Chaitges on Six Bells.

plain course. In other words, the rules for Bob Doubles will now bavc only to be slightly extended to comprise the daty of the diffcrent bells in Bob Minor. For instance: The rule that each beli the treble turns frum the lead will make sccoikTs place and lead again, and also the rule that this beli will, in the next lead, turn the treble from behind and then dodge in 3-4 down, applies to Plain Bob on any number of bells from four upwards. Again, the rule that any beli on passing the treble in 2-3 will dodge in 3-4 up is also applicable to Plain Bob on all numbers of bells. On each additional number of bells, certain leads only, uńłh cornspondiug additional duty, are inserted between the two leads in which a ringer dodges in 3-4 down and up. Thus the only difFeretice between the duty in Bob Singles and in Bob Doubles, is the addition of a lead in which each hel! lies four blows behind, between the two leads in which a ringer dodges in 3-4 down and up. In the following plain coursc of Bob Minor, it will be scen that two additional leads are introduced between the two leads in which a ringer dodges in 3-4 down and up. At the First of these leads he dodges in 5 6 after lying his whole puli behind, and at the second lead he dodges in 5-6 bgfore lying his puli behind. If the system be extunded to seven bells an intermediate lead between the two dodges in 5-6 (in Minor) will be introduced, and at this lead a ringer will lie his four blows behind. On eight bells, two morę leads than in Minor are introduced. At the First of these a ringer dodges in 7-8 after lying his puli ■ behind, and at the sccorid in 7-8 be fort lying his puli behind. If abeginner will only thoroughly understand all lhis, he will sce that, after Bob Singles and Doubles are mastered, he will have acąuired such a knowledge of the Plain Bob system that he can go on to Minor and thence to Triples and Major (as changes on seven and eight bells are respectively called) by merely exteuduig the duty First leaiut foi Bob Singles and Bob Doubles.
