Football Notes. (BY "VIGILANT.") Ye men of Holyhead, what a narrow shave you had on Saturday in. your cup tie wiith Llandud- no. Strangle, is i(tn,ot, but nevlerthelieiss true, that you thought you had an easy thing on. Very oft does the unexpected happen, and begona m-ethinks you .are lucky indieied! that vau are to have another try for the cup. It is true yez gave Jim Williams more to cfc» than Collier had, but they were long pops and lacked "skiensie," and your movements were very disjointed and often wild, whilst Llandudno', on the ether hand, played classy football, and workedl the ball up by method' and cohesion, and of course did not adopt the long pot business as you did. I t fancy I hear some of you Holyhead people say "Oh what an idea!" If such be so I can only say a black is a bklickand a white, is a white. 1* If there was one thing above another that struck everyone as standing out in boldl promiin. ence, it was the grim determination that the Amateurs put inito their work. Not one man was below par, :all working with a swing that was delightful to behold. Never have the little Amateurs played1 more nobly or more gamely. Werle you not surprised, Percy? I know that the great Parry was, and,, I undersltand he averred that he olid not think they should have had so much trouble with the dear little Amateurs as they had. I am of opinion that had the weather been dry. the Amateurs,would have made, rings round you and run you off your feet. Great "swank," isn't it, Tiny but true, my lad'. Qnife true, and think of the escape you had. This will occur if you play seven forwards in- stead of six, and play your one back game. How could you, noble Harbourmen, return to the Port with teing beaten by the ignominious Amateurs, who- had tremendous presumption to consider themselves yo'ur equals? Why, it seems absurd, in the face of the fact that you have played such talent as Llanfyllin and Aber- ystwyth. But, like Captain Cuttle, make a note of this fact, boys, these same bold bad! Amateurs beat the Bangor Combination at Pwllheli for this cup, and they are going to. have it again, if possible, and that at your expense. No, did you say. Well, om Wednesday we shall see what woe. slhall see. A friend remarked to me on ti -o ,sitan,di that he never is,aw Flolyhead1 play worse, but at the same time he admitted the play of Llandiudno was. quite a revelation, and a brother of the nimble Chiarlie, Burnis told me a month ago., in answer to any query as to the prospects of Llandudinoi with Holyhead., that the Cormor- antst "hadn't a smell of a chance." I saw him OR Saturday after the match, and he admitted his miscalculation in the matter, that the Ama- teurs were the superior team. So you see, you Sir Fonites, you must look your opponents steadily in the face amdiadmit you have a nut to' crack when you meet. If you crack the nut, I will give you your meed1 of praise, but I must confess that I have, a ,strong presentiment that the cup is not going to Holyhead this season. I may be wrong in my thoughts, but no one can fine yaufor thinking, can they, Percy? ■K: -1(. Well, after all this assurance (or do. you rather the expressive wordi "swank"?), let us jusit give a passing glance at the players. Collier was generally .safe, with one exception, when he ran out of goal, and the Tiny Bach" Hotchkiss nearly upset his, goal with a crasher that was done in inimitable style. Tiny "Mawr" Conlan and his big brother Parry were often done, and that to the world, but Conlan's. runs when facing his own goal, as he -splashed through the mud, were distinctly pretty. With what ease and grace he carried, tha,t portly corporation of his, and there is an element of grace in the manner in which he cocks his right leg up. So unlike the "usis," s,tyle. of the bulky Parry, who- some- hc,w,doe.s, not sail- in the same boat as Tiny for gracefulness. W. T. Jones is a model centre- half, beautiful in physique., and vigorous in play, and yet he was, not in his- best form, I quoth, .on Saturday. Dick Ellis was fairly, as. per usual, and played .a cleaner game than when he confronted! Aberystwyth. Taylor was a great plodder, but my impression was that he could not cope with Tinv Hotchkiss-, who was far toO' adroit for him. H. Roberts was lazy and in- effective O. B. Edwards had not the glamour of his 'reputation unfoldted, and J. Rowlands was medium. F,rancey Bogue was, the pick of the quintette., whilst Hughie Brown-, with the open. ings he had, was a failure. I wonder what Hotc.hkiiss would have done with your chances, Hughie ? Jim Williams wasi the hem of the day. His s.avea were marvellous, and his general display par excellence. Maintain this form in the- re- play, Jim, and ,samething will happen, old! boy! Jack Lunt and Charlie Roberts were cool and decidedly effective. Harold Pe.arson played the game. of hiis life, while. Georgie, Davies was, a regular stulitifier in the centre-half position. Jacob was Jacob, and only -erred in giving Hughie Brown so much "rope." Little Aldter- son—good old Al,dy,-you did the trick, old boy, and your father was looking at you, as well. Br-avoi. Aldemson, and so say all of us. Bob Welch was smart and tricky, as Bob always is, and Johnnie WTilliamsi was an excellen,t pivot, and had he got some of his thunderera in Collier would' wear a wry face. Brookes-Evans is thie most improved forward of the Amateurs. His play was adimirable, and! I am sorry he did not score. You know what I mean, Brookes^? As to the versatile "Herb," or our little Tiny of the Amateurs, Saturday wa's. not his day for display. iing his prowess and .genius. Weather too bad, ground too slippy, andl yet, with all these dis- advantages, was there -a forward on. the field to touch you. Tiny? I think not. Thy praises I ■wall not v-aunt more -than hope you will come out of your shell in the replay. So be it.

Referee Swallows His Whistle.
Referee Swallows His Whistle. SAVED BY THE CHAIN. A match between Mos-tyn and Greenfield teams was stopped for some time on Saturday owing to a singular accidient. The referee was follow- ing up the igaime, and held his whistle between his teeth, the chain, of a good length, being attached to his vest. Inadvertently he swallowed the whistle instead of blowing it. His struggle to extract the metal whistle attracted, the atten- tion of the players ,who" rushed to the rescue. Choking and fast collapsing, the referee was seen to be in considerable difficulty and danger. One of the players grasped the chain, and, after some careful manipulation, succeeded in with- drawing the whistle from the referee's gullet. There was very little -animation in the referee for some time after the awkward inoideimt.
The Light Railway.
The Light Railway. LLANDUDNO COUNCIL'S RESOLUTE ACTION. The Llandudno Council on Friday night con- sid,ered the draft order recommended by the Light Railway Commissioners varying the order of 1898 authorising the Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Electric Tramway. The proposed amend- ments are the result of the recent inquiry, and have already been discussed, by the Colwyin Bay authority. After considerable discussion Mr M'Master moved that generally the^ Council object to what. ever there- was 'in the order that was inconsistent with the agreements entered into with. the Com. pany. The. Chairman (Mr Marks) said -it was all very well for a lawyer to say, as no doubt the Town Clerk would do, that the agreements would not be overriden by the order, but it was possible that in the future,the.Co-ul-loil would be put to a great deal of expense in fighting that very point. The Town Clerk (Mr Conolly) said he agreed with the Chairman, -and he advised that they should ask for a clause specially reserving to the local authority their rights under the agreements. Mr Sarson secoaidled the .resolution, and it was carried unanimously, with the addition that the clause should specify in detail the terms of the agreements, including that prohibiting Sunday traffic without the Council's consent. It was pointed out that, notwithstanding the explicit pledge that the line would be carried to Dale-street, West Shore, it had not been laid beyond the end of Gloddaeth-street. Mr M'Master moved that the Board of Trade be asked to order that if the Campany did not forthwith complete the line to Dale-street and carry out the agreements an all other details the Urban Council be authorised, to take possession of the railway in the district, and work it inde. pendently of the Company. Mr J. O. Thomas seconded this, and it was carried. It was deoidedi that counsel should be engaged to draw up the objections to. the draft and to appear, if necessary, before the Board, of Trade. The Council on March 1st, gave the Company notice that thay were, prepared, in accordance with the Company's request, to supply them with current. Mr M'Master pointed out that the minimum rental for current, ^"1,000 per annum, was pay. able monthly on demand. He moved that the Council at once send a demand for 68o, the first month's instalment. Mr T. W. Griffith: Give them a chance. The Chairman said that .as ia matter of law the minimum was for a year, and the Council must wait for a year before it would be clJue. The Clerk Deiad the clause as to monthly pay- ment, which it was seen referred; to current supplied. Mr Chantrey: They might take all the minimum amount in the last two months of the year. Mr !vI']\¡f'asiter's proposition was defeated.
INorth Wales Cricket Notes.
North Wales Cricket Notes. (BY POINT.) With characteristic energy, Mr .E. P. Morris, Secretary and Treasurer of the North Wale-s County Cricket Association, has already got his arrangements for sie,ason 1907 vkll in hand. From the very first, when Lord Mostyn evinced his great interest in the movement, the c-ounty scheme may be said to have made excellent pro. gress, and it is most 'gratifying to see that the Association is this year to be 'governed by a number of .men whose names are azuarantoo tha,t this progress shall be continued. As was natural, Lord Mostyn has again been elected President, while Mr. E. Andrews, of Porfima-doc, from previous experience I have had -,of him, will make an idieal chairman for the Executive. The riepreisentajtiv.es of the three counties are for the mos,t part keen cricketers them selves. -To Carnarvonshire's iillter-eslts will be ably cham- pioned by Ir. J. H. Addie (Glynllifon), Mr. S. L. Lewis (B-angor), Mr. Andrews- (Portmadoc), and Ir. A. G. Rogeris (Conway). Denbighshire will be represented as follows :—Rev. D. J. Bow-en (Ruabon), Ernest Jones (Johnstown), C. Cooper Morris (Llanrwst), aind C. C. Moit (Ruthin). Flintshire will be represented by Major Keene (Mold), Major Dyson (Flint), H. Moore (Buckley), and J. Ing-lis (Mostyn). 7 The county fixtures for 1907 have been- arranged as follows: — June 26th and 27th, Flintshire v. Denbighshire at Mold. July loth and nth, Carnarvonshire v. Den- bighshire at Pwllheli. July 25th and 26th, Denbighshire v. Flintshire at Llangoll-en. August 7th and 8th, Flintshire v. Carnarvon- shire at Mostyn. August 12th and 13th, Denbighshire v. Car- narvonshire at Denbigh. August 28th and 29th, Carnarvonshire v. Flintshire at Llandudno. I give below the revised rules of the Associa- tion, which may come in useful for reference purposes. There are no very striking changes, and this is not .surprising, because the rules were about as sound as any that could have been found from the very first:- 1. The Association sihail be called the North Wales County Cricket Association. 2. The objects of the Association are to en- courage amateur .cricket in North Wales, and to arrange home and home fixtures between the counties affiliated to the Association. 3. The management of the Association shall be vested in the President, Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, and three representatives elec- ted annually from each county affiliated to the Association" The county Secretaries shall be ex-officio- members of the Association. The Chairman of any Committee shall have a vote, also a casting vote. 4. The Associatio'sn -shall -meet for the trans- action of business at such times as may be fou^d necessary upon notice by the Secretary, or at the request of any affiliated county. "5. Each affiliated county shall subscribe to the Association the sum of one guinea per an- num, but is, liable to a further call on accounts being presented showing that such a call i-s necessary. 6. The county -matches shall be run on purely amateur lines, and no, club professional shall be allowed to play in any OOlulllty fixtures, but if any -club desires, to pay a player's out of pocket expenses or for loss of time they .shall have the power to do so. 7. A cricketer born in one county and residing in another may not play for more than one county during the -same season. S. A cricketer is always eLigible to play for the county of his birth. 9. A cricketer is qualified to play for any county in which he has resided for the previous 12 months. 10. A cricketer may play for his old county during the two years that he is qualifying for another. I I. A player boom or resident in one affiliatec. county and a bona-fide playing member of a club "situate in another affiliated county must choose which county he will play for, such choice to hold good' for two years. 12. Each county shall provide its own umpire, but it is desirable, that neutral umpires be selected as much as possible. 13. The county club of the county in which 1 the match is played Ishall be entitled to decide upon the ground' it shall be played. The club on whose ground the match is to be played shall be responsible for the preparation of the pitch, shall bear all expenses Íin connection with the match, and shall be entitled to the full proceeds of the match iin- the way of gate,money. 14. Any question in dispute arising out 01 the •!o're°'oin"r rules or m any match shall be settled bv °the° Association at a special or ordinary meeting duly convened by the Secretary. ic. The annual meeting of the Association shall be held in the month of January, to re- ceive 'reports and accounts-, and to transact- any other business. Local clubs here and there are. beginning to pay to the turf it is perhaps a lifttie too early to expect solid work in the shape of practice. From information I have been able to.obtai,n from players, Llanrwst and Llandudno promise extremely well. Good «ws of this kind does not come from Conway. Unless there is a considerable infusion of new blood from some- where, it is feared that the Borough eleven may have a rough time. It is a well-known fact that Conrvvav have the material for a first-class eleven, but of "the old cricketers of the town do not give the club the support and encouragement it de- serves. But I shall have more to say of the doings of the local clubs a.s, one by one, they shakle off the rust of the somewhat severe winter.

COAST JUNIOR CUP-FINAL.
Noith Wales Football. (Continued from Page 10). Mr Vincent, of Llandudno, again acted as referee, being assisted also by the same lines- ^■en, Messrs Meirs and: Heap, of Colwyai Bay. Soon after 3.30 Mr Vincent had 'the team?. lined out, before a fair gate, in the following order Rhyl: Hughes Ellis, J. Williams J. Hughes, J- T. Ellis, R. Hughes; Robin Hughes, T. ■hughes, T. Harrison, G. Glass, J. Hughes. Llanrwst: Finohett; R. D. Richards, W. Trevor; Gren Jones, Dei Thomas, France Wil- liartts; Carter, Williams, Dick Evans, Roberts, Richards. inning the toss;, Dick Evans at once had his ^n. lined out, and) for the first portion played down the slope towards the College. The Vies, started through Harrison, only to see Dick Evans take the ball from his toe. Amid excite- ment he made1 tracks towards Hughes, and after Setting the best of Ellis, flashed the ball out to Garter, and in the first minute. Hughes was al,,Ilosi defeated-, Evans'' attempt just going over. the goal kick the Vies, went gaily on the ri:g'ht, Robin Hughes being just too late to get to the ball, which went over the line. Although Playing up the slope', the Vies, were having the "fcst of the game, at this point. Harrison being Prominent with some tricky touches. Taking advantage of a pass from Glass, the Rhyl centre an open goal at his mercy, whein the veteran y&voi rushed up and cleared in the nick of ^e, but the ball was soon hovering round f'.mchett again R.

Coming again through short passing Movements, it looked like Rhyl scoring, when Hobexts was penalised, this being a welcome re- to the Reds. A foul against Richardis saw .-tilis put over. It was now the turn of the ^wisters, and they miade headway through Dick ^vans and Roberts, the former finishing up a ni}e movement with a soft shot. Hughes saved ease. Again the Rhylites came, with rare da-sh, R, D. blocking the ball, and savimg what 3-Ppeared a certain' goal. A timely pass by Richard to Evans, saw the latter ishoot tamely tti.

Hughes ?ailing to get at the ball, \yith only Finchett to ^a-t, the leather rolling over the goal line. Some midfield play was now the rule, the ^•wsters seldom getting dangerous. Capital opportunities to Llanrwst were lost through Wil. ^anas, the inside right, being funky. Robin ^ughes ran jj-tg length of the field, and forced a corner off Trevor. The flag kick was grandly Placed, Glass heading over. Harrison got r°ugh om his own, and he appeared' all over scorer, when R. D. again came' from some- vh_eTe5 and Harrison lost possession. This was Unfortunate for the Rhyl pivot, as he was only a yard or two an front of Finchett. There was doubt whatever that llhyl were now tihe uperior side. They seemed to do everything ut score, thanks; to. the defence. At last the Pllv-sters woke up in earnest.

The losers did not rise to the occasion, although I confess they played somewhat better this time than at the former meeting. The forwards played a better game, but the defence was not at all safe. Finchett gave a fine exhibition in goal, and could not be blamed for the goals that passed him, with the exception of the last. He should have left the ball alone, which would have gone behind. Of the backs, Richards was far ahead of Trevor. The old warrior was not at all safe. He went clean off in, the latter portion of the game. France and Gren seemed to be rather slow, but Thomas, as usual, worked hard from start to finish. Dick Evans did not seem to be in his usual form, whilst Carter was left in the cold bv Williams!. Roberts was the most busy of the five, and was assisted very fairly in the second portion by Richards. I am sorry that the game bird has come a cropper for the cup but let us hope that the. old 'Rwster will come out next season, with a strong League team.

That they fully delslervedl the goal they had, although it seemed that the fates were against them for -so- long. That Collier was a master between the sticks. That Holyhead were not in their true form. That I reckon they will make amends for it in the replay. That the -game is bound to be a great one, a'I1,d I hope the weather will be favourable. That it is a wonder they played so well under such, filthy ground conditions.
