The Archdeacon, who generally preside*, was unavoidably absent. Accordingly the Rev Ambrose Junes, one of the three vice-presidents, took the chair. The programme was as follows:— Address. Mr W.

COLLEGE.—On Saturdav a football match, under association rules, was played on the College ground before a fair assemblage of specta- tors. Although they contested well, the University had to be contet with a defeat of four goals to nil, Wheelan, Barson, and Marshall being re- sponsible for scoring. It might have been ex- pected that the town forwards would have availed themselves of every opportunity for perfecting their Combination and method of attack, which is still open to improvement, in readiness for the forth- coming semi-final. Instead of this their chance on Saturday was allowed to escape, and the best part of the game was devoted to a display of in- dividual gallantry. Marshall was mainly respon- sible for this, and as he is the pivot of the team, •and the key to the situation, it would have been far more pleasant to the spectators,'and more ad- vantageous to the players, if the centre had re- sorted to the old fashioned passing game, and stuck to his position. Success in the semi-final, which is anticipated with eagerness, can only be obtained bv an accurate understanding between the five forwards, but if each one attempts to work Lis way to goal alone they stand good chances of never getting there. It need hardly be said that the half-backs, under John Henry, played a good game, and the popular Captain is to be congratu- lated on his recovery. The teams were composed as follows:—U.C.W., goal, D. H. Barrett; backs. Roberts and J. Bennett; halves, Griffiths, J. M. Hughes. and E. D. Evans forwards, Perrett, F. G. Solway, Nash. D. P. Williams, and E. A. Lewis. Town, goal, W. Davies full backs, Joel Rowlands and George Evans; halves, W. Jones. J. H. Edwards, and D. M. Evans; forwards, Spnrrow, Wheelan, Marshall, George Barson, and Oswald James. Referee, Mr G. P. Williams. Linesmen, W: R. Jones, and Edwards. ENGLISH BAPTIST ENDEAVOUR SOCIETY—A social evening was held on Wednesday week in the English Baptist Schoolroom in connection with the Young People's Christian Endeavour Society. The Rev. T. Williams, B.A., presided, and said that as president of the Society he was glad to find that during the short time the Society had been in existence, which was rather a short period, some good workers bad come and gone. Referring to the death of John Ruskin, he said Ruskin was a man who had set many a good example, and had shown that honest work was no discredit to any man.
