A FOOTBALL PROPHET. STRANGE CARNARVON STORY. SOME STARTLING PREDICTIONS. (SPECIAL). A Carnarvon man, who is keenly in- terested in football, has had Home very startling a,nd peculiar eacperienees lately. The story seems a atra.nge amd almost in- credible one, but we have made the fullest enquiries, and are quite satisfied as to the truth of the otatlements made. But it. mujStt be understood that we are responsible solely for the a.eooun.tt,'pnblis'htd iin our own columns. A report published in a. daily paper was evidently taken from our Welsh papers, but it also contained several additions which were, to say the least, not accurate. The young main in question, for several weeks in succession, dreamt on Friday night of the matches to be played on the Satur- day, and imvariably informed his fellow- worlcmen of the result, as he predicted it, ON THE SATURDAY MORNING before the match was played. These pre- dictions were- at first not taken very seriously, but when, week after week, they wera found to be corroborated by the re- suiit. as is sihovvn by the list- we append, incredulity gave place to a. feeliug of wonder, fully sluared by the ^r earner him, self. We have every reason to know that he himself is as much in the dark :1>" every- one el&o concerning this, strange pheno- menon, and we aiso know it to be a. fact that he foretold the results on the worniing ,f the day of each match. It will be seen that the number of dream- goals, so to speak, and the number of actual goals scored do not coincide, but the proportion was always correct. Thus, tho dreamer foretold Carnarvon 2, Bangor 0, a difference of two goals. The actual re- sult was: Carnarvon 3. Bangor 1, also a difference of two goajs. Of c-ourse,, the most remarkaible and- startling event waa the foretelling, in part, a,t any rate, of the lamentable fatal accident tha..t happened at the last inter-collegiate ma.tch at Bangor. The young man eame down to work on the morning of th-e, da.v of the match, and told his lei'low-workmen that he had dreamt of two strange teams playing. Then ho raw what he describes as a "row." One player, whom Ira did not know, was thrown down and hurt, and there was considerable excitement. The details were vague, bat they were sufficient to indicate a tragedy of some sort. It wa'JI purely by accident that the ma-n who had direamt thia went to see the matc-h in quest.ofn., and the first, thing he saw on the real field was poor R. H. Williaims-, who had been hurt and died shortly afterwards, leaving the ground. The whole story would be incredible, were the facts not so well authenticated. Below we give some of the most REMARKABLE PREDICTIONS Beaumaris v. Bangor at Beaumaris.— Beaumaris, 1; Bangor, 0. (Actual roattJt Boa.am.arLs, 3; Bangor, 2). This result w as unexpercted from a Bangor point of view, as they had sent some C-cimbin-aticoii players to hed,p the reserves. Bangor v. Carnarvon at Banngor. — Car- narvon, 2; Bangor, 0. (Actual result: Carnarvon, 3; Bangor. 1). Tin,, result was. no doubt, the sensation of tlie football sea- son in North Wales. Beaumaris v. Carnarvon (first semi-final). —Carnarvon leading one to nil half-time, but failed to follow too g^iW farther. (Actual result a.t half-time: Carnarvon. 1: Beaumaris, 0). The difficulty after, probably, is accounted for by the extra, tiime played'! 1 Ba?S°r ,V' Ch'«5ter.Bangor, 3; Chester, 1. (Actuail result: Bangor, 3; Chester, 2i. Thus was the first defeat sustained by the Chester teajm up to date. That the Bangor v. Welshpool (Combina- tion) and Carnarvon v. Festiniog (North Wo.les Coast League) would terminate with line same scores. Result of both matciies 6—0. -• i

CRICCIETH WATER SUPPLY. A SHARP DLSOUSSION. A meeting of the Criccieth Council was held la3t Monday evening, Dr Gladstone Jones in the chair. THE WATER WORKS. Half of tiie £ 8,000 loan given by the Liv- erpool Corporation towards the new water works would be paid forthwith.—The work of laying down new pipes and constructing the trenches had been stopped owing to baa weather.—The purchase oi the works had been completed.—Over £ 29 were due on account of the water rate, and notices to pay up would be served on all defaulters.— When Mr Watkin proposed the- adoption of the new scale of charges* for water supply for stables, garages, &c., Mr J. S. Griffith moved that the matter be referred back to the committee, as the users of the water had not been notified of the intention oi the Council to raise the charges. Mr Griffith s amendment led to an animated discussion between him and Mr J. T. Jones, Mr Griffith charged the committee with not knowing anything at all about what they had 3one, and asked Mr J. T. Jones what did he pay for water supply?—Mr J. T. Jones said that he had plenty of water on his own land, and said" that Mr Griffith 'charged men who had been for many years on the Council with being ignorant of the work they had to do. Mr Griffith was amongst the foremost to advocate purchase of the water works, and now he opposed the laying of a rate for the supply of wa.ter for stables, garages, &e.—JMr Griffith said that scale would be unfair. Though he had 11 carriages, he frequently used only one or two of them, and at the utmost only six at a time. Yet he would have to pay for the 11.—Mr Watkin's. motion was passed.
