In the oiieuing stages of the ganie Kvan Hughes, Carnarvon, was touled, and a froo kick was awarded the homesters, who flwoTjped down on the visiting delerice, the final eHlin caiding hig-h over the bar. bm/ith for the visitors, next took up the running, all raced along the left, but ho was "on:j checked by J un 'lVovor, frojn Y. -) foot the txili travelled at a quick rate until it reached Bohanna, who shot wide. Ilngii Roberts tcariarvoii) next made his presence felt, and landed a splcnuid phot jiust abovo tl.o cross-bar. Ding-dong play followed, and Carnaron at this I)eiiod not al- lowing lor the strong wind, shot high and wide. Before Jong Johnny Jones 'rom Robert3 executed a fine bit of taokling, and the former delivered a. shot which missed the billet by inches only.

This was cleared only to be followed by a raid on tfn visitors' territory, which ended with an extremely high shot from T"ni Roberts a few yards from goal.

The ball was once more put in motion by Carnar- von, who raced along and conceded a corner. This was partly cleared, and Evan Hug1 ties suddenly nipped in between two of the visi- tors, and scored Uie equalising goal with which Ha!!wood had not the slightest -chance. In- spired by this bit of relaying, colwyn Bay press- ed, and one of the forwards was foulded within the dreaded area. MoCann toolc the penalty, and sent wide. The next, run ended in J.

Tho first move of R-C-LO was by Bauigor, t'ho left wiiiig- making a mice run, but Oiivex finished wide. R. H. Roberts, B<il:>g".yr' latest eapture, was scon in evidence, H.

The place was remarkably fast, a.nd boiii gcal- keeper's had a busy time of it. WillaaanB chipped ac.rose a high eliot, and the ball lamdted on Freemaji's head, and was going etriaaight for the net wlhcn Ted Owen sprang up and saved. Up to this 83ge OIÍ the game the C«Btrian«j were undoubted ly the better team. H. Owesi took agl- Taaitage of a æp by tihe Chester full backs, and be kicked the ball well ahead. A mad rufth ensued, H. Owen being tho leader, and ho rail tho ball (practically into the net. It was a g-naid effort, qllrto detervrng of the applause whikh greeted it. A minute later H.

A few minutes later Hwfa himself wan aajident- aily rendered hors die eom;ba<t by Gcede, but he noon came round. There wae now a Ioij^ spc-il of uniiitereeting play, but a stinging fhot by H.

BEAUMARIS v. LLANRWST. ROOSTERS HOPELESSLY BEATEN. Intense excitcment prevails in Beaumaris as to the championship of tHe North NValcg Coast League, and the destination of tho "North Wale.9 Chroniclo" The "Beaus" are well in the running, but so are Holyhead and Bangor Reserve, and after all the goal aver- ago might be the deckling factor. THe visit ot Llanrwst on Saturday naturally attracted a good deal of attention, and there was a good mus- ter of spectators, who encoui age*l Uscir peta with tee enthusiastic yolls so cnaraoteristic ol the Beaumaris crowd. A trial was given wa- hanis, a Menai Bridge plnycr, at full back. The teanw were:- Beaumaris; 0. R. Jon.es; WiUiame and Levi Jones; Rowlands, W. HumphNY8 and W. U. Thomas; Bellwxod, Di levies, "Thomas, Dick Hum.phreys, and S. Poole. Llanrwst: Finchett; W. T. Jones and W. Owen; Chishoim, Grer.ville Jones, and R. D. Rjchardb; B. Griffiths, .Humphrey Roberts, MoNaughton, Arthur Richards, and Ned Grif- fith. The game which commenced nearly half an noar after the adwrti?<xl time, was .started by Llanrwyt. Tho choice of ends placed Beau- maris at a great advantage, as they had al- most half a gale at. their backs. The home- sters got to work at once, but tloe ball was quickly returned. Tiio wind soon told a tale on Llanrwst, who utterly failed to make head- way against it. In a line the Beaumaris for- wa-rds iulVanco,! and Di Davies and Tow.se.r con- veyed the ball right up the field. Then Di Da- vies had a pot at goal, and meeting the re. titrn Sam Pi)o;,e banT<xl the ball into the net. So that in less than five minutes Beaumaris .3 wero one up Again tl^ haters advanced in a line, and the five forwards had pots in turn but i-nonett, the custodian, was <>n the cui vivo. Few about ten nunut(\s Beaumaris had their own way, and Wiliie Humi>,h.reys e^savvd a high sM't, and to everybody's- surprise 1"in- ohett misjulg-ed tlie ball, which went into the net. Though Beaumaris had the beet of t'-e exchanges, there was no sting about their final allots. A SENSATIONAL R-OPENING. At the interval Beaumaris had a lead of two goals. Having to fare the wind, the locals hrd their work out out in the second half, which openeif ionsationally. The. Beaumaris forwards ablaned pOi^etseion, and the three inside men darted throug-h the onnosrlio-n, and before the spectators had rc-ah-ed that the game liaa re- .«t,arte<J tho ball was in tho net, T^WsC-i* ixng the trick. Within tlie next five minutes 1W- Her registered No. 4 under identical circum- stance-?. Llanrwet had one or two spa-snioilio runs, but they were clean out of the nictucre. Tho fifth goal ensued from a inelee, Dick Hum- phreys being the soorist with a terrific grounder After this the game ame more even, ow- ing probably to Beaumaris, feeling that tho two points were safe, slackening their efforts, and for tho first tnno after tho luterval O. R. J()rl0-J was called upon to handle by Jones. Another goaJ was scored by Beaumaris, but the goalkeeper had been impeded. The ball was afterwards worked down well by Towser and! Di Davies, and it went out to Bellwood, who ran clean tnrough, and scored wIth a grand shot- Final: Beaumaris 6, Llanrwst nil.

FESTINIOG v. DENBIGH. CLEVER IAIN FOR THE QLARRYMEN. (By "Captain.") These teanig met at Festiniog Recreation Ground last Saturday in a League matcn. A luurge gato was present. T e inclement wea- ther wine a- preYaiku up to noon gave place to sunshine, but tiio wind was very strong, and it greatly marrtd the game. Mr Llewelyn Jones, tne referee, lined up tho teams in tho follow- ing oxdor Festimog: Goal, Sam Roberts; backs, T. Car- ter and dim Lloyd; halves, Bert Braaley, W. Jones, and M. Morris; forwards, J. Jones, W. WUkamfi, Meirion Jones, J. Kinnear, and C. Jonos. Denbigh: Goal, Sam Griffith; backs, Llew. Rees and R. T. Williams; halves, GWIlym WiI- liams, '1'. A. Davies, and W. o. Ilugnes; for- wards, H. Hughes, E. E. Davies, Randells, Tommy Davies and Berwyn Davies. Tne visitors won tiio tose, aud played with the wind. Ae opening exchanges were of a nuxed cnaracter. l'ne homesters in a t-rioo got down tho field, and a beau-titul piece 01 comui- nation between Jack Jones and W. Williams was eventually checked by T. q. Davies. Soma aitor Sam. Roberts was caUed upon to repel a fiiio shot from the foot 01 Tommy Davies, and then a splendid opportunity was given to the' visitors' inside leit, but tney shot wide of tne posts. A loui aga-inst W. Jones ended in a &oal kick.i W. Jones returned the leather with icrrifio loroe, and the backs had c0lli"dralJle difiiuulty m clearing. Now oporat-ions were starter a.t close quarters in the homesters' ter- ritory. Randells waa there fighting finely to elf-ect a point. He, however, was over-matched, and Meirion Jones passed to C. Jones, who struck one of the uprights, tne ball rebounding into play, and the Denbigh leit back succeeded in clearing. T.en tJ:o visitora moved boiuly forward, and E. E. Davies sent a stinging 8,iQt to Sam Roberts. A corner was conceaed, and the free-kick sent the ball over. In spite of tho stro-ng wind the homesters held their own, and! even more, and their right wing made several runs, but tiijey were hurled back by the Denbigh backs in the vicinity ot tuo goal. A very pretty piece of IJMsmg by trie Jjenbigh forwards was next slo-i. liandells got the leather wed in possession, but at tho critical moment his shc-t went wide oi the mark. Denbigh snowed improved form, exeept when in lx>sitioii to slioot. Somhow or other they woo itilly failed to reap the fruit of their iii-e nud- fieid play. Hands against W. Jones was clear- ed by the same player. Meirion Jones was now oonspieuous. He rusned with the ball aiid centred to Jack Jones, who, unfortunately, fail- ed to do- justica to his sid,) when a splendid HOMESTERS SiiOw rp. oha.n<:o yawned beioro him. Kinnear later also failed badly. Yet, the noiuesters ha.d the best ot tne game. Meirion Jones made a determined eliort to uraw fir st blood. A terrific snot irouii his foot had at last tüo desired end, and loud were tlw oaeas that rent the a;;x:. FrOtn u. miciiold kick the visitors for-.e<.i a corner, and from the ensuing llag-kh. k E. E. Davies tested tho liccne cusroaian, who was up co uie knocker and clearcd liuelj. Davies luul another chance, and only missed^ satisfaction by a lew 'riches.' Tho ho'mfljjfcr-s, however, resumed ihetir pio&- suro, yetTlotning of it. llalf-tinie caiiio with the homesters leading by otio goal. -^i"e"'iiini'1fcr play, visitors led the attack, M <i;Lc'r handling the sphere, a penalty was allowed, and Denbigh equalised. A stmgmg onslaught by the Visiting forwards was foiled by W Jo-nes uiaxterity. Tacn Meirion Jones, after a throw-in, cannoned the ball against the goal-keeper, who fumbled arid dropped it into trie net. After this rever e it was enjoyable to see Tommy Davies and Randells co-o-perating in an effort to break through trie home defence. Jim Lloyd foi1J them, passing the ball toMcir- ioa Jones, who lnud another pop at the goal, but his offort went over. The lionreslers ro' ne ived their combined attack on their oppo- nenta stronghold. W. Williams sent trie sphere to Jam Griflitus' liaads, and before the latter could recover fr-Jtn tho ahrck, L. Jones pounced, upon Juin, with the result that a goal was award- ed the homesters. Aided by the strong wind, the Quarrymen advanced their lorees to close quarters, W. Jones displaying remarkable clever- netss and t.aah. Though the home forwards got well up to goal territory, the defenders were too strong for the.n. Nothing of note took place durir-g the rest of game, Most oi tho attacking was done by the home eleven, but they lacked aecniracv of aim. Final result: Fcfi'tmiog 5, Denbigh J.

RHYL COUNTY SCHOOL v. EPWORTH COLLEGE. The football matches between Rlivl County Sohool and Epwo-rth Cullcgo is eagerly looked forward to by the partisans oi both sides, County team a.e UN) possessors ol an un- biemaaiied rcca-rd this season, and they meant to uphoLu! that record. On the other hand Ep- worth were desperately anxious to spoil the re- cord. Tho teams lined upon the County School's ground 011 Saturday. lpworth set the ball roliititg, and Rhyl were soon ni evidence, and by dint of ekiihil play carried the bail into the Epworth half. Tlney maintained pressure, and success soon crowned their efforts. Kpworth Avorked very hard, but they were outclassed, and in the first half Rhyl scored 4 goals. Tiie teams now crossed over, and Epworth hoped witn the help of tbe wind to change the venue. But Rhyl continued to play fine football, and had much their own way. All the home team exhibited perfect under- standing, and more goals were scon forth- coming. Tlie finaJ score was Rhyl 7, Epworth 1, and it was a fair reflex of the game. For the visitors Farrow, at back, played a fine game. All the home team acquitted them- selves well. Their captacn, T. j. Jones, played a grand g.ame, and scored three goals, antf Roosse and J. C. Davies scored two each. R. P. Jones put some brilliant oent-res across, and his diminutive partner was very tricky. The halves were good, and in the rear line W. E. Buckley was always prominent. The County have not yet been beaten, and have every rea- son to be proud of this record.

BANGOR CHIT CHAT. Rcaum-a-ris made short work of Llanrwsi on Sa-Unru!ay. III fact tJlI) RoosjClors never had a. crow tih-rc»ughorat the ma-tan. » The "Beaus" are straining every nervo to win the League championship, and it won't be their fault if it doesn t come off. The new full b-v: Walli-aws, was not pro- perly tested owing to the feeble attacks made by tho Llanrwfefc forwards. » # # Levi Jones, eppeeiaHy during the second half, did tlie work of a full and a half-back. Row- lands was inelired 10)1 to a bit slow, but W. Humphreys did the work of two men, though he need not have potted so often at goal. W. R. Thomas also shw-od? improved form. # « Di Davies and Towsejp were a i.;reai, and eo was Bellwood. was also in trim, and Dick Humphreys was not so bad though out of hi., place. II The Llanrwst men opened wdi. but finished badly. The inskte left wa.s their best player. < < < Fjnûhett Rhould cure himself of the habit of slamming the IJl ngÚt in front of him, when clearing, tlioreiby giving the attacking forwards a fine chance, » Usually so g, rong, tho halves were only medium on Saturday. » » » Beaumarisians are looking forwa-rd with in- terest to the League tu&sle with Bangor Re- servo On Good Friday. It is rumoured tiiat the Reserve will in- tludb Dargie, whtj playss for Wroxbam first team. r » » » With i-ememibrance of the awful defeat 01 18 goals to nil sustained by their pets at Col- wyn Bay, Carnarvon football enthusiasts ex- pected that thttir favourites would have a bit of their own back on Saturday, but, alas the visitors again proved victorious. The score for th two matches added to- gether reads as follows: Colwyn Bay 20 goals, Carnarvon one goal. This ia indeed record scoring. < < < « On the whole Colvvyn Bay thoroughly de- served their win on Saturday, though their shooting and! combination at times were bad. < < a The Carnarvon custodian really is to blame for his carelessness regarding the first goal, lie caught the ball, then let. it drop, and heel- ed it on the wrong side of the goal-line, but ho dealt in a. very able manner with other shots, the second goal scored against him being really a teaser • II « tpixa defence sadly missed tiie services 001 Jim Trevor in the second half. He played with vigour. Evan Hughes played with great, determina- tion, {1d his goal was quite beyond Ilallwood's power to save. < » Of the hailves, R. Hugh Williams, who, by the way, will be the c-aptan of the Bangor Normal College football team next season, was the best. J. Williams displayed plenty of dash, whilst Hugh Williams delivered some powerful shots, and showed good tackling abilities. • • • Hugh Roberts as pivot, though a acquisition, somehow was not very sure of the location of the goal, though on tho day's play lie did good service. » » Bohanna, on the right, put in a few rushes, but ended t.Item with some erratic ehooting. His partner, R. Williams, was practically "oft." Tcm Roberts and Johnny Jones did the best work of the team, but it could be improved upon. At the beginning they mulled splendid opportunities by not allowing ior tho wind, a factor which must never be lorgotten. Belore long, bidwcyor, ttipy got into their stride, and it was a pfty to see pome of their very noat passes to the right getting astray. lIa]!we-od, in goal for the Bay, did some clever work, his aiertn;ss and agility being 01 groat service to the team. » » W. Jones j, a strong kicker and clears well, whilst- McCann play-i with coolness and neat- ness, but It 18 not often ho misses a penalty, and it was hard lines on him kicking wide on Satur- day. < < Ned Griffiths, Welling-^ and Jothn Williams are a good tno, and they play a steady gamQ. » » •» Mcse is lcked upon as a sprinter, but 00 Saturday he was only allowed to give a few examples oi what, he 0,.11 do, but he did well. Stanley Hughes, the Bay's scorer, played well on tho right.. II • » • J-aok Owen, as centre, possesses some gcod kicking powers, but- is not very ture with his shots. m Walter Parry an( H. Smith, on the left wing, wore very ewitt- and gave snatchcs of brilliant conibination and runs. < < II Mr John Roberts, tiho referee, gave genera; satisfaotiou and showed determination 111 bra decisions. "Oh, for a forward line," groaned a supporter of tho Bangor club after Saturday's match, Whilst. Chester were undoubtedly the smarter team, they were lucky to collar a couple of points. • • II If the Bangor forwards had been as dangerous in front of goal as their Chester colleagues they would have tcored at least half-a-dozen goals. • ik They appeared to hesitate, and no one seemed inclined to risk a ahot from long range, al- though there was a tricky wind to deceive the custodian. • • Far and away the beet player in the home front line was Ilughio Owon. and that goal of hÍb was a gem < < I But it's a pity he) missed the penalty. ■ » » • Dick Jones was not in form; Harry Williams soon discovered the difference between Wednes- day League and Combination football, whilst Oliver was shadowed eo closely that he waa un- able to do much. » • ■ By the way, the Chester men were none too gentle in their methods. 1 11 » But still they aro the smartest Combination which has visited Bangor thia,season. 'II' K The Chester supporters agreed that the "best lad" in the Bangor team was Hwfa Williams, and they were not bad judges either. But it's forwards we want in Bangor, • Can't we beg or borrow a second Tommy Thomas or a John Bach? » » Unless the attacking line is strengthened the club will have to bid adieu to the Combination.

WELSH SIENIOR CUP. (SEMIFINAREPLA YED.) Con nail's Quay 3, Oswestry 1. NORTH WALES COAST AMATEUR CUP. (FINAL.) HOLYHEAD v. GREENFIELD. A GOALLESS GAME. (By "Linesman.") Tlie final for tho North Wales Coast Amateur Cup was played on the Council Field, Liandud- no, on Sa.tu.rdav. Fho fortunes of football have onco more permiUed Greenfield and Holyhead, the present holders, to reach tho final etago cf tho competition, and past experiences, all pointed to a keen struggle for the possession of the Jun- ior Cup. Two year;, ago these teams met before in tho final, when after drawing three times they had to share the honour of holding the cup. This yeai the stalwart representatives of Sir Fon qualified for the final bv defeating Bangor 5-3 in the second round, and Carnarvon 2j—1 in tho semi-final at Bangor. Greenfield put Rhyl Re- serves out of action in the first round, and after drawing 2—2 wi-th Colwyn Bay in the s^mi-iinal entered the final by defeating thcal 2-1 at Den bigh. Holyhead arrived at the seaside town by s;>ccial excursion, bringing with them a contingent of some five hundred enthusiastic supporters, most of whom were sporting tho blue and white colours of their favourites. Greenfield alto had an enthusiastic following. Somo time before tho hour announced for kick- off a contrnuai stream of six-etators commenced to pour into the ground. There were, besides th:> supporters of the two teams engaged, a liberal sprinkling of Colwyn Bay, Conway, and Llandudno enthusiasts. A little" before 3.30 the ground presented!an animated spectacle. The and w-,is packed to overflowing, and the ropeo were nearly completely lined by the crowd. Mr Frank Beoch, of Rhyl, wielded the whistle, ami on the lines W(,l'O Mr Lloyd, of Conway, and Mr J. H. Vincent, of Llandudno. At the foot of the grand stand, in full view of tbe field, was the cup for which the teams were out to do battle. The teams were greeted with rousing' cbc r" when they lined up at 3.30 in the following order: GrronfieJd Jack Jones, goai; Joo Fernivel and Harry Adams, back*; Tt>m Evans, R. E. Jonos, and Ben Edward?}, half-backs; Petrie, Cecil Robert?, Noraian Jones, Dick Griffiths, and J. Poarson, lorwards. Holyhead: Collier, goal; Conlan and Parry, full becks; Taylor, W. T. Jones, and R. Ellis, .f. Poarson, lorwards. Holyhead: Collier, goa!; Conlan and Parry, full becks; Taylor, W. T. Jones, and R. Elli- hail-backs; Hughie Roberta, Johnnie Rowlands, 0. B. Edwards, J. Jonee, and Hughie Brown, forwards. There was a blustering' Cross wind and brilliant sunshine, when Holyhead having lost the toss, started ft gain.s- tho sun. Tho Harbourmen at once assumed tho offensive, and early in tbo game, Jack JonTS had to do duty. This .ti only an ear fleet of what was to come, for the strips^ continually in close proximity to the L Greenfield goal, but on several occasions tho leather waa takoai over goal line, and an- other dangerous movement was nullified by J. Jones being offside. Adams early proved him self & resolute defender by clearing several rushes by the Holyhead forwards, who, headed by the redoubtable "0. B. were still keeping up the pnsjuro. At length, however, after the bubour- men had had several iikely openings, the leather crcesod tbe halt-way line, and George Petrio was in evideiiee, but owing' to faulty passing by his comraues tne speedy little winger could not break away. Then caino tne first really danger- ous attempt to find the net. Tlie harbourmen were givc.ii a. free kick, with winch JJic-k FJlra was ei trusted. He placed tho leather mceiy to Jonnnio Rowlands, whq ran in, and sent a terri- fic snot wnici struck tile upright. It wa.s very hard lines,and Johnnie had a weU deserved cheer tor his eiroru "Good Holyhead" waa generally tho cry wmch greeted tno. eatorts ot tne har- bourmen, wno 90 far had been doing most of the pressing. Tueir eiiorte looked Iiko being ic- warded when two cornera were forocd in quick 6ucoep.sion, a.nd onoo tilo sphere was perilously near t-tio net, bo Groenlieid defence saving tho Situation just in the nick of time, '1'# narbour- men's ruHnea woro dangerous M all Ilmoo, and the Greemlield defence were doing well not ;o delay in oleariaqt their lines. Follow.rig a corner on the Holyhead left, J. Joneg put over the bar, and Fornivcl hejvded away a good shot by Cornan. Again tiM hare Qourmen returned to tho attack, and Ilugiiie Brown sent t-ne oul over the bar. Play was now tirajwfer.red to tilo other end, and Parry was forced-10^ kiek out, with Petrie almost upon him, At this juncture Petrie had to leave the field for a few minutes, having injured hie knee, and wi-teir he re^uniw) it waa noticed that lie limped slightly, but tne lameness vanished before the in terval, Hovered ineffective attempts at Jong snoots itig, wero made by the Hoiyhead forward4, but tiiey could not brmg about the downfall oi the Gretydkld oitadeJ, Some «mart exonangee in midUeld followed whero the men from Green.

FRIWDLYIIATCHES. FOETMADOQ v, BARMOUTH, VICTORY FOR THE HOMESTERS. (By "Captain"). These teams met in a frieaidly encounter on Saturday, Mr David Roberte, Portmatioe, beir-g the referee. Barmouth, who played five reserve men, opened play with the wind in theer favour, and their defence succeeded for a time in frustrating tbo preying of tho Madoeiteis. The latter, however, found an ^pix>rt.umt}', but a. shot for goal proved unavailing'. Tho Madoc forwards again forced tho pace, being well supijorted by the back", but the visiting forwards gained possesion of the leather, and LIQw. Daviee placed a beauty in the not. The Madocites renewed their attack (JoQ the Barmouth citadel, and kept tho sphero going close to it. for a timo. Tho Baynouth backs s-'icceeded in eletaring, yet the homesters persisted in getting once, more to close quartern, but no' pointF were notched. At. last pressure was relieved, and instantly the venue of operations was changed to tho < -t her end, and before long tho visitors scored. The visitors worked ener- getically to overcome the heme defence, and the Madoe forwards had their I work sj toiled by tho gusty wind. Repeatedly the Madocites got • to close quarters, but could not place the ball between tho uprights, and half-time arrived without any further scoring. Mr Garth Jones had charge of the whi-'le during the second half. Tho opening stages were mostly in the homo territory, and the visi- tors wore not without, strong' hopes of advancing tho score, in spite., of the wind and the Madoc defence. But the homesters gradually strength- ened their defence and attack. The Barmouth stronghold had the attacking force right in front of it, and the custodian found some work to clear. W. Roberts (Madoc) essayed a. g.wd shot, but the wind carried the ball over the crossbar. After some erratic play and several fruitless I corners, Dick Morn's ultimately sent the ball into the net., thus giving a goal at la-st to tho Madocites. I On K'ouioption of play, Ned Jones parsed to Moseley, who forced a corner, and Johnny Wil- liams put on another point for tho Port. Bar- mouth bid well for the Madoc goal, their com- bination and paseing being very creditable. They were checked by the Madoc backs, and Dick Morris got possession of the leather, and nearly succeeded m getting it through. Ex- citing play in close proximity to the Barmouth goal ended in Johnny Williams scoring tho third .1' goal. Seen after the ball waa in play the Madce men had to conced-d a corner to their opponents, and then a futile move wa,s made to" break tho home defenco. A penalty against the visitors was ooimvtcd by Mo&elcy, tbusj scoring the fourth goal. Tho persistent on- slaught of the home forwards, supported by tho backs, began to tell on the staying powers of tho visitors. Moseley received t.ho bad against his chest, a.nd rushed with it into goal. A dis- pute arose, the visitors contending tiiat Moeeley had touched tho ball with his hands, and they retired to the pavilion. Play was again re- sumed, but only for a. few minutes, when the whistle sounded for the ceasing of play. The game thus ended with five goala to the credit of tho homo team and two to the credit of visiters.
