FOOTBALL. WELSH ASSOCIATION CHALLENGE CUP. SEMI-FINAL TIE. ABERYSTWYTH v. CARNARVON IRONOPOLIS. These teams met at Oswestry on Satur- day. Aberystwyth won the toss, and de- fended the Weston goal, the Carnarvon men having a bright sun in their faces. Aber- ystwyth were the first to attack, and in the first few minutes a shot from the toe of Marshall went widte of the mark. A free kick followed directly to both sides, neither of which was improved upon. A raid on the Carnarvon fortress followed, a shot sent m by J. H. Edwards being well stepped by Evans. Keeping up the pressure, Aberyst- wyth were given another tree kick, close in. A sharp tussle in the Carnarvon oml fol- lowed, Evans again clearing in fine style. In the next minute the Carnarvon forwards broke away, a good bit of work by Ellis Wil- liams taking the ball down to the Aberyst- wyth end. However, before Williams could steady himself to take a shot he was tackled by G. Evans, who transferred the ball to the centre of the ground. Here it was pounced on by Kinsley; another attack on the Aberystwyth goal being smartly cleared by Charlie Parry. The Aberyst- wyth forwards next broke away, and Whelan, on the right wing, put in a splen- did bit of work. As nearing goal he was hotly pursued hy the Carnarvon half-back division, and he wisely gave the ball to J. Evans, and the latter, with a swift shot, beat Evans, the Carnarvon custodian, the first goal of the match being greeted with 9 loud cheers by the supporters of Aberyst- wyth. From the kick-off in the centre the ball was taken to the Aberystwyth end, a shot at Roose going wide of the mark. The ball was quickly taken to Carnarvon quar- ters, where a couple of fruitless corners fell to Aberystwyth. For a short time a hot siege was laid to the Carnarvon goal, but all attempts to land the ball, in the net were futile. Carnarvon were next seen attacking. The forwards, work- ing well together, took the ball right to the Aberystwyth end, and when close on the twelve yards line Ellis Williams sent in a shot which went the wrong side the upright. The scene of play was again changed, and Whelan, off a pass by Evans, sent the ball across to the oppo- site wing, who seemed to have a grand opening. They, however, failed to take advantage of it, and Morris.and Williams, on the Carnarvon right wing, got down to the South Wales goal; the former shot in, but Roose had no difficulty in clearing. The teams continued to press in turn, but up to the change of ends neither side could get through, and ends were changed with the score at one goal to none in favour of Aberystwyth. On resuming, the Abeiystwyth forwards were soon in front of the Carnarvon goal. Oswald James got nicely placed; bi- fi-iisheu up some very pretty work with a shot at goal, and Evans was somewhat lucky in clearing. The ball was then seint to mid- field whero Whelan was put in pcssession, but be was pulled up. The Carnarvon goal was again threatened, Whelan finishing up with a shot which struck the-side cf the net. The Aberystwyth goal was next visited, a shot by Kinsley going, wide. Coming again, the representatives of South Wales attacked with vigour. James had another good opening, but again the ball struck the side of the net. The venue was quickly changed, a couple of free kicks in succession falling to Carnarvon, neither of which yielded anything tangible. In the next couple of minutes Whelan was again in evidence. One of the Carnarvon halves missed his kick in attempting to clear, and the goal was left open; Williams, however, rushed up and cleared before the Aberys- twyth forwards could get up and shoot in. The ball travelled to the other end, whence it was puickly returned by Charlie Parry, and Whelan had another shie at Evans, the Carnarvon goal having a very narrow es- cape of being captured. A free kick close in followed, and off this G. Barson scored a, second goal for Aberystwyth. From the kick off in the centre, Morris and Williams on the Carnarvon right made tracks for their opponents' goal; nothing but a fruit- less corner, however, resulted. The Carnarvon forwards next broke away, and threatened Roose's position, Charlei Parry relieving with a huge kick. Keeping up the pressure, Ellis Williams compelled Roose to use his hands to clear a hot shot. Strong efforts to reduce the Aberystwyth lead were made by the Car- narvon forwards, but for a time they failed to beat Roose and the backs. At length, success attended the efforts of the attack- ing party, and T. Roberts got the ball into the net. The point was greeted with loud cheers by the crowd, and, encouraged by this success, the North Walians put more vigour in their attack. On several OCC8J- sions Roose's services were requisitioned, but the Aberystwyth custodian was in good form, and kept out all shots. As the game neared its conclusion, the Car- narvon men renewed their efforts to draw level. Several scrimmages in front of goal followed, and as a result of one of these a penalty kick was awarded Carnar- von. The ball was safely sent past Roose, and the score made level. From this to the finish both sides strove hard to get a lead, but failed, and the end came with the score— Carnarvon, 2 goals; Aberystwyth, 2 goals. The following were the teams:- CARNARVON IRONOPOLIS. I Goal, J. H. Evans; backs, Jas. T. Wil- liams and D. O. Edwards; half backs, J. Griffiths, 1). S. Jones, and H. G. Evans; right wing, W. Morris and J. R. Williams; left wing, J*. W. Kinsley and T. Roberts; centre, Ellis Williams. ABERYSTWYTH. Goal, G. R. Roose; backs, C. Parry and G. Evans; half backs, W. Jones, J. H. Ed- wards, and D. M. Evans; right wing, T. Whelan and J. Evans; left wing, O. James and G. Barson; centre, A. G. Marshall. Referee, Mr R. T. Gough, Oswestry. It was decided at a meeting of the council of the Welsh Football Association, held at Oswestry on Saturday, that the semi-final for the Senior Cup between Aberystwyth and Carnarvon be re-played at Towyn on Saturday.

Chapel for twenty years, and during that time he has rendered excellent work in connection with the Sunday School, with the result that for many years Hirael children have been very successful in the "Arholiad Sirol."

Jones (Victoria House) presiding, it was reported that the deputation, which had! waited upon certain shopkeepers in the town, who had not con- firmed with the rules of the Movement, in not observing the Wednesday half-holiday and opening after the agreed hours of clos- ing in the evening, had been very success- ful, and all the shopkeepers in the town were now unanimous upon the question. The result of the interview with the shop- keepers was received with considerable satisfaction. Mr Davies proposed that a branch of the National Union of Shop As- sistants be formed in the town.—Mr Hazel- wood was of opinion that such a branch was not needed in Bangor. He did not think that the apprentices could pay the sub- scriptions. — Mr Davies said that appren- tices could join for 2d a week. The union had a private account towards local funds. -Mr Turner remarked that there were several assistants in the town who had jcined other clubs.—The Secretary (Mr J. G. Jones) did not think that they could have different unions in a small town like Bangor as suggested. He considered that the matter should be adjourned to the next meeting.—The Chairman said that the feel- ing of the meeting was very mixed, and to all appearances very little was known of the question.—Mr Fred Watson moved that a local association be formed in connection with the assistants in the town; and that the yearly subscription for assistants should be Is and 6d for apprentices.—This pro- posal, however, found no seconder. Even- tually it was decided, upon the proposal of Mr W. R. Watson, to defer the whole ques- tion to the next meeting.—It was agreed to hold a smoking concert to augment the funds of the movement. PETTY SESSIONS. — Tuesday. Before Messrs J. Hughes (chairman) and T. Ro- berts (Aber). RAILWAY PROSECUTION.—A hawker named John Rowlands, residing at 2, Hen- drewen road, Gianadda., Bangor, was charged with travelling from Llanfair P.G. to Bangor without having previously paid his fare.—Mr Fenna, who prosecuted on be- half of the London and North- vv estern Railway Company, stated that on Wednes- day, March 14th, the defendant arrived at Bangor railway station by the train due at 7.5 p.m. Ticket Collector Swan was on duty by the exit gate, and he noticed the defendant passing hurriedly out, at the same time giving his ticket upside down to Swan. The ticket collector at once looked at the ticket, and found that it was one from Holland Arms to Llanfair P.G. He overtook the defendant and asked him to return to the station. He was questioned in the ticket collector's office, and in reply said that he was very sorry. When asked why he did not pay his fare, the defendant said that he did not know whether he was at Bangor or Llanfair P.G. There could be no doubt, Mr Fenna main- tained, that the defendant intended to go en to Bangor.—Edgar S. Swan, Rhyl, and Joseph Hughes, station master, Bangor, gave corroborative evidence. — Detective W. A. Hughes said that he saw the de- fendant with reference to the matter, and as an excuse he said that he had booked Horn Holland Arms to Llanfair P.G., a-d got out at Bangor station, under the im- pression that it was Llanfair P.G. station. He only found! cut his mistake when he left the station.-The defendant, who did not appear, was fined 10s and costs. CHARGE OF FURIOUSLY RIDING A BICYCLE.—Samuel Jones, a student, re- siding at Hill street, Upper Bangor, was charged by D.C.C. Harris with furiously riding a bicycle.—John Evans, cab driver, 40, Dean street, stated that on March 9th he' saw a person riding a bicycle furiously past the cabstand near the town clock. There were two cyclists, and one of them ran against a child, who was knocked down. When the child was knocked down, witness called upon the cyclist to step. Instead of doing so he went straight away. He was travelling as fast as a horse could gallop, from twelve to fourteen miles an hour.- Cross examined by the defendant: Wit- ness could not identify defendant as the cyclist that rode past him.—George Rob.n- on, cab-driver, said that he was near the cabstand at the same time described by the last witness. The cyclist was going very I fast.—D. W. Davies, 19, Brick street, said I that he saw a man riding past the cabstand at the time mentioned by the previous wit- nesses. The cyclist was riding very fast, and knocked a child down. The child, who was just stepping on the parapet, was ser- iously injured about the* head. Miss N. Williams, 68, Caelleppa, also saw a cyclist riding rapidly past the cabstand, and can- ning into a child who was coming from school. Though the child was knocked down, the cyclist' did not stop. Hhe iden- tified the defendant as the man. Miss M. A. Roberts, 1, Union street, Bangor, gave evidence to the effect that the two cyclists were passing the cabstand, one riding very rapidly. She identified the defendant as the man who knocked the child over.- Cross-examined: The defendant tried to avoid knocking the child over .-P .C. Mason (57) said that he went to see the defendant, who admitted that he had knocked the little girl over with his bicycle, but he did Dot think that he was riding furiously- The defendant maintained that the rate he rode at was five miles an hour. The day in question was a market day, and he thought that by going past the town clock ne would avoid the traffic. He was just turning round the clock when he saw children in the middle of the road. He rang his bell, and the majority went to the parapet. He could not see the children on the left side of the roadi on account of the cabs. At that time he was going at about four miles an hour, and when he had cleared the last car a little girl rushed from the side into the parapet on the other side. He tried to pass her, but failed. He wanted to know whether it was rig-, for Superintendent Harries to bring forward the matter of knocking a little girl over, as he was not summoned for that.-D.C.C. Harris: I brought it to show that he was riding to the danger of the public. — By a magis- trate: Why didn't you stop and! inquire about the child?—The defendant: I be- came so confused that I did not know where I was. If I had the presence of mind to stop, I would have done so; but I am very sorry that I did not do so. Continuing, the defendant stated that he saw the parents of the chilû, and made inquiries about the little one. He explained how the thing happened, and the parents found that it was due fto an accident. He had been cycling for four years, and had never been previously accused of riding furiously. He did not think that he was riding above the rate allowed in all big towns. On account of the late delivery of the summons he had been put to great expense. — The Bench found the defendant guilty of riding reck- lessly, and imposed a fine of 10s and costs. DRUNKENNESS.—For being drunk and disorderly in High street, Mesech Roberts, joiner, Gianadda, was fined 2s 6d and costs, or .in .default seven days.

Two policemen made an effort to stop the animal, but failed. Grasp- ing the situation, Mr John Oldfield rushed to the animal's head, and succeeded at great personal risk in bringing him' to a stand still.

The Eryri Hale Voice Choir. The following additional extracts from toS 5 concert given in Northamp- Rrv f t Tmh "nd Wolverhampton by the 7 iL Choir (conductor, Pi° n Wl]liams), will, no doubt, prove lUere^tmg to lovers of music: — The Kettering Evening Telegraph" says: — Two rich musical treats were provided in the Victoria Hall, Kettering, on Friday, when the magnificent Welsh Choir, one of the finest in the world, gave two grand con- certs before delighted audiences. The choir numbers about fifty, the vocalists be- ing all males, conducted by Mr John Wil- liams. The beautiful singing of the choir was a surprise to the audience, whose ex- pectations were high, but these were more than surpassed; whilst the playing of the veteran harpist, Mr Aptommas, was indeed magnificent. At the afternoon concert the programme was the same as was given by the choir at Windsor. Everv item was vociferously applauded, and the audience had an excellent opportunity of judging the merits of the choir and to see wherein lay the charm of their singing. Evidences were not wanting to show the splendid mauner in which the choir had been trained, whilst their voices blended teautifullv, and the way that they dis- coursed the Welsh airs and English choruses captivated one and all. The selections of the veteran harpist were of a varied nature, and he proved his right to be reckoned still as one of the foremost executants on'this beautiful instrument.—At the evening per- formance the hall was crowded in every part. The Rev. D. Stephens introduced choir, remarking that as the English, in earlier days conquered their country, they in return were coming to conquer the hearts of the English by sweet sounds. The latter conquest he regarded as the nobler of the two. The people of Kettering had been captivated by Welsh eloquence in their pul- pits, and that night he was sure that the hearts of those present would be captivated by Welsh song. It was interesting to note tnat all the singers, with a very few ex- ceptions, were working men. The pro- gramme was then proceeded with, prac- tically every item being vociferously ap- plauded, the veteran harpist especially proving a favourite with the audience, and having to respond to an encore for each selection. In addition to the prc gramme rendered in the afternoon,, the choir ren- dered a sailor's chorus, "Codwn Hwyl" Mr Roberts sang "The death of Nelson" and "The holy city"; Mr H. Jones sang "0 ruddier than the cherry;" and the duet, "Flow gently Deva," was given by Messrs Joneg and Roberts. The audience through- out were most enthusiastic, encores being numerous. The singing was of a very high order, and the attention and response to the conductor's baton most noticeable. The visit of the choir to Kettering will not quickly be forgotten. The following is from the "Midland Evening News" (Wolverhampton): — On Saturday afternoon and evening the Royal Welsh Choir, under the conductorship of Mr J-)bn Williams, gave two most enjoy- able concerts in the AAgricultural Hall, Wolverhampton, to large audiences. The choir, consisting of over 40 voices, recently appeared at Windsor before the Queen, several members of the Royal family, and the German Emperor. They a*e now on tour accompanied by the celebrated Welsh harpist, Aptommas, who has had the hon- our of playing before the Queen and other European Sovereigns on various notable occasions in his history. The choruses and part-songs by the choir were rendered in a delightful manner; indeed, the vocalism of the combination was a revelation, the rich- ness of tone, power, and range, and mar- vellous precision in obedience to the con- ductor's baton, being marked, and the audience were roused to tremendous enthu- siasm at each effort. "The Men. of Har- lech," "Land of my Fathers," and .God bless the Prince of Wales," sung in Welsh, were grandly given. The performance of Ap- tommas on his harp charmed everyone pre- sent, and he had to respond in almost every ir;stance to a recall.

LATEST NEWS (CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY.) "OBSERVER" OFFICE, THURSDAY. MOVEMENTS OF THE ENEMY. Bloemfontein, Tuesday, 4.45 p.m. Following the conference at Kroonstad be- tween President Kruger and Mr Steyn the enemy are now reported to be moving in all directions towards Bloemfontein. The burghers are greatly elated at their recent success, and the Free Staters are being re- organised through the Republic.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR LADY- SMITH. TRAIN DERAILED. Ladysmith, Tuesday night. A railway accident resulting in serious damage to rolling stock occurred near Lady- smith this morning. A heavy train had brought up a large detachment of Imperial Light Horse from Durban, and after the passengers and goods had been disembarked it was at once sent back. When rounding a sharp curve near Klip River gorge, be- tween Ladysmith and Nelthorpe stations the cfngime ran off the metals followed by seven carriages. The scene of the accident is a most danger- ous spot, and is situated immediately above the Klip River. The line bad previously been disturbed by the Boers during the siege op- erations, and the accident is ascribed to the part of the metals suddenly giving way. The seven derailed vehicles were more or less extensively damaged. The train had very few passengers at the time, and these e6caped with minor hurts. The traffic to Ladysmith, however, was interrupted for three hours.
