Chan ges on Five Bells.

I must again remind my readers of the importance of learn-ing this duty, both by noticing where the treble is met, and also by the order in which these vanations at the lead-ends follow one another. Besides this, L must once morę insist on the praetical value of knowing where you pass the treble on your way down to ic-ad. Let eacb learner therefore remember;

Aft er dodgmg in 3-4 down, to take the treble at once and go in.

After lying the four bells behind, lo take the trybie at once and go in,

After dndging in up, not to look for the treble unld he stnkes his last bfow behind over her.

In a plain course each of the “inside" bells falls into a di Berent place in each treble lead, until, after coinpleting all the varieties of work, it comes back to the place from which it started, namely, rounds. As thero are four inside helis in Bob Doubles, it therefore follows tliat at the end of the fourth lead the bells all come into their origmal places. Each of these four leads consists of ten changes; in the plain course there will, therefore, be forty changes. On hve helis, however, 120 changes can be had. Some otlier means must, therefore, be taken to produce this total number of changes; this is effected by making use of a “Bobwhich is an alteration from the ord mary plain coufse work at a treble lead-end.

A Bob is pricked in this manner: Instead of second's place being madę at the lead-end, fourth's place is madę; this causes the two bells in socoruTs and third‘s places to make no desdation from plain hunting.

Take the changes in the last lead of the plain course and prick a “Bob lead." ff the changes be then    35*41
