The ground was somewhat slippery. Hobby scored for Denbigh, and three minut33 after the start, Tuckfield equalising shortly afterwardg. Slime clever passing was dis- played on both sides, and owing to a wiskick, the Mancott backs gave the home forwards a chance, of which they availed themselves, Thomas Jones placing the second goal to their credit. The visitors' forwards now dashed away, and displayed some very tricky passing, which was well applauded by the spectators, and again madq matters (qual. Bpfore half-time Osborne Jones again scored tor the home ga i n i;coref i for the i)oti?e team, and on crossing over, the score stood in favor of Denbigh hy three goals to two. Upon resuming, the visitors pressed fcr sortie time, but, owing to the (lis- abled condition of their riglit wing, could not break through the homesters' defence. At It-fst, however, their efforts were rewarded by Garratt scoring. Then the play was carried into the visito.s' quarters, and gave the United's defence a hard time. The homesters, however, failed to break through, and a very fast and exciting game ended in a draw of three coals each. SECOND DIVISION. I v RON V. WREXHAM VICTORIA —Played at Vror, on Saturday.

MR OSBORNE MORGAN AND MR CHAMBERLAIN. The Right Hon. G. Osborne Morgan, M.P., has addressed the following reply to a correspondent who asked for his opinion as to the probable effect of Mr Chamberlain'n recent letter on Welsh public opinion:— Mr dear air,-Thanks for your letter of yesterday. Aft-r Sir William Harcourt's trenchant criticism of Mr Chamberlain's manifesto any general observations of mine on that document would be quite superfluous; but, as to its effect upon Welsh public opinion, a word or two from me may not be out of place. Translated into plain English, Mr Chamberlain's advice to the Nonconformists of Wales comes to this—'If you want disestablishment, do not vote for the party who have made that question a foremost plank in their platform, but vote for a Government which forced the Tithe Bill through Parliament, did its best to burk the discussion on Welsh dis- establishment in the House of Commons, which has never lost an opportunity of irritating and affronting you, and of proclaiming devotion to the Establish- ment which you are pledged to overthrow." To suppose that Welshmen can be taken in by such an appeal is an insult to their intelligence. But the most diverting part of the business is that this appeal was addressed to the agent of the candidate, who is par excellence the champion of the Church defence party, and was read to a meeting which is said to have received it, not unnaturally, with blank con- sternation. In the meantime, I hear from all sides that while the manifesto has been read by Welsh Tories with something like a shudder, it has fur- nished our friends with much innocent amusement, and has largely adtled to the stock of Christmas merriment, so pleasing a feature of this festive season. A statesman, as Mr Chamberlain has himself proved, may get over being abused. I am not to sure that he can as easily get over being laughed at.- Yours truly, G. OSBORNE MORGAN.

ABERGELE. ASSAULTING THE POLICE..—On Saturday, a case cf an alleged assault up III a police-constable occupied a considerable time in hearing. Mr Wallis Davifs. solicitor, Abergele, appeared for the prosecutor, P.G: Robert Henry Davies, Abergele, who charged John Hughes, Plasnewydd-buildings, and Thomas Evans. shoemaker, Peel-street,, with having committed an assault upon him on Christmas Eve. The constable said that the defendants were with several other young men in the street about 11 30. and were told to go home. He then went down Water-street to another crowd,. who were singing and making a noise, and he ordered them home. The defendants had, followc-d him, and Hughes assaulted him, someone in the crowd also hitting him with a stone until he became insensible, and the crowd then went away.

NOTES AND QUERIES. I Better late than never is still the motto of some. By exerting themselves a little they manage to arrive at their place of worship before the benediction is pronounced. By crossing a small sheet of ice he saved half-a-mile in getting home. But when he did arrive it took him two hours to dry his clothes. The ice brok". Its wondeiful how far off dogs can be heard barking all day and night. But it is far more wonderful their owners cannot hear them when chained up at their back doors. There are twelve places of worship within two miles of Rossett st vtion. Only two watchnight services were held.

Another novelty was a Welsh song by the newly-appointed schoolmistress at Eyton, Mi-p Peace. The humorous part of the programme was as usual sustained hv Mr Bernard Lewis in Mu-sels and Cockles." Next cnl1.e the event of the evening, namely, the presentation. The Chairman (ltev. G. H. McGill) said You know this meeting and concert tr-night- are for the purpose of taking farewell of Bennett. For six years she has labored amongst us. She has done her duty as it ought to be dt)tie,. and we are all very pleased with the way in which it has been performed. The treasurer, Mr Royds, is net well, and Dr. Gobat promised to be here I hope he is not ill. He would corroborate all I say of Nuree Bennett. I believe Mr Parry h:ls some communica- tion from Mr Royds. A purse is to be presented to the nurse, aud I beiieve it wil not he an empty one. I believe that no one has refused to give. From Mr Peel, Brynypys, down to the poorest parishioner she has shown the same aptitude, the same kindness, and the same love. (Cheers.)—Miss McGill was then called upon to make the presentation, and in doing so said :NLurt;e Bennett, I have veiy great pleasure on behalf of the i-ubscribers in presenting this purse of money.

Morgan Parry, in which she expiessed her heart-felt thanks t,) all. Rev. J. Morgan Parry read a letter from Mr Royds, stating that he was exceedingly sorry he could not be present owing to illness. He (Mr Royds), for one, would sincerely regret the departure of Nurse Bennett, and he was sute she would leave behind her many grateful hearts. Mr R iyds went < n to speak of the number of cases Nurte Bennett had attended, and then asked if the woi k was to he coiitiiiued ? The in- come was about £30, expenditure £50, balance at the batik C70. They would therefore at this rate have only sufficient to provide a nurse for eighteen months. In oonclusion Mr Royds wrote that a resident nurse was most desir-ble, but if more money was not forth- coming this was impossible.-The programme, which was well sustained, was as follows :-Solo pianoforte, Miss Gray song, Mr A.

RHYL. THE IMPROVEMENT COMMISSIONERS. The monthly meeting was held at the Town Hall on Monday, Mr W. E. WiUi?ms presiding. Tne Chair- man said the following telegram had been received from H.R.H the Piince of Wales in answer to a con- gratulatory letter upon the approaching marriage of the Duke of Clarence and Avondate t) Princess May of Tock-" St. James's Palace, 29.h December. I sincerely thank the Rhyl Improvement (Commissioners for kind congratulations. ALBERT EDWARD. "-A letter had also been received from the Lord Mayor of London, in answer to the resolution of the Board con- gratulating his lordship upon his appointment, which was as follows December 24th. My dear sir, I am in receipt of your leltsr, enclosing your con- gratulatory and flattering resolution, passed by the Rhyl Improvement Commissioners at their last monthly meeting, and shall be glad if you will convey to the Commissioners my cordial thanks for their con- gratulations and good wishes, which I heartily appre- ciate and reciprocate, and please assure them that 1 am looking forward to my fort licoming visit to your beauti- ful town with the kepnest delight and pleasure. DANIEL EVANS, Lord May(ir.Tlie Chairman e"H that being the first meeting in the new year he had great pleasure in wishing the members of the Board a happy and prosperous new year. Th9 past year had been an eventful year for RSyi in a great many ways, and on the whole it had been a prosperous one. (Hear, hear.)—Mr S, Perks. J.P., on behalf of the Board, thanked the chairman for his remal kill, and said he had. great pleasure in returning the compliment.-Several candidates apply- ing for the appointment of general foreman were in attendance, but the appointment was deferred to a special meeting to be held next Monday.—The Clerk (Mr A. Rowlands) reported that he had succeeded in reducing the bill of costs in connection with the Rhyl Gas Bill to 1:76 17" 8 I.-In proposing the adoption of the minutes of the General Purposes Committee, Mr P. Mostyn William", referring to the Water Bill, said they had amended the same, which had been approved by counsel, and he thought it would hear favorable comparison to the Bills of the Ahergete Authorities and the Rhyl Water Company. They bad adopted in the Bill a rate of 7 per cent. on the rateable value instead of 6. They had special charges on small tenements, which they believed would add another i per cent. to the general average, so therefore it would amount to 74 per cent. for the whole rateable value of the district. The Water Company were raising their rate from 61 per cent, to ten per cent. on the rateable value, and, that being so, they were seriously thinking whether it would not be advisable for them to go in for a higher rating power of J per cent. for their maximum, which, if agreed upon, would still leave a margin of 2i per cent. between themselves and the Water Company. He diii not think the Abergele or St. Asaph Authorities would object.—Captain Keatinge said he had had a con- sultation with Mr Baker, of London, their Parlia- mentary agent, and from that he learnt that they would be best studying the interests of Rhyl by work- ing amicably with the Abergele Board.—The minutes were passed.

HOLYWELL. PAUPER FUNERALS.—At the Board of Guardians on Friday, under the presidency of Mr Scott Banket-, a discussion arose as to the provision of palls at pauper fun-rals, the Chairman holding that they were Hn- unece.-sary.

At St. Asaph, the other day, a coffin had to he tied up with ropes to lower it —The Chairman That wai very shocking. A good coffin is absolutely necessary. We all wish the dead to be buried decently, but we are the custodians of public money, and I don't thiiik we are justified in allowing a pall when it is unnec»S3ary.—Mr William Thomas said there was a general feeling among the working classes that it waa disrespectful to the dead not to have a pall and, that being so, he should vote for one being allowed.—The Chairman said he would be the last person to wish that any disrespect should he shown to the dead. Nothing was more illdtcent than a bad coffin or any- J thing of that kind.—A further oiscussion took place as t > the vagrant question, and it was decided to memoralisethe police committee tohavea plainclothes man on duty in Holywell to detect begging by ttamps, tha opinion being that they would not come unless they could ?et alma in the town.—The Cierk reported the balance in hand to be 21,357, and cheques were drawn for 92,04S.-At the meeting of the rural sanitary committee a discussion took place as to the provision of a systc-m of scavenging .t Buckley and Connah\; Quay, and it was resolved to advertise for tenders to do the work.
