— FOOTBALL (By En Avant.) tANSWERStTO CORRESPONDENTS. Burial Reform.-I agrees with you. The other day a little girl who is fitaying with me, (which her name is Alice, and her age a, net), told me a thrill'ng story in this fashion Uncle John, do you know, ther3 was a naughty horse which would not do what he was told, and he ran away into a field to play instead of going to his work, and he fell into a hole which the wicked Satan had dug in the field for the naughty horses, and they had to kill him." The fore- going is a verbatim report of the little girl's account of the sad and lingering death of a horse in a field at Garth last week. I suspect Mrs En Avar t had something to do with this importing of Satanic interference into the ad- ventures of this poor Bucephalus, but doubtless her motive was a good one. It is necessary, i, however, for the sake of coming generations, that a correct account of this melancholy tragedy sbculd be published in the columns of the Observer," therefore, with the full connivance of the Editor, I beg to state as foilers:—This'ere lorse wasturne(I outintothe aforesaid field to graze and wrs entitled and fr-llv expected to gorge hisself with the fat of the land in a legitimate way. He appears to have done this ior some »/ time, but then, an unholy desire seized him to explore fresh fields aud pastures new. The con- sequence was that he landed hisself into a small bog, and there he floundered about till he gradu- ally sank up to his neck in the mire, from which f bad position he took entirely new views of life. L, The alarm was given, and a number of men came t and tried to get him out. They failed miserably, f and the horse, which was most distinctly off- | side, was shot in situ. There was a large and [ appreciative crowd of youngsters in the road at ■ the time, and it was decided that there should P be a public funeral for n. en only for that horse P on the following day, the coroner having re- P ti rned a verdict of "Accidental death through P. Miss Adventure," The public funeral for men only took place in the same field where this mel- ancholy event took place. Five men were en- I gaged for a day and a in digging a grave for this poor orphan horse, and at last be was tumbled into the pit which kindly and sympath- • izing friends had dug for him, and thus, without beat of drum or the voice of the bellman being heard in the land, the last scene of all whs con- sumted in the history of this poor hoss,and now he sleeps in peace. R.I.P. 1 have composed a awdl for the occasion. It is as follows:- Not a drum was heard or a funeral note, Ae his corpse to the ramparts we dragged by the heels, His companions which knowed him in the flower of his youth, Bow say, 'E dunno where 'e are.

Re- quiescat in pace. Sic von nobis. On these grounds," Burial Reform," I entirely agrees with you. Spot Stroke Barred.-I did see the great Billiard Match between Parnbam and Tom Leat, ht the [ Castle Hotel, Bangor, last week. Parnbam is not in the same class as Tom Leat and me, and consequently was defeated hip and thigh. He played a joHy game all through, and twice asked me to have a drink, which I steadfastly refused, as I had no money on me, or anywhere else. There is a splendid report of these pro- ceedings in another column of this paper, which • is, nevertheless, sold for the iDsigaificant sum of one peiny to all bona fide travellers. fiybelwr.—You might employ your spare time in trying to find out who sends to the papers those sensational reports about railway outrages on the Bethesda railway. The appearance of these precious reports in the papers reflects seriously on the character of the quarrymen, and inclines the public to think they are a crowd of murder- ous villains. If I were the secretary of the Quarrymen's Union, or t 1 •-> organiser of the Quarrymen's Union, I WI I,ld make a point of finding out who sends tl reports to the papers, and ma&e him giv his authority for them. Naughty Little Twinkle.-I am -ather shy, but I don't mind admitting that I did prophesy that Bangor would draw with Newtown in the first match in the English Cup Competition, and then knock spots out of them in the replayed tie at Bangor. As you are by this time no doubt aware, my "little gamecocks have fulfilled the first part of my prophecy for me, and I have not the slightest doubt that they will make good the second pvrt next Wednesday, when the tie is to be replayed at Bangor. (P.S.—This note is written on Saturday night, the 31st of October, 1896, and the notes will not appear in print before the tie is replayed, but the Editor will support me in the assertion that I wrote this before the tie was actually played). ICARNARVON V. FLINT. This historical affair came off at the Oval, Car- narvon, in the presence of En Avant and a few others, on Saturday, the 31st October aforesaid. Hr Meir, of Colwyn Bay, was the commander-in- chief, and though the kick-off was advertised for 3.15, and the referee had planted himself accurate- ly in the centre of the field about that time. the Dan was not middled till 3.37 p.m. The belli- < gerents were named as follows:- CARNARVON. A1 e Hughes. Oswald Hughes. Treior Jones. I John Davies. A; W. Menzies. Howell Evans. ■ ?> O Edwards, W Morris E Williams T Roberts, W oneB | 0 11 Mallin, D Davies, Jackson 8 George, J Bibby, John Price, James Price, W Lloyd, I T LloyJ, Roberts, it < Davies. tf- FLINT. The 'Nops kicked off towards the Morfa goal, y 44d though James Price repulsed their first attempts, they came again, and Morris giving the bail to D.O. that agile youth sent in a beauty *t long range, which bounded viciously past the upright. I ought to say that Li had not up to Ithis time put in an appearance, and it was gener- ally said that he could not come. Flint came ?^ay nicely from the goal-kick, but Mallin handled, and the free kicK put the men of Carnar- von on the way for the other end. T. Roberts got ~^e ball, which he sent some distance in front of him. Like a bull Roberts of the Flint defence Went for that ball, and the heme Roberts paused Jo see what would happen. What happened was JjWt the ether Roberts clea.i missed the ball, and Roberts had it all to himself. With a gay and "festive bound, he was on it again, and away he hashed goal wards, but he was ever afraid of the Return of the other mm behind him, and shot ^ildly behind, when he might just as well have the Flint custodian. Howell headed the &Oal-kick back and it dropped among the home left lingers, among whom, assisted by the centre, a splendid series of headers ensued, in which John £ ice jovially joined, and subsequently cleared. £ he play, even at this early stage showed the in- herent weakness of the Carnarvon system, for jhough they frequently got through the "F^ 'e- eQce, it was chiefly by means of long' wide. J^hich they only partially understood, for when by this means they pot within shooting distance the Flint goal, there was no united rush after the flying ball, and the backs were allowed to clear 06t their leisure. In spite of the fact that he was forking single-handed, T. Roberts did a lot of &oad work on the left wing, and it was as the out- forking single-handed, T. Roberts did a lot of &oad work on the left wing, and it was as the out- come of some of this that Ellis Williams got the and made a smart run up the centre of the .1 PoAro field. He was furiously charged by Lloyd, but be never flinched, and the outcome of the collision waa that Williams retained possession of the ball and slot hard for-goal, John Price sending into touch. From the throw out, Flint raced away but were fiercely tackled by O. Hughes, and Oswald, running up a bit. sent in a long shot which went behind. A fierce attack on the Flint goal followed the goal-kick, but Flint eventually got to the other end, and Howell gave a corner, which he also cleared in splendid fashion, subsequently stopping another rush up by the Flint right wing in a workmanlike manner. Flint came again, and Alec ran out of goal to meet a splendid centre by Bibby, and while he was out of goal, having missed the ball Oswald headed the ball straight up into the air, and Jackson sent over the bar. A splen- did run up by Ellis WiHiams followed the goal- kick, and again he was met by Lloyd, past whom I he neatly touched the ball, which came to D.O., who, when close in, shot miserably behind. Meet- ing a splendid centre by D. O., who tricked John Price prettily, Li got the ball, and shot in with tremendous force but the Flint custodian kicked clear right off the line, in fact, I almost thought the ball had crossed the line when Davies kicked out. However, no claim was made, and play pro- ceeded on the same lines, till the ball came to Li again, and again he banged in with all his force, Davies this time conceding a corner, which was put behind. Twenty minutes from the start, Howell got the ball and dropped in a lovely centra. Lloyd WPtlt for it, but he missed it, and it rolled to Will Morris, who, with terrific force, banged the ball dead into the net. CARNARVON, 1 GOAL FLINT, 0. Again the ball came into the Flint quarters, and another desperate rally roused the feelings of the spectators to fever heat, and then John Price broke in, and cleared, and away went Flint to the other end, and the home backs being caught nap- ping, George had no difficulty in beating Alec with a good shot. CARNARVON, 1 GOAL; FLINT, I GOAL. There was only a quarter of an hour to play after this, but in that time the 'Nops put in some of the best play of the afternoon, and six minutes after Flint had equalised, Lloyd handled the ball in front of his own goal. The free kick was sent over to D. 0., who was standing close in, but it touched one of the Flint men iB its passage, and then when it did reach the little home outside right, he made no mistake, but with a shot that nearly took the roof off the net, he put his side ahead again amid tumultuous cheering. CARNARVON, 2 GOALS; FLINT, 1 GOAL. And so ended the first half. The second half proved one thing besides the weakness of the Carnarvon system of play; it proved that the men were out of training, and Flint began to show a marked superiority, and what with their superior condition, and their superior style cf play, they put on, and kept up a severe pressure on the home goal which gave Alec. an opportunity of shewing what he could do, and he came out of the ordeal with flying colours. In spite of this, however, it must not be supposed that the 'Nops were idle, the fault with their play was that it had no cohesion in it, but was mainly characterised by clever individuality. Thus it was quite 20 minutes before the next point was scored, and then it came to Flint as the outcome of a tre- mendous attack on the home goal. Suddenly, after a spell of creditable defence, the home backs unaccountably collapsed, and Davies rushed in pell mell, and catching the ball on the bounce, close in, he flashed it past Alec at lightning speed. CARNARVON, 2 GOALS; FLINT, 2 GOALS. Again Flint came up in strong force, and gained a corner, and one of the home men, in trying to clear shot, straight for Alec. Howell, however, kicked into touch, and soon after this Li kicked backwards, and one of the Flint men shot over. Flint got a free kick for hands, and this was dropped into the goal mouth, where Bibby was standing near the upright. Without a moment's hesitation Bibby slapped the ball into the net, but the referee disallowed the point on the ground of offside. At last a sudden rush by T. Roberts carried the 'Nops to the end, and D. O. sent in a spanking shot, which Davies ran out to with both fists doubled. He did not get the ball far away, and he followed it up and sent into touch, and the subsequent throw out was seat behind. Flint soon got up to the other end where one of them put the ball into touch near the home corner flag. The referee gave the throw out to Flint, a serious mistake for the 'Nops, for, as the result of this, the visitors made off for the home goal, and with good passing beat the home defence and arrived in front of Alec in a line, and the ball being passed out to Davies, that youth had no difficulty in defeating Alec again with a rattling good shot, which gave him no chance whatever of saving. There was not much more time to play. and the final whistle went as Carnarvon were en route for the Flint goal, the

FINAL RESULT reading, VLINT, 3 GOALS CARNARVON, 2 GOALS. ENGLISH CUP COMPETITION. BANGOR VERSUS NEWTOWN. This tie was played at Newtown last Saturday. The teams were as uuder :— BANGOR. W Arridge, S Roberts, J, Dunnicliffe, R Williams T. Bnckland, J, Arridge J Roberts, B Jones, C. Jones, H Williams, R Owen, o W Parry, W Nock R A Swetenham. W E Pryse-Jones J P Swetenham E Davies R Gentle H Tucker C Parry B Bees A Edwards, Mr Gough referee'd, and Bangor played down the steep incline ill the first half. In less than 10 minutes from the start. Charlie Jones came away from the side of the field with the ball at his toes. He got well on towards the home goal when he fell, but at that precise moment, Hughy came dancing along, and keeping perfectly cool, he rab right up and beat Edwards with a good shot. As might be expected, this early success lifted up the hearts of the Bangorians wonderfully, and ten minutes later they were again in front of the home goal, and Richie Jones got the ball on the touch line, and running strongly in, he again defeated Edwards with a beautiful shot. BANGOR, 2 GOALS; NEWTOWN, 0 GOALS. This was the state of the poll at half time, and though in the second half the Bangorians had the hill against them, they plodded away, and it only fair to say that they did better against the hill than their opponents had done in the first half. But they could not score again, while the home team put two goals in to their credit. The first of these ought not to have bean allowed if my ir- formation is correct, for, as I am told, the ball had been run out of play, when one of the Newtown players dashed round Williams and Donniclitfe, and dashed the ball (out of play though it was) into the front of the goal, where it was headed through. There was only five minutes to play when Newtown got the equalising goal, and thus saved themselves from a second defeat at the hands of the Banger Schoolboys." and the game ended in a draw of 2 goals each. The crowd wanted an extra half hour, but the Bangor men wisely de- clined, and consequently the tie will have to be replayed at Bangor on Wednesday next.

In the result, they failed, and as a consequence. Flint is once again at the top of the League ladder with a reoord of eight points out of a possible teu. This is very good work, and it will take a good deal of bad play on the part of the Flint men in the future to undo the past. Of course, no one supposes that they wish to undo it, but what they have done so far will stand them in good stead in the time to ceme. In the game at the Oval on Saturday, it may be said at once that in every point that goes to make the superior team. Flint was far ahead of the'NopF. They were, taking them as a whole, well balanced. Individually, they were also superior to the 'Nops, for the forwards were quite as fast as the fastest of the home quintette, while there was not amoag them a single funk. In the half and back divis- ion, they were a long way ahead of the Carnarvon men. In the matter of the custos rotulorum, both teams wete on a level. But v» hile thus superior on the whole to the 'Nops individually, the Flint men were miles ahead of their opponents in the vital matter of combination, and it was this quality which, after the first half hour, began to make visible the superiority all round of the visitors. In the matter of individual dash, and trickiness, the home forwards did now and then show the Flint men a thing or two, but the 'Nops must not suppose that this was anything new to their op- ponents. The fact is,Flint men knew all the little fancy tricks which their opponents now and again drew the applause of the crowd, long ago, and dis- carded them,for the simple reason that they did not pay. It is all very well to twist and aodge about with the ball ever at one's toes, and make an opposing half back look foolish, but it does not pay. Butthe fancy men of the home team never seemed to tumble to this fact, and the result was that they gave the half back's mate time to come up and then the ball was taken off them, and they looked soft. The greatest sinners in this matter were the home forwards, with the exception of Li. The fault of the halfs was a dilatoriness in tackl- ing, though in this respect Menzies must be acquitted of the charge. Davies did a lot of good work, but was not quite so effective as usual. Evans, too, did a lot of good work, but a con- siderable amount of poor stuff too. The home backs were not worth a cent at times, and at the best were not worth much. Alec was by far the best of the bunch,and but for his really meritorious work in goal, Flint would have piled on a bigger score. Yet, I must say that the 'Nops players, for the most part, are a likely lot. The right wingers are fast, tricky, and plucky, So is the centre, and as for the left wing, they are too well known to re- quire any praise from me. Roberts would do well to get rid, if he can, of his penchant for diddling the opposing half back. It pleases the crowd, but it pleases the other side too, for as sure as a player indulges in that game, so sure is he bound to lose the ball. What the 'Nops want is combination. They also want to get out of the habit of giving the ball to the opposing backs, and then standing still till it is cleared away. If they will go in for the long passing game, why do they not play it in its entirety, and when they shoot the ball 'ahead, dash after it as one man, and tumble it and the opposing backs into the net together ? I am sorry to find that Llandudno failed to come successfully out of the ordeal of the English Cup Competition. They must have played a good game though, as they ware only beaten by their powerful opponents by two goals to nil. This is not so bad when we consider that the match was played away from home. The two goals which knocked them out of the competition were obtained in the first half, before they got used to their opponent's style of play. In the second half Liverpool South End failed to again break through the Swift's defence. I What shall be said about Bangor ? Fancy starting from Bangor at 6 o'clock in the morning, and enuring a six hours' journey, and then, with a disarranged team, scoring two goals against Newtown on the Newtown ground, in the first half and finishing up with a drawngame of two goals each! £ It was a {splendid performance, and shows what a plucky lot the Bangor fellows are. Of course, it means something more than a pluck. Ii means good play as well. No other team has scored two goals against Newtown in one match this season. Do my readers remember that some three weeks ago, I said in this column that Bangor would do with Newtown what they did with them last year, viz., draw with them in the first match, and then give them beans when the tie was replayed ? Whether they remember or not, I did it, and that shows what a superb'prophet I am, doesn't it ? Well, I will prophesy again and this time to the effect that Bangor will beat the Newtown men again on their second meeting. The Bolton Football Field,' I see, speaking of Roberts' play in his first match with the Bolton Wanderers last Saturday, saya c, Roberts, the new baek, kicked brilliantly, and repeatedly robbed the Rovers' forwards of the ball." The Rovers referred to were the Blackburn Rovers Reserves. The Rovers won cevertheless, but clearly that was not Robinrs fault. I am told that the Newtown people repeatedly asked foi Edwin and I" on Saturday. Is En Avant with you ?" they asked the Bangor players over and over again. They were sorry I was not there, and so am I, for I should have dearly liked to have seen that match. However, I like the Newtown men because they seem to like me, and if I can persuade Edwin to get off some day, I will run down to Newtown and gire them a good rousing report cf one of their matches.

Two more games in connection with the League were played last Saturday, and the enthusiasm is fastly becoming intense. Penygroes visited Blaenau Festiniog, and Dolgelley came over to Barmouth. Towyn have not as yet played a League Fixture. The game at Blaenau Festiuiog was an exciting one. Both clubs were well represented and it is difficult'to sav which is the strongest team. Mr B. Llewelyn Evans. of Portmadoc, refereed with distinct impartiality. The kick off was advertised 2.30, at the Recreation Field, and a fair crowd had assembled to witness the game. The field is a wretched one. and when the weather is unfavour- able I am afraid playing football will be an im- possibility at Blaenau. However, the field is to be improved in many respects, and opposing clubs may in the near future visit Blaenau with the satisfaction of knowing that they will have a game. The play in the first half of the game was of a tame nature, slightly in favour of the visiting team. who lost three or four chances to score. The second half time brought with it a decided im- provement. The home team soou began to press, and in four or five minutes Griffith Morris, who had played a good and steady game, placed them a point ahead. Then there was a change in the visitors' attack. G. P. Roberts, who had hitherto played half-back, taking the place of the centre forward, and in a few minutes scoring. There followed a stiff fight for the lead, the ball visiting each end of the field in turn. Numerous corners were given, but so obstinate was the defence at each end that no further point was notched, the game, when time was called, being drawn with a goal in favour of each eleven. Taking the game through and through, Penygroes, undoubtedly, gsve a better display than their brother quarry- men, and I should not be surprised to find them high up in the League at the close of the season. It is hardly necessary to add that the match was played in a gentlemanly and sportsmanlike spirit throughout, which remark I should be pleased to appead to my notes of the other league match played on Saturday, if that were correct. For the visitors G. P. Roberts, G. J. Jones, and T. C. Parry played well/and H. Williams, their custod- ian, was always ready when called upon. Griffith Morris, G. W. Woods, and W. Thomas, worked well for Blaenan. I think that Dolgelley will be going to Pen- ygroes shortly, and I sball try and see the match. It will. I think, be a toush one, as both, teams are very evenly balanced. The Barmouth and Dolgelley match was another close one. It seems to be me that there is a trifle too much iill feeliug between theae clubs. The fact that they are neighbours, of course, accounts for some partisan enthusiasm, but the conduct of some people at Barmouth on Saturday was alto- gether unwarrantable, and tended to bring this pastime into disfavour in the eyes of our best sup- porters. It is to be hoped that theT e will not be a repetition of such conduct when the return match is played at Dolgelley. Mr J. C. Edwards, of Towvn, refered to every- body's satisfaction, and I was sotry to observe that one of the Dolgelley players deemed it proper to insult him. A suspension for a month or six weeks would not be out of place in such a case. 11 also noticed that Dolgelley did not appear in uniform colours, which is also, I believe, an offence against the regulators of the League. A fair number of onlookers came togethfer to witness -the game, and if they wanted excitement they were amply repaid, but as far as playing football is concerned, I cannot say that they had a r good exposition of the game. Both teams lacked combination, and the game was more like what we were accustomed to see ten years ago-kick and nish. Dolgelley commenced well, and a goal in their favour was registered a few minutes from the start. It was not long, however, before the home eleven equalised. From this point until half time, the visiting team kept the npper hand, and added two goals. Half time score -Dolgflley, 3 Barmouth, 1. Barmouth gave a much better display in the second half, and had they played as well frem the commencement, the game would have been theirs undoubtedly. The visitors scored three more goals, and the homesters added four to theirs, the game thus ending in a win to Dolgelley by 6 to 5. The field was not roped in, and the spectators occasionally interfered with the game by en- croaching. I certainly de not consider that the players are fairly dealt with unless the ground is roped in. If the Barmouth club can not spare the expense, surely they can afford to have a rope ex- tended from corner to corner behind the goals. Even this would be highly beneficial. Next Saturday Portmadoc go to Towyn, and I anticipate a good game. Seeing that Towyn have already beaten Aberystwyth College, I am in- clined to think that they will win on Saturday. Aberystwyth College have,, I am told, applied Mr permission to join the League. Of course, I they are too late, but still they may join next season.
