Up to tlvs yca/r the. competitions were only onen to ladies who have been born in Wales or have lived in Wales for a period of two years, but now players may compete who have Welsh fathers. On Tuesday the competition for the Rhyl cup took nlacc. and the first round in the team che.rntj:<r,.siin was ulaved as well as the handi- cap for tho Swansea Bav cup. RHYL CUP. This was niaved in dull weather and under fine conditions for t,)cd golf, the wind having disaoneared iust before the start. The first returrned was t'hat bv Miss Lloyd Roberts (oius 2). whose srame was the finest of the morn- ing". She went out ith 41, and finished in 88. leaviii2- her one hole dow.n. She played a little unsteadily in last eight holes. Mi-s Duncan and Mrs Ell's Griffith (tho wife üf. this member for Ang'osey) tied for first r>r:ze. MLSS Duncan playod a fine game, as her handicap indicates. To go round equal to bogey is a considerable feat. Mrs Ellis Griffith also played finely up to tho fifteenth hole where she stood 4 up, but the sixteenth and seventeenth, beinsr long holes, proved disas- trous- Hittinz a lone low ball in the last, it was bunkered, and in attempting to play !:e(r second stroke hisrh she rot under the bail too much, a.nd it only went a few yards. It took four strokes to reach the green, and sho ho!d o.it in six. In playing off the tie Mts Du.n crtn returned a card all square, while Mrs Ellis Griffith was six down.

BALA LAKE AND RIVERS.-T,ie river has been in order most of the week, but on Tuesday there was another flood, when tho Dee and Tryweryn were over their banks. They are at present in order, both for salmon and trout. On Thurdav in last week Mr R. J. L. Price took a salmon of 10 lb. on theUpper Dee and en Friday Mr T. H. Roberts one of 10 I". on the Tryweryn Flats, while several good baskets of trout have also been made on Sir Watkin's waterts. The lake i3 high.—Tegid. DEE (Corwen District).—There was a heavy fall of rain at the end of laet week, and the river has been in flood since, keeping too high for salmon to remain in the pool, and consequently only a few fish have been taken, Mr Pereival being the most successful, landing three, of 10 lb., 91b., and 61b., on the 29th. Several good trout have been caught chiefly with the natural minnow, and a few sea trout have also been taken. Rain is again falling to-day, which will cause the river to rise again, and not "much will be done until the beginning of nr-xt week.-S. W. (Sept.3). J

OLD COLWYN SPORTS. A SERIES OF INTERESTING EVENT&. COMPLETE LIST OF AWARDS. The fourth annual athletic sports promoted by the Old Oolwyri Young Men's Club were held by the kind permission of the Rev. H. E. Mocatta, M.A., and Mr E. Jonee-Hughes, in Minydon Park on Saturday. The ground! and their surroundings were delightful in .,iLt-titt-on and aiid, tliotigii the gras,?- trac? lad been ?ofnewriat ro,igiii? ?!rr?Uig(-d in re- spect to corners, its suriace was iairly good, while tlLe streteu prepared for foot-racing was altogetuer sa tisfae! ory. The weather wv bright and bracing and a large attendance witnes ed a series of most interesting events. Apart from an accident in the novice race to two or three riders who misjudged a corner of the track, noth ing marred the proceedings in any way, and happily, even that proved to be more of an incident than an accident for no one was seriously injured. Mr T. H. Ander.on, the secretary and organiser, is to be congra- tulated. upon the smoothness with which the whole programme was gone through. The other officials were :-Rev. John Griffiths (Vicar), Treasurer; Mr W. P. Whitley, marker; Mr Pritchard (N. and P. Bank); Mr Morton, and Mr W. Catlow, Judges; Mr Jones (N and P. Bank, Colwyn Bay), Marksman. The Old Oolwyn Silver Band were in attendance, and rendered a suitable programme of init-de. The first event of the afternoon was the 120 yards open handicap, for a iyize of silver salad bowl with a silver egg stand for yne second, a silver medal for the third. Some fine and exceedingly close running was witnessed in thx, event. The final was run by eight men, Eo 11. Williams, of Abergele, breaking the tape all easy first. For second place, however, three men came in a dead heat, namely, Burbage, Pritchard and J. Thomas. These three ran again, and so close was the running that it appeared as though the latter two were again on level terms, but the judges de- clared Burbage, 2nd, and J. Thomas, Jrd. The one mile novicebicyde race was the next event, with a silv(r cup as first prize. In the first heat., Robert Davies of Llysfaen, and G. Morris, Pen- machno, fell, but Davies mounted another cycle and came in fird. The second licat was the best of the five heats, all the competitors being very close, while there was only a matter of inches between the first and second men. Considerable enthusiasm prevailed over the final, particularly as the last two laps were covered. J. Williajns, of Gaerwen, led well, but was passed occasionly by Foulkes, of Brynrefail, and after a hard fought struggle, ran home first, only to find oil alighting that he was disqualified because his name had not been properly ent:red on tho programme. Under the circumstancs the first prize fell to W. Foulkes, W. B. Lloyd. being 2nd, and Robert Davies, 3rd. In the 220 j d*. open, there wore three heats, which were well contested, ind the final was won by P.O. Barbuge, Birmingham; R. Jones, Tensarn being 2nd, and E. H. Williams third. The open one mile bicycle handicap was undoubt- edly the most exciting of the whole programme. The race was ran in three heats, with first and second to run in final. 1. Roberts and Bob Edwards were the winners of the first heat. Ted Williams and Jack ^vans of tho second heat, and R. Roberts and J. Williams of the third heat. At the last lap of the final excitement was intense and the crowd <. hoc-red loudly as J. Evans, Glanconway, forged ahead, just b ating I. Roberts by half a length. In putting the shot the first prize was won by .T. Pardon, who covered 27-ft et 4-inches; -vhile J Fllic took- second with 27-fcet 2-inches, and C. J. Roberts third with 23-feet 8-inches. There were two heats in the 440 yards flat with three men to run in the final. J. D. Junes (post- man), Conway, was first in the first hea-t, and L. Wil- liams IM-fc in the second. In the final, J. D. Jones, Conway, beat his man well, W. Hughes, Llvsfaen, taking second, and L. Williams, of Menai Bridge^ third. The running in this event was very good. In the pole jump, J. Edgar, of Denbigh, gave an effective display, taking first place with 7-feet 11- inches; while P.C. R. H. Owen, cleared 7-feet 8- inches, and W. E. Owens, 7-feet 2-inches. The long jump was won by E. H. Williams, of Ab- wiio covered nearly 19-feet; while P.C. Owen wa* second with M-feet 11-inches, and W. E. Owens third with 16-feef 2-inches. Great interest centered in the mile flat race for which there were 18 competitors. At the third lap, W Davies, of Abergele, was leading with C. Davies and W. Broolies, Llandudno, in close attendance. W. Brookes then forced his way ahead, while L. Wil- liams came up second. The fifth lap saw BrockeA still leading, while C. Davies had recovered the sec- ond position. In the last round, however, Williams brought off a splendid spurt passing both Brookru and Davies, who followed him to the tape in the order mentioned. The two miles bicycle race was the last event. The heats had been run previous to the mile flat and left 7 men to contest the final. For the 'first four laps J. B. Burns, of Rhyl, led the van, with J. Evans "mu distance .behind. At the eighth lap J. Evans, of Conway, was well ahead, and O. Meredith, Llandudno doing w 11 in (he second pie.ee. Evans made the pace for the next four laps, with Meredith second and Ted Wiliiams and 1. Roberts t!iird. The racing was keen, and at the close there were two dead heats. J. Evans and Meredith sharing first honours, and Wiiliams and Robertn second. The men mutually agreed to share the prizes thus:—1, J. Evans; 2, C. Mere-iith 3, T. Williams and I. Roberts sharing. Mrs K. M)katta afterwards very kindly consented to distribute the prizes. Appended is a detailed 1st of the events:- THE AWARDS. 120 YARDS' HANDICAP.—Heat 1 W. Jones, Mos- tyn, and D. liurlitg, Towyn.

RHUDDLAN MINIATURE RIFLE CLUB.
RHUDDLAN MINIATURE RIFLE CLUB. AN APPEAL BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT. Miniature Rifle Clubs are gradually securing a fcot- ing in tho Vale of Clwyd. A few months ago .1 ^ei-y iina range was opened in St. Asaph, and immediately afterwards a movement was set on foot for &ece..mg similar facilities in the ancient town of Rhuddlan, but several months elapsed betorc anything of a f}"tlro.te ehareter was decided upon. However,. Mrs Rowley Conwy, with characteristic generosity, came forward and very kindly placed the court yard of the ancient castle at the service of the club, which la been culy formed. The range was opened on Saturday by Mr H. R. Hughes of Jviumcl, Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire, in the presence of a large assembly, great interest being taken in the newly-formed club. Among thofie present were Lieut-Col. Hughes, the Misbcs Hughes, Mrs Rowley. Conwy, Col. Parry, D.S.O., Mrs and Miss Parry, I'engwern Hall; Col. Howard, C.8. and Mns Howard, Col. Johnson, Mr and Mrs Aitken, Bodeiwyddan Hall; Mr Ilarold Edwards, Conservative candidate for Flintshire Mr W. Conwy Bell, J.P. (chairman of the committee); Mr R. C. Enyun, J.P., and Miss Enyon, the Rev. T. W. Vaughan, vicar of Rhuddlan; Miss M. Pryce, Miss E. Pryce, of the Deanery, St. Asaph Mr R. C Thom- son, Sergt. W. Bell (secretary); Sergt. Major Olfield, Supt. of Shootirg; Sergt. Major Junes, Supt. of the St. Asaph Club; Mr Myers, secretary of St. Asaph Club; Mr J. P. Jones, Mr Frank Parrv, Mr Barnes, Miss Bell, Miss Myeri Mr D. C. Johnston, Mr A. Barnett, Mr W. Jones, and Mr Robt. Wynne. The guests were accommodated on a specially erected platform, and the arrangements were admir- ably carried out by the committee, under the direc- tion of Mr Conwy Bell. Mr Conwy Bell, in asking the Lord Lieutenant to open the range, said he regretted the abscnce of the president, Lieut. Rowley Conwy, who was abroad with his regiment. He had been instructed by the committee to thank Mrs Rowley Conwy for the great interest f>ha had evinced in tho formation of the club. She had not only allowed them ta erect that capital range in the castle grounds, but had also placed facilites for an in-door range at their disposal in the town (hear, hear). In fact, Mrs Conwy had generously done everything they had asked her to do (applause). Although they started the movement in October last they had only three weeks ago received the necessary certificate from the War Office. The military gentlemen who had eomij experience of the War Office, perhaps, would not be surprised at that statement) (laughter). The club hoped to present a bold front, .but they could not carry on the movement unless they recieved ample public support. They felt, however, that the club was going to be a suc- cess, and he appealed to the young men of the dis- trict to make it so (applause). •;

CONWAY RUNNER IN AMERICA.
CONWAY RUNNER IN AMERICA. PERCY SMALLWOOD'S SUCCESS. A CHALLENGE TO WELSHMEN. Percy Sniallwood, who left Conway a few years ago for America, has made a very credit- able reputation in the United States as a long distance runner. His most notable victories have been reported in the "Pioneer" irom ume to time, and to them must be added very smart wins brought oil oh the 15th ujt. at Philadelphia. In the first case he beat Michael Spring, the Boston crack, and Janiics ourran, of Scotland. The "North American," in reporting the sports —M'hicb, by the way. attracted 20,u\J0 persolls- states: athletes who attracted consider- able attention were Thomoa (?) Small wood, oI the New York Athletic Club, who hniahed sec- ond in the Marathon race at Athen.3 in 1906, and Alan Nash, the noted Indian athlete. Sniailwood won the one-mile run yesterday af- ternoon in the good timo of 4.58 1-5, consider- ing the condition of the track, while Nash fin- ished second." According to the same issue ot that journal, Percy ran on the same day in another athletio contest, covering the nÚlo in 4min. 16 2:5secs., easily beating Curran. In this connection, it will b) noted with interest that the British amateur record is 4min. 16 4-5secs., established b.y J. Biriks at Starnfox-d Bridge Oil July 5t]-], a prof 1902, '9.0 t,bat Pe-rey, who is iiov essional, can do b,tter llilli any alillateur Britain can pr,)- DLLOO t?)-?ay, 11-o is f reely caricatured in the American press. A CHALLENGE. For the time, being Percy is travelling through the States with Alfred Shrubb, the world's champion, competing with him at all meets. Shrubb has formally entered Smallwood for the Mara,thon race, promoted for professionals in London on October 10th. Percy has already competed in races of four hours duration, and believes he has an excellent chance to capture the ra,ce which will probably be run over the course used by the Olympio runners. Writing to the "Pioneer," Percy itat-es: "I shall be sailing for Live-rpool two weeks be- fore the race. If you could fix a race for ma while I am over in Britain, I shall be pleased to run anyone anywhere in North Wales be- fore I 00nio back to An erica again. I am open to race anyone any distance from one to ten miles, and shall be very glad to arrange a meeting." Before Smallwood left Wales he found two or three men in this part of the Principality who could hustle him vigorously, and it would be interesting to see what they could do with him now.

"AUNT KATE'S BOOK OF EMBROID- ERY."—The phenomenal success which has at- tended the publication of ''Aunt Kate's Knit- ting and Crochet Book" (already passed through several editions), and "Home Work," has sug- gested the advisability of preparing a compan- ion handbook dealing exclusively with em- broidery and fancy articles. The field is a very wide one, but numerous illustrations and des- criptions of the most effective and popuJar of embroidery stitches are given in this new jour- nal published by John Leng and Co., Ltd., along with sufficient indication of how ribbon work, shadow work, drawn bhread work, can- vas work, rug making, and similar phases of needlework may be accomplished, as would set a beginner in these arts agoing. In addition to the above, the woman who works for bazaars, and she who loves to present her friends with acceptable gifts of her own handi- work, will be delighted with the wealth and variety of suggestions in this section, as well as with the descriptions and illustrations of handkerchief novelties, and with the dainty and in-expensive offerings of King Baby. The book is a splendid pennyworth, and cannot fail to interest and please Avery w4rnian who is de- voted to her nOOd

RHUDDLAN MINIATURE RIFLE CLUB.
IV- ,A STEP IN THE RlnllT DIRECTION. 7?o. Lord Lieut? tliemi fued ti)e lirst shot, and after eviariilg Liie rai;ge ol,en, reiiiarke?i that the estab- d t I lisblnent of E?uch a club was a stop in the right directi?)ii. It wL,.i extremely dei?irable that simiiar clubs should be established in every district in the country, and that all boys should be drilied at school and taught how to Phoot, to enable them to assist in the defence of their oountry if called upon. Some people were. disposed to laugh at such range, and describe them a« toys. There was no reason why they should be treated as playthings, but they should he treated seriously, for shooting should form part of one's primary education so that, as their ancestors excelled with the long bow, thry should be able to excel with the rifle, and if any national emergency aroee, they would not be caught napping. He hoped the club would meet with liberal support from the district, and with all his heart he wished it every success (applause). Col. Howard, C.B., in moving a vote -)f thanks, said, they were all aware of the great interest taken by the Lord Lieutenant in the defence of their coun- try as chairman of the Territorial Association. He (the speaker) was one of those people who thought that every man should do something for his country. Ha had "be en doing something for his country for thirty- five years, and he was still able to go on (hear, hear). He hoped that the youth of Rhuddlan would come forward to join the club. The subscription was only two shillings, and this could not be regarded as very much. Shooting was one of the essentials of modern warfare-. They should all be able to shoot well, to enable them to def."«U their country against an in- vasion by any fi.reign power. If they Were not pre- pared for invasion, some other nation might be iri- duced to attack the Empire at any time, (applause). The Rev. T. W. Vati-ghan, in seconding, said he was sure that everyone realised the Lord Lieutenant s tremendous responsibilities in connection with the new Army scheme. The safety of the homes of tne inhabitants of Flintshire had been placed in his keeping, and judging from the excellent upe ch the Lord Lieutenant had just made the way that he had acted on that and all other occasions, they could be quite sure that their lives and property were safe in his keeping (hear, hear). He would like to endorse what had been said as to the success of the club and sincerely hoped that the young men of Rhuddlan would rally round it and make it a great success (appIf;use). The Lord Lieutenant, in acknowledging the vote, pointed out that their own battalion was not up to full strength, and hoped that the young men of the dis- trict would- do their best to bring it up to its former standard. On the motion of Mr Conwy Bell, another vote of thanks were accorded to outside friends, more esi eeially Mr Myers, the secretary, and Sergeant Major Jeines. Supt. of the St. Asaph club, for the in- vnlnable assistance they had rendered in the floatiitg of the club. Mrs Rowly Conwy and Mrs Parry then fired shots, buth scoring bulls, eliciting hearty applause thereby. COMPETITIONS.
