the single will—after striking his kisi blow behind over the treble —at the uext iead be turued trom the Iead by the treble, and will, therefore, make second’s place.

The ringers of the helis which make the thirtTs and fourth’s piaces at a single should remem ber that Ihese plac es ate madę over bells “lytng słill," as it iscalled. Both ihe hand and back~ stioke blows in third's and fourtlds places at a single have, therefore, to be struck ovev the stnne beli.

1 have now eapiained al! that it is neecssary to knnw con-cerning the daty of the beks itt a plam couise of Bob Minor, and at the Seads wlien Bobsor Singles are callcd. A fow hints with regard to the way in which 1 should recommend a band of learners to proccetl w hen endeavouiing to make themselyes competent ringers on thts munbe: of bells nuty, h<»wever, be of interest

After accompbsbing the plain course, il should Hien be rung several times over withmst coming into rounds, beyond, of coutse, the odd back-stroke iow, so that each ringer shall thoroughly understand how the different leads fotlow one another. Any idea that the nuty rommem.es or termmates at any particular point will thus be got nd of. After this, the ^il(buch" (as any length in Minor that does not run to 720 changcs is calledj of 180 chan ges (page 64) should be attempted, As this touch has only a bob at the and oi each hve leads, Ihe greatest length wjth the fewest calls is obtamed. After this is accompbshed, by calling a single insiead of the thtr<i tM>b, and npating the same calling in the second half of the touch (sec page 65), the three courses may be eMended to six, and 360 changcs rung with only six calls. I recommend that all the. short touches with a great numbcr of calls should then be rung. In this way the w hole baml wil] l>e madc thoroughly acąuamted with all the positions into which they can fali at Bobor Single-leads, and they will tlius then soon bę aide to accomplish a 720.
