MOTOR NOTES. I AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION. I (By J. P. Holland.) I S yea.r or two ago it was not an unusual thing to hear the remark that with the aboliticn of tlhe police trap, the Automobile Association would find itself like Othello with its occupation. ,-one. Which only shows the fallacy of prophecy- ng before the event instead of after. The police trap is pract-Jy a dead letter, except ui very isolated places like Godalmuig, where ignorance a.nd prejudice seems ingrained to the soil. But he Automobile Association scouts are more nu- merous than ever while motor cars have multi- irkied out of all reckoning as compared to the -tays when the Automobile Association was ,-oung. Danger from inconsiderate driving has onsequently rather increased than decreased, ^-specially in view of- the increased number of .:ycl and motor cycles on the road. As the .ictual work of the Automobile Association, is to :0 that which the police-trap professed to do, namely, miake motoring safe-and pleasant, so ar as the Automobile Association member is ,oncernc-d-it has faLen to this Association to replace the defunct police-trap with something which shall be equally effective if not quite so vexatious. A small map, labelled "Whitsuntide Traps, Issued by the Automobile Association, has ac- complished this result, a foot-note to this map describes it as a map showing Likely areas of ;,olice activity at Whitsun. Probable traps indi- cated by dark patches. These mapa have been widely circulated, and have proved of immense <aiue, both in the way of saving motorist* from probable fines as well as relievuig the local police irorn a lot of disagreeable duty. Armed with -job a map, the would-be reckless driver, or the aajbe careieas driver, is warned beforehand of .boee particular spots where he ought to go slow nd where otherwise he may expect to find -rouble. Unless he be a natural born idiot—in rhieh case the soonor he r~hm the limit and 1 as his licence suspended the better-he will in- tinetively have acted on a warning so plainly iven, and the result is a happier Whitsuntide :or all concerned. Speaking of police-traps, I heard a oonversa- von between a sergeant of police and a Mao-in- ie-Stree,t the other day, which convinced me hat the average policeman has no sympathy ,vith poiioe-trapping or similar mean work. The 'H<m was complaining to the sergeant about the -iaturriav afternoon motor traffic between Kil- •I'trr.n and Hendon, particularly on those after- noons when there waj flying at Hendon. That to had good grounds for complaint, anyone liv- ,fIg in that district will fully confirm. fiying .oems to have a particular attraction for youths f the Knut" brand, whose idoa of motoring ? to pit as nearly au possible on their shoulder WJes, with a. veiled companion lolling beside hem, meantime driving "ail out," no matter ,'iem, rr?oajitime drivln fhe man in the strmt low dense the traffic. The man in the street ad suggested police-traps and severe fines) to follow to rid tnk great thoroughfare of tttese .•ufcances. "VVe do !Jette; :¡an that," replied the sergeant. "1 have a taan In the middle of the road here .indicating Brondesbury Station) and whe-n these voung follows see him, in uniform, of course, hey know they have to behave themselves; ben we have another man, also in uniform, at ha top of Shoot-Up II ill or Qricklewood, which insures their attending to business for another mile; at Welsh Harp, Hendon, there is another policeman in uniform where everybody can see him, and again at the turn where the oars leave for the flying ground there are one or two police- meu to keep the traffic in order. These are bet- ter than all the police-traps in the world. They prevent trouble as you may see for yourstlf the next Saturday when there is flying." Acting on the sergeant's suggestion I took particular notice of the traffic the following Saturday, and the re- sult of my observation fully confirmed the offi- cer's prediction. i TOURIST TROPHY RACE. Next week, June 10th and 11th, will see the resuscitated tourist trophy race over the Isle of Man course. Six years have elapsed since the lUfit of thesa classic events was run for the trophy, presented by the Royal Automobile Club, the last event being named the four-inch race," al- though the prize in that instance was the same tourist trophy. The couree is a circuit of 3711 miles long, starting down Bray Hill, and by Quarter Bridge, Ballacraine and Kirkmichael, to Ramsey, thence over the mountain road to the starting point, passing the Bungalow -en route. This course is to be covered eight times in one day, or Jjwice during the entire race, making a complete run of 600 miles in all. There are 23 entries, as follows, given in tha order of start- incr:— N anie- of Car. Driver. Minerva L J. Porperato. Humber I. F. T. Burgess. Straker-Squire I It. F. Witeheli. Sunbeam I K. Lee Guinness. Star I R. Lisle. Vauxha.II I. A. J. Hancock. Adler I H. Wilhelm. D.F.P W. 0. Bentley. Sava R. Berger. Rawlineon-Hudson A. Rawlinson. Croseley C.Bt&aachi. Min-erva Il L. Molon. Humber 11 W. G. Tuck. Straker-Squire II F. C. Clement. Sunbeam II. A. Lee Guinness. Star IL U. G. C-athia., Vauxhall 11 W. Watson. Adler II J. Rutsch. Minerva ITI C. Riecken. Humber III. S. "Wright. Sunbeam III. D. Resta. Vauxhall III J. Higginson. Adler III 0. Goebel. With regard to the chances of individual com- petltors- It goes without saying that there- will be considerable wagering on the result at this time of fhe year, when everybody 18 more or leai inclined to a bit of a flutter-popular f-avour seems to be about equally divided between the Sunbeam and Vauxbait cars both of which are represented by a team of tnree. In a race of this kind, however, the human element, as per. sonified in the driver, cuts considerable figure. Here the Sunbeam team certainly have the best of it, D. Resta and the two Lee Guinnesses being all drivers o. the very highcet water mark, with "P,s of valuable experience to draw upon. The VauxhaH team of drivers run this trio a very close race. Amoner the other makes likely to be among the early starters on the second day are Lisle's Star, WhitchelFs Straker-Squire, Tuck's Humber. and Bentley's D.F.P. Visitors to the Isle of Man who may be induced to pro- long their Whitsun holiday to see the race, will no doubt find plenty of opportunity of a little speculation before the two days' racing is over. There is, however, one "sure thing" about this race, which I have no hesitation in men- tioning. History is sure to repeat itself in the matter of the tyres on the winning car, if not on the first half-dozen at least. All the com- petitors but three (the Adlers) are fitted with Dunlop tyres, so ona may safely anticipate a Dunlop victory.

I OPENING NEW- COURSE AT I LLANRWST. I A HISTORIC SPOT. I Major Priddle, Plas Madoc, formally declared the new links at Llanrwet open on Thursday. Beautiful weather favoured the ceremony, and a large number attended, when, in addition to an interesting exhibition of golf, given by Fred Collins, the Llandudno professional, and the Misses Dorothy F. Brooke, Conway, and Alling- ton Hughes, Rhyl, tho lady mamoers proviued ta. Mr Latimer Jones (captain of the club), who presided over the opening ceremony. referred to the magnificent gift made to the club by Mrs Priddle. After Miss Morris had presented Majot Priddlo with a silver-mounted and inscribed driver, Major Priddle, in acknowledging, said his knowledge of the game was very limited. Ho was persuaded to P-lay a matoh at one time with Mrs Priddle. Ho was unfortunate enough to win that gain c--(Ldu.ghter),and ever since golf has met with but little favowr in his household (loud laughter). However, he wished every suc- cess to the new course, and hoped that such a valuable asset to the town would not meet with tho f;}e of a previous attempt, which, owing to lack of enterprise on the part of the local peo- ple, had failed. The thanks of the town were due for the materialising of the present club to Mr Smith Willianta," who originated the scheme, and to Messrs Latimer Jones, A. McFarlane, D. G. Wilson, and others, who had worked so hard and unceasingly to further its interests (cheers). The course is situated about three-quarters of a mile from the town on rising ground, which posseses rich historical, legendary, and tradi- tional associations. At the entrance to the ground is tho famous old mansion Cae Melwr, or some- times written Cae'r Milwyr, a name at once form- ing a connecting link with Roman occupation. Tho romance of the "lady of Cae Melwr" has for generations past formed a fond topic for the Welsh muse.

LLANDUDNO CLUB. t The Spring Meeting of the above club was opened on Saturday, a very large number of country members attending. The twelve mem- bers who had qualified during the year tot play for the gold med.a.1 played off, and J. O. Hervey won with a good round of 80 8—72. The follow- ing1 were the returns made:— J. O.

I COLWYN BAY. Some remarkably good golf was played in the Colwyn Bay Club's monthly medal competition on Saturday. Tho feature of the day was th splendid performance of Mr P. N, G. Holmes, the club captain, who not only took tho prize end sweep money, but sot up a record for the course that will probably "hold good" for many a day. His gro?s score wa? 74, made up aa fol' ,.a day. 1118 gro,s score w.as 74, irla d e up aa fol- I Out 54444454 4—38 In 4 4 4 3 4 5 5 4 3-36 The figures speak for themselves. It wiU be notioed that out of the 18 holes he got 12 in fours, and seven of them were obtained on the old part of the course, where the distances are greater than on the extension- At three of the long holes he was one below bogey, but his best bit of work was on the eighteenth where he ran down a perfect putt for a three—two below par. Hie partner, Mr Branwood, assured me that only three errors ocouTred on this notable round. "Still," remarked Mr Branwood, "better golf I never wish to see." • • • • Singularly enough Mr Branwood had played with him earlier in the day at Rhos, where Mr Holmes returned a card of 72 nett. "That," added Mr Branwood, "was very fine going, but this afternoon's work was infinitely better. All day he has been hitting a ve,ry powerful and per- fectly straight bail, and on the greens he has been deadly." With nice modesty. Mr Bran- wood did not explain that he had snapped up the medal at Rhos despite Mr Holmes' 72. I hope the Captain will maintain his present irresistibLe form throughout the Carnarvonshire meeting at Portmadoc on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday next. We sihall then see championship honours coming to Colwyn Bay. That should not be be- yond the man who proved so good a runner-up with Mr T. C, Mcllor for the Welsh champion- ship in 1911. < < < Two other sound accomplishments on Saturday were the 75 and 76 nett returns of Mr A. Bow- den and Mr T. P. Shaw respectively. But for one or two inibtak-es the former would have whipped off the prize, excellent though the Cap- tain's card was. Mr Shaw has also been playing steady, confident golf for some weeks, but he has never before produced a 76. It is much to be negrvfJted that owing to business demands he ca.anot represent his club in the team champion- ship at Portmadoc. It is equally deplorable that Mr O'Connell and Mr F. N. Clover should also be unable to turn out. The Captain reports that he has managed to form a team, but there are too many Ion,g handicap men in Ui-a little party to please one. The main thing, however, is that the club are to be represented. I hope to havo something to say on the meeting next wceic. w w I wonder whether tho Colwyn Bay authori- ties realise that many hundreds of visitors who spent Whitsuntide in the town woidd probably have gone elsewhere, but for the three local golf courses. The large number -of day tickets issued at the Rhos, Colwyn, and Colwyn Bay clubs afford striking evidence of the ever-growing de- mand for these facilities, and in the interests of the town as a whole it is essential for the Col- wyn Bay Council to do more to encourage the local clubs. Much is poesiblo especially in pro- viding better roads to the pjaying aroas at Col- wyn Bay and Rhos. I know there are teohrjlc-, difficulties to overcome, but, had the Cotin,il the will, they would speedily discover a way to sur- mount bye-law obstacles in this master tis trey have repeatedly done over other matters.

I THE BICYCLE IN AMERICA. The older cyclist will remember the invasion from tho United States in the early days of thø "safety." Although the American machine was good enough in its way it attained merely a- tem- porary popularity, and that only because of the high price of the British cycle. Now the lattef has secured a footing in the United StatoB by virtue of its own excellence and despite hostile tariffs. The following extract from the letter to the Raleigh Co., of Nottingham, speaks for it- self:—"The Modelo Superb which I got from you last September has given me every satisfaction on aU kinds of roads, and I may add that it h88 been well tested, for this has been one of ths most severe winters for years. I have riddeO over a big stretch of Long Island, Staten Island, and other parts of New York State, also parts of New Jersey, and it has attracted notice and ad- miration everywhere I have been. It is admitttd by all cyclists they have never eccn anything like it." or

I NORTH WALES COAST FOOT- BALL LEAGUE- At a special meeting of the Management Com- mittee of the North Wales Coast Football I/Cagua, last Friday, it was announced that the Carnar- von Club, which bad been heavily fined, had resigned its membership of the League.

soLemnly picked out and dropped his ball cm to a nice lie. Then desiring to have veaigoanoe Olll the erring bail he proceeded to iii-opare for a mighty swipe with his iron. He hit the ball well on to- wards the hole, but unfortunately his club flew from his hands, "out of bounds," into the cop- pice ovcar the road. He spent about twelve times the regVlation five minutes in looking for that club, but all in vain. Ho found his balli, but up 00 the time of going to press we hear he has not found the club. It is suggested that he wait until the leaves fall in tho autumn: that coppice will be cleared then! It was a enso of "hard-a-port" wa,n't it, captudn? • • « • The committee arc hard at work as usual. Learning the local rules and enforcing thorn keeps them fairly busy. Then handicaps are tv f blesome—just look above at some of those "Vhit'snn results and see fo? yom'seK. And the ew dub. house scheme—very well under way- close attendance at mamy meetings. We Veally do apprcciate the work of our committee, and wo are certain every member wonders at the strenuous sorvice our honorary secretary con- inues to render the c.,Akb. We hope winning tha-t sweep on Whit-Monday may be taken as a. small token of our appreciation, Mr Secretary. » By the way, two of Ctr members are expe'rt in the art of arranging sweeps and winning the same themselves. Enquire about last Saturday aftex- noon's sweepstake. Here's a record—possibly a worM's golfing re- cord. Our ex-captain, Rev. C. W. Barlow, has, during hLs play on ouir course, had five "ones!" Throe of these have been at the 13th hole. We wonder if he has found the performances ex- pensive? Reader, if you ever have the good luck to ho!e out from your tee shot, t-ako our advice, and go straight home—not via the club- house. Now for P,.),rtniadool I WHY NOT?
