FOOTBALL. I Wrexham played their Welsh Cup team in the return fixture with Westminster Rovers, on the Race- course, on Saturday. As both teams are still in the Welsh Cup, there was more than usual inteiest displayed in the match, and there was a good attendance. The play all through was even, Wrexham havin more of it than their opponents, but the Rovers scored more goals and won by four goals to three. It could not be said that the Eovers were the better team, but they deserved to win. They outstayed tlie home team, and during the List ten minutes had nearly all the play, and quickly put on three goals. The game was unnecessarily rough at times, and the referee might with advantage have exercised his power on several occasions. Several of the home team were clearly out of form, and unless there is an improvement, the club will make a poor exhibition to-day (Saturday) against Chirk, at Shrewsbury. S. Jones made a bad mistake in giving the Rovers their first goal, but lie afterwards stopped some diffi- cult shots. The backs were very nnstea-dy anclkicked badly. The half-backs were hardly so successful as usual, but this can no doubt be put down in some measure to the bad plav of the backs. Amongst the forwards W. Turner was completely off-color, and could not get along at all. Pxichard played a capital game, some of his centres being very line. J. Turner worked hard, and Oswald Davies mads some pretty runs. The latter player was unfor- tunately hurt just at the conclusion of the game, but lie will be able to play to-day. For the Rovers Griffiths did veil in goal, and both backs kicked strongly. Amongst the halt-backs G. i; Jones who made his reappearance after a rather long absence, played a good game. Of the forwards Ellis Davies, the outside left, put in some good runs, and Samuels was prominent in the centre. Northwich Victoria, did a good performance in the Combination, on Saturday, when they beat Gorton Villa, at Gordon, by three goals to aiL Chester were also to the front, beating Stoke Swifts by four goals to one. Buxton visited Chirk, and a close game ended in a victory for the home team by two goals to nil. The play was fairly even all through, but was rough at times. On Monday, Buxton came on to Wrexham and played their postponed fixture with the town club. The ground was in capital condition, but a strong wind blew from corner to corner, and considerably interfered with the play. Wrexham had the assistance of the wind in the first half, but the visitors played up well, and the game was fairly even, Wrexham leading at the interval bv two goals to one. The general opinion now was that Buxton would win. but the home team played up well, and had nearly as much of the game as their opponents. Do what they would, the visitors could not score, and the home forwards were dangerous on several occasions. As time went on the game became most exciting. ,-iu-lt before the lii.i -h Buxton had three fi\>e ki;rks in succession in frunt of the home goal, but nothing came from them, and Wrexham won a capital match by two goals to one. S- Jones, in goal for Wrexham, Oil some good work, and was cheered for several fine saves. The backs played better than on Saturday. Ail the half-backs did well, Hc-vcs playing a champion game. Stokes showed that lie was well worthy of It place in the team. He seemed a little out of it during the first half, but improved in the latter portion of the game. All the forwards, with the exception of Lea. who WAS completely out of his place, played well. The Buxton backs were poor, but the half-backs formed a very formidable line of defence. They kicked and tackled well, and played from the com- mencement of the game to the end. The forwards were heavy and fast, but appeared to lose heart in the second half, when tilev were unable to score. 1". Kitchen, Miiward, and Finney were the best of the live. The following are the teams selected to play in the Welsh semi-final at Shrewsbury, to-day Saturday 1 Wrexhanr: S. Jones. goal Roberts and Ellis, backs; W tlhams, Heyes, and Lea, half-backs; Parry and Pnchard, right wing; O. Davies and J. Turner, left- wing W. Turner, centre. Chirk E. Povey, goal; Postle and W. P. Jones, backs; R. E. Jonc- Atittes. and E. Morris, half-backs E. James and W. Owen, right wing; W. Egan and G. Owen, left-wing; J. Butler, centre. The team to represent Wales against Ireland, at Bangor, will be selected by the International Sub- committee after the match. Gresford Reserve beat Wrexham Victoria Reserve in the IVelsh Junior Cup, after a good game, on Saturday. Fraafir for Gresford played a very good ga-nic, its also did Mummery for the Victoria. Harrison, for the home team, saved more than one goal, wiuk .iu Bitliell, the visitors have a clinkins" full- back. AIderm?M) :d Pritchard p? yea well, and Burke was not far .Mhmd.

Shrewsbury School started with a strong wind in their favor, and making the best possible use Of this advantage, they secured a couple of goals. On changing ends. Chirk speedily retaliated, and obtained one point. However, they failed to equalise, and the game ended—Shrewsbury School two goals, Chirk one goal. DENBIGH v. FLINT.-On Saturday these teams met in friendly rivalry at Denbigh. The weather was favorable, and the ground in good condition. The game was an exceedingly swift one, and both teams were well matched. The visitors succeeded in scoring the first goal. and Denbigh woke up shortly after- wards and made matters even. On changing ends the game was again kept in the visitors' territory, and they played on the defence, occasionally breaking away. Flint managed to score another point, and the game ended with the score Flint, two Denbigh, one.

—— WREXHAM v. WESTMINSTER ROVERS. I These clubs played a. friendly match on Wrexham Racecourse, on Saturday. There was a good attend- ance. Samuels kicked off for the Rovers, who were at once dangerous. Hayes cleared, and Wrexham got away. A free kick fell to Wrexliam in the visitors' goal. This was taken by Hayes, and after some exciting play, the ball was forced behind. A corner for Wrexham was well placed, Lea finally kicking wide. From the goal kick, Powell and Davies rushed away. Jones ran out, but missed his kick, and G. Samuels easily scored the first goal for the Rovers. From the re-start, the ball was taken to the Rovers' goal, and sent over the bar. From a centre by E. Samue's, Ellis Davies had a chance, but shot outside. S. Prichard shot well into the visitors' goal, C. Jones heading out. Soon afterwards, after some good play by Prichard, J. Turner equalised the score. A corner for Wrexham was cleared. S. Prichard sent in a very good shot from the right wing, but The ball went wide. After a time the Rovers opened out a bit. but Wrex- ha:n were granted hands in midfield, and pressed ajjain. After a time the visitors got down close to the Wrexham goal, and missed a chance of scoring, and some exciting play followed at the other end of the field. Another run down by the Rovers made them look dangerous, but S. Jones ran out and saved. A free-kick granted the Rovers close to the Wrexham gcal resulted in G. Samfiels kicking behind. The j' Rovers, however, continued to press, and during an exciting bit of play, the Wrexham goal was in imminent peril, but Jones, although on the ground with several of the Rovers' men on him, managed to knock the ball out. A corner for the Rovers came to nothing. A free kici: granted Wrexliam within si i short distance of the Rovers' goal was taken by Evan Williams, and resulted in Wrexham gaining the lead. At half-time., the score stood Wrexham, two goals Westminster Rovers, one. On crossing over, Wrexham had the best of tae faWie for some time, but the visitors' defence was very strong. After a good run, W. Turner shot just outside. A corner for Wrexham, resulting from a shf t by Prichard, was sent behind by Lea. A good alan by Oswald Davies followed. J. Turner, to wht-m the ball was passed, shot behind. Directly afterwards, J. Turner scored the third goal for Wrexham. Play was then even for some time. Wrexhara afterwards pressed, and the game became faster. The Rovers rushed away to the opposite end, and alters..Tones had hit out a fast shot, they scored a sec-r-nd goal. Hands for Wrexham, near the Rovers' gral, was fol- lowed by a corner, which was sent behind. Two shots in succession were saved by S. Jones, and then the Rovers made the scores equal. The Rovers still had the best of it, and just before time Fllis Davies shot a fourth goal, and the final result s as thus :— Westminster Rovers, four goals Wrresham, three. The following were the teams :—Wrexhaia S. Jones, goal; Roberts and Ellis, backs E. Williams, Hayes and Lea, half-backs Prichard and :I'arry, right wing Oswald Davies and J. Turner. loft wing Turner, centre. Westminster Rovers Griffiths, goal C. Jones and J. Jones, backs Samuels, J. Wilding and G. Jones, half-backs; Tattuni and J. Jones, right wing J. Powcll and E.

TOURING 3N THE EAST. -I VISIT TO PHILAE, THE FIRST I CATARACT OF THE NILE. (FROM OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CAIRO, January 8. After passing tb;7.3e days ariicl the stupendous ruins of Karnak and The bes. we steamed up the hillto Assouan. On arriving there it was ar- ranged that a xisit should be made to the Island of Elephantine There are hcreafew ruins and the stately palm, but nearly all traces' of Pharonic, Peasian, Greek, and Ronmn splendour! i are gone. Here and at Assouan we came into contact with the Nubians, a handsome race, tall and slenderi in stature, and their features are of a brighter and more intellectual cast than the heavier Theban Arab. They are of a soft dusky black or bronze tint, with a very fine skim,-vhile their teeth are a string of pearls The last Monday of the old year was one of the most entrancing days of this delightful MIe excursion. Leaving the steamer at eight .the major por- tion of our party mounted camels and donkeys, and crossed the desert six miles to Phiiae, while the elder members of the party took the morning train from Assouan, and joined us on the lovely island. That ride across the desert was deeply interesting and amusing.. First we surmounted the hills behind Assouan, and passed through the cemeteries, win-re are numerous tombs of sheikhs and saints. We visited the celebrated quarries where ihe marble was procured for the great Egyptian obelisks, and many of the massive statues of the kilvr-v Here in the heart of the c.uarry is a vast mass of partly chiseled granite, which was doubtless intended for the figure of a mighty King and Cleopatra's needle, or giant obelisk for a.temple, but the design of man was not carried out. We then pass over the sands and passed through some of the wildest sceneiy in Egypt. Presently before us is the charming island of Philac with its beautiful temples, graceful palms, and acacias set in the midst of immense boulders of granite, and jutting rocks of the most grotesque shapes, between which the sacred river rushes in foaming torrents or whirlpools to the cataract below. We were soon seated i-> g_ily decorated boats, and sailing round this fairy island we landed Oil its shore, and wandering in the colonnades of its temple we dreamed of its past glories. We again embarked upon the boats manned by swarthy natives in pictures- que costumes, and rowed swiftly over the rapids and whirlpools to the head of the cataract, where we sprang upon the shore to be almost devoured by hundreds of naked Soudanese and Nubians, wearing only a girdle round their loins. What yells these savage looking beings set up. The native police armed with stout sticks, on which was lashed a broad leather strap, were rnable to keep these stalwart fellows away from us. Arriving at the top of the cra.gs above the cataract the natives again surrounded us, and clamoured for backsheesh. Scattering Egyptian coins in all direc- tions, the billows of the "foaming roaring waters were in another moment alive with black heads and faces, for the men and boys had leaped from the rocks into the abyss below, and numbers of them were carried down the cataract astride Jogs of woods, each carry- ing a red flag, while the rest sank up and down with the surge. It was a very wild and animated spectacle. The cataract as a cataract it must be said is dis- appointing. Certainly the waters l-ash ill a heavy torrent down a, deep narrow rocky channel, but they are more of a wild rapid than what one would naturally expect to find under the term cataract. The Nile swirls round the islands of Philae and Biggeh, and then becomes narrow and flows between two mountains which rise almost perpendicularly from the waters edge. Ihe course or tne waters IS obstructed hy a large number of rocky little islands and biirriers which stand on different levels. The rushing waters dash against these rocks in a region of savage witdne?s, g?liiri?ei-ed here and there by verdant palm. Two of our boats shot the rapids and danced upon the breakers like a shuttle-cock. and passing between the rocky islets sailed merrily down the river five miles to Assouan. Our return up the rapids was not, however, without peril. Both wind and water was against US. The elirli was put up, but had to be taken down, in the act of which we were nearly capsized. Eight strong men were rowing against the swift-fievving current, and loudly chanting in Arabic, 0 God. take u; the safest way to s-hore Snap went an oar, and we were dashed against the rocks. All the sailois save one leaped upon the crass, and hauling out a long rope tugged away as for life. How we eyed that rope. for one slip or one break and we were a.t the mercy of the surging waters, and soon should we have been dashed into the cataract. After niuih ch-.nting and groaning we were pulled ashore at the village of Shellal. amid the loud hurrahs" ox the sailors, who, of course, made vigorous claims for backsheesh. Wo were very glad to find ourselves once more astride the swift but sure-footed donkeys. We wended our way through narrow detile^ of granite crags down to the water side. Following the course of the river, what an awfully wild and grand prospect opened before US. Our donkeys threaded their way I among the boulders along the river bank for three miles to the old Ntibiav. village of Mahatta. Here \vc witnessed a most impressive scene—a village funeral. The corpse of a young woman was laid on a bier, and the coffin was covered with a red cloth. Round it were gathered groups of mourners and friends. Within the inner circle were thirty or forty young women, with long hair covering their necks and faces. Each was leaping in the air. and chanting an awfully solemn dirge to the beat of a drum or tambourine. Behind them were a number of men walking to and fro with heavy tread, and wailing in Arabic, Our sister is dead. 0 my sister! 0 my sister! I give you up to God!" Outside these groups were other groups of men. women, ami children, who had assembled from the surrounding villages, and were -seated on the ground awaiting the start of the funeral cortege. Speaking to Mohamet Ali. our dragoman, about this icmarkable scene, he told us that the inhabitants were very clannish, and when a friend died the natives came for many miles over the desert to attend the funeral. He said that in tne month of June last the judge of the district died at Luxor, j.nd for forty days villagers and residents came daily in hundreds from every part of the district 10 show their respect and to express sympathy with the sorrowing relatives. Tents were erected outside the residence of the de- (ceased, and several sheep were slain every day to pro- vide refreshment for the visitors who came on dor.keys over miles of de- ert. From the village of Mahatta we left the i'e Link, and entered a sandy plain, where we saw the open grave in the desert sand. We surmounted th; hill beyond, and descended to Assouan, and boarded Barneses the Great, which was at anchor iatr the night, and in tte morning pro- ceeded back dovji the stream. At Assiont. we->isitcd the American Cciicge. Ahout two hundred papiV-t, from ali parts of Egypt, arc hying cheated. Here tt noble work is liei:.e do.:c iry the institution.

(Laughter.) THE THREE TEAKS WORK. I The CHAIRMAN, in the con Be of a review ot the work of the C uncH for the pa t three year-). said that their feelings at the present time were different from wi-at. they were when th-y entered upon the duties of their office. They were then extremely anxinm to discharge the duties connected with the new Act of Parliament to the satisfaction of tho<e whom they represented, and also to-do so in a manntr whict. would cause them to look with greater satisfaction Oil this great measure which had been pagaed. Tti future depended in a great measure upon what had been done during the last three years. He thought they couldcongratulatetcfemselves upon wha< had wen done by them in the past, and he thon^lit they c ntlil meet with some decree of confid-nee those whom I they represented, that their work would be acc-ipteii by them. The qu-sti^ns which would undoubtedly be asked them by the electois and the public "eneraily were, what amount of money they bad received, and what use they had made of it, and also whether their txpenditure had been more or less tli;ttj it was utid < the previous cystem. Another question that would be asked them by the public wad as to whether the propeity of the e-unity and the roads and bridges were in order. He thought the public had a right to expect satisfactory answers to those q'l Btioua, and lie thought they cou d look the electors in the face and say that they ha 1 a rtpoit to lay before them, wtwi.ti they could do wi h very great pleasure. (IIar. bea".) He then piocscded lo d al with the 1 xp ndilure of t>i" Counc.l. They had 2.")) brings, a I. rge number d which had been redii ed.

The moitgage vteht in 1889 waR £ 3,532; at the present time it Wild £ 2.411, so that they had reduced it by £l,O!n.

In 1889 the rata was 51, last year it was 3 1. an 1 this year u wag 2 I. H" then referred to Welrh inte mediate education, saying that the Education C"mmitti e had issued a report which required a deal of labor in its preparation. Thfir first step was to consider where schools should be established in the country, and they were all (lrety well agreed upon Ruabon, Llangollen, Ruthin, D HI- bigb, and Jiaiirwtt. They were not quite iert tin about Abergele or Colwyn Bay, as the inhabitant; of the latter place did not wish to have a school estab- lished there, so that they were obliged to tu: 11 to Ahtr- gele; as to what prospect there was of est ib'isliiiig a school there permanently, the committee met at encti of these places to m:tke incpiiries. T'lty found that their funds would allow of their offering them a certain sum towards ns^ijtinsj tlftn to e.-P,.t a suitable building. They had agreed that no distinctive religious education should be yiven. To enable them to carryon the sc'oola they had made additional grants of E600 to Llanuo ten, 1:750 to Rii,iiiii, £38) t Denbigh, Llaurw >t £ 6:20, itu ibon £ 5S0, Aber»r?le £ 350, and Wrexham £ 2S0.

The o Liai-terlv meeting of the Finance Committee was held at Ruthin, on January 26th, the Chairman, Mr Humphreys-Roberts, presiding. The Committee recommended for payment the sum of L263 12s 9d, the salaries of justices' clerks due March 18th, 1892, for the Uromnetd, Huabon, Llangollen, Upper Chirk, I-aU<l. Uwch:ded- Ruthin, Isdulas, and Uwchdulas divisions of the county. Several other items were re- ceived for payment. The claims sent in by the several Boards of Guardians pursuant to section 24 of the Local Government Act, for the year ending Lady-Day, 1892, were as follows ;—Colwyn Bay and Colwvn Bay Local Board, £ 52 10s Conway Union, £ 11014s 7d Coriven Union, £ 157 7s 2d Llanfyllin, £ 57 15s 7cl Llanrwst, JE115 13s lid Holywell. S3 17s 9d Ruthin, £2.97 13s lOd St. Asaph, f343 16;; 9d Wrexham, IS24 18s 5d Wrexham r Urban Authority, S65 Ruthin Urban Authority, S25 and O.-westry Incorporation, iE7 16s 6d total, £ 2.062 4s 6d. This expenditure was on account of teachei-s in Poor Law schools, school fees, medical "i'ricers' and inspectors' fees, registrars' fees, and i maintenance of pauper luoaties.—The Treasurer sub- mitter1 a statement shewing the various sums of money received by him during the quarter ended December 31st, 1891, amounting to 913.886 Is 2d, and reported that the balance in his hands on 31st December, 1891, amounted to XIO.621 Os 6d. The Treasurer also submitted a detailed statement, shew- ing the variou?. cheques drawn by him during the quarter, amounting in the aggregate to the sum of £ 101 lCs Sd. Theee statements were approved, and the amounts recommended for payment.—The County Treasurer havi>;p i.ppliud for an increase of salary, the Chairman J?"0J?Lscl. ,¡;ld Sir Watkin Williams Wynn seconded. That it be a recommendation to the County Couittil to increase his salary as from July 1st. 1890. The following amendment was pro- posed by Mr Lumley, and seconded by Alr Christmas .J ones. That as the recommendation of the Salaries Committee in reference to the increase of the Treasurers salary has not yet been consirlred by the It-!otiiity Council the consideration of the uuestion be postponed."—Upon a division the amendment was icoct. In proposing the adoption of the Finance Com- mittee's report, the Chairman of the Committee, Mr HFSFFJNI.F.VS R(«I;EKTK, said, referring to saiaries of Inspeeioirt of Weights and Mea-v.rei, he ot served from thP. report oi the proceedings of the Joint Police Committer, that it was consideration to ppoint one inspector for the whole of the district. He would j suggest that ihe power of such appointment was not vested in the Joint Committee but in the County Council. He had yet to learn that the County Council had delegated its power in this case to the Joint Committee, and he should like if they had, that the new County Connci1 would take the control of the Weights and Measures in their own hands, and also the control of the Inspectors. He did not think there was anything else to be said upon the Finance COIll- mittee's report. The chairman of the Council had already given them-full tigtues upon their im incial position, and he should like to give them a few more ligures ol interest. Under the Local Taxation Act. they had received in 1889 and 18JO KlS.259, i ;i(i iu 1891 £ 19,916. Under the Cu-i'-ms a-:rJ Act, t'.cv had received £ 2.827. and the i'olic-e l'e.-isicns Act S399, iiiiiliiig a total of £ 23,1^2. For tiie ear 1390 and 1891 up to the pi&ctr.L time the Council had received under the Local Taxation Act £ 14,070, and under the Customs and Excise Act £ 2,232. (h of these hums they had paid to Hoards of Cuardians lid other Authorities, under sections 26 and 24, in 1390 £ 7.121. and in 1891 as a basis of calculation, and he knew the facts very v.e'l, he found that of those repayments i del red 10 the Unions received about eight times as mueil as they 1 ecei'.ed under the old dispensation. (Hear, i ear.l Thus. on an average, the Unions of the county, or local authorities, received more by £ 4.233 from the Council of the grants received from the Treasury, thus there was a saving of about 1;d in li.e poind on the rateable value of the whole county, pla; any reduction in the county expemlitur J, together with a, one-fourth of the expenditure on main roads. The sum now paid to Council by Treasury had made a difference to the ratepayeis in the county of 4d in the X. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman had dealt with he expenditure upon the main roals. The a»e;age reduction generally per annum was £ 800 odd together with £ 1,074 on main roads upon two years. They commenced with n, credit, an imaginary ^reda..vom Quarter Sessions of £ 5.343. They made payment* out of that built of (Quarter Kessions liabilities leaving them in hand £ 1,665, and they had to their crcdit on March 31, £ 5,262. lie had gone ca.ti'dly into the figures which the Chairman gave the Council, and he had no reason to believe that the e/cperahlute of the cuirent year would ho .tiiytiiing more than that of the preceding years; he reminded the Coui'.c:J that the Quarter Sessions had nothing whatever to do iu the way of controlling the expenditure on main roads, such expenditure being made by the different pail^bcs and townships. Their average rate had Leen 3,d. The average rate of Quarter Sessions bad been 5d 6-8th. and the County Council had at the beginning of the current year £ 5.262 to their credit, ;;s a^.unst £ 1,665, so that in making their rate of 2d fo- the current year they had advisedly done so. and not with a view of running it fine as they found they had £ 5,000 against £ 1,600. This would, he uiougnt, be satisfactory to the ratepayer*, and show that their management had not been an extravagant one. (Hear, hear.) Mr SIMON JONES, in seconding the adoption of the report, said the cle.ar statements that J¡¡¡ù been made by the Chairman and Mr Humphreys-Eoberis demon- strated beyond a doubt the great advantages of repre- sentative government for the counties. They had the facts proved tip to the hilt that ehiciency and ecooouiy had been secured to a large degree.

The public, nauseated with the rubbish that has been so persistently forced upon them, have hailed with gratitude the advent of the MAZAWATTEE TEAS. These High-Class Teas have met a long-felt want, and it is universally acknowledged that they RECALL THE DELICIOUS CHINA TEAS OF THIRTY YEARS AGO. Mazawattee "The standard brand for' fin e quality.
