There is one tliing, however, which may be mentioned. When the tieble leads its whoie puli, the beli turned from the lead by the treble makes second’s place (as in Bob Singles), and the belts in 3-4 dodge; but, as there arc now five bells, wbat about the remaining beli ? Since there is not another beli with which it can exchangc places (that is, dodge), it remains behind. In pricking further, in the usual way, after the treble has !ed its whoie puli, it will be sten that tbis extra beli hasto strikeinal) lour blows in fifth's place,and issaid to “lulhefourbłowsbehind.'"¹

For this reason the Plain Bob metbod is better adapted for rioging on even numbcrsof bells, four, si.x, eight, Ac., as »n these cases there will always bedocging amongsl the different f.ain of bells. As, however, tny system of leacbing is based upon the use of a mcthod that can be used on any number of bells, without troubltng the beginner to learn morę thho one melhod, I can-not here recommend leamers to use any different system, ahhough one morę adapted for odd numbers of bells might secm tobeadvisahleforsuch DUmbers.
