PMSTATYN EASTER VESTRY. The annual Easter vestry meeting iii eon- Soction with Christ Church took place in the Church Room ou Monday morning, the Vicar presiding. In his yearly statement the rev; gentleman said there was no ebb anywhere with regard to the various parochial organisations, Thanks to the co operation of a loyal band of Workers, the parochial machinery was in a thorough-going working order, pulsating with 'c' 0 n life and energy. The new aisle had been completed at a cost of £1453, and the deficit on which now was but k,535, the chief feature m connection with this being that, with the exception of help from the Diocesan Societies, thft bulk of the. money had been raised in the parish by their own people. He was glad to say that the note of abject pessimism which confronted him when he came here four years ago, was fast disappear- ing, and in referring to the bazaar and Christmas tree, the Vicar hoped the church- people realised the debt of gratitude they owed to the excellent band of lady workers they had. Speaking of the schools, the rev. gentleman Said that they were very satisfactory, and the work was in admirable hauds. What the future of the schools would be it was difficult to tell, but the introduction of the new Edu- cation Bill was causing great anxiety to managers of voluntary schools, and did not bode well for educational peace. He desired to thank all who had assistedin the church work oi the parish, and he spoke of the loss they had sustained in the death of Mr Coward, who had been always willing to do his share for the welfare of the church. The number of communicants this year on Easter day was 311—it would probably reach 33i) with private communicants. That was very satisfactory, as four years ago the number was but 150. The offerings on Sunday, which Were given to the Vicar, amounted to -012 8/8. Speaking of the income of the liviug, 4he Vicar said there were some very vague ideas in the parish as to the value of the living, and when he informed them of the actual amonnt—and he thought it only* right that ■evsry churchman should know—probably Inany of them would be surprised. The 'vicar then gave the following statement: Nett" amount from tithe, £$88 18/8 funded pro- perty, £1 19/6 surplice fees, £5; glebe land, ,820; total, 4*260 12/9. The expendi- ture on insurance, rates and taxes, house repairs, etc., during the year, amounted to £ 72 9/3. which left a nett income from the living of £ 188 3/6. Mr T. J. Scott, as people's warden, gave a Statement of the church accounts, which shewed that the total collections during the year amounted to £273 3/2, including a balance of 6/11 brought forward from last year. The money was dispersed as follows or the Vicar, 8o5 3/ Poor, 210 13 18 church expenses, £ 82 12/2; building fund, ill i 7/5 various societies 6 0/iJ. There was a deficit of £ 2 0/4 on the year's working, although the collections amounted to nearly £ 100 more than last year, but this ■was accounted for by the substantial sum I devoted to the building fund. For a small parish, Mr Scott considered they had donb very well. The accounts having been adopted, the Vicur stated that in future he proposed to adopt a new system with regard to the "vestry. All that they would do in the public vestry would be to appoint churchwardens and sidesmen, and all accounts would be submitted to a special meeting of churchmen. The general public were not responsible for the giving of the funds, and consequently the accounts concerned them in no way. Proceeding to the election of wardens, the Vicar said that words could not express his appreciation of the work done by Mr Scott. lie had already referred to their loss of Mr Coward, and as there was likely to be hard times before the Church and the schools he could not allow Mr Scott to retire from the I SCdhJ, he therefore proposed to elect him as I his warden. Mr Inglefield having endorsed the Vicar's remarks, Mr Scott acknowledged the same. Mr E. Jones (Freeiands) was elected people's warden, on the proposition of Mr Worfolk seconded by Mr Taylor. Mr Richardson and Captain Miller were added to last year's sidesmen, in the place of Mr R. W. Hughes and Mr Marlow, the latter having asked to be excused on account of being so seldom in Prestatyn. The meeting then concluded. "L'

Prestatyn v. Rhyl Church Guild. The above teams met at Prestatyn on Saturday, in a league fixture. Both teams were without several of their usual players, the Guild being the worst sufferers in this respect. The Guild won the toss, and J. Roberts kicked off for Prestatyn before a fair gate. The game at once went in the homesters' -j favour, but the forwards failed to take advan- tage of several splendid openings. After twenty minutes play, Watts (who was playing halt back) made a grand run, and finished with a fine centre, from which the bali was rushed inte tho not. The Guild now played up, and Glass was called upon several times. The home forwards were placed in grand scoring positions several times, but quite failed to make use of them. Half-time Prestatyn 1 goal, Guild nil. The second half opened very tamely, but the home team assisted by the wind and with the sun to their backs, had matters all their own way—except when it came to netting the ball. The visitors' defence was given plenty of work, which they' got through with great credit. The home forwards continued to throw away good chances of scoring, and it was not until Tom Brooks had run almost the whole length of the field, and sent in a splendid shot (which the visitors' custodian just managed to save) that the second goal was rushed through' n From now to the fiuish, it was a case of "shot in," but the home forwards quite failed to shoot with any effect, and the final score stood Prestatyn 2, lihyl Guild 0. The weakened Guild team played a plucky game, and a special word of praise is due to Mark Hughes (goal) and Collins (back) for 1 their fine defence. Of the Prestatyn players W. Glass was simply a spectator. Jack Jones and J. T. Williams gave a good display. as also did Watts, T. Brooks, and D. G. Jones, but Bell Jones was the only forward to do anything. Prestatyn now ouly require another point to become second, but if the forwards are going to give us any more displays such E69 against Denbigh and the Guild, we shall have a job to get that one point.

The Rhyl Cup Competition: Local "Thursdays" lift the Cup. Prestatyn was doubly represented in the Easter Monday Competition at Rhyl, the Saturdays doing duty in the the Junior whilst the Thursdays were our representatives in the Minor contest. The Saturdays were muck weakened, several of their leading players gettmg as far as the touch line and theC refusing to play. After gaining a grand victory over the Clifton (Manchester) teaJ11 they were beaten by lihyl Victoria. The hopes of Prestatynites now laid witb the Thursdays, and right valliantly did this team play. After defeating Gloddaeth Rovef" (Llandudno) by 3 corners to 1, they gained splendid victory over Orrell Reserves (Liver- pool) by 1 goal to 2 corners. In the final a chance was given the Thursdays not only to win the cup, but alsO to avenge the defeat of the senior team, fOr they were called upon to play Rhyl Victoria Reserves. On time being ealled in this matck each side had scored once. In the extra time the Thursdays rose to the occasion and simply walked away" with the cup, by 2 goals to 1. This was one of the most exciting matoheS I of the day. and the victors, who were acconr panied by a large number of supporters, were 0 carried off the ground shoulder high. Well done; Thursdays This is thl t first cup and medals. The writer trusts it i; will not be their last, and hopes that nett f.. year the "double event" will be brought off. I The following did splendid service for tb5 f victors Goal, H. Roberts, backs, 5W F, Roberts (captain) and J. Allsopp, halve6' j Alf. Jones, J. W. Jones, and D. Davi^' j forwards, Bob Madden, B. Morris, P Hughes, W. Davies, and J. Bennett. Will the selection committee of the Sat111" I days please note that Pryce Jones played 0118 f of the finest games of back on the ground. Next week further notes will probably < given on above but space will not per#1 giving a full account this week. • •: Printed and Published by J. T. BUIiROI High-st.,Prestatyn, ia:tlae County of 1
