Bowling Club Dinner.I
Bowling Club Dinner. I ABERYSTWYTH'S SUCCESSFUL YEAR. The annual dinner of the Aberystwyth I B-.wl;ng Club was held in the Lion Royal Hotel on Tuesday night and proved one of the most enjoyable eve- he d. About seventy members.; and friends attended under the chairmanship t of Mr. T. J. Morrison (president of the Club).. The Host and Hostess had provided an excel- lent dinner. ) The first toast, that of the ''King and all the Royal Fapiiy," was given by the Chairman who said that this country possessed the best King and the best royal fam;ly in the wor d. America would go back to monarchy if they could capture our Prince of Wales. After the toast had been duly honoured, the Chairman extended a welcome to members of the Club and the non-members who found themse ves amongst such happy company. Since its formation, the Aberystwyth Bowling C ub had made splendid progress, but inevit- able changes had been wrought. When the, dId club played on the Llanbadarn road silver' cups were not so plentifu.. It was a hard, struggle in those days, but. the Club had pu led through and done a lot for the good of Aberystwyth. Through the Club they had in- duced a number of visitors to come to the town. The membership was increasing and he was glad to say that one lady had "broken. the ice" and become a member. Before long they hoped to see more iadies enjoying the game. (Applause.) The Chairman afterwards proposed the toast of "H.M Forces," and in doing so said that no man living could do full J is ice to 'he tiast They could not sufficiently thank the navy i and the mercantile marine (personified by Capt Fryatt) for the wonderful things they had done, They could still sing "Brifannia Rules the Waves" and know that Britain was mistress of the seas. The army which went out in Aug- ust, 1P14, had g own to a wonderful military machine of five million men. When they thought of the Forces they could not he p thinking of those brave men who hacl laid duwn t eir lives; but some were present among them—one being Col. Rea, T D., whose name he coupled with the toast. In reply, Colona: Rea said that although he agreed that this toast should be on the list he did not think it should be responded to, Ii particularly at a sports gathering of this kind when most of those present had done their bit" one way or another. He felt deeply touched by the reference to those whom they had left behind and who could not join with them. The Chairman then presented the Rufus Wil.iams's cup to Mr. Topliss, this year's win- ner. The-tprevious winners were Mr. W. H. ] Jones (191^ and Mr. J. E. Benbow (1915), there being no competitions in 1916-17-18. The run- ner-up, Mr. W. E. Evans, was presented with the second Iprize. Mr. P. B. Loveday gave the toast of The Aberystwyth Bowling Club," and said he failed to see why lie had been selected to do so since he was not a member. The Aberystwyth Bowling Club was one of the best On the Welsh Coast and one of the most popular, and, further than that, one of the most demo- cratic. Its membei-ship was open to all classes, creeds, and nationalities, and it promoted good fellowship. A game of bowls was a com- fort and he suggested that the motto of the C!ub should 00 ''Peace, Perfect Peace." (Laughter.) Some eminent man had said that the bow ing green was where the women cease from troubling and the wicked are at rest. Tho Club had long seen the possibilities of the game and now the Town Council had recognised it as a most popular inducement to visitoris. Concluding, the speaker said he much regretted the absence of Mr. Emrvs Williams, the secre- I tary, through illness. The names of Captain Jones (treasurer) and Captain B. T. Llcyd were coupled with the toast. I Captain Jones/in responding, said the Club had entertained nearly 3,000 visitors which, in itself, showed the popularity of the game. They'started the season with forty-five mem- bers and ended with eighty-two. He was not in a position to disclose the finances, but trey could rest assured they were on a so id basis. Captain Lloyd said that although he wis not so intimately connected with the Club as some of the members he knew well enough that Mr. Emrys Williams was the man behind the wheel and be regretted his absence. He was glad that, the Club was admitting women be- cause it gave him a sporting chance, and although the first lady to join was a nr.airied one he still had hopes. (Laughter.) Their President was Irish and the members cor-posed So tchmem, Englishman, a.nd Welshmen whilst all other nationalities which came along were welcomed. They had one of the bft, gieens on the English and Welsh coasts. As a water- ing pace Aberystwyth should sti port its athletic and sports clubs. The College authori- ties had given them great support. The Club had spent a great deal of money on the green, but it was money well spent and his advice to them was to go in for a second green in order to cope with the large number of people who were sure to patronise them. They were the leading club on the Welsh coast at the present time and Aberystwyth was an ideal town for a holiday. The Golf Club had helped the town a great deal as hundreds of people visit-ed the place for the golf just the same as they do for bowls. They shou d do all they could to foster the Club in their midst-, as it behoved the local body to cater for sports and anything he could do would be done. It would be for the mutual benefit, of the Club and the town. The Chairman presented the David Evans cup to the winner', Mr. W. G. Evans, at this juncture, and also the second prize to Inspec- tor Edwards. The toast of the "Mayor, Corporation, and Trade of Aberystwyth" was proposed by Mr. E. R. Hindlcy, who said he was g ad to see so many members of the Town Council as members of the Club, and hoped that this might impart that genial, benevolent, and Pi(kwif*:»n atmospfliere which characterised the bowling into the Council meetings. One of the great problems which the Council had to deal with was the housing problem which needed sympathetic consideration and also the contcmp ated purchase of the electnc light. He coupled with the toast the name of Coun- cilor Captain E. Llewellin. In replying, Councillor Llewellin said lie re- gretted that the Mayor was not present to respond as he was a sport of the "first water," who cou;d be relied' upon to do as well as any mayor that had preceded him. Touching upon the question of sport, Aberystwyth was fairly well situated as regards bowls and golf. Dur- ing the war. people were surprised at the number of C5 men in this country, and it has taught a lesson that provision should be made for recreation for C3 boys so that they might become Al men. So far it has been left to companies to form sports clubs and they were dependent on the College authorities to provide, tennis courts for visitors. The Council had several times had before them the question of a rexreation ground for children; but it was a hardy annual—nothing ever came of it. The boys had nowhere to play football, but at street corners, whereas the Council should provide a piropdr playground. It seemed to him that they thought more about getting monev for allowing, grazing on the land than for the we fare of the children. It. was a dis- grace that they should not cater for the cil ren. Regard-ng the housing question, ho bc- lieved that the Aberystwyth Corporation had done more for housing for the working classes than a.ny other p'ace in the kingdom. The electric light question was one which needed careful consideration. He would like to see the works the property of the Council, but they did not want. to buy a pig in tho bag." They wanted the place at a fair price —not a price which they wou d regret in a couple of years. He suggested that they should start the season as early as possible and extend it as late as possible. Another thing he would like to mention was that the band should not be taken off the front on Tuesday nights. Mr. Craven (the host) also spoke and said how pleased he was to have entertained them. He was particularly struck by the plain speaking which no doubt would do a great deal of good. He, personally, believed that the lack of rail- way facilities was keeping Aberystwyth back. The Chairman said he found no great grounds for ,complaint about the railways, as the Cam- brian Railways Company had been most kind to Aberystwyth. No railway could have treated <hem better. v During the evening songs were given bv Messrs Dc-wi Williams, L. J. Morgan E. C. Jones, and David Jones who were accompanied by Mr. 8yd Evnns. The function was arrangede by Mr. W. H. Jones to whom great credit is due.

IPoland's Struggle. *
I Poland's Struggle. I INTERESTING LECTURE. On Thursday, November 13th, a profoundly interesting and instructive lecture en "Poland, Past and Future" was given by Professor B. J. Wilden-Hart, M.A., of Keble College, Oxford, a Fellow of the Royal Histol-ical Society, at Port Talbot. j The Lecturer in opening his subject staled, that a3 a race we were lar too insular -.nd our condescending philanthropic attitude was not only a source of annoyance to the new-1 born states on the Continent but also of con- siderable danger to ourselves and that on the independence and safety of North-East Europe depended the safety not only of our owr. f Empire but of the whole w?rld. The Professci then startled his audience by showing pli to. graphs of various captured German docu- ments which proved conclusively that Ger- many was working towards the conquest of Europe within the next 10 or 15 years by means of the unlimited resources both humnn! and material which she would acquire from af Germanized-Russia. The lecturer. then asked: his audience what the remedy against this world catastrophe was to be and pointed out; that it already existod in tl,e form of' a chain! of ba-rier states extending from the Baltibi to the Black Sea.. Some interesting slidesij were than shown af Esth-nia and Lattvia which gave the impression that although these small states only numbered about four million peoplo between tic-m,vet they were a very brave and cultured people with a country which was ■ for its size richer than any other portion at Europe. The lecturer then came to the Re- public of Poland which formed the chief topic of his lecture. After tracing the glorious and romantic history of Poland from the 8th cen- tury onward with spccial reference to the con- tinual st-uggle b. ft ween the Teutons and Slavs which was only postponed temporarily by ho great defeat of the Teutonic Knights, at Grun- wp.ld (or Tannenburg) in 1410, the lecturer then explained the crucl partitions of Poland by Russia., Prussia and Austria from 177,2- 1795. The lecturer then stated that Poland i from her size, wealth and experience, would have to be the key stono of the chain of ba"- rier states, and for this role Poland was emin- ent-ly fitted She had a thousand years of glorious Irsiory behind her during which t'me: she had saved Eur<?pe from numerous 1nyaS- 1 i ns by hordes of Asiatic barb,? -ans, she w.-jj i the now 6th power in Eur"ne numerically, herv people were a highly cultured race, and had produced such men oi wor'd-wide fame as O^peinicus, Choplin, Joseph Conrad, and M. }• Paierewski who is at present the P esident f Poland. The health of Poland was tremend- ous. In Galicia there were the famous salt mines and petroleum oil fiq'ds, in Posen and West Prussia there we e vast nroducticais of sugar and cereals. Congress P -land before the war produced one-seventh of the indus. Lial output of tho whole Russ'an Empire, End Upper Silesia which was eminently Polish in history and race, contained the coal fio'ds of [ Eur pe. The Professor then touched upon some or the future problems of Poland, nd after stating that the Poles were Roman Catholics and that the 'arge number of Jews were mainly hostile Etnd German speaking (Yiddish) he then warned the audience that when Bolshevism had been put down in Russ'a there was danger of a revivified, Rossian Gov- e nment seoking to recover by force some of those vast territories which she had lost during tho war but which were inhabited by independent races who had been crnePy sup- j pressed by Russ;a in the past. In conclusion the lecturer asked h's audience to do all in their pwer to form a strong public opinion demanding the independence and protection by the Allies of the new and virile states of North-Ei grt Europe.. T.'o Chairman passed a vote of thaoks to Pressor Wilden.Hart for his well-studied interesting and instructive lecture.
I Departure of Judge ,Ivor…
I Departure of Judge Ivor Bo wen. I EXPRESSIONS OF REGRET. Before starting the business at Aberystwy.h County Court on Wednesday, the Registrar (Mr Joseph Davies), addressing his Honour Judge Ivor Bowen, desired on behalf of the officials to express regret thai, tnat would be the last occasion on wnich his Honour would preside over the Court. The circuit No. 28 was a very od one, having been instituted in 1847; but now the Lord Chancellor had been pleased to re-arrange the circuit,. Since its institution the Court had been happy in having eleven eminent judges to preside over it—Judges Johns, Findal, Atkinson, Homersham Cox, Stephenson, Owen, Gwilym WiLiams, Brynmor Jones, Bishop, Beresford, David Lewis, William Evans, and lastly his Honour. He (the speaker) had had the privi ege and honour of being associated with the Court for the past forty years and regretted that of the judges mentioned—Judge Brynmor Jones and his Honour-wen the only two now al ve. Aber- ystwyth has been considered the headquarters of Circuit 28 and because of that he had been brought into close personal touch with at the judges. He very much regretted the departure of Judge Ivor Bowen who had presided over the Court for near y two years. He was & judge who had administered even-handed jus- tice. His decisions had been oaspd in sound, law and his judgments in common sense. On behalf of the officials he desired to thank his Honour for the great- kindness and unfailing courtesy on a occasions. In conclusion, Mr. Davies wished his Honour long life and pros- perity and that he wou d carry away with him the best wishes of the officials. Mr. Hugh Hughes, on behalf of solicitors practising at the Court., added his testimony to the regret felt at the departure of the Judge who had been most kind, considerate, and forbearing to these practising in tTle Court. In severing his connection with the Court, his Honour would carry away with him their best wishes. Mr. W. P. Owen said Judge Bowen's de- parture to him personally was a source of great ^regret as he had followed his Honour's career Consistently for the past thirty years and was /11('h 7"atified hy the pn piess tllat 11f' had made. His career since the time he acted as/County Court judge was simply the {''S'ifi- cation of his work at, the bar where he showed j sound i tstice and a profound knowledge of aw. The loss of the Court at Aberystwyth vro'nl^ be a great gr-in to the circuit to which his Honour was going. Judge Bowen thanked the Registrar and his offi ials and the gentVmen of i-he B <r for their han-y -eferenees. He had had years practice at the Bar and knew the qualities necessary for the prop"" pdmimstration of jus; tiee. Some of his experiences had been un- pleasant; but oc the whole his wcrk had been pleasant particular v where tie e was dos" co-operation between the offir'ais and the judge. He was sorry to leave Abe-ysrwv'h and sorry that the o'd circuit which had been in exist- encf. for seventv_two years should be broken into. The change was no doubt due to the Lord Chancellor's foresight regarding the coming great changes in the legal affairs of the country b^ng-i'-tr the abolition of the old which came into-vogue there were hadlv any meins of communication be- twren one p'ace ann ot her. The c:rcui £ wa.. 'pry old and th" w""k hro,1 zan'lfll1v <rrown s; that a change was inevitable. He was very gad to be succeeded at Aberystwyth by an old friend (Judse Lloyd Morgan) whom they would find perfect in eve-y way and Judge Morgan would have no difficulty in the court with one of the most efficient and experienced registrars in the whole of Wales. In con- elusion, he-wished aU present long life and prosperity. 0

CRITICISM OF THE LIQUOR TRADE I LICENSING BILL, 1919. Sir, The Temperance Council of the Christian Churches (officially rep.esentafctve ■ of the Temperance Executives of the leading Christian denominations of Eng'and and Waios) has had under consideration the Licensing Bill, "framed by the Licen" Trade," which has just. been published. After a. careful study of its provisions, the Council, while cordially weloc,miilg a few of its pro- posals, is imperatively constrained to condemn most of its proposals as retrograde and m>s- chiesvous, and in direct conflict with the prin- ciples underlying úhe "Nine Plaints" pro- grsmme of the Council. 1. Tho provisions of the "Trade" Bill which the: Council approves include the following:— 1.—The clauses as to clubs which supply in- toidcating liquor, whereunder, amongst other advantageous reguktiens, a club must make an annual application for its registration, which can be opposed; is made subject to a roasts able right of poiiec-entry; and is confined, as regards the hours for t £ ie supply of 1iquor, to the same h >urs as those appointed for the sale of liquor in the local licensed houses. 2.-Tqio prohibition of the "Iong pull." I 3.—The more prompt and effective penalising of the liconce.hold6r who unreasQnably re- j fuses Xo supply suitable refreshment other than intoxicating liquor. The foregoing reforms could usefully be i taken from the "Trade" Bill aaid incorocrated in a measure designed to secure a firmer pub- lic control over tho liquor traffic. j Tf J The provisions of the "Trade" Bill for which the Council can only have the strongest oon- I demnation, and which it would oppose most strenuously, include the following:- I I.-Illio proposal to ab lish the Licensing I Justices, who for generations have exercised a more or loss restraining influence over "Trade" aggressions, and the consequent destruction of tho present limited popular control over tHe licensing, construction. and conduct, of public houses Z.-Tli(t proposal to substitut.e for the Licensing Justices a new Licensing Authority consisting of Licensing Judges representing j neither local knowledge nor local sentiment, and who would' be required to deal with rmm mse licensing areas. The Bill provides thai a licensing judge may consult a loci! Advisory Committee of four persons regarding the reduction, increase or decrease of licensed [ promises in sny particular loczlii,-r, and the hours to be appointed for the sale and supply of intoxicants; but it is impossible to regard these piovisions as an adequate means of securing a true expression of unbiassed public opinion, since it is laid down that, two of tho four members of each Advisory Committee Arc to be representatives of the liquor trado. 3.—The proposal that applications for new liceneci and removals of licences may b-1 granted at any t:me by a licensing court, and not as heretofore oily at the con era! annual licaaslng meeting. The existing difficulties of Iho public in opposing applications for now liceuces and removals of licences would in this way be grea.tly increased. (The Bill further provides that applications for alterations and extensions of licensed premises can -So ba granted at any time.) 4.-The proposal to extend the present week- day hours for the sale and supply of drink from six.and-a-half to twelve a. disastrous stop towards the pre-war conditions which were condemned by all disinterested people. In particular, the Bill leaves unremedied the mis- chief of late evening drinking, for it actua'ly empowers the new licensing authority to ullow the sale and supply of drink to continue until midnight, both in London and the country. 5.—The proposal to extend the present Sun- day hours for tho sale and supply of drink from fiVe to seven in London, and from five Co six in the country. 6.—Thc proposal to limit the power of the licensing authorities to refuse consent to structural alterations enlarging the drinking: area within a licensed house. This would dc- stray the hardly.won gains of forty years of temperance struggle in the licensing courts. The people mainly responsible for the present publio-house deficiences arp the licensed traders themselves, as there has been nothing in the existing law to prevent tho grant of anv bona-fide applications for improvements I in licensed premisea- I 7.-Tho proposal to irrant new licences for I a term of 21 years. This would dangerously imperil the rights of the public in and over such licences.
[No title]
(Continued from previous column.) 8.Tho proposal to diminish the control of the licensing authority over music, singing and dancing, and the allowance of games with monetary stakes, in licensed houses. This is opp-sed to the lessons 01 experience, and, would encourage, "intsr ala," a disastrous development of the gambling spid. which already wvrks such social havoc. 9. — The proposal which would virtually lepoal the provisions of the Childl en's Act of 1908 (the charter of the protection of the young against public-house contamination) by permitting the presence of children with a.du ts in' bars and other portions of licerscd premises where drink is sold, provided other refreshments are (obtainable thoro. 10. — The prcp-sal to re-distribute licences by giving statutory authorisation to the prac.. tico of barte ing oJd redundant licences for va,"ucJ>'e new licences in other localities. The admi&rerlly largo number of Redundant licences should be extinguished on the sole ground of redundancy. 31.—Tiie proposal to 'essen the responsibility of the public-house owner for the 6enduct of tho house, by facilitating transfer* from offending licensees to new licence-holders, and thereby "whitewashing" badly conducted houses. 12.—The proposal to lessen the responsibility I of licensees for misconduct by making it still more difficult to obtain convictions for the serving of liquor to drunken persons. The law in this regard is even now scandalously ineffective, as illustrated by the fact that in te year before the war, the last cf normal conditions, there wore for England and Wa'cs 188,877 convictions for drunkenness. and only I 372 convictions for permittinor drunkenne«a and soiling to drunken persons.

I Aberystwyth County Court I I SHORTAGE OF HOUSES. At Aberystwyth County Court on Wednesday before Judge Ivor iiowen, K.C., Benjamin Price, Miii-street, Abeiystwyth, applied for i the possession 01 a dwelling house occupied by Jolm Evans, Clialybeate_street. Mr. Hugh Hughes was for the plaintiff, and Mr. W. P. j Owen ior the defendant. Mr. Hugh Hughes I said the house was purchased in 1917 by Mr. T. S. Price, grandfather of the plaintiff. A rental of 4:25 was evied per annum, and defendant j had paid regu arly. The house had beer, itf, in the will of Mr'. Price .o the plaintiff, who desired the house for his own occupation. As lie was in need of a house he sent the de- fondant notice to quit on November 12th, j 1918, the notice t.o terminate on May 12th, 1919. He afterwards found that the house could only be vacated on November 12th, and therefore he sent another notice on May 12i-h to that effect. Defendant had twelve months in which to t'ry to secure a house during which time plaintiff and his wife had to live with his partner.—C.oss-examined Had de- fendant asked him for a house after receiving notice to quit he would have got him a house owned by his sister in Greenfie'd-street which has now been occupied.—John Evans, the de- fendant, said he paid JS25 rent per annum for his house, but recently received notice from Mr. Price that the rent was to be increased to E16 per half year. He had done his best to find a house in the town and his wife had a'so tried.—Mr. Owen: You seldom hear of a work- man living in Laura-place, do you?—Mr. J. Evans: Only Mr C. M. Williams. (Laughter.) The Judge said that after 1921 there would be, he hoped, no question as to the tenancy of a house and persons could go freely through the m .)t: -t and get the houses they required, He found that p'aintiff had been negotiating for the sale of the house and had required iil for his own needs. Until the p'aintiff could give defendant the alternative of another suitable house he could not make an order and therefore dismissed the case without costs.

FOOTBALL NOTES. COLLEGE v. TOWYN. On Saturday, Towyn Rovers visited Aberyst- wyth to piio tje College eleven undoi the auspices ui ujicn.ig onrery shire League. Wea- ther couuuiuns were not altogether satisfad- lory, it Luang uamp undenoot and the sky du 1. College ueieuded the "Gym" end in the first hait. There being no match at the teinitiihe.d, the Coiiegians had the benefit of town supporters, anu a good "gate resulted. ITiere were several changes in the Coll. team. Harries (tite local student) was seen at centre-haii, Johnson in goal, H. Evans at in- side acit, K Owen au inside right, and W. rieihngs ana Tievor Jones at left-full and at nght-hali. Taking the game as a whole it was dis- appointing. Alter about fifteen minutes play, niainiv in lowyn ualf, the Collegians were I given a free kick near the pena-ty line which H. Evans took and scored with a fairiy Lrf shot. This brightened up the play, and with- in a few minutes another goal was scoied by Rod Morris (centre forward). Play continued to be macii in Towyn's portion, and Towyn goalie was called on to save time after time. A beautiful drive from a forwarewas remark- ably well saved by the same goaie. Shortly before the termination of the first half, Rowlands (in goal for Towyn) was penalised ior exceeding the lunit, he running several yards with the ball in his hands. H. Evans I took the free kick and again succeeded in finding the net, thus adding the third goal for Co-lcge. Thence up to half time there was no further scoring, the half time score I beine College 3 goals. Towyn Nil. The second half proved an unlucky one for the Collegians. In an attempt to reach the ball, Rod Morris col'ided with a. Towyn back and in the contact Morris was badly hurt and had to be carried off the field and was subse- quently taken to the Gymnasium for examin- ation. During the second half play deteriorated and from a spectator's point of view was dis- appointing. The Collegians are always ex- pected to play foot-bal,, b.ut play in the latter half developed into a sort of go as you please" auair. Instead of improving their goal average, which is not so fait an excep- tionally good one, they succeeded in adding two gua.1s on:y to their total score. Thosv goals were got we.1 towards the end of the game, Knigiit nesting the first at cose range, and K. Owen, from a centre from Knignt, scored the second which was the best goal of the match. Towyn succeeaeu in netting the bill once, but the Whistle having blown for off-side, it was disallowed. The final result of the game was:— Col ege 5 goals. | Towyn Nil. AS nas Deen previously saia poc" looiDan characterised tha .game. The Collegians overwhelmed their opponents, but that was due more to the good work of the defence than that of the forwards. It was obv,- that. shooting from thirty to f&rty yards would never bring goals, and time after time the inside forwards, instead of putting to the wings tried these shots, some of which just about reached the goade. Evans, at inside left, played a good game-to the gallery-—but should remember that he is only one of five forwards Owen. at inside righ* was good in mid field, but plays muf < better as a partner to Knight. The la, ,er was not seen to as great an advantage a 'ual, and is inclined to want to get too near the corner mark, giving the opposing defence time to recover, generally ending with a weak centre, whereas an earlier centre would be more effective, and probably a more powerful shot. Wing men are not. expected to do the scoring, but to place the ball for the inside forwards. Rod Morris played well, but his accident upset the wings, as he is inc;ined to open the game more so than his inside forwards. In the second half, Wynn played well. He put in several lovely centres which were never made use of. There are times when he should play on the backs more, and not hesitate and thereby lose chances. Coll defence was good. Trevor Jones at right half played a good game, and it was generally thought he would be an acquisition to the forward line. John- son, in goal, was never given much chance to show his abilities. Coll, especially the for- wards, must think the game over and remem- ber Newtown—this Saturday. Towvn played a hard game, but were beaten by weight and a perfect, defence. Rowlands, in goal, was sound and was in no way to blame for the goals scored against him. He had a busy time and sti-1 he kept smiling. The backs were a good pair, also the halves; but a team with a strong defence and no attacks is useless. The following were the teams:—College Goal, Johnson; backs. Rees and Hellings; halves, T. Jones Parries, and Philips; for- wards, Wynne, Owen, Morris, Evans, and Knight. Towyn: Goal, Rowlands; backs, Francis and Fashion; halves, T. C. Jones, Hafekost D. Jones; forwards, Williams, H. Jones, Griffiths, Clay, and Owen. The referee was Mr. Rogers, Machynlleth Athletic. WELSH AMATEUR CUP. BARMOUTH V. MACHYNLLETH. These teams met in the first round of the Welsh Amateur Cup at Bs-rmouth, on Satur- day, before a record gate. During the n"t fifte(n mmutes, the homesters were pressing hard and were awarded four oorner kicks, but the Machynlleth defence were, fine. Barmouth were awarded a penalty for hands which was taken by Humphrey Humphreys, but Ilia Machynlleth goalkeeper saved. The voters were now having the best of matters. C.

The forwards werei too eager to score and many chances were thrown away by wild shooting. Tho visitors were making suddon rushes for the h"me goal, but Humphreys and Aspmall were prominent with fine work. As time was going on. the homesters were attacking continually. and within four minutes of full time they were awarded a penalty from which Llewelyn Davies drew level for Dal-moxth. The final result being:- Barmouth, 1; Machynlleth, 1. Mr. Sam Williams, Penrhyndeudraetli, acted as referee. The replay will take place on Sat- urday at MachynPeth. The homesters were best served by Humphreys in goal; Aspinall at back, and Brazier as forward, whilst V,cbynlleth were best served by Charlie Dav- res, Arnold, Sam Vaughan "and Harrv Edwards. <•- w s- v

Aberystwyth Sessions. A DASTARDLY ATTACK. At Aberystwyth on Wednesday before the Mayor (Professor Edward Edwards), E P. Wynne, Daniel Thomas, Griffith Jones, and T. J. Samuel, Esqrs., John Smith and his wife (Maria Smith), Little Darkgate-street were summoned for having been drunk and disorderly —The case was dismissed on payment of costs. the Bench taking into consideration the male defendant's service with the forces. An application was made by Messrs. Ward and Co., Oriental Cafe, for an extension of their dancing licence on Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m. Mr. T. J. Samuel said an article had appeared in a Cardiff paper about the Aberystwyth magistrates, but still they must be consistent. Asked what time the dance was to commence, Mr. Ward's manager said 8.30.-The applica- tion was refused. Mrs. Catherine Thomas, Cambrian-street, summoned for having neg ected to send her children to school, said the chi dren had been ill-treated.The case was adjourned. Charles Jones, LJys Gwilym, High-street, and Thomas John Hopkins, Penmaesglas-road, were summoned for being oh licensed premises, namely, the Cross Foxes, Mil:-street, during prohibited hours, and Mrs. Emma Humphreys, licensee, was summoned for having allowed defendants on the premises -at that time.—Mr. W. P. Owen defended.-P.S. Thomas Davies said at 11.40 on Saturday night, November 22nd, he was proceeding along Mill-street with P.C. Vaughan when the door of the Cross Foxes Inn was opened and Charles Jones came out. He called to Jones and entered the house where he saw another person who proved to be Hopkins. He asked Mrs. Humphreys how she accounted for the two men being in the house at that time. In reply she said that there had been a meeting of the Buffa!o Lodge and Charles Jones added It is next to the Masonic Lodge," but Hopkins did not say any- thing. Mrs. Humphreys said "We have not done anything wrong." There were many empty beer glasses on the counter. Jones was under the influence of drink when he was on the premises.—Cross-examined Hopkins was not under the influence of drink. Mr. W. P. Owen said he did not think he had any case to answer. The charge was of having kept open the premises. P.S. Davi s s evidence went to show that the premises were not kept open as the door was shut. There was not the slightest evidence of the place having been kept open for the sale of in- toxicating liquor. Mrs. Humphreys said there had been a meet- ing of the Buffalo Lodge. At about 11.20 t.wo gentlemen knocked at the door and she opened it for them. She found Mr. Charles Jones there and as he was a friend asked him in for a chat and also asked his companion Mr. Hopkins, who was with him. They had a short conversation in the n ass age, but no drink was supplied. Asked how she accounted for the reflection on the blind of a person with a cap oh. she said it must have been her son, as P.S. Davies fai'ed te find any other per- son in the house.—The cases were dismissed as there was insufficient evidence. Mr. Griffith Jones said there was great cause for suspicion and warned defendants. ASSAULT CHARuE. Evan Jones, Llanbadarn, summoned Alfred Lee, Cambrian-street, for assault on Friday.— Mr. W. P. Owen prosecuted. Both men had been in the Cardigan Battery. On Friday, plaintiff said, he was in A exandra-road when defendant said: "I want to see you. You have wronged me in the East. He said he was willing to bear the expense and pay for all he had done in Egypt, and Lee struck him on the side of the face. A few persons came along and took him away. He then went down Plas Crug and defendant ran after him and was going to strike him again. Lee pleadeci not guilty ana, m cross-examma- tion, plaintiff asked defendant if he did not greet Lee first and he said he might have done so. Lee, in evidence, said he w going home about 2.30 through Alexandra-road when plaintiff said "He lo. Lee," and added some- thing which he understood to be Come down Plas Crug." Plaintiff pulled off his coat, but som- person came up and took plaintiff away. He had a grievance against plaintiff for trouble which he had brought on him when he was in the army and ninety per cent. of the Cardi- gan Battery could prove his statement.—The Bench considered that Lee had made a das- tardly attack on a disabled man and a fine of El was imposed.
