THE COMBINATION. BANGOR v. DENBIGH. ANOTHER GRUELLING FOR THE THRUSHES. The Wooden Spoonists of the Combination table, Denbigh, visited Bangor on Saturday, and owing to their unenviable position in the League ladder there was not much to enthuse about their visit. To add to the distinguishing interest, the Denbigh players presented them- selves with two players short. The match, if such it could be called was not worthy of more mention than to say that Bangor scored 8 goals to Denbigh's 1.

WELSH SENIOR CUP. (REPLAYED TIE). CARNARVON UNITED V. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. ANOTHER DRAW: PLAYING PARTLY BY MOONLIGHT. (BY VIGILANT.") The handful of faithful spectators which accompanied the Llandudno Amateurs to the replayed tie at Carnarvon, on Thursday, were more than rewarded by witnessing one of the very finest games ever seen on the Oval. The enjoyment never flagged, and there was a frequency of thrills which fascinated.. The ground, "Ugh!" was simply terrible, and here let me say how I wonder that the Carnarvon Committee do not give a little work to a few of the unemployed in improving and draining such a sodden ground. A veritable sea of mud was around the goal nearest the entrance, and the dis- comfort of standing ankle deep in such "mu- huck" is anything but agreeable A SPARKLING GAME. It is strange to think that some of the best displays I have seen have been enacted on wet and muddy grounds. Such was the match on Thursday. The whole of the 120 minutes display was watched with intense eagerness and natural anxiety, even into the last few minutes, when the moon shed its heams on the scene, and street lamps gradually grew brighter as night came on. There wa-3 a strong touch of romance about the scene. In the darkness, figures like goblins were seen Hying about, now here, now there, and at times in front of the goalies of the respective sides. Now watches were consulted. Never did the few unexpired minutes seem so long. The excitement was intense. Each side had a goal, and the desperate struggle was for the goal which would win the match. But alas, it never came, and, like the election, it was a case of "as you were," and we shall have to see a third meeting, and "wait and see" who meets Bangor in the next round. ENJOYMENT AND THRILLS. I was just wishing Colwyn Bay team could have seen the match. They would have been thrilled with the at-times electric display. The Vicar of Carnarvon, who loves the game, was a more than interested spec- tator, and acknowledged that the pecking of the Canaries by the Cormorants, was the severest they had had for a long while. AN IDEAL REFEREE. Mr R. D. Richards, chairman of the North Wales Coast League, was again the referee, and the manner in which the game was en- joyed, was due to the good influence of Mr Richards. He is fair to a degree, brooks no incipient roughness developing into the harm of the game, and what is more, the players have something more than respectful regard arising out of fear for him. They have an affection for him, and his word of law is administered in such a manner that stern duty appears more like brotherly advice. Long* may he referee I < THE GAME. Llandudno won the toss, and played down the slope, and after Walter Jones had opened out the game, Stallard was at once called upon to show his mettle. This he did in fine style. The Canaries were trying the t la West Brom bang, but it was not success- ful. Llandudno got going by judicious work, and were more methodical than the Canaries, who played more of the bustling and cup-tie game. After a spell of pressure on the backs, a cross pass was sent in by Johnnie Williams, and Jack Brown .netted amidst comparative silence. M.TER JONES EQUALISES. Playing up the slope, the yellow-ones pressed, and Walter Jones equalised amidst great jubilation. The game continued to be of a ding-dong character, and both goalkeepers were kept busy, and displayed their very best style. Better custodianship, (save on one little occasion by the clever young Stallard, when he was, through trying to evade two opponents, one after the other, nearly beaten), one would not wish to see. It was a small defect in an afternoon's display by Stallard, which was simply bordering on the miraculous. Bravo! Stallard, keep your "pecker up," lad. My readers will believe me when I say that the game was an excel- lent one, full of incidents of a delightful nature, under such adverse weather condi- tions. No more goals were scored, and full time arrived with a draw, of one goal each. THIRTY MINUTES MORE VALUE. Although for ninety minutes the boys had played a hard, fast, and exciting game, to give them another half-hour's work seemed cruel. But the rule had to be enforced, al- though "the shades of the night were falling fast," and the moon had raised her lamps above. But what a revival. Every nerve seemed fresh on both sides. The struggle was fiercer than ever, as each side tried for "Excelsior." What deft touches. What narrow squeaks. What fine saves by Jones for the Canaries. Eleverish excitement pre- vailed as a bombshell-like shot from the foot of Cleeve, hissed through the air and sailed for the net. What! in the net? Dear me, no Jones had sprung, panther-like, and diverted the ball out of danger. What shouts of joy and applause. It was truly a great game, and it was only the increasing darkness which made the referee's whistle welcome the cessation of hostilities, and the two clever sides "live to fight another day." Final:— Carnarvon i Llandudno 1.

WELSH AMATEUR CUP. CARNARVON UNITED v. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. VICTORY OF THE CANARIES. (BY VIGILANT.") It is a hard task for two elevens to play two important cup-ties with only a day's grace between. It is still further t harchr task for I the Llandudno team to journey to the County town and expose themselves for two hours on Thursday in a vile quagmire. Why the I' Carnarvon Executive do not do something to lessen the sea of mud, I know not, but the ground was a shocking morass on Saturday, and watching the match was the most dis- 1 agreeable of things. ° HUGH ROBERTS SCORES WITH A HEADER. Llandudno placed the same eleven on the field as they had on Thursday. Mr. R. D. Richards again officiated as referee, and the gate was disappointingly small. The Canaries had Hugh Roberts in the front rank, and it was to this much-admired player that the first goal was obtained." It was a sharp header from a pass on the right, and a very smart performance. The jubilation of the crowd knew no bounds fof it was a great relief to score first after such cruel luck of not being able to defeat the Cormorants on Thursday. The game, as a game, was miles below the one of Thursday, for all the spectators lingered to see the whole of that two hours display. The Amateurs were show- ing a good front, and had quite as much of the game as their rivals. Walter Jones missed a penalty, and Stallard displayed his best form between the sticks. Half-time arrived with the Canaries leading by a goal to nil. THE CANARIES INCREASE THE SCORE. Although playing up the slope, the Cormorants gave a good display, but the defence of Carnarvon was nippy and brusque. The Carnarvon goal had a very nariow squeak from falling on several occasions, and in this respect the Canaries had a good slice of luck. As time woi-e on the Canaries put on a spell of rushing, and R. H. Roberts managed to defeat Stallard. The game ended in a win for the Canaries by 2-0.

FRIENDLY. PENMAENMAWR v. COLWYN BAY CELTS. On Saturday the above teams met at Pen- maenmawr in a friendly match. The ground was in a very bad state and so good football was impossible. Further, it had been ar- ranged to postpone the match, but the Sec- retary of the visiting team had not informed his team, so that when they arrived, the home team were all over the town. This accounted for the small number of specta- tors that watched the game, but those pre- sent were enthusiastic. There was nothing very brilliant about the game, in fact, the visiting team worked hardest. There were two changes in the home team, Morris, the centre-forward, was unable to play, so Archie took his place, and Miller plaved inside right. During the first half Lunt scored No. I from the right in less than fifteen minutes after the game started. Later Archie scored No. 2. while before half- time E. R. Jones scored for the visitors. Half-time: Penmaenmawr, 2 Colwyn Bay Celts. 1. On resumption after coffee, the visitors attacked vigorously, and they were awarded a penaltv, which Edward Parry converted into a goal, making the scores equal. Not to be beaten, the homesters rushed up the field, and Lunt scored No. 3 for the homesters. The visitors retaliated, and equalised again through Hywel Pritchard. After this it was a give-and take game, ac companied by kicking out. The homesters again rushed up the field, and from a lovely pass Charlie Sloane scored No. 4 for the homesters. Final Penmaenmawr, 4 Colwyn Bay Celts 3. NOTES. Several open goals were missed by the home team. Bob Lloyd, the goalie, effected some smart saves, though he was beaten thrice.

That practically all the Llandudno Reserves travelled with the senior team to the county town on Saturday. That sympathy is expressed with Mr H. O.

That it will only be the fourth match to be played by the 'Chers', and as yet they are the only team in the League which has not been defeated. That the Colwyn Bay Gulls have been un- fortunate with the weather on the two last Saturdays in having matches cancelled at Llanberis and Llanrwst. That the Clerk of the Weather has a lot to answer for. That Denbigh has maintained their splendid reputation of showing us how not to win at Bangor on Saturday, and were trounced.

Open Letter. To HAROLD PEARSON, LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. Dear Even-Tempered Harold,—I am sorry to learn that it is probable that you will be leaving Llandudnofor a time owing to business reasons. But of course business comes before pleasure. our genial presence will be greatly missed, for your influence in the game has had far-reaching effects in elevating the tone of the game of which you are an orna- ment of honour and fair play. You have, by your conduct shown that it is quite possible to be a good Christian and a good athlete at the same time. You love the game, and it is a grand record for you to be able to say that you have not missed a cup-tie for Llandudno Amateurs for the past five years. Your uprightness and setose of gentlemanliness hns earned for you hosts of admireis on the Coast, and the name ot Harold Pearson is synonymous with all that is good in the game. As a player you have nosupetior as left half- back, and your tackling and persistence, is a feature of your play. I k-ow you were proud of your captaincy, and your popularity caused you to be re-elected. Many have been the captains of the Amateur's teams, but never was there one who commended the universal respect of his colleagues than your dear old selt. Long may influences for the uplifting of the game such as are at your command, permeate the game which you love so much. —Ever your friend, VIGILANT*

Technical Education in Denbighshire. LLANRWST BEHIND THE TIMES. Mr W. G. Dodd presided at Friday's meet- ing of the Denbighshire Education Authority, held at Denbigh, when Mr D. S. Davies stated that provisions for instruction in cook- in<r &c., for girls, and in woodwork, &c., for ben's, was now arranged for in every district of the county except Llangollen and Llan- rwst. Mr J. E. Powell urged that the authority should take steps themselves to provide tech- nical instruction faculties in the two dis- tricts named, and the Chairman pointed out that Llangollen, which was always in the front in education, had been kept back by an explicit resolution of that Committee. On the motion of Mr Powell, the governing bodies of Llangollen and Llanrwst were in- formed that the Education Committee were now prepared to consider plans for techiic?.i accommodation. A resolution from the Ruthin Town Coun- cil urging the Education Authority to move with a view to the provision of a technical education school now that the consent of the Charity Commissioners had been received as to the sale of the Old Grammar School Buildings, was considered, and, on the motion of Mr D. S. Davies, it was decided to proceed with the purchase of a suitiole site.

Llandudno Landlady and her Visitors. REMARKABLE CASE. A RUSSIAN ON THE WARPATH. On Thursday, at the Llandudno County Crurt, before his Honour Judge Moss, con- siderable amusement prevailed during the hearing of an action in which Mrs. Thomas, lodging-house keeper, Toronto Villa, Win- Ilan-avenue, Llandudno, claimed the sum of £4 3s. 3d from Miss Minnie Williams, 9, Lime Grove, Oxford-road, Manchester, in re- spect of apartments during the latter end of last August. Mr. James Marks was for the plaintiff, and the defendant was represented by Mr. Os- borne (of Messrs. Porter, Amphlett and Jones, Conway, Colwyn Bay, and Llanrwst). Plaintiff's advocate stated that the de- fendant, accompanied by a Mrs. Massey and a gentleman, visited the plaintiff's house on tho 18th August inquiring for a sitting-room and two bedrooms for one week only. Plain- tiff replied that she co.¡Jd not let the rooms for a week only at that time of the year, as there was a great demand for rooms. Even- tually it was agreed that the letting was to be for a fortnight-, and the terms were settled at 50s. per week. Defendant, who was a professional singer, mentioned that she had a rehearsal on the 1st of September, but would pay up to the 3rd of September if she had to go before that date. On the 20th August they came to the house, and the first thing they did was to grumble about the great distance to the town. On the follow- ing Monday, Mrs. Massey told the plaintiff that the gentleman complained that there was a flea or fleas in the bed. (Laughter.) The plaintiff replied that there were none in her house, and whatever fleas there were, must have been brought in by the persons who were complaining. To avoid any difh- culty, a bed was made up in another room, and on the following Friday there was a com- plaint that another flea had been found. An excuse was made that they had to go home, but so far from them going home, they re- turned the following morning, and asked if there were any letters for them, and it was believed they remained in Llandudno to make up the fortnight. Before they left on the Friday, they wanted to pay for one week only, but the plaintiff declined to ac- cept this. The sole reason why they left was that NN-inllaii-aveniie was some distance from the town, and, as the weather was wet, rooms in the town would be more convenient. The plaintiff had conducted a lodging-house in Llandudno for some years, and there never had been any complaint or suggestion that her house was not perfectly fit in every re- spect for the reception of guests. The de- fendant had paid into Court the sum of £ 2 3s. 5d., with a denial of liability altogether. Mrs. Thomas, the plaintiff, corroborated her advocate's statement, and said that Mrs. Massey complained that Mr. Antonoff could not sleep because of a flea, and when witness asked how many he had caught, she brought out one. Cross-examined, the witness said the de- fendant never spoke to her about the insects. Did you notice anything on the sheets ?— I noticed one flea. Before you had the complaint ?—No, after- wards. The Judge In whose bed was that ?-The gentleman's. Mr. Osborne Were you looking for fleas ? —Mrs. Massey told me he was complaining, and then I went to look for them. Did you look into the washstand bowl ?- No. Will you say Mrs. Massey is not sneaking the truth when she will say that she saw twelve ileas which had been put in the bowl by Mr. Antonoff ?—! did nor see that. Did you look there ?-No, I did not. Continuing, she denied having had trouble with a Mrs. Dr. Preston, who was staving at the house at the time, but she complained about the gentleman and the defendant. Mrs. Maggie Jones, Bangor, a relative of the plaintiff, corroborated, and, in reply to the Judge, said she did not find any "fleas there. Replying to Mr. Osborne, she said she had no dealings whatever with the lodgers. Mr. Osborne here intimated that the de- fence was that the furnished rooms were absolutely unfit for occupation. Defendant, who is blind, was given a seat in the witness box, and in reply to her advo- cate said that on the first night at Toronto Villa she did not sleep at all because she felt the fleas. She was bitten by fleas all night, and when she got up in the morning she was uncomfortable and found a bite which had raised a blister on her neck. At that time she had had no acquaintance with such things. There were fleas on the wall and blanket, and a dozen fleas crushed in the wash hand bowl. She then so disinfected herself and turned out everything which was likely to harbour the insects, and she was not very much troubled, but apparently the fleas appreciates the Russians (the gentleman being a Russian). In reply to Mr. Marks, the defendant said that she first of all took rooms at Llanddulas, where they stayed four days. They left that place because Mr. Antonoff could not sleep for the noise of the trains. They wished to be quiet, and for that reason quite appre- ciated Conway Shore. She told Mrs. Thomas she was glad the house was a distance from the town. During the whole of the Saturday afternoon they were on the Conway Shore sitting down and walking about, but she de- nied that they were troubled with insects there. She also denied that Mr. Antonoff went to bed in his clothes. She went to Mr. Antonoff's bedroom because there was such a vile smell there. She thought he would never live in the room. Mrs. Massey, Oxford-road, Manchester, a friend of the defendant, gave corroborative evidence, and added fhat Mr. Antoncff said on the Monday morning, I have been bitten alive. You go upstairs and see them in the wash hand bowl." Witness went upstairs, and found twelve drowned fleas, and there was one alive on the counterpane, and she killed it. When leaving the room she drew up her skirts tightly, but when she got into the dining room, there were two fleas on her, which the plaintiff saw her kill. Replying to Mr. Marks, witness said she had never seen any insects on the Conway Shore. You let Sunday go by without complain- in ?—We did not want to upset Mrs. Thomas. Upset Mrs. Thomas, madame, when you had such a time of it the night before ? It is a wonder anything is alive if the evidence is accurate. Did you ask Mrs. Thomas to go and see ?—On Monday morning I did. Continuing, she said she did not hear any- body else complain. She procured a bottle of Jeyes' fluid, Sanitas, Keating's powder, and six packets of camphor for the rooms. The Judge Did it have any effect ? Witness No, the fleas had got hold of the place. Mr. Marks They were in possession, and possession is nine points of the law. Witness, continuing, said that when she got to Manchester she unpacked her port- manteau in the garden, and she found a bug there. She put it in an envelope and took it to a friend to ask what it was. She knew a flea when she saw one. George Antonoff, who spoke broken Eng- lish, said he was a Russian student at the Manchester University. He denied ever sleeping in his clothes, as he had pyjamas for the purpose. Mr. Osborne How did you get on the first night ?—I was very far from sleeping. Why ?-I don't know, but I felt uncom- fortable. It was a sensation not pleasing to describe. I was itching all over. In the morning did you know the cause ? —I did not realise until the morning, because I could not make the localisation of the sensa- tion. It was all over me, and I could not think it wa. a flea. All Monday night 1 was hunting. What for ?—Fleas. Did you catch any ?—Oh, yes. and I drowned them in the water(-laughter).- but unfortunately, I noticed afterwards that very many of them escaped. They jumped out of the water ?—No, they swam out of the water. (Laughter.) Allowing for those that escaped, how many corpses were there in the morning ?■—About twelve, I think. I found several of them on the way to escape. Continuing, he said that he told them he was going away on Monday, but he returned when he got a telegram that new accommoda- tion was found him. His Honour He could not go away, and be on the war path on Monday night. Mr. Osborne It was on Saturday and Sunday that he was on the war path. The witness here corrected himself. Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, mother ofthe defendant, spoke to Mr. Antonoff visiting her when he returned from Llandudno after the first Sunday. His arm was covered with flea bites. She unpacked her daughter's clothes on her return, and found fleas amongst them. The Judge announced that he would ad- journ the case, for the attendance of the maid servant, who wac; at Toronto Villa at the time, to the Colwyn Bay County Court to be held on January 19tli.

Llandudno Autumn Concerts Committee. APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS- THE NEW SUBSCRIPTION TERMS. Two meetings have been held, since their- re-election, by the members of the Llandudno AutumnjConcerts Committee, who are getting energetically to work in preparation for the four weeks' season next year. The concerts promoted by the Committee will commence on Sunday, October 8th, and will conclude on Sunday, November 5th, a period of 29 days. On one of these days the second an- nual musical festival will take place, but the sub-committee who will have charge of that event have not yet decided upon the actual date. Mr. William Arnold was unanimously re- elected Chairman of the Autumn Concerts Committee, on the motion of Mr. J. E. Hall- mark, seconded by Mr. H. Edwards. Mr. E. P. Morris was appointed Treasurer of the Committee, on the motion of Mr. Hallmark, seconded by Mr. Morris Barnett.. With regard to the Secretaryship, Mr. W. T. Brocklehurst. who had intimated his intention to resign the office, owing to pres- sure of other work, was unanimously invited to re-consider the matter, on the understand- ing that he should employ an assistant. Mr. Brocklehurst was reported subsequently to have complied with the request of the Com- mittee. Arrangements were made for a canvas of the town for promises of subscriptions to- wards the four weeks' series of concerts next season, and it was decided that all sub- scribers of one guinea and upwards should be supplied with season tickets at the same rate for the four weeks' as for the three weeks' concerts this year. That is, three front seat tickets will be allowed for each guinea, or five second seat tickets. To sub- scribers of lesser amounts the tickets will be allotted at the rate of 7s. 6d. for front seats, and of 4s. 6d. for second seats for the four weeks. This is Gd. per ticket more than was charged during the last two seasons, but it must be recollected that there is additional expense in printing, collection of subscrib- tions, and distribution of tickets, in the case of smaller subscriptions than in the case of the larger amounts. The subscfibers' tickets will not admit holders to either of the meetings of the musical festival, though they will admit to the pier. They will therefore be available for the concerts on 28 days, and the value given will be obviously better than ever. The concerts during the fourth week will not cost less than £100, and the Com- mittee hope to present such attractive pro- grammes as to make the whole series as suc- cessful, financially as well as artistically as the concerts of the two previous seasons It is therefore hoped that the townspeople of all classes will give their fullest support to the movement by becoming subscribers. The prices of the ordinary season tickets, sold to non-subscribers will be increased to cover the fourth week, and subscribers' season tickets at the extraordinarily cheap rate above stated will only be issued to sub- scribers who give signed promises to contri- bute to the funds of the Committee, and whose contributions are paid to the collector before the end of August next. There will be no relaxation of this regulation whatever. The Committee hope to make a complete canvass of the town, and subscription forms may also be obtained from the Secretary Mr Brocklehurst, St. Mary's-road.
