WOODEN SPOONISTS SUCCUMB AT BANGw-(< AFTER PLAYING A MAN SHORT. (By "RooordT."r Cangor Reserve 4 Pwllheli 0 The woolen spooaists ot th'e League were rlbe visitors at Bangor on Saturday. zo C'uuousJy enough both teams turned out with tar. men, the visiitor3 being without Ben. Evans, who did not turn up at all during the game, whilst Bangor were more fortunate in having Arthur Williams, of the 'Varsity to £ 11 up the vacancy. One missed Moseley JQ from th-e visiting ranks, lie having eignod on for Holyhead. He was, however, on the field, figuring as the Pwllheli lines- man. Tie teams were: BANGOR RESERVE: Ivor Thomas; D. J. Thomas and Will Parry; Arthur Owen, H. J. Da vies, and Arthur Williams; Rowlands R. Jones, Brown, Tommy Griffiths, and Harry Evans. PWLLHELI: Bob Williams; R. Hughes and G. Evans; W. Griffith, Bob Morgan, an i T. J. Owen Eva.n Hughes, William Hughes, David Hughes, and Abraham Jones. Though a man behind, the visitors were sports- men enough to play two backs instead of the game which, whilst it prevents goals being scored, makes the game most uninteresting for the spectators Banger were the first to get a move on, Tommy Gniliihs sending in a sterling shot, and Rowlands crashed in a second, Bob Williams saving with his ins top Then Bob had to repel another rush, and he so adroitly avoided R. Jones that the Bangorian landed himsetf in the net whiist the custodian cloared. Try as they .would the lieiians could not get the ball out of their own half. True Bob Morgan did send in a "speculator," from which David Hughes ro-I gistered a PALPABLY OFFSIDE GOAL, but the ball was soon back again in the PwIl, heli territory. Arthur Williams sprung into pro- minence with some teliiilg work, finally sending the ball on to Rowlands. Gnff. Evans should have cleared, but missed. and Rowlands rap right up to Bob Williams bl-fore parting with the ball, and he easily scored Bangor's tirst goal. G. Evans made amends soon afterwards with a lengthy clearance, which caused the ball to drop in front of the home goal, but Thomas returned, •■nd with interest. Arthur Owen received a nasty injury just now. Evan Hughes was try- ing an overhead pass, and had his foot on the ball, when Arthur Owen essayed to head right n i tibo result that he was accident- ally k'.CKod in the mouth, and tome of his teeth were broken. r.nd he had to leave the ground. Trie teams were now level in point of number, bJt Bangor assumed the ascendancy, and Arthur V\ iil^iriifi from almost half ground, crashed the baU against the Pwllheli cross-bar, and it flew out to R. Jones, who, at express speed, had i-j Safety in the net-No, 2. The game was far from interesting, and if the home forwards had directed more shots for goal, more goals woul 1 have accrued. Arthur Williams tried to repeat h;3 former success, but W. Griffith was a trifle too smart for him, • and we next saw the l'wli. fteli right wing skipping down the field at ex piess speed, but nothing came of the movement. ^u'ir'cV Evans, passing all opposition,, went along t. he.d at lightning snccd, eventually SCORING "ALL ON Ills OWN," taougji he was, apparently, cffsida when he ^aiL1<vl-r Alter the hand-shaking had ended, t*w.iinea pressed a bit but goals (or anything ;.p- p roach I rig goals) came not. Brown, who won t Bin-ot, though he is one of the best shots in the ltvserve team, at last liad a pet. Bob Wdliarns bemg smart to save as he did. G. Williams hereabouts was responsible for a number of lengthy clearances. Half-time: Bangor Reserve, 3; Pwllheli nil 6ECOND HALF. In the fust, minute of the second half Bangor •ound the net, but the referee disallowed the point. The next item of note was a bit of capi- tal defensive work by D. J. Thomas, who not only tackled well, but cleared just as smartly, l'he homesters got going, the ball was tapped irom foot to fopt, but Harry Evans missed the inal pass. Arthur Owen tried his luck, and the )all flashed past the upright. Harry Evaru; aised a ''lgb by capsizing two opponents for he secon. f time, and from his pass Brown almost lid the ti -ck.

NOTES. The interest in the visit of Pwllhch to P,.n- gor, this afternoon, was practically nil, due no doubt to the fact that, the Heliains are at the bottom of the League poll. To make matters worse for the victors,, they could only put too men on th? field, Ben Evar.,< being the abeerfteo, but Bangor were in the same hole, and it was fortunate that Arthur Williams, of the 'Varsity was amongst live spectators, and he turned out directly he v/as asked. Among, the small band of spectators present was Mr Austin Jones., the Con.-ierva.tivo oandi- date for the Carnarvon Boroughs. During almost the whole of the urst half. Ban-gor preissod, and but for the embroidery work of the forwards, the. score might have read 6—0 instead of 3—0 at the interval, i •Two of the points accrued from lengthy punts sent in by Arthur WilLiams, Bob Wil- liams, who play-ed really well, not having a ghost of a chance. It W3..a nasty accident which Arthur OWn rcoeiwd, and dt'will cost him a tooth or two. He retired for a while, but pluckily came on agaiai. The referee wisely resunvxl the game directly the first half concluded, as ,the shades of night were falling even at that early stage, If the first half was tame the second was more so, and well might the sjiectators have asked for the return of their money. R. Jones' niagnifioemt miss should be a warning to young footballers. An -empty goal .{a.s. gaping at luin, and if he had blown at it, the ball would have been in the net. But lie made a terrific lunge at the ball and lauded it ihigh over the bar. A poor game ended in semi-darkness.

POiNTS FOR THE JUNCTION. Llandudno Junction 5 Llanberis 2 These tjeams met at the Junction on Saturday before a. rather small crowd of spectators. Tho teams were LLANDUDNO JUNCTION: J. Hughes; Tom Jones, 0. EM is; W. Eva,us. R. W. Ro- berts, Brookes Evans; W. E. Griffiths, J. R. Jones, E. Parry, W. G. JontSt), and Sam Parrv. LLANBERIS: Daniels; Bob Lloyd, b. Morris; Dan Roberts, W. Pritchard, T. H. Thomas; II. Lloyd, J. Evans, Buck, E. LloYd Hughes, and Dan Roberta. Referee Mr Morgan, Po: tdinorwic. The homesters started well, and the visi- tors' custodian bad to handle in the first minute of the game. It was only about four minutes from the start, when Ernest Parry, for the Junction, scored, but the referee had, however, whistled for Sam Pa.rry, who had centred to Ernest, w:ho was over the goal-lime The home defence were next in difficulties from a free-kick awarded to LLanbcT-Ls, but O. ELlis eleared well. The Junction men forced a corner, and R. W. Roberts scored with a fine shot, which entered the net through a ruck of players. Soon afterwards the Llanbsris goalie had to hug the ball right on the goal-line, and only managed to g-et it away by conceding a corner. At the other end J. Hughes, the home goalie, was injured by one of the Llanbcris forwards, but was -able to resume. The Junctionites at length got through, and J. R. Jones put on number two with a shot which the visitors' custodian never even saw. TOM'S MASTERPIECE. Llaaberis looked dangerous when J. Hughes raIn out, and kicked cl(w. Ern-t Parry had a good try for goal, but the Lki.nberis custodian cleared. Tine Junctionites were pressing ,and Tom Jones, the home full back, was waiting on the fringe of a crowd of players in the Llanbcris goalmouth. The ball was sent in from the left, and Tom, with a grand shot, bangod the leather into thie net. Half-time: Llandudno Junction, 3; LI an- L-k-ris, 0. On resuming, the Junction men pressed, tlJt failed to score. Then, Llainboris got going, c r. d one of the home backs, fouling' within the drcadled area, Llaji,ber:.s were awarded a jxfnal- ty. Buck, who was entrusted with the kick, banged the ball against the upright, an i al- though he placed" it in tho net by meeting the rebound, the point was, of oourse, d:?a'lovved. Profiting by tlmr narrow eeoaipe. the local men raced away, and |Crn«et Parry, a feat ofinA-ie frotyi the sight, had! no difficulty in scor- ing the fourth goal for the Junction. Again the homesters attacked, this Cine tle movement being a decidedly clever one, in Which all fho forwards took part. Erneat !I,-t)-y had the honour of putting on tiie finishing t ;i ch. Buck ran right through all opposition, and scored scored for Llanberis. Weak play on tho part of Brookes-Evans let in the Llanb&ris right wing, and H. Lloyd cent ring' Owen Morris headed the leather into the net. Final: Llandudno Junction, 5; Llanbe^s, 2

STILL ON TOP. LLECHID'S PROUD RECORD. (By "Spectator.") Llcchid Swift3 4 Menai Bridge 3 A strong wind ölew over the Menai Bridge football ground on Saturday, when the Bridgc- ites entertained the Second League leaders— Llechid Swifts. Pefeiree J. Burkley call- ed the players to toe the line in the following order:- MENAI BRIDGE: J. Owen; J. C. Jones and W. Edwards; Bob G. Edwards, R. T. Williams, and Ivor Edwards; Hender, A. Hughes, J. R. Owen, Morgan Jones, and Gerra.rd. I LLECHTD SWIFTS: R. A. Griffith; W. Jones and Hughie Lewis; R. W. Thomas, T. Owen (capt.), and T. Jones; T. L. Roberts, Goorgo Williams, C. A. Cooil, E. Owen, T. Donaldson. Llechid opened play, and T. L. Roberts, re- ceiving from Thomas, forced a fruitless corner. Both ends were visited in turn, with remark- able rapidity, and Llcchid were again before Owen's charge, but offside- spoilt them. Cooil next aent over the bar. Menai Bridge, from a throw- in, got through, but Hughie Lewis cleared nioely. Hender run through, but just on the point of shooting for goal he fell. However, he retrieved his mi.-take, and Griffiths saved two or three times, the leather being eventually sent to the other end, whore Cooil headed towards goal, and Owen saved at the expense of a corner, which proved .abortive. Llcchid w re again aggressive. T. L. Roberts centred across tho goalmouth, and R. G. Edwards smartly robbed Dor.aMson of the ball. Following some sLaclnxcss on the part of the Llechid de- fidce, J. R. Owen drew first blood to the aceompa.niment of tremendous shouting of Well dome, the Tigers." REFEREE AND THE CRITICS. At this stage the referee had occasion to talk to a s-e-ction of the spectators, who were not very comipli,m<aitary in their remarks to a Llechid defender. After some pressure by Menai Bridge, during which Griffiths did yeoman service, Llechid foroed a corner which was cleared. Morgan Jones ran through the defence, and in his raid he was fouled, but he regained his equilibrium, and scored, but the whistle had previously gone for a foul. Half-time: Menai Bridge, 1; Llechid, 0. Menai Bridge set things .going in the second half, and Joe Homier missed a pass to tihe right. Afkr some end to end play Gerrard centred, and Arthur Hughes scored. Im- mediately after Gerrard again rana;ong the left, amd .netted the third goal. Before long Llechid roused from their apathy, and T. JonM scored the first point for the visitors. Tho ball was worked down by IJechid, and Edwards allowed it to go towards th-e goal- line, and Owen, the custodian, sent it to cor- ner, which was cleared. Llechid, aided by the wind, were continually in front of Owen, but the fine defence of Edwards and Jones kept danger at a.rm,3 length. Bob Thomas ere long decreased the homesters' lead. At length (ko. Williams drew the scores level, and added aji other one, giving Llcchid the lend. Final Llechid Swifts, 4: Menai Bridge, 3.

OVERWHELMING DEFEAT OF COLWYN BAY CELTS. VILLAGERS IN A IIAPPY MOOD. (By "Vcrax.") Glasinfryn 8 Colwyn Bay Celts i Giasiniryri were in great scoring form when they were visited by Co!wyn Bay on Saturday. Reteroe. C. J. rl horaus, of Bangor, drew up the teams as follows:- GLASINFRYN: H. Hughes; J. P. Jones, W. T. Thoiiias; G. Whitehead, C. Pierce, Edwin Davics; H. Parry Williams, H. Edwardss, D. P .Hughes, R. T. Wdliams, Wilson Thomas. COLWYN BAY: D. L. Jones; E. Parry, E. R. Jones; J .llnghcs, Llew Roberts, W. T. Hoe- kins; P. Jones, W. Jones, R. Botth, C. E. Luut, R Jones The Swifts pressed right from the start A minute had hardly elapsed before the home for- wards were round the visitors' goal, and Hughio Edwards gave his side the lead with an c.'i.-y shot. Continuing, the Swifts ptill held the uuner hand, but Hughio Edwards, while racing up to an unguarded goal, was unfortunately tripped. Nothing resulted from the resultant kick, and the Infrynites pressing again D. P. Hughes .rushed in and added the seoond for his within five minutes of the commence merit. Th wind, which blew diagonally acrces t.he pi-taii., woa, in favour of tOO home'Vers. H. Parry V\ iiliams tried a shot, but not allowing for the wind, th? bail voent widio. Several others of the Swifts had a few casual shots, but were unsuccezsfui. Tho bad had so far onfy gone oaice behind: the Glasinfryn goal line. The Bavites had evidently ioat heart. Proieartly 11. Parry Williams ^emt in No. 3. Two fruitless corners had haon conce-ded to the Swifts, when H. Parry Wiiliiamu was fouled within the penalty area. Hughie I'klward; made no mistake in netting No. 4. G.os.infryn rushaag down again, the tight vviii/g tried a shot whioh D. L. Jones saved, but in saving sent it in Wilson Tlioraias' direction, and he put in the fifth goal. Within a few seconds moro Hughie Edwards had made up the half dozen. THE BAY DEMORALISED. Tho Colwyn Bay detenoe tocmed to become demoralised. But. eocm the Bay began to buck up, and made several good .runs, Wilson Thomas and Fracik Pies--c was oonfliantly allowing to advan- tag- in attack and de-fence. At half-timo bho soore sta-nd: Glasinfryn 6. Colwyn Bay 0. On t, the visitors p'ayed tet- ter, but were still evidently outclassed. O. P. Hughes piercing the Colwyn Bay defence, de- spite the opposition of E. 11. Jones, r-hoc the seventh goal. The Bayites were several times pulled up for tripping tactics, but little ao\ an- tage was taken ot the kicks. The visitors v<ro now pressing, but wero unable to score, though the Glasinfryn full-backs were not extra j_-ood. Several shots were stopped by 11. Hughes—the others went wide. Assuming the aggressive ag -It, the Swifts shelled the visitors' cit< >iei; but D. L. Jones was on his meitle and this goal not being to muddy as the Oliver, he was e.n- abled to bring off several good saves. Play again, centred round the visitors' goal, and the Swifts' "firing lin" had plenty of opportu- nities, but couldn't bring them oTf. Continuing to exert pressure, the Swifts still held the upper hand; nevertlieLess good work by the visitors was frequently witnessed. Play became tamer, resolving itself mostly into end to oiid variety. Hughie Edwards tried a shot, but it travelled over the bar. Swecpirvg down with a rush, R. Jones brought tho ball within range, and neatly scorcd the first point against the Swifts. The home de- fence, while the ball was being brought up for this goal, soanied to have fallen asleep, but this point cheered up the Bay, and they responded with several line pieces of com- bination, but generally came to pieces before the opposing forwards. Retaliating the Swifts rushed up, and Bob Thomas scored -th-e eight goal just on time. FinaJ: Glasinfryn, 8; Colwyn Bay Cclis 1.

PENMAENMAWR v. HOLYHEAD RESERVE. THE HAunOURMEN SOUNDLY THRASHED. These teams met at Penmocnmawr in a Second Division League match on Saturday. Tho ground was wet and dirty, eo good foot- ball could not be expected. In spite of un- favourable conditions there was a good crowd. It was a curious coincidence that there were present the president (Mr R. J. Hugfoes) and two vioa-presidents (Messrs R. D. Richards, Bangor, and Percy Weeks, Holyhead) of the North Wales Coast Footbal-I Association. Mr Richards, of Bangor, lined the teams in the following order: — FENMAENMAWR: Bob Lloyd; W. E. Hughes, H. Jones; &-own, J. Jones and Gor- don (lhantrey; J. W. Luiit, Archie Jooies, R. Morris, C. Sloane, and Caleb Williaics HOL YHEAD RESERVE: N. Wibliarms; J. Evans and Bob Lewis; Owen Williams, Hyam, and W. Brown; H. Brown, John Jones, Hugh Williams, Humphrey D. Jones, and Johnny Jones During the first half the homesters faced the wind, and were also in the worst half of the Held. For the first 15 minutes Holy- head pressed hard, and kept the bail in the homesters' half, but they could not score. Em long the home forwards made a sudden rush, a ad Newton was called uspon to clear. This lie did, but Morris, the homesters' oemtre forward, got the leather and sent it flying into the net. This was a splendid goal, and he deserved pfai-se for it. Again the visitors pressed, but only one or two occasions had they any idea of scoring, their attempts being either a coupi.e of yards wide or above the crossbar. The Seal arks were awarded sever aJ corners, but they availed them nothing. Again the homesters rushed p the field, and Archie scored No. 2. Nothing of importance occured after tiU the half-time: Penmaenmawr, 2; Holyhead Reserve, 0. In the .second half th-a liom-ost-ers had the better portion of the ground, and the wind in their favour. They also kept the ball wieAl within the visitors' part of the field, as they had done in the first half. The Sea-larks seemed to luave lost hard af tc,.r failing to score in the first half, but some of them played a good game to the finish. After some waltzing in tho mud and some smart passing, Koane scored No. 3 for t-hc homesters from the night shortly after a face-kick was awarded the hom-estors, from which Brown scored in a tricky way. This was No. 4. About 15 minutes before the end H. Jones, the home back, fell, and in trying to clear the ball accidentally foutbed within the prescribed areia. This resulted in the Scalarks being awarded a penalty, from which H. Williams smartly sent into the net. A ooupl-e of seconds before time-up J. Joa-efi, of Holyhead, met with an accident, amd had to be carried off the field, but this did not affect tho re- sult of the game, eg time-up was declared al- most immcdiiately after. Final: Penmaenmawr 4, Holyhead Res. 1. NOTES. Tho home team ought to be more careful as to fouling. The referee had to whistle many times for fouls, and a good number W'¡:'l") against the home lot. < < All the home team played exceedingly woll Boh Lloyd did not get as much work as [ anticipated. Hugh Jones, left back, was the favourite on Saturday, and he has a gyd shot. » Chan trey gave a good account of himself in his first match of the &oaaoa. He ficd his forwards splendid!v. < < The forwards were Al, aid the defence was just as at ought to be—quite the opposite to a fortnight ago, when playing against Giasinfrvii. ♦ » Some of the spectators (even some from Holyhead) admitted that the home lot were a very good little team. Let the next opin- ion advance to an "excellent team."

N. W. AMATEUR CUP. SECOND ROUND—(Re-Played). THE BAY S CLEVER WIN. Colwyn Bay 2 Llandudno Amateurs O In dull woatlier and in tho presence of a large crowd of spectators, itiose teams met at Llan- dudno on Saturday in a re-piay in the 2nd round of tdio Welsh Coast Amateur Oup. Tho first en- counter between the teams at Colwyn Bay re- sulted in a goal-less draw. The teams under the charge of Referee IIarri.3, of Crewe, were as follows:— LLANDL AlV^ATAEURS: O, St-ajilard; J. H. Jones and Ben Morris; H Pearson, T. Johnson, and J. Brown; J. E. Williams, Dan I I' Davies, W. T Clove, R. Davies and J. Williams. COLWYN BAY: C. Hall wood; D. Roberts and O. E. Williams; E. Griffiths, T. MoCann, and R. Rowlands; E. F. Tuckor, Southern, E. Phillips, D. Hughes, and N. Prdtchard. When Cleve kicked off for Llandudno the Amateurs made tracks for the right wing, and caused the visitors some anxiety for a few minutes. At length J. E. "\Vuiams slot wide. N. Pritchard got away, and gave to Stanley Hughes, but Ben. Morris .intervened, but Pritchard shot very wide. Pearson was playing a grand defensive game, R. Davies receiving from him and calling upon Hall- wood to save. Tho homesters were all over th-eir oppon- ents at this stage, but E. Williams saved well time after tinre. J. H. Jones placed a free- kick wide of the mark, as also did McCann. A corner by J. E. Williams was beautifully placed, but Hall wood saved in fine style. The visitors now asserted themselves, and Hall- wood saviõd a fin,o drive by Pritchard. The Bayites got away, and Phillips scored. A little later on Ben. Morris had the mas- fortune to send the leather into his own goal, thus registering number two for tlw Bayites. Southern shot wide after good work by J. E. Williams cie-arly succeeded in getting through, but D. Roberts averted disaster. Half-time: C'olw YU Bay, 2; LLandudno Amateurs, 0. SECOND HALF. After the interval the visitors got awav on the left, and Norman Pritchard completely boat the home defence, 4tzid missed uy inches únly, StaL'ard throwirag himself full length to save. Southern then dribbled well, and got in a grand drive, but Stallardi saved finely. The locals now asserted themselves and go.t going on the left wing, J. Williams nearly scoring. The Amaftoeiurs were now having most of tho play, but had very hard luck indeed. J. Wil- liams, on the home right, worked emergelically, but was not -,o well supported as lie sheatld have been. Occasion ally die locals were at sea with their nippy opponents, "vviho followed up the bail very q.uiokly. Pearaon put in a tremendous drive, and tested Hallwood to the utmost. R. Davies met the rebound, but shot over the bar. Stanley Hughes then away with a light- ni-ng run. but., when just outs-ide the penalty area he was brought up by J. H. Jones. The ensu- ing free kick was entrusted to Ned Griffiths, but Siailard saved well at the expence of a cor.ter. One or two drives by Pearson brought out liallwood's best qualities, but the v:isitors narrowly escaped time after time. Pritehard was hurt on the I-eft wing, amd was tak-on off the field, but he soon resumed though A grand run by J. Wil- liams was brought to a conclusion through the latt-er handling the ball. Johnson then went through on his own, and after beating several opponents shot inches wide of the post. The homesters prei-ti-ed hard, but failed to convert, HaJlwood nial-ing several magnifi- cent saves. McCann was in rare form for the visitors, and tackled brilliantly, his feed- ing of the forwards being am object lesson. From a free-kick outside the penalty area J. H. Jones put m a magnificent drive, but Hallwood saved grandly, though compelled to grant a corner. The ensuing corner kick was el-eai-ed after a tremendous bully in front of (goal. The Amateurs had by far the majority of the openings, but failed to score. Final: Colwyn Bay, 2; Llandudno, 0.

CHATTY AND DESCRIPTIVE. ANOTHER VIEW OF THE GAME. (From a Corrcspandient.) "1ou' 11 see some fine play to-dav," said my friend Jenkins as the two teams took their placet) in th2, field, "you "see, our men, the Amateurs, were handicapped at the last match," lie added; "Colwyn Bay ground is muoh 6mall.crand they could not jucSge the distance, aren t they a fine lot." They certainly looked, as he saad, a "fine lot" -.dres;;e.d in a neat costume of striped bhie-white jersey, and whito knickcvrs, an athletic and well-proportioned team rather above the average size of footballers, tltey con- trasted with their opponents, whoee black and red jeraoya had the effeob of dwarfing their ap- pearance. But it seemed ae if this ground! also waa too small for thorn, for they soon took the ball down to the Coliwyn Bay goal, and kicked it over the line. The wind was with them, and they were too strong' on the ball.—"They'll steady down just .now," su idl Jenkins. "Juat not:oe that back staldin.g. there waiting for the ball—the eafeet man in North Wales. It is said that E verton were enquirkng- about. him last ae-a. son." But Jenkin's remarks were out short far the ball was carried 00 the goalmouth, and the goalkeeper glanced it off, giving a comer. The excitement now on our stand was getting ken,and when the kick was taken, which re- sulted! in the ball going over the bar, a gentlo sigh a.rocie from the crowd. Time after time was the ball earned to tihe goalmouth and then either kicked oyer or the ball was gathered) up by the goalkeeper. After half an hour's play, two of the Ulan- d'udno forwards raced down the field, t,rbd, passing the outside man, it was dribbled almost, level with the goal line, llhen a good centre, the opposing backs forming a phalanx of players trying to save. Then a terrific shot, and Jenkins said: thought we shouldlhave tbem aoon;" but to our d-ismay tihe goalkeeper steals through with tho ball, and! kicks up the field, "A magnificent' save, satd Jenkins. And now the opposing team were carrying the ball towards the Llandudno goal. "It's no good" says Jenkins, "tbey don't know what to do with it." "Ha I thought, so he's kicked it too fa.r, but it so happened, that as the Llandudno back ran to save, he made a. huge kick and misled the ball. A howl of derision arose around us on the stand, for- the g\)al was scon registered. "Is that the very safe player whom you said Everton were enquiring- after," I asked Jenkins. "No," answered, Jenkins, laconically. It seems that Colwyn Bay had now the fortune of war, far time and again the.ball was at the Llaaid'udno goal, until from a comer leek the ball w.as riushod to the jnouth of the goal, and a Llandudno player kindly ran and kicked it into the net. "St. David and Lloyd Gecirge," said Jenkins. "Did you ever see anything like that?" — Shortly afterwards the whistle blew for half- time. Score: Colwyn Bay two goals, Llandudno Amateurs none. On .resuming, it was evident that, the Llan- dudno Amateurs meant businieiss, for the forward line was reconstructed. "Quilie right," said Jenkins, "I always con- sidered that a weak 6i>ot," as one player waa substituted for another. Then the tussles re- commenced, and1 up and down the field the ball travelled; tirat or,.o goal threatened, then the other, until Jenkins se-emed to get tired, and as hd furtively looked Li his watch, he remarked "A liuei open football fielal tihis, and the turf, sir, all sand, very bt-e footing," and) ho as- sumed an air of iridiiToi ^.noe. The crowd began to trickle away, and as there was nosigni of a score for Llandudno Jenkins became silent. Both teams made 3trermous efforts divrirk- the last few minutes, but no further gteal was scored. After the referee had blown the whistle and we were teaming- the field, I asked Jenkins what he thought osf tho gamo- ■'Rotten, sir; 'nbouiutwljr rotltan," replied Jenkins.

FRIENDLIES. CARNARVON UNITED v. NORMAL COLLEGE. A BRISK GAME. Tho -abov-e match) waa played at Carnarvon on Saturday in stormy weather. Referee: Mr E. Lloyd WdEams. CARNARVON: TiAxmsom; E. Hughes and C. H. Jones; J. Williams, Herbert, and R. Mori »ri Wiikama; R. H. Rxubetrtti. Tom R0.- berts, Walter Jones, II. Roberts and J. Jones. NORMALS: -D. J. Evans; Lord and Long; Gibbons, W. Evans, and Phillips; Roose. IIc/p- wcoci, llartnaby, Pepper and Rogers. Carnarvon won the toss, and played with a strong wind in their favour. Hannaby set the ball in motion, and made tracks for the Carnar- von goal, but C. H. Jones cleared with a long pot. Aided by the wind, the Canaries forced the play, and a corner was conceded, which, however, was cleared. Still continuing to press, Tom Roberts received the ball and soored with a simple shot. A nice combined movement by the Carnarvon forwards saw R. H. Roberts in possession, and lie netted the ball for the second time from a difficult anglo. With the wind at their backs, the local for- wards kept the ball in tho visitors' territory, and H. Roberts netted the third. Another comer was conoedtd to Carnarvon, but Evans, for the Normals, brought off a capital save. HARD LINES FOR THE NORMALS. Hannaby had hard Iinx?s with a shot which shivered the cross-bar, and rebounded. into play, after the goalkeeper had been well beaten. From a pass by John Jones, Tom Roberts sent high over the bar, and this player wa-s next conspicuous with a header whioh missed its mark by inches. Through miskickang on the part of R. Moreton Williams, Roose raced away, and sent tho ball across, Pepper receiving netted with a fin-e shot. -H. Roberts scored tho fourth goal for Carnarvon. Peppar whipped a fine oentre across, which looked dangerous, but C. H. Jones cleared h;.s lines easily. Close to half-time Carnar- von were awarded a penalty, but Evans brought off a capital save. Half-time: Carnarvon, 4; Normals, 1. On restarting Carnarvon made tracks for the visiting goal, but were sent back. Evans was next called upon to save a difficult shot, which he accomplished in good form. Owing to the wind the ball was now continually kopt out of the Visiting territory, and midfiold play ruled for some time. Roo&e rcoeiv- in,g the ball scored the second for the Normalay and straight away from the kick-oft the Carnarvon quintette brought the ball to the visiting- territory when If. Roberts again netted 'for Carnarvon. Taiis endied 1ih.3 scoring. Final: Carnarvon, 5; Normals, 2.

FRIARS SCHOOL v. BANGOR ATHLETIC. PLayed on the Friars Ground, on Saturday. F-riaæ took up the attack, and Owen, on the left, was prominent with tricky play. Athletic now took up the running, but Bam- ford relieved with a long punt. Thomas gained possession, and sooned with a good shot. On resuming Friars again pressed, and scored a second goal through Vernon Owen. Athletic began to bestir themselves, and were swarming around the Friars goal. Walfoixl sent outside the post. Athletic Kept up the pressure, and Pattison opened the score. Half-tAnue arrived: Friars, 2; Athletic, 1. The second half was stubbornly contested, and Friars played a nice game. Athletic were now having most of the play, and Patti- son quickly added two goals. From a break- ilway Llew. Jones equal-Leed with a splendid shot, a.nd a pleasant ganoo cmded;- Friars, 3; Athletic, 3.

BANGOR CELTS v. BANGOR ALSIONS. Played at Ffrkklbedd, I>arqg*or, on Saturday. The Colts pessed at tihei outset but was driven foactk.

Later Dick Roberts sccred. The Albions prea=ed again, and' a penalty enabled Retorts to scow. Hall-time: Albion 3, Celts 0. On resuming, the Celts pressed, and W. J. Roberts, the home centre, dribbled through and scored. The Celts oontiMued <m the aggweesive and Owens centred to Pattison, who without beei- ation, headed past tho goalie. The Celts tried hard to equalise, but the Albions' goaiio was sound. Final: Albion 3, Celts 2.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. LLANDUDNO JUNCTION SPARKS. The Junction men managied to beat LLamberis in their Iotgtlo match at -the Jomction on Satur- day. » Thoy have -thus secured all four points off tho "Quarrymen" this season. Better luck next time. Berries! It was mat a -aai,o one oouM ba enthusiastic about. The Junction wero decidedly the better ebeven, and had matters well in hand, The "Berries" played better football towards the close, when it was toq late, amd both tlheir goafe wore soared within the last ten miniutcs. 4. w Joe Il-ugfnes played well in ig-ow. In my opi nion lie is a safer .goalie than Gillatt. The two backs, Tom and "Now," were in good form. # R. W. Roberts was capital at oeaitro-half, amd Will Evans soamd to improve with every gams ho plays. Brookes-Evans also made a smart left half-back, displaying veryl oiever headwork. » Ernest Parry was the pick of the forward line. He kept the pack together in fine style, and what is perhaps more to the point, he soared two goals. » The new men in .t11JO forward line were sound, especially the inside-left, whilst the outside- rurhH was also a "trier." Sam Parry played a meat game throughout, but ho has b&an seen to bettor advantage. Tlue "Barries" are a sturdy Lot, and with a little more practice in the finer points of the jgiune, they will be at force tot be reckoned with in League football. » The "shininig lights" on Saturday were Bob Lloyd and "Now" Morris, who played a sterling game at full baok.

LLANRWST BOARD OF GUARDIANS. HOW TO DEAL WITH UNDESIRABLES. Mr John Roberts, J.P., presided at the monthly meetin.g of the above Board, on Tuesday. The following members were also present: Mr D. G. Jones (vice-chairman), the Revs, J. Gowier, J. Ll. Richards, amd Henry Jomes, Messrs LI. G. Jonles, J. Berry, W. G. Jones, E. P. Hughes, O. Lloyd Jones, J. Hugh.es, E. Mil's, J. 0. D. Jones, J. Owen, I&aac Hughtas, Evan Roberts, W. Evans, R. T. Ellis, and Mathew Roberts, together wdth Messrs T. H-ugihes (&-&Tk), O. Evans Jones and T. C. RobcTts (ndieving officers), and E. Hughes (master). A FORCIBLE CURE. The Master reported that a. navvy working at Dolgarrog bad been in the house undor medicati care for several days. He was not a resident of the district. The Rev. J. G-owctr said he rcm-embcted a simiLar case m Reading. The placing of a pokier in the fire proved, ao suggestive on that ocoaaion that the invalid jumped out of the bod cured, and was never more seen in that establishment (laughter). A suggestive mani- pulation of tibia ward pok-or mrght work won- ders amd cure the man referred to (renewed laughter). The Master: They always find their way back here (kuuighter). The Rev. J. Crowe*: Yes, especially wheal the weather is bad. Mr D. G. Jones: Well, we have to accept the charge, so let us go on with the business of the Board. WORKHOUSE STATISTICS. The Master reported that theme were 22 inmates in the house., against 23 during th-e corresponding period of iast year. Eighty vagrant^ had be tan .relieved, asagainst 72 du- ring the previous November. OUT-DOOR RELIEF. Mr T. C. Roberts reported that ho had paid .£70 5s 10d in out-door relief to 124 paupers during the last month. Mr 0. Evans Jones during the same period had paid .£105 to 145 paupers. Mr Roberts was granted a cheque for £ 68, and Mr Jones X110, to cover the relief for the ensuing Month. MANCHESTER SAUSAGES. The Master reported that one of the pigs recently purchased had expired, although every effort had been made to cune it by tho:) veterinary surgeon. Mr John Hughes: What did you do with th-e carcase.? Tho Master: Buried it. Mr J. Hugihes: Why didn't you send it to Manchester, to be, converted into sausages? (laughter). PUBLIC NURSING AGAIN. The Rev. J. Gowor said that as tllipa minutes of the previous m-oeting had not been con- firmed, he wes able to refer to the resolution adopted at the previous meeting to subscribe £3 3s towards the Pentrevcel as District Nurse Fund. Sinca then, he h.ad riecansideuTod the matter in a.ill its bearings, and, taking into consideration the cost of nursing of the small- pox case at Yspyty, and the fever case at Dolwyddelen, he had arrived at the conclu- sion that it would be advi&abja to increase tbKir subscription to £5 5s, as such a society was of inestimable value to tho community. Ht3 moved that the subscription to Pentre- YQ¡(.'la.s Society ,bo iincre«sed to X5 5e. The Chairman: You have prfcd right to move your resolution. Mx Mills: When we asked you for an addi- tional £ 2 2s to the subscription to the LI.a.n- rWst district nurse, you refused to ac:ju;ei,ce. The Rev. J. Gower: The case I iiefer to is in the minutes now under consideration, whereas there is no rele-renoe to the Llanrwst Society in them. Mr W. G. Jones: Whcm wo failed to get what wo wanted, woo did not take advantage of the minutes to reopen the question. I The Chairman: I did not know .at th-a last m»cietiiig that Car wen Union had given towards the Cerrig-ydruidion Society. There is a great deal of illness in the district at present, amd tlie new nUIs.e has had heir hands full since her appointment. Mr W. G. Jones If you guarantee that the Llanrwst Society is allowed a rise in the sub- scripticei, I will vote in favour of Mr Gower's proposal. Air Ll. G. Jones Why should the lAamrwst subscription be increased You have orly one nurse, who is assisted by a crowd of doc- tors. There is far more work in the other I.- districts. DolwyddidcQ cost £100 to the Gear- ianydd Council during the last few months, through the necessity of securing the services of nurses. Tharef-ore, a paltry sum of £5 58 subscribed towards the society would be money wcJJ. spent. Mr J. 0. D. Jccxe sc-oond-ed the motion. Mr M. Roberus: This money will go out of the oammon fim.ds of the Union, end horo we fiiiid Lian-rwet and Peuitrevoelas quarrelling over the distribution of the spoils, while you expect the remaindi:ir of the Unian to by and do nothing. Mr Berry W-e contend that if P.cntreroi>l-Mt rcoe-ivos a LJa-n-rwst ln-ust a have one. The Rev. J. Gower: The Ltanrwst district is smaJl compared to Peintr.evo;la3, as the nurse horo oan visit ten paticuts to one at P-omtrevoelas. The mc'tian was lost by one vote, as was, subsequently, pormissLcii to the Rev. J. (lower and Mr E. Mills to give notice of motuon in favour of increases to both .districts li&t. PENSIONS. On the motion of the Rev. Henry. Jones, seconded by Mr 0. Lloyd Jcenes, it was .1,e. cidied to ask the Local Government Board per- mission to pay the paupccs who are to be- come old-age pensioners their redei during first week in tho new year. CHRLSTMAS TREAT. The applioatioa of Mrs O wt.n, BrynynyT, for permission to give the iiirnut tt tiieix aur nual treat was gracefully granted.

DENBIGH BOEOUGH POLICE CODET. POACHING IN THE. RIVER YSTRAD. UNHAPPY MARRIED UFE. The Mayor presided at the fortnightly sitting of tho Dcnb crh Borough Bench on Friday, the other magistrates present being Messrs Robert Owen and Wm Parry. CHARGE AGAINST A DENBIGH MAN. Rcbort William Ellis, labourer, Denbigh, was summoned lor kiHing salmon in the river Ystrad on Sunday, the 13th ult. Mr Joseph Lloyd. Hhyl, prosecuted on behalf of the Clwvd and Elwy Board of Conservators, and Mr Walter 0. Jones, Ruthin, defended. James Ryan, water bailiff, said that on the day in question he was in hiding by the river near the Asylum, when the defendant came up, crossed the fish paes, cut a stick from the hedge, and tied a gaff to it. He then went on his knee' and gaffed a salmon. Witness rushed from his place, and the salmon was thrown out practically at his feet. The defendant at once ran off, leaving the salmon behind. Witness knew the defendant well, and there could be no doubt about his identity. Ellis, in his own behalf, said he had gone for a walk, and was standing on the footpath, when Ryan accosted him. He had neither stick nor gaff, and did not in any way whatever attempt to catch a fish. Ryan said to him, "This <s not the place for you, and unless you clear off I shall have you up for trespass." Witness then walked away Cross-examined: Ryan and ho were Act on very food terms, and even before these ptxjceedings came on Ryan had informed his employer (Col. Hughc-s) with tho view, presumably, of getting him into trouble. Mr Walter Jones pointed out that this was simply a case of one man's oath against another. There was no corroboration of any kind, and whatever doubt there was, Eilis was entitled to it. The Bench, whilst considering the case a sus- picious one, gave the defendant the bcnclit 01 the doubt, a.nd dismissed the charge. FINED FOR GAFFING SALMON. John Wynne and Edward Hughes, labourers, were then charged, the former with using a gaii for tho purpose of killing salmon, and the latter wdh aiding and abetting. The same solicitors acted in this case also. Ryan was again the prosecutor, and stated that between 11 and 12 o'clock on Sunday, the 13th of November, he saw two men—Edward and William Jones—walking up to the Ystrad Weir. Having remained there a tow minutes, they left, but returned in company with the two defend- ants. They aga.in separated. Soon afterwards Wynne took a gaff out of his pocket, tied it to a stick, and caught a salmon. Before witness could get to the spot, the men went away. He, however, covered tho two Jones's, who signed a statement to the effect that Wynne gaffed a salmon. Cross-examined: The man Wdliam Jonos also went on his knees by the river, but did no harm. Edward Jones and William Jones, both resid- ing at Wesley Yard, Denbigh, were called as witnesses for the prosecution, both stating thai Wynne gaffed a salmon. For the defence, Wynne and Hughes stoutly denied having used", gaff at ail. They simply went for a walk by the river side, and never dicJ anything wrong They did not even see the bailiff during the time they were by the river. The statements made by the two other men were deliberate lies. After hearing Mr Walter Jones, the Bench dismissed the case against Hughes, but fined Wynne 5s and 12s Ed oosts. AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE. ElJe-n Millward, living at 72, Henllan-street, applied for a. separation order against her hue- band, Robert Millward. Mr A. E. Jones, who appeared for tho appli- cant, his client had been deserted by her husband on the 1st of October. The marriage took place in November, 1902, and there were two young children. There were, however, two other children, of whom the applicant was the mother, and they seemed to have been the cause of much trouble between the parties. The de- fendant, however, knew about them before marry- ing the complainant. On the 29th of Septem- ber the defendant was taken to Ruthin Gaol on a committal order, but was released on the fol- lowing day Since then his wife had had no communication from him, neither had he contri- buted anything towards the support of his family. He was a carter in constant employment, earn- ing 20s a week. Mrs MIlward gave evidence, and in cross- examination by Mr Moscley admitted that alia had contracted debts, but did so with her hus- band's knowledge. Sho had not run away with another man. In reply to the Mayor, Mrs Millward said sh > cared not whether her husband came back to her or not. The defendant, giving evidence, said that dur ing the whole of his married life he gave the whole of his wages to his wife, but siie had contracted debts because she was using the money in an improper manner. Sho was often drunk. The Bench granted a judicial separation, bui gave the custody of the two children to the huS- band, he to piy 5s a week towards the supporj of his wife, and also the court fees ALLEGED GAME TRESPASS. William Owen, labourer, Henllan-street, was charged with being on land in pursuit of game on the 18th of November. P.C. Williams, Nantglyn, said that at 8 o'clock in the evening he saw defendant coming from Gwaeny.nog Park into a <i'oo:)a-thj, and found upon him three rabbits, a net, and several pegs. John Smith, gamekeeper, corroborated The defendant produced a written permit from Isaac Thomas,- Gwyndy, authorising him to kill rabbute on his land, and the justices adjourned the ease for a fortnight to enable the defendant to call Thomas to .identify the permit. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. John Gilmore, chimney sweep, Henllan-street, was bound over for six months in the SlIm of S5 on a charge of being drunk and disorderly.

The London and North Western Railway Com- pany have made compk-te arrangements for tho ooilcction, quick transit, and prompt delivery of Christmas parcels in all the principal towns on their system, and all parts of Wales, Scotland. and Ireland. Special "parcel" trains will be run, and through vans will also be attached to the principal passenger trains for th.' accommo- dation of the"traffic, and additional delivery and oollection services by parcel vans and carts be- tween the receiving offices and tho railway sta- l tions will be in operation during Christmas and the preceding week.

The goalkeeper jumped up and sent the ball out to H. Jones, who was a yard or two away. Jones, however, sent in a tremendous shot-over the bar. The liglitc-st of tips wouldi have done the trick' H. j. Davies, however, scored BANGOR'S FOURTH GOAL, which was one of the soft variety, hardly evoking a cheer. The ball was continually hov- ering about the Pwllheli goal, and the home forwards aimed shot after shot at Bob Owen. A penalty was awarded against Pwllheli (the offence it was impossible to see as darkiiieas ast in), and Arthur Owen took the kick. Bob Williams, however, saved with his foot, and the opportunity came to naujglst. WWitl Hugb&J caused some uneasiness to Banger by a solo run up tihe field, and he "direw" Thomas from his post, but ho finished up a trifle wide. It was now irnlyisibte to follow the moverrw-.rut of the players, and the dirawing of the curtain, was very weloc.me. Final; Bangor Reserve 4. TwUholi iril.
