On Saturday last Denbigh entertained Holy- bead, the runners-up for the League championship last season. Denbigh made two changes from the selected team, Luther Evans playing instead of R Hughes, who is laid up with influenza, and the old captain, R T Williams, playing instead of Tom Davies, who was unwell. Holyhead brought a strong team down, with the full intention of winning. The referee was Mr E LI Williams, Bangor, and the teams were: Denbigh: Sam Griffiths, goal; Lewis E Rees and J S Williams, backs L Evans, T A Davies (capt), and R T Williams, half-backs; E E Davies, W E Hughes, J Ellis Edwards, H Randles, and D Berwyn Davies, forwards. Holyhead: H Williams, goal; W H Parry and R Ellis, backs; W Taylor (capt), W T Jones, and W Brown, half-backs; W S Owen, R C Jones, J Rowlands, H Brown, and J Jones, forwards. Denbigh won the toss and played down the slope. The game opened in a sensational manner, for, directly from the kick-off, the homesters got down the field together, and a I corner was forced by Berwyn Davies, off Parry. It was well placed, but the centre- half relieved. Holyhead got away, but nothing substantial resulted, Denbigh at length getting away on the left, and Davies sending in a fine centre, but the home pivot sent over the bar from an easy position. From the goal kick the homesters got down on the right, but, when Davies was favourably placed, Hughes got off- side and spoilt a good opening. Griffiths was next called upon to save off Rowlands. The visitors were not long in returning, for Rees miskicked, and Griffiths again saved off Row- lands. A nice forward rush was clip..tced by Parry, and T A Davies had a good try aD scor- ing, the ball travelling a trifle wide. Following good work in front ot the visitors' goal, Evans returned and Edwards found the net with a shot which gave the custodian no chance of saving. The visitors were not long in retali- ating, R C Jones and Rowlands, by good play, taking the ball up, the latter shot in, and, Griffiths clearing weafeiy, he had no difficulty in equalising with a grand shot. Denbigh per- sistently attacked the visitors' goal, and Ed- wards sent in a lightning drive which the cus- todian was lucky to save by lifting over the bar. To the surprise of all, however, the referee awarded a goal kick. Berwyn Davies had a good run down, but finished badly. This did not deter the homesters, who kept the visitors penned in their own half, and the cus- todian made a very lucky save off Edwards, after fine work on the home right. Holyhead broke away on the left wing and crashed the ball against the not, outside the posts, after a fine run, and at the other end E E Davies repeated the performance. The visitors again rallied for an attack, and R T Williams headed away when a goal looked certain. J Jones, the outside left of the visitors, was the most dan- gerous man on the Holyhead side at this stage of the game, but he sometimes finished badly. During an attack on the Holyhead goal T A Davies was hurt in a collision with W T Jones, but soon resumed. A fine centre by Owen, who rounded R T Williams well, was nearly turned into accuunt by J Jones, but the ball travelled a trifla wide. Half-time arrived after Williams had saved finely off Edwards, and Holyhead were advancing when the whistle qed. Half-time score: Denbigh 1, Holyhead 1. Things looked black for Denbigh at the com- mencement of the secoud half, when, owing to a mistake between the home backs and half- backs, R C Jones had the goal at his mercy. Griffiths hesitated as to what he should do, and the forward had no difficulty in putting the visitors a goal to the good. After this reverse, the homesters strove hard for the equaliser, and E E Davies sprinted up and sent in a fine shot, which the custodian cleared. The venue was changed, and Rees conceded a corner from which H Brown missed an open goal. Fine defensive play by T A Davies was the means of sendiDg E E Davies away, and he had very hard-luck in not scoring. Holyhead attacked, 6at a free kick against R C Jones for impeding TLID goalkeeper put Berwyn Davies in posses- sion. He put in one of his characteristic runs, and, taking the shet on the run, came very near scoring, the ball hitting the upright with terrific force, and glancing in just as the goal- keeper got his hand to it. Llew Rees returned the ball from midfield as a result of a goal-kick, and placed Berwyn Davies again in possession. He centred accurately to Edwards, who equal- ised the scores amidst tremendous cheering. Davies again repeated the performance, but Taylor stopped him by handling the ball, the free kick proving of no material advantage. After good work on the visitors left wing, B C Jones once more put his side ahead, and im- mediately afterwards Hughes centred for Edwards to score his third goal. Holyhead fought hard for the lead after this, and a oorner was forced off J S Williams, which ended in Evans giving another. This was not taken in the orthodox manner, as J Jones passed the ball to Brown, but the manoevre did not prove successful, Brown being given off-side. Holy- head continued to hold the upper hand in the closing stages, and forced several corners, but the defence of the homesters held out, and in the last few minutes Denbigh broke away twice, but to no avail, and the game ended in a draw. Final score: „ Denbigh 3, Holyhead 3. QQLWYN BA.Y RESERVES v. DENBIGH CHURCH GUILD. This 'match was played on the Penrhos ground, in a gale of wind, last Saturday. The visitors had a strong team, but the Bay were compelled, at the last minute, to make several Changes, owing to those chosen failing to put in an appearance. Owing to the late arrival of the Denbigh pi tyers, a start was not made until a quarter to four. The teams lined up as follows :— Colwyn Bay Reserves: W C Roberts, goal H HAGHES and R J Lloyd, backs; "Ned" Gc.rti'ihs (capt), q. Hughes, and H Pritchard, half-backs W H 4ughes, F Bond, W Jone3, R Jones, and J P DASHES, forwards. Denbigh Church Guild: W S 3ayle, goal D Hughes and E Hughes, backs; G B Pilgrim, D Graham Evans, and W LI wis, half-backs; Fred Lloyd (capt). E Barnett Jones, W Rawson Hughes, T D Newell, and T G Eiwards, forwards. Referee Mr C J Thorn v*, Bingor. Denbigh won the toss, and elected to play against a strong wind, which was blowina, from the Chapel end. From the kick-off. Griffi hs and H ighes gave tieir forwtrii PJ33)33BA el and the ball was smartly run down the fild. Considerable pressure was exerted on the Denbigh goal, and in the first ten minutes the ball crossed the half-way line but twice. A breakaway by the visitors was checked BY G Hughes, with a clever overhead kick, after which the first attempt to score was made, Bond hooking the ball into the goalmouth, buc. Sayle managed to effect a save. In pite of the ) fact that the Bay were having the better of the play, they were lamentably weak near goal, and several palpable chance-; were The Denbigh backs were forced to CONCEDE corners, from one of which J P Hughes ju"t missed heading through. Following a mitkick by a Denbigh half, W Jones ran in and scored, after thirteen minutes' play. From 'hs kick- off the Bay pressed once again their backs were playing on the half-way line, so convincing was their superiority at this juncture, although they received much assistance from the wind. The combination of their forwards was scircely I ideal, however, so Bond and W H Hughes changed places. Later in the game the latter went centre-forward, W Jones taking the out-ide-right position. A free kick was nicely taken by Pritchard, but after bobbing about the goal for several seconds the ball landed on the top of the net. Denbigh now asserted themselves, and, Pilgrim cleverly checking T IE Bay left wing, a determine:1 attack WAS made on the home goal, Roberts tffec ing a good save, though brought to his knees. The players found it difficult to keep a foothold on the silippery turf, and the Guild spoilt a promising movement by over-running the ball. Hughes and Lloyd were playing too far up tlim field, consequently a breakaway by Denbigh was always dangerous. After Koberts had saved twice in succession, in fine style. a good run by the Bay was spoilt by off-side. From the free- kick the visitors attacked in earnest, and their halves initiated a fine movement; ifoe ball wa* sent across the field from the lefn wing, and the Bay left tack, missing his kick <">mpletely, let in Fred Lloyd, who gave Roberta no chance with a fast ground shot, thus equ-tlisiiiz seven minutes from half-time. Play now brightened up, and each end was visited in turn. Griffiths just failed with a Irmg shot, while on the stroke of the interval Pilgrim Rived a certain goal by charging J P Hughes over in the nick of time. Half-time Colwyn Bay 1, Denbigh 1. Play in the first half had been fairly interesting, but the wind exercised a strong influence on the game, in the Bay's favour. With the wind at their backs, however, it was thought that Denbigh would be equally agressive, and so it proved. On resuming, the first movement of note was a fine run by Fred Lloyd, who easily outpaced his oponents, only to send the ball over the bar. Denbigh were frequently pulled up for offside, their forwards on several occasions waiting in their opponents' half for passes from their backs. The Bay lost, one fine opportunity of scoring by omitting to rush Sayle, when he fumbled the ball in clear- ing. Denbigh then attacked in determined fashion, and after Lewis, Graham Evans, T G Edwards, Tom Newell, aud Rawson Hughes had given a short exhibition of short passing. Barnett Jones scored from close in, ten minutes after the re-start. This seemed to put the home side on their mettle, and, rushing down, they obtained a corner. This was well placed by Griffiths, but the ball was quickly returned to the other end, and Roberts had to run out to clear. G Hughes was then responsible for a fine effjrt, but the bali went wide. The backs on both sides were playing a good game, and the defence was vastly superior to the attack. There were few incidents of note for some time, the exchanges being even in character. Seven minutes from THE close Griffiths bad no difficulty in placing his side on level terms, easily converting a penalty, given for bands, against Walt Lewis. The Guild had the better of the play from now, until the whistle blew with the result: Colwyn Bay 2, Denbigh 2.

FOOTBALL GOSSIP.I
FOOTBALL GOSSIP. JIEN AND MATTERS OF THE MOMENT. I By B. BENNISON. ILLUSTRATED BY JACK DODWORTH Well, we have en the Australian amateur Rugby footballere at play, and opinions as to their ability and the general prospects of their tour arc being eagerly sought. I saw them at Devonport, and, frankly, 1 was disappointed. Mind, I do not wish to write them down as only a moderately good lot. That would be unfair after their firot match, but there wr,6 something lacking in their play which seemed to suggest to the ordinarily shrewd observer that they cannot be compared with either the Now Zealanders or the South Africans. At Djronport, at all evQrjt, Iicy were only to- gether when they embarked upon combina- tion, and their attempts to work on a well- orgnrrised plan very often ended in failure. It may be that they were unduly anxious to do well against Devon, and a<; a riesult did not find their usual form, but when they set out to play a combined game there was little that electrified the spectators; none of those short, &Ila.-p, immensely effective movements JIUST BLOOD which characterised the work of -ft-lier j Colonial teams- I did not see a second Jimmy Hunter, ir a Dobbin—(little s-ubtle ] men who were atfeptw at feinting and side J stepping)—at halt'-ba^k. and Carmichod at back was so troubled with the sun that he had not the opportunity of chewing whack he can really do. This much it- certain, however;, that E. Mandible., fewtith, Russell, and! Hickey at threir- fu-avtes# are the surest of tacklers. and among the swiftest three-quar- ters one call wish: to see. Mandible will vtay likely be one of tiae- big ClJefl of the tour. He ha« heaps of pace.. He run# straight for ihe line and fears no opposition. In this respect it must be said thar he Eke each and every one of his colleagues. I luave never seen sucli' a daring body of men. When they tackle they. o;pore neither themselves* nor their opponent's, and it is because they figih so hard. coupled! with the fact that every one of them can remi fast that will inae them « forffiklable team- It is most unfortunate that in their first* match P. Burge. one of their best forwards^, had his leg broken..

Messenger has lx-en very | slir to discuss the,, prospects of the tour; but c from what I havp learirt of the men I seri- oitsiy doubt whether they will be anything: ? like so strong as-tHe "-Afl Blacks" last sea<- jj son. However, we shall see. They will cer- jj taialy try to &0 one better than the amateursi. Manchester United, although for same -ren,son or other the oflicials have been dis- posed to. chop and change, at the moment of writinj ar the only team who have not been beaeii in the First League. Birming- liaiii have yet to meet with a reverse ilL the Second Division, and Southampton have: been all-compering in the Southern competition. Newca stle United have met with theic first fall. Liverpool are playing much good f fief ball, and, in, the opinion of many excellent judges, are immeasurably fietter than twelve month" ago. Astoll Villa have been to Stamford Bridge to surprise Chelsea in a most dis- agi»*able way; and I expect to hear 1.11.e Chel- sea jpeople on the lookout for at leastt another half-back. If Aston Villa can keepi up the forii they shewed agait Chelsea they will be well in the running for first position. Jliddlesbrougfi are playing in a v&ry disap- pointing style, though in extenuation it must i pointed out tl,(tt ;hev have had no sort luck with their players. They should improve, for they have inany capital reserves. Sunderland e re now more consistent. The two Nott'ng- ham clubs arc doing very badly. In the race for promotion Birming- ham are well- in front, and Bolton Wanderers, despite one or two serious slips, are in second position. I am sur- prised at Oldham Athletic. On paper they appear to hove THE RACE FOR PROMOTION. a stronger team than last season, and their failure against I Glossop. who. by the way, have just secured the services of Morrison, was an psto.undioK one. I am teli. however, that Glossop are going to have one of their very best seasons. It would certainly seem like it after their defeat of Oldham. Fulham are doing better than I thought they would do, and much of Tottenham Hotspur's play has been surprisingly good. J. T. FITCHIE. The pity is that Vivian Woodward, who is playing as I well as ever he did, cannot afford the time to take part :n ¡ many games away from London. The two n e w- comers to their First Division Bradford City and Leicester Fosse-are improv- ing. but neither team is M strong as it might b e. Bradford in the Second League a.re just doing mode- rately. But the sea- son is young, and there has been so much enterprise shewn in the York- shire town since Association has been buch a great conquest that both teams will be fitted for the company they keep. J. T. Fitchie. who has won such popularity in Scotland after leaving Woolwich Arsenal to play for Queen's Park, has made a wel- come return to the Plumstead team, and it is pleasantly significant that in his first game with the Arsenal he scored the winning goal. Fitchie should give much needed strength to the Arsenal forwards. He will have an excel- lent partner in Neave, one of the best young left-wing players we have.

THE STRAWBERRY PASPBLRRY. ) to two feet, and, as may be seen from my illus- tration, has many points of resemblance to the two plants from which it takes its name. The brrrjts are large and be:iut>iful in appearance, but, unfortunately, when raw are tasteless. They make excellent jam. however, when well sweet- ened and judiciously ujixed with other fruit. A little experimental cultivation would not be ex- pensive. and I think if proper care were taken the results would be found most satisfactory. IIOGGED-MAXED HORSES. Not so many years ago one scarcely ever prnv a horse with a hogged mane. An odd horse with a scanty mane would be hogged—there might be perhaps throe or four in a hunt. and when a man was relating the incidents of a day's hunt- ing to a friend who had not been present he would prolxablv say that so-and-so was riding his "hog-mar.ed horse." Now nearly every hunter is hog-mnned- at any rate, nine out of ten are, and in fashionable countries the percentage is greater. The object, of course, is the same as trimming the horse's tail. to make a commcn- 'ored horse look like a well-bred one. but it really deceives no one. A short, thick, common neck is a short, thick, common neck, whether it has a mane or it has not. And even when a horse is a little plain about the neck he looks much better with a properly-kept mane than he does with his mane hogged, whilst a ewe necked horse with a hogged mane- is an abomination of ugliness. The mane is a protection of a very sensitive part of the horse's body from the weather, and there is no doubt, as a writer in the Mark Lane Exjjress points out, that horses suffer considerably from their manes being e hogged when the weather is rough. And bes.Mcs, the mane is of great use to the rider. I do not for a moment wish to infer that my readers be- long to that division which holdti on by the mane. But the mane is a great assistance when a man wants to mount in a hurry; it enables a man to ease his horse considerably at little in- convenience to himself when he- has a very steep hill to rise, and it may be of considerable use in getting purchase to got clear of a horse after a fall. It takes quite three years to get tJ. horse's mane to lay properly after it has been hogged, if indeed it ever doer so. 00' SOME POULTRY ITI-,TW.. The condition of chickens can be improved by shutting them up in a shed and feeding liberally f on nutritious and highly-fattening foods. It is Ijest not to shut up a large number of birds to- gether, and not to exceed twenty, whilst half as ui^ny would do still better. Cockerels and pul- lets must not be penned in one lot, and the nearer all the fowls in a pen are to another in breed, age, and size the better. Chickens may lox. penned in any kind of enclosure where they will be undisturbed, and where they cannot take too much exercise, but a shed or covered pen is Wst, as the- floor will keep dry, and the birds will be all rhe more contented from being shut XAvav from the sight of birds roaming about the yards. There are opportunities of feeding a greater variety of stuffs to fowls in pens than to t&oae in coops, and beginners will bej TOJII ad- vised to u.ic the former. Whole grain may be given occasionally, although it is not recom- mended unless the birds become listless- and shew marked loss of appetite, and green food may also be fed occasionally as a pick-me-up. Cleanliness and thorough ventilation iio, the house arc absolute essentials to success,. and it not be .-upposcd for a moment, that the "pen system of fattening is one which lends it to carelessness and the shirking of duties which ought to be performed with machine-like regularity. The best time to kill old hens- or to sell them to dealers for killing, is just: as they begin to moult, for they will then have'Wsased laying and yet will not have lost condition: But if they are allowed to run for two or three weeks after the moult has set in. they bccome thin and scraggy, and are of very little use for eating. It is rot always possible to know by the-appear- I ance- of fowls as they run about the yard whether moulting has begun or not; but the signs, other than the actual casting of the feathers, by which a hen in moult may !>»-recog- nised. are. says the Agricultural Gazette, mop- ishness, loss of appetite, and paleness of head and comb. If the birds are examined while on the- roost, those moulting can be detected, be- csuw their crops will be only half-full, whilst hens. which are in full lay. and have not begun to moult, will have full crops at roosting-tinae. DADDY LOXGLEGS. This tarsnp fly is so inoffensive in appearance that I believe it almost escapes destruction. Its clumsy flight and slow, waddling crawl' makes one believe it to possess all the benevolence- and iiarmlessnesi that the name would suggest. Un- fortunately, the grub from which it gro'.n\ is that wry destructive pest called the Leather Jacket. Heaps of old potting soil, refuse, and particu- larly the leaf-mould heap. will be found to abownd with the ugly grubs, and the soil from these should be used with great care, by exami- nation. if for seed-sowing, or valuable seeds will be spoilt by the grubs tunuelling all over the f: pans iiist beneath the surface. Gas-lime is a good antidote in the open ground, and frequent use of I the roIr lengthways and crossways on the lawns. 1 to crush the grubs while feeding on tiie Gras- j''foots. Starlings are their greatest enemies '-among the birds, and should be encouraged. But I of course the most, effective means <i&destruction is to attack the flies. They are- very easily || caught, and much future damage may be savea j'by liilline them before the eggs are- laid, ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. i W. R. T.I have dealt wirS your inquf-y.
