CYCLING AND MOTOR I CYCLING. CycLe touring, it is constantly being re- iterated, is not so popular as it was a few yearn ago, and if the statement were true we should regret it. as no more enjoyable holi- day can be spent than in cxpkhring the shires awheel. Touring is so much easier than it ut,Ed to I)o--Ilghter machines, stouter tyres, and improved roads. With adequate equip- ment, every contingency can be provided against—everything except the weather. It is not too ea-rly to begin preparations for the Easter holidays—to map out the route, to overhaul the cycle, if the tourist dces not hap- pen to be the happy possessor of a new one, and even it requires adjustment to suit the rider. The Dunlop Rubber Co's. 1914 edition oi "All About Dunlop Tyres," which covers both t cycling and motor cycling, will be found helptfiil. It gives every necessary d-etail about tyres, the Pericles replacement cover, and ac- cessories, particularly the latter, and is specially strong on thoee required by power cyeliste. The booklet, which runs to 64 pages, ttJlld is well illustrated, may be obtained at any Dunlop depot by personal application or free by post.

STEEL IN BICYCLES. I It is really amazing the number of different materials used in the construction of the modern cycle; steel, rubber, canvas, leather, cotton-, etc., all being necessary to make up the complete whole. But it is the first which plays the m««t important part in nearly all mechanical contrivances and pieces of machinery. Just as the steel ship stucceedcd its wooden and iron predecessors, so the I all steel bicycle'' ha.s estaMiisihed. its position in the cycling world. The Raleigh Oxmipaaiy are fortunate in their trade description, express- ing a8 it does the acme of excellence both of material and workmanship. At too same time it must not be supposed for a single moment that a "Raleigh" is beyond the purse of the tba+, a is b7Ud me?delis the'iselves most humble TidCT. The models th?Tna?Ives very m price to suit the pocket, but the cheapest is itoelf a model of strength, light- ni ss, and reliability, the more expensive onea excelling chiefly in finish and additional im- I provenieaits. On more than one occasion visi- tors to the 1/ake District have noticed that a ma j oo-ity orf machines in use theno are Raleighs. This in itself iB a tribute to good workmanship, as the mountain roadte in that charming part of England demand the best if cycling is to be the safe and en joyable pastime it is in other less exacting ddirtriota.

BANGOR GOLFING NOTES. I We have been "stymied" by work; and silence is beet on such an occasion. < < Beeiidee, (his jLs not golfinig weather. Rain, hail, sleet and enow blown at one by a forty mile. an hour galo is a trifle too nmch. Wo preier to ctb and think about golf theis, days ratlvetr than to try and play it. However, we may console ourselves with tho fact that we do have occasional tine in Bangor. • • • • The golf eouree Î8 thoroughly sodden. Ijideed, we would suggest that if this wretched wwitlier continues the committee should cloao tha Imllks for two or three daye. The damage dome to soak,ed girca:n» by the mOISt fairy-like footeteps is very coneiderablo, and tho consequences seen and exporiicnoed for momthe af tew wardib. And we all know that go.fera' winier foot-wear is far from being light and dainty. Divots, too, arc so easily cut in the soft .ground, and every divot ia not replaced. We feel certain that all the members would admit the wisdom of 6topp.ing play when tho coarse ia really unfit. Still, it id but two days before spring makles lier official- de- but. We trust her bouquet, contains niany brig*ht trinny days: they will be very welcome to both the rnembers and the course of the Baoicror Golf Club.

Ujjfortunatcly this does not mean that sixty play- ers participated in the competition. The fact is that not inoi* thaii, twenty members took out carcfe. And the number of regular playing mem- bers runs well over the hundred'! It may inter- est eome of the long handicap players to know that eeverol of those possessing siinglo figure handicaps did Jlot patronise tho competition. So it is possible "to cirr in good couuMjiy." 0 t* Tho be.rt card in the competition was that of Mr (7. Vallanco—1 down. The hon. secretary, Mr W. A. Foster, was second—2 down.

Now. accordf- ing to the rules of golf. the guidc-poet "may be lifted" under eueh ciroumstanoes. But a solidly-planted po-st r-efti-scs "to be lifted." So we venture to offer another suggestion to our committee (who arc desirous of making the course thoroughly satisfactory in every way, andl who therefore welcome all suggestions and act upon thmn). (Not always.—Eld.). If the gti Ide-pooo are fixt-uree formulate a local rulo, e.g., "when stymied, within three yarde, by a guide-poet the ball may bo rifted and dropped at the 6id. j" or place all the guidle-posts in wooden socket*?, from whioh they can be easily lifted, according to tho rules of g(ylf.

We require some legislation, dealing with them. w w < < We remember eeeing a welt-known looal cleric make strenuous efforts to uproot an offending guide-poet at the 12th hole. Not being a Sam- son tho only result was much flurry ajid per- gpination and a bad foozle.

Waleo--aiiiot),gst tlvo.se members of our club who aro those countries' sons. An affirmative repiy to the question, "Have you any Scotch in you?" ia the qualifica- tion to represent the land of the th^tle.

The Biinilar ques- tion, "Have you any Welsh in Vou?:, is not put bccauso of the enormous amount of Welsh mutton devotwed loctiliy. In order to satiwfy -its to your qualification to play for Wales in this match you must bo able to say the first ver<e of the Welsh National Anthem backwards. Thxto attempts only permitted. » We have heard tho namen of the probable mem- bers of the two teams, and grcilt has been our surprise. But on this point we will eay more after t-lw match. We do not want to disqualify any of thoso "Scotchmen!" But they must have had astonishing pedigrees! Anyhow, for us it ie "{."yimu am byth." WHY NOT?

AMBULANCE COMPETITION AT LLANDUDNO. SMART WORK BY L. AND N.-W. RAIL. WAYMEN. The annual ambulance competitions of the Chester and Holyhead district of the London and North-Western Railway Company's employ- ees took place at the Town llall, Llandudno, on Wednesday, jn which nine teams competed for th-e hoinour of representing the Chester and North Wales district at- the final competition for the London and North-Western Railway Com- pany's ChaJiengo Shield, to be held at Manches- ter on April 1st. The present holders of tho shield are Wolverhampton Cooda Department team, and the team which, as a result of tho competitions at Llandudno, is to represent the Oheeter and North Wal es district will be Bangor Permanent Way Pepartmemt team. The judges were Colonel H. Jones Roberts, of Penygroes, and Dr. Slingshy Mann, of Rhos-on- Sea. Mr Thompson, tho District Superintend- ent, Chester, was in attendance. THE PRIZE-WINNERS. The teams were atlj inlged as follows :— 1. Bangor M itiaxks. 2. Chester Carriage Dept 23 3. Britannia Tubular Bridge 234 4. Ilolylicad 213 5. Chester-Shropshire Union 196 6.

Richard Pi vans, Nannerch. 2. Ch<. rl. « Evans, Denbigh. 3. Owen Williams, Moid. Tho pi'ze» were <li.stiibuted by Mr Thompson, who, in the coitrwo of » short addres-, saidl that the din ctors ttid the managers of tho company took a very great interest in the am bulance work of their employees. They WCTO always glad to -see tho excellent results of tho work of ainbu- lenco men whenever an accident occurred on the line, which was often the means of saving a. lifo (appluiuse). Ambulamee work was not very ex- citing in all its aspects, but it certainly made better men in many way.s of those who took an interest in it. Ho hoped the team who repre- sent tho Londwi and North-Western Railway Company at Belle Vile would show to even better advantaigo than they had dono at Llaaidudno (hear, hea.r). Dr. Jones Roberts, as otte of the judges, paid a well-merited tribute to the work of the men, especially the st-retcher work. Dr. Mann said it was gratifying to see such a splendid body of men mak ing a sa.crifioo in furtherance of 80 noble and humane a work. On the proposition of Mr Henry Nevitt, Llan- dudno Junction, a liearty vote of thanke was ac- corded Mr Thompson, and thanka were also voted the judges and the committee.

Itaiwdon Bri.ggs, Mr John Bridge, Mm C. Random 'Bri^pgn, and Mr Walter Hatton). The quartet is a fine example of Haydn, and thong-h ooampceed in the minor key is ciharac- terused by a note of oheerfulniees, wbjile por- tions of it, particularly the third movement (Memietto), aro rather .buoyant. The Quartet more than interpretedi the piece they treated, it with a delicacy and oharm which held the audieneo cn.thraliled. In the lively passages and in the nwco sonorous phrases od the Largo movement, when they produced an organs like tone, they excelled. The sparling- Allegro movement gave the instrumentalists an opportunity of displaying the diexteauty of their execution, and they were fluite equal to the task. The Schumann quartet suffered by coonpari.son with that of Hay dm; its ass- peal wa.9 not so direct. 'I'he varying moods of the quartet were revested with much bea,uty of expression and sincerity. Of both works the Quartet gave a performance that was uniusoially clear intellectoally and at the aoano time practically Miimitable from a tech- nical point of view. The general effect, how- ever, would, have been accentuated had the "attack" in oniO or two oaijce been more in- cisive and unanimous. Mr C. Rawdcn Bri^ggia and Dr. Roland Rogers gave an exprettoive reading of Max i?rueih'n Rormanije for vicJiiin amd piano, not a particularly inspired piece of inusic. The vocalist was Mr John Watkyn, who must be congratulated upcoi hi.9 wiee gclec- tion of soag^, aai,cl it is interesting to note that they were all sumg im. English. His sin?u? wa.s always full of intelligence. He showed quite as much consideration for the poet as for the composcr, and his enunciation was adaniraible. His beet numbers were Beeitiiovetn's charming' "Adelaide" and Coler- idge Taylor's e^ualiljy deliightful Eleanore," so full of the tendjerncfe <:> which invariably dbaraoterises the songs of the composer OIl "Hiafwiastiha."

GLANSEVERN ESTATE. I MR HUMPHREYS-OWEN AND HIS I TENANTS. j OBJECTIONS TO COUNTY COUNCIL I OWNERSHIP. ) The offer which Mr A. E. Humphreys-Owen, Liberal candidate for the Montgomery Boroughs and vice-chairman of the Montgomeryshire Small Holdings Committee, has madie to the Commit- tee to sell over 2000 acree—or two-thirds—of his Glansevern Estate, Montgoenery, was the gulfc-. ject of an interesting and outspoken inku^haiige of opinion between the landlord and tenants at a pothering which Mr Humphreys-Owen convened last Friday night for the purpose of explaining his offer, which has created the greatest interest and among many of the tenants has aroused feel- ings akin to consternation, numerous families having been on the c&t&te for generations. h "i= ing hie tenants, over 50 of whom were present, Mr Humphreys-Owen said he knew his offer had raised a fcreat deal of criticism and un- easiness. Probably everybody felt that his reason might not be adequate. He thought as time went on they would find t]).t-t sales of estates and changes of ownership in land would become more and more frequent. Tho opportunities nowadays of investing property or funds were far larger than they were a generation or two ago, and the requirements of owtiers, trustees, and the various parties interested in fund s found it advisable to invest property in a more fluid security than land. If that timo ever came in his case he fihould be very eorry if he was not there to see it carried out, and have a word to say as to the manner in which the property should change hands. If the County Council refused his offer he did not know whether he should sell, but if he did the ten. iit? would have the first offer. Ho pointed out uh-,¡t the grea.t majority of the farms were now small holdings, so there would be very little disturbance if the County Council purchased, and he added that lie had made pro- vision for his old tstate workmen to draw a pen. sion, a provision which he thought was only pro- per for any employer to make for workmen to whom he had been indebted for a great many years. Mr Morris Evans, Wernllwyd: Is it possible that you will withdraw your offer to the County Council and make it to the tenants firbt? Mr Humphreys-Owen: No, I will not do that, because I will put public interest before private interest. Mr Evans: This Is very unfortunate, and especi- allv to a lot of tenants who have been on the estate all their lives. I think it is very cruel to offer it to tho County Council first when the tenants have bornn tho burden and heat of the day in improving their farms. This is a most un. fortunate day. It is known among- the tenants as "Black Friday." I followed my father on my farm, and I have a boy to follow me. I don't want to be turned under an old County Council. I would rather go to the public executioner. Mr Job Watkin (Luggy), another large tenant, said it was very unfair that the County Council should have tho fi,r,t chance of buying the best land for small holdings. Small holders always wanted the pieces that farmers had got in the bast order. They would want the land stocked as well next. Mr Evans; You are making a tromendous blow at one of the best industries in the county- shire horse breeding. In this' district hundreds of first-prize winners have been bred, but they cannot be bnxl on small farms ov chicken runs. Mr Humphreys-Owen: I cannot say that the County Council would cut the lauge farms up. Mr Evans: Why give them the chance? There is a deplorable mess where they have. Mr Edward Davies (Velmdrc): Is it you who wants to sell or the County Council that wants to buy? Mir Humphreys-Owen: I am prepared to sell, and, speaking as a member of the Small Hold- ings Committee, I know they require more land. Mr Davies: If the County Council does buy it there will bo a great change in their complexion after the next election. The County Councils in every case where they have bought land have raised the rents. Eventually a resolution urging Mr Humphreys- Owen to keep the estate intact was decLared to be unanimously carried. Mr Humphreys-Owen repeated his offer that if the County Council did not buy. the tenants should have the first chance, but the, tenants re- plied.' that they had always had the best treatment, and would rather remain his tenants than be their own landlords.

A SILENT HONEYMOON. I LLANDDEINIOLEN WIFE APPLIES FOR I SEPARATION ORDER. I At the Carnarvon County Police Court on Sat- urday, Jane Lizzie Parry, Shop Nowydd, Saron, LlanddteLniolen, applied for a separation order from her husband, Griffith Parry, now of Llan- dudno. Mr Allantron, who appeared for the complain- ant, stated that the parties- were married in June, 1911. Since their marriago the husband had been persistently oruel to his wife, with the result that her health was affected. On one occasion the de- fendant tried to choko her, and ho was con- tinually making insinuations regarding the pater- nity of ona of their children. The defendant also alleged that the complainant had attempted to put poison in his food. Complainant, giving evidence, stated" that on the day of their marriage they, went to Liverpool on tMr honeymoon, and during the train jour- ney defendant only spoke twice to her; and when asked by her for the reason of his silenoe he li-ug- gested that there ivas something between he-l- and the man who drove them to the station. Their stay in Liverpool was brought to a s-udden close, ajid they returned to Bethel. She alleged that the defendant had got hold of her by the neck and tried to click-c li-or. She was afraid to live with him. He had struck her on the arm on one or two occasions. Croes-examined by Mr S. R. Dew (who ap- peared for the defendant): She had not com- plained to anyono about the alleged choking in- cident and the persistent cruelty. Mr Dew: Will you go back to live with your husband?—No. I am afraid of him. A Magistrate: Is the defendant prepared to take her -back 7-Certainly, sir. Here is our let- ter begging of her to return. The Bench, after a brief commltation with the two so licitors, decided to adjourn the ease for a month. to give the parties, an opportunity of com- in-g to an agreement.

It is understood that Sir Edward Clarke, K.C., will PetLre from practice at the Bar before the I Long Vacation.
