COWLYD WATER BOARD. THE NEW MAIN. The monthly meeting of the above Board was held at Conway on Friday afternoon. Mr J. Dicken (chairman) presided, and there were also present: Dr. R. Arthur Prichard (Mayor of Conway), Messrs J. W. Raynes, Rogers Jones, Hugh Owen, A. G. Rogers, Hugh Hughes, David Gamble, and Dr. J. Morgan, with the Clerk (Mr T. E. Parry), and the Engineer (Mr T. B. Far- ringtor). Mr R. S. Chamberlain, the Board's legal adviser waa also in attendance. d I. FINANCE. It. WJ.3 reported that there was a credit balance at the bank on the general account of L330 9s 4d, and on the loan account a debit balance of £ 18,989 7s 6d. THE RAINFALL. The engineer reported that the rainfall for the month of August was 7.10 inches, against 6.10 inches in the corresponding month in 1907, being a decrease of one inch. The rainfall to the end of the month was 46.29 inches against 39.30 inches for the same period of last year, being an increase of 6.99 inches. The lake was below overflow level during the whole of the month, the maxi- mum being 13 inches on the 21st. Rain fell on 16 days against 18 days in the same month of last year. Mr W. W halley, the waterman, reported that during the past few days the lake had overflowed six inches. LLYSFAEN SUPPLY AGAIN DEFECTIVE. Referring to the report of the quantity of water registered in August by the deacon meters Mr J. W. Raynes pointed out that in the case of Llvstaen 55,000 gallons were registered in 1907 whilst m 1908 there were 86,800. This was a very big increase, yet there were portions of Llysfaen parish without water. There was a wastage somewhere, but thev had failed to find it out. The Engineer remarked that undoubtedly there was a wastage, and he had ordered the re- flux valve to be refixed as soon as possible. This would he!p them to rind whether it occurred in Ll vsfaen. rMAIN CONSTRUCTION DELAYED. The Engineer reported with reference to the new main which is to supply Coiwyn Bay with a rarger supply of water that owing to the heavy rainfall and floods there has been but little pro- gress made since the last meeting with the pipes in the river, but the contractors are now in a good position for pushing on with the work as soon as the weather is favourable. Excellent progress has been made with the laying of the 12-inch pipes through Dolgarrog Woods and about half the length of the pipes to be laid are now complete. Dr. Prichard: When was the contractors' time up? The Engineer: It was up about July 26th. The Mayor: Have we interfered in any way with the work? The Engineer: If we had had favourable weather and the circumstances had been favour- able the work would have been finished in time. No doubt, instead of attempting to do the work in eight months, we ought to have had two years. Owing to bad ground and bad weather it was impossible to complete the work under the cir- cumstances. The contractors are doing every- thing they can. The Mayor: We have had very good weather. The Engineer: There have been floods in the river, sir. CLAIM FROM A STEAMSHIP COMPANY'. The Engineer intimated that he had received a letter from the St. George's Steamship Company, claiming £ 40 for interference with their steamers' traffic. A claim had also been sent to the con- tractors as they did not know who were re- sponsible, both parties denying responsibility. In reply he had sent a letter saying he could not admit the liability of either the Board or con- tractors, as the work W8.3 being carried out with the sanction of the Board of Trade. He asked, however, that any claim should be left until the completion of the .work. LLANDUDNO CHARGES FOR WATER. The Board then went into committee to discuss the Llandudno Council's charges for water.

OLD COLWYN GIRI/S SAD END. CORONER'S REM ARKS Oft FIRE GUARDS. INQUEST AND VERDICT. A regrettable accident, which was attended with fatal results, occurred at Old Coiwyn at five o'clock, on Tuesday evening, last week, when Nellie Morris, the 13 year old daughter of Mr David Morris, of 19, Fairniount, Old Coiwyn, bricklayer, sustained severe injuries from burn- ing. She was conveyed to the Cottage Hospital, after receiving attention from Dr. Price Morris, but so badly was she burne-d that about three o'clock on Wednesday she passed away. INQUEST. On Th ursday morning Dr. J. R. Hughes, coroner for West Denbighshire, conductcd an in- quest on the body at the Assembly Rooms. Mr Frank Booth was chosen foreman of the jury. David Morris, father of the deceased, identified the body as that of his daughter Nellie, who, he said would have been 13 next Christmas. She was not insured. He had six children, but had lost noiia previously. He was not present when the accident occurred. William Morris, the seven year old brother of the deceased, who was the only witness of the accident, gave his evidence in a simple childish way. He said that his sister was standing on the fender, trying to get something off the man- telpiece. Shortly afterwards she ran out of the house with her clothes slightly on fire, but when she got out into the open-air the flames broke into a big blaze. Richard Elias, blacksmith, of 4, Fairmount, Old Colwyn, said he saw the little girl running from the house with her hands up and her clothes on fire. He jumped over the wall and caught hold of a niece of mat, which was on the floor, and ran after her. He threw her down, wrapped th? mat around her, and carried her to the house. She had been burned severely from the waist to the head. He then sent for the doctor. Dr. Price Morris said he found the deceased wrapped up in a kind of blanket. Her clothes evidently had been burnt off. She was very ex- tensively burnt over the whole of the from part of the body and the back, arms and face. no sent her to the Cottage Hospital, where he at- tended her, after dressing her at the house. He regarded the case as a hopeless one from the first owing to the extent of the burn3. T-Vorphia was given to her to ease her pain, and there was vomiting which was always a source of trouble in such cases. She-died as the result of collapse. > Coroner: Was the clothing of flannelette? P.C. Owen: No, sir; I examined it. The Coroner said he had no more evidence to call, and in summing up he said it was a great pity that parents did not provide fire guards, as their necessity was urged repeatedly. Had a fire guard been in existence in the present case the probabilities were that there would have been no accident. All lady visitors and every- body visiting the poorer classes should emphasise the necessity of fire guards. He personally be- lieved that in the case of parents who did not protect their children in that manner a penalty should be imposed and it was a pity that the law did not enforce it. After consulting with his colleagues the foreman of the jury said: We have agreed that it. was an accidental death. NVe all agree that the parents were not to blame. This was a kitchen fire, where a guard could not be used, as it was used for cooking. The jury wish to express sympathy with the parents.

DOCTOR WITNESSES GREAT ZAM-BUK CURE. THREE CHILDREN "DOWN" FOR 13 MONTHS. RINGWORM AND CATCHING SORES CURED. Mothers who recoenise what a fertile breed- ing round the Day Sohool is fer such "catch- ing'" diseases as ringworm, will do well to reed lucw Mrs (Rogers' three children got awfully aore heads, and how after 18 months' suffering were they cured, thanks alone to Zam-Buk. "Dolly, aged 7, oaime home one day and com- plained of 601118 itdhing pimples on her head; and soon the sores burst cut into nasty ring- worm," Mrs PO-g(--ls told a "Kettering Evening Telegraph" reporter who visited bar home—63, King-street, Kettering. "Soon George, ag\d 9, I and Freddy, aged 5, caught the complaint. It started in each case with little rod pimples, which sprang up aU over the sealp until the. I children's heads were covered witih them. Then I t,hese pimPles massed together and formed uglv rin gworms- One of the sore3 was four inches across. "The shildiren were always rubbing and scratching to ease the irritation, but this only aggravated the trouble. Then their iia I began tojfall out, and all three became quite bald- "The doctor said flie cases ivere very ob- stinate and would take months to cure. After trying in vam his spx-ial treatment, I took the dhildren to the hospital Here they wore nut under another kind of treatment to burn out the ringworm. But the- disease continued to spred't, and little lumps like boils came on Freddy's head. After 15 months' trying' I got qui;& dis- heartened. "At last I read of Zam-P.uk, and thinking ir there was something unusual about, 1'ie !xdm I got a box. After I had been using tthis rich balm a dav or two I noticed a decided improve- ment in all t'hree cases The ringworm a.nd sores did .not lock so angry The children themselves w,v-e brighter. Zam-Bilk soon be gan to kill the disease and dry the sores lift- A new healthy skin grew, t!he desire to scratch passed away, and as the scalp was made sweet- ened a nice orop of hair once .CIIore appeared on each of the children's Iheads "The Medical Officer pronounced all thrse children quite curcd. and they have been back at school for some time now, after an absence of nfar-lv 18 months. I can't say how tihankful I am to Zam-Buk, which did what all ordinary medicine was quite unable to do."

The Board of Trade labour memorandum states that employment in August was on the whole not so good as in July. As compared with a vear ago. employment in all the prin- cipal industries, excepting boot and shoe manu- facture, showed some doclino,

PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES. (3y "Veronica." ) THE SALON. This exhibition, which opened on the 11th, will be the main topic of tonver-afion amongst lovers of pictorial photography, and it certainly gives much scope for comment. Politically, it seems likely to t>e most important, for it sterna likely to lead to a drastic re-organisation of its own methods. Aa it stands, it is almost like a confession that America leads the world-tho rest nowhere—and I cannot think that British photographers will settle down to this verdict. Of the 20-3 picture's, eighty, or more than one- third, are contributed by four Aiii-c-ricam,- Alvin Langdon Coburn (21), Frank Eugene (10), Edouard Steiehen (39), and Clarence II. White (10); while four British workers are re- "pon51b1 for a further forty-three,—J. Craig Annan (10), Malcolm Arbunmot (3), Walter Benington (5), and the Baron de Meyer (20). The total number of exhibitors is forty-two, so that after deducting these eight men with large numbers, there are left- thirty-four exhibitors with eighty pictures, or an average of littla over two cach. A. IT. Blake, E. G. Boon, Mr and Mrs Cadby, Eustace I -illand, Reginald C'raigio, Charlos 11. L. Emanuel, Frederick II. Evans, Alexand-ar Keighlev, and Mrs Eva Wat- son Sehutze, are among it. those who are re- presented by only one print each. Of the seventy-five members of the Linked Ring, than one-third are to bo found in t he exhibition. THE WORK OF THE YEAR. As represented by the Salon, the output- of the year is very striking, and many of the pic- ture* may fairly be said to be magnificent achievements. But the representation is of a ¡' very partial and contracted field. Malcolm Ar- buthnot was Undoubtedly the strong man of last, year, and again he more than justifies the inclusion of eight of his prints. The Baron A. de Meyer has great variety and marvellous power in his big treatment of subjects which are generally quite commonplace, such a.9 flower and life and in his -iibtle treatment of portraits. J. Craig Annan is powerful and reposeful, with good, confident work that satis- fies those who wish for definition and detail, as well as these who admire only the sul>i-ier qualities. Walter Benington is in his strong'-r mood this year, and I think he is at his best when more tender. Coburn has some very great things—even for him,—and his aeries of aiitochromes Is full of interest. THE GREAT AMERICANS. Edoua-rd F. Steiehen, in his best, examples, is equal to almost his highest, achievement, but I don't think he has anything this year quite equal to his two or three finest works of the past, and a few are wall be-low his fair level. I refer only to his prints, not to the magnifi- cent autochroIreL Wri t,c, is vary welcome baek again, and fills his pictures with the old poetry and mystery while he do- operates with Alfred Stieglftz in the produc- tion of half a dozen studies that are somewhat puzzling at id not 50 satisfying as. his own work. Frank Eugene appears strikingly unequal, in- oluding two) or three commonplace efforts with half a doaen of freat interest. The same in- equality is notable in tho four printa by Joseph T. Keiiey. THE AUTOCHROMES. In this seo'i-on wonderful WSTK is shown. The riotous imagination of Edoua.rd J. S'eichen revels in weird and startling effects, which, however, convinoe one that he is the master and not! the slave of his mAthod. Whether we can fully appreciate his point of view or not, we can see that a strong individuality has con- trolled the work. The Baron de Meyer, while less bold, is even more fanciful, delicate and decorative, and some of his studies of Bowers a.nd objects-of-art will probably be the most popular and the most lastingly satisfactory of ail the autocliromes. 'Alvin Langdcn Coburn has a dozen portraits and landscapes, varied and very attractive; and the smaller exhibits by J. Craig- Annan and J. C. Warburg show that in autoehrcmy there is ample chance to display personality and individual feeling. SOME FOREIGN PHOTOGRAPHERS. M. Demaohy maintains his high level, with notes of uncertainty here and there. m lie. Laguarde has a small figure study and a land- scape quite worthy of her. Mrs Annie W. Brig man's pontic and dramatic power is quite individual, free, confident, and unforced, and her nudes in landscapes, "The Brook" and "The Thaw," a.re quite enjoyable. Rudolf Duhrkoop's three portrait studiea are at the Oê-3Y, of his style; Sidney Carter'3 "Kipling" is good work; and Mrs Eva Watson Schutze's "Anna Lisa" makej us regret that there is no.t more from the same source. Ernest. G. Boon's "Diabolo" is one of a mOJt interesting series of ossays in treating white translucent draperies in full sunlight. MULTI-COLOR GUMS. These great. experiments—great in more wraya than one, arc represented by a couple from the brothers Hofmeisfer, and a couple from H. W. Multer. They make one frel that. although they are intensely interesting, and were well worth their places, as experiments, a year or two ago, they must be modified enormously be- fore they will be really satisfactory pictures, and that until they are so modified they scarce- ly justify their continued inclusion in the shows. THE MINOR BRITISH WORKERS. It. seenki curious to class some of the nanro. to bo mentioned anon amongst those of "minor" workers, yet the .'electing committee has -rele- gated th"m to that category. Charles H. L. Emanuel's "Curiosity" is an attractive little ar- rang-ement of fitrurea against a sunlit wall. J. Dudley Johnston's two- city scenes are good and up-to-da.t.e. Mrs Caleb Keene has two fine virile portrait- studies of peasants, and Freder- ick II. Evans' single piece of architecture fills one with regret that there are not more. A. II. Blake, M.A., has only one print accepted, yet this year he has b,- cn prolific and very strong. Mr and Mrs Cadby have one print each, *>nd Miss Lilian E. Bland enters the Salon for the first time, with throe curious im- pressions of fighting cocks. E. Warner, Harold Jacob, Reginald Craigie, Eustace Call and, and Dr. Evershed, each have their one or two worthy works; Alexander Keighley, who has hitherto been strongly represented, and who has done much excellent work, this yea.r has only one print. Archibald Cochrane boldly plunging into the broadest "gum" offcct.s, hai four laro-e pictures hung, of which "Iloraes Drinking" and "The Lost Piece of Silver," are, equal to any- thing he has done, and quite amongst the great tilings of this present exhibition.

Mr David C. Cummings, genera! sccretarv of the Boilermakers' and Iron and Steel Ship- builders' Society, has resigned that position on j appointment to a p in the Labour Department of the Board of Trade. 0,

THE WELSH INDUSTRIES EXHIBITION. SATURDAY'S BUSINESS. EXHIBITION A FINANCIAL SUCCESS. The exhibition was opened on Saturday after- noon by Lady Naylor Leyland, of NantcUvyd, Ruthin, to whom a bouquet was presented by Miss Sara Marks, daughter of Mr James Marks, the honorary secretary. On the platform during the ceremony were Colonel H. Lloyd Mostvn, who presided, the Venerable Archdeacon Evans, Mrs Ilelme, Lady Wyndham-Quin, Miss Mary Hughes of Kin- rnel, Mr Marks, Mr W. H. Jones (chairman of the Council), and Mr Adey Wells. The Chairman said the exhibition had been an unqualified success. When the committee had paid their way out of the sum received for admission, the balance would be devoted to local charities (applause). They were all very much indebted to Lady Naylor Leyland, who had motored over from Nantelwyd that afternoon to declare the exhibition open. On three separate occasions she h".l lent her house in Londou for similar exhibitions, and owing to her interest and energy they had been very successful (applause). Lady Naylor Levland then declared the exhibi- tion open, saying she hoped the last, day would be as great a success as the preceding days had been (aonlau.se). SHOPPING AT HOME. Archdeacon Evans proposed a vote of thanks to the Lady of Nantelwyd, and went on to sug- gest that the Welsh people of all classes should do their shopping at home. The South Wales people should not go oil to Bristol and London, and the North Wales people to Chester and Liver- pool, when they wished to buy. There was plenty of everything to be found in Wales, quite up to anything' that could be found in England (applause). Why should Welsh people go to Hali- fax—(laughter) -and to Bradford for their linseys and wolseys, and their flannels and stockings, when they had plenty of the best of these things in Wales? (applause). He hoped that the ex- hibitions of the Association would have the effect of getting the Welsh people to patronise the in- dustries of their own country. The Archdeacon went on to say that there was one industry in Wales that they were in danger of losing, and that was the Welsh language and the industry it created. He had tried all the ladies in Welsh costume and tall hats by asking them the price of things in Welsh, and not half a dozen of them could give him an answer in that language (laughter). Let them remember the old language —the language, it was said, of the Garden of Eden (laughter). The very names of Abel and Cain showed that it existed in their day. The tall hat.s would not retain the language, but the Welsh brains underneath the tall hats would do it, if they would try (applause and laughter). Mr J. Adey Wells, who said he was a Saxon squatter of many years' standing in that delight- ful part of the Empire, seconded the vote of thanks, which was carried by acclamation. Mrs Helme moved a vote of thanks to Colonel Lloyd Mostyn and the other Llandudno friends who had shown such kindness and hospitality to the members of the Association during the week. Miss Mary Hughes seconded the motion, which was also carried amid applause. The sale was then proceeded with, Lady Naylor- Leyland setting the example by making a tour of the stalls. There was a good number pre- sent, and the attendance was well maintained un- til the close. The competitive section in the Council Cham- ber and the tearooms were under the charge of a band of ladies including the following:—Tea- room: Mrs Llewelyn Hughes, Rectory; Mrs Cliantrey, Alrs Stones, Mrs Roberts, Huyton; Mrs Timms, Mrs Shad. Roberts, Mrs James Smith, Mrs Brown, .Miss Jones, The Lounge; Miss Underwood, Miss Buckley, Miss Dee, and Misa Owen, Soho House. Council Chamber: Mrs James Marks. Mrs Ben. C. Jones, Miss Mary Lloyd, the Misses Roberts, Huyton; Miss Pemborton, Miss Dilvs Evans, Didsbury; and Miss Wright. The amount received at the door during the three days amounted to L103, and for the sales in the competitive section JE114. The net proceeds from the tearooms amounted to JE25, and the total sales at the county stalls were considered very satisfactory.

"THE SANITARY CON- SCIENCE." At Monday's meeting of the Ilolywell Dis- trict Sub-C-onimittee of the Flintshire Educa- tion Authority, the attendance officer reported an outbreak of whooping cough in the rural district of Rhesycae. Dr. J. H. Williams (Flint) said this empha- sised what he had said in another place as to the necessity of a "sanitary conscience" in Wales. Whooping oough was spread by par- ents allowing their infected children to mix with others.. The Rev. W. LI. Nicholas (Flint); Do you think this sanitary conscience will be quite as expensive to the district as the Nonconformist cr eien-oe ? iJr. Williams: Whatever the Nonconformist conscience is, it pays for itself. It is not paid for by others out of the national resources. Mr Lloyd-Price: Arc there such things as the "Nonconformist" conscience and the "sani- tary" oonccienee ? I doubt it very much. Rev. W. LI. I a.m sorry Dr. Oliver is not liere. It has pricked one. Dr. Williams: Pricked one coxcienc- Many more, I think. Mr Lloyd-Price: I think we should be acting conscientiously in proceeding with the business (laughter, and hear, hoar).

LARGE AMERICAN FACTORY FOR ENGLAND. The St-oli.

BOWLING. (Continuation of sports page.) BOWLING AT RHYL, A FAIR DISPLAY BY C'OLWTN BAT. On Saturday, tlie Coiwyn Bay bowlers journey;? to Rhyl for the purpose of playing the re-urn match with their rivals in the cast. Fortunately the weather was fine, and a shower in the morning had mad'* t. crown green sliglitly more heavy t ban it wouM other- wise have been, but it was too fast for the visitors, and as the day advanced they realised this. White the practice was oil tlwy were in trong hopes at being able to dome level with the home side, but the bright sunshine dried up what moisture there was in the morning, and the green was found to be very fast. Rhyl put on a very representative tram. By a strange coincidence tfte captains of the two teams Rhyl put on a very representative tram. By a strange coincidence the captains of the two teams were drawn against each other, and the game proved to be of an interesting character, the Rhyl captain (Mr J. l'ierce Lewis) just managing tv win his singles by 1 point. In the first, end the Rhyl captain secured 1, but. Mr Heap drew level with the second. After that for live ends he was off the jack each time, and when the seventh end was played, lie was found to be 1 to his opponent's 8. This i<>oked like a. very bad defeat, and ttie play was watched with much interest. However, on the eighth end, Mr Heap Sound the lay of the green, and there was no utopping him after that he won the next seven ends, with the result I that the score read, Mr 1-1.ap 10 and Mr J. l'scn.e I<ewi< 8, when the fourteenth end was decided. This caused excitement, but the fend hopes of the Bavitea were not to be realised, ^r lie HIJyl captain mol de three in the next two eiilqWaiiLl won by 11 t-o 10. In the next game. Mr H. Booth was drawn against an old and tried bowler, in the person of Mr W. L. Foster, who won bv 11 to 4. At the fifth end it seem- ed as if the Bay it e had found the lay, and his score was then 3—4, but he had little or no chance against his opponent, who won the game in 10 ends. Mr T. Jones was drawn against Mr W. Brewster, and in this lthyl had a decided advantage, for there is not a nbre consistent bowler on the green than their man, and he led easily, making S by the time he had reached five enj His opponent after t-hig managed to find the jack, a.nd for t.he next three ends added four to his score. However, putting on a 1 and a 2. Mr Jones brought the game to a close ou the tenth end. With such veterans or llr J. Aidnev and W. Feather- stone drawn against each other, a good game was to be expected in the next bout, but it was of a some- what one-sided character, the Ithyl player (who waa formerly captain of the club and has donn more to make the green what it is than anyone else), had a score of six in four ends, althouh Air Featherstono had wen the first end. Finding the jzwk on the fifth, the Bayite increased his score hv 2, and although his opponent won the next, Mr Fcaiiierstone got back to the jack in the next tlnoe, bringing his total up to 5, but it was an uphill fight. The Itlivi player wanted hut one to run out, and this he secured on the 12th end. One of the b xt matches of the day was that in which Mr W. CatIbw b at Mr W. J. Simcock by 11 to 9. The former found the jack at tiie first end, but he missed I the next, and recovered with a 2, on the thira. Again losing on the fourth he won the next two. thereby adding ,3 to his sc ire, and on tho sixth end the game was 5 all. Although he won his r-eventh, he went down in the next three, his <<p]>o»ent putting on two J at e.>ch end, so that when the tenth end was declared the lthyl player was leading by three points. This to influence Mr Cailow, for although his oppo- nent had 9, to his 6, he did not leave the gaine in doubt from this point, putting on three 2's in quick succession, and thereby -aved the Rayitrs from a clean defeat in the singles. He Won the only game for hit, side of the afternoon, and wus heartily congratulat d on his play. The secretary of the Rhyl club (Mr T. Clewley), who is au enthusias;ie official, was drawn against Mr U. Brooke, and he too had a very nice game, just managing to win 11 to 9. He le.1 from the start, and made 2 before lii.; opponent found the jack on the third eiid,an(I in the next three he managed to increato his lead by four, w that when the sixth end was de" clared the Bayite had a score of &-1 to face. Finding the jack, Mr Brooke put on a 2, but his opponent took tho next two ends, and increased his lead to 9. Then followed some exciting play, and very good bowling, Mr Brooke winning the next four ends, so that when there had been 13 ends bowled the ganJoO was 9 aH. It was therefore pu. ible for either player to will, but th" Rhyl secretary had the luck oa his side, and he put on a 1 aari followed this by 2. T!¡.o,' vice-< ax>tairi of the Rhyl club had is an opponent Mr Harry Evans, a bowler who has mad. his mark on the Coiwyn Bay grcon, but the latter did not shape very well on the fust ground, and his opponent led from the start beginning with a 2. Mr Evans drew level ou the second end, but af: er that tile game was with the Hhyl player, who out -if 1-3 ends managed to win 9. Mr E. J. Hudson found in Mr J. E. Oral ton an oppo- nent worthy of the reputation he has gained as a b >w!er, and the Rhyl player was leading by 5 before he found the jack. Then the Bayite won two ends, and after a reverse managed to get in oil another occasion, hut it was not until I h" eleventh end that there seemed to he any chance of Rhyl going down, the score then reading 8-7 in favour of Hhyl. Willi the next end Mr UrattuIl put on 1, but he lost the following two ends and at the 14-th the sore was 9 all. Alt-hough the Bay- ite had the jack his opponent managed to clinch mat- ten with a 2. It seemed as if Mr A. Stott meant to win his match against Mr J. O. Vaughan, as lie won the first two ends, and put on three 2's and a 1 in the fi:, t seven At the ninth he was leading 8—4, but after that the Rhyl player found his lay, and won the next three. Mr Stotfc managed to get in a 2 on the nth end, and was then leading by 10--9. but the Rhyl player with one of those luckv shots, which frequently decide a gome, su cec-ded in getting on a 2. With regard to the matt!li in which Mr E. E. Vaughan was drawn against Mr C. Hartley, the f irmer led from the .start, and he only hst three ends out of the dozen played, and at no time did there appear to be any hope of victory for the Bayite. The lead off between Mr J. E. John on and Mr W. Hodgkins was more promising. The latter was level on the third end, but after that he failed to find the jack, and the game ended in a will for the Ithvlite by 11 3. The other game of the singles was between Mr W. Gunner (one of Rhyl's best bowlers) and Mr J. P. ainwriglit, who at the start gave hit. opponent a nice game, the score on the fourth end being 3 all. After that there was a ciiiege of ground, and the next two ends went to the local man. Mr Wainwright found his I lay in the following two. But he had no further chance, and his opponent put on three 2's out of his four ends, and ran out victor" by 11-5. In the doubles the Rhyl plavers had nearly all their own way in the match between Messrs J. Pierce Lewis and W L. Foster against M*:srs Heap and Boot, the Bavites winning but two ends (1 each) in the first nine ends. They did manage to put on a 2 in the next, but they had no chance against a score of 11—4, and the match was decided on the 13th end. Messrs J. Aidney and T. Jones ran awav from Messrs Br,-wster and Feattone in their doubles, and had scored 10 before their opponents found the jack, but they lost the next three ends. and won the last. three. It t'oolc no less than 22 ends to decide the mict-h. Messrs Simcock and Oiewley versus Messrs Catlow and Brooke, the Bayite; leading up to the 14th end. when the score stood 9 all. It was anyone's match after that, and on the 21st end the game was 14 all, the Rhylites won the last, and t.hertbv maintained their position in the doubles. With two 4's ogeinst them in the first three ends, Messitj Evans and Hudson found their match against Messrs Wood and Grafton, anvt-liing but what thev could have desired, and th.iigh thev won the fourth and filth ends, they were onlv able to put on another 1, and the game closed on the ienth end with a score of 1-)—3 in favour of Rhyl. Messrs Hartley and Stott are to be congratulated on the play they put m against Messrs J. O. Vaughan and E. E. Vaughan in the dlmbles.

However, Mes-rs Vaughe.n changed the appear- ance of things by putting on a 4, and although they lost the next end by 1, t.hev went "ahead to the finish and on the llth and lath ends they scored eight. Messrs Hodgkins and Wainwright abo had zi liappv- lead in their double: with Messrs Johnson and Giumer and on the 11th end the game was 8 all, but from that point their opponents went on better, and out of three winning ends they scored eigh points.

This event for which Conway has Ion, since been famous has for some years past been gaining in popularity. Each year there has been an im- provement and the Market and Fairs Committee of the Conway Corporation, and their energetio secretary, Mr John Hughes, are untiring in their efforts to promote the success of the fa.it which this year attracted a larger number of entries than the previous year, whilst the ex- hibits also showed an improvement. In fact, in the opinion of an expert, it would be difficult to find anything finer in an English show. The committee were fortunate in securing as judga of the exhibits, Mr T. W. Jones, of the British Beekeepers' Association, and an ex-lecturer to the Denbighshire County Council. At the close 1 of the judging there waa a brisk demand for honey, which sold at Is to Is 6d per lb.
