Roose (Sunderland) backs, Lloyd Davies (Northampton) and C. Morris (Derby County) half backs, E. Hughes (Nottingham Forest), E. Peake (Liverpool), and LI. Davies (Wrexham) right wing, W Meredith (Manchester United) and George Wynn (Man- cheater City) left wing, R. Evans (Shenield United) and G.

The Scottish team to oppose England on Satur- day next was selected in Glasgow on Monday as to-Hows:—Brownlie (Third Lanark); Law (Rangers) and Hay (Celtic) Aiken (Leicester Fosse), Thomson (Sunderland), and M'William (Nefwcastle United') Bennett (Rangers), M'Meneimy (Celtic), Quinn (Celtic), Higgins (Nefwcastle United), and Templeton (Kilmar- nock). The teatm is strong forvl'ard, Higgins being the only change from the five which defeated the English League. The backs are a surprise selection, the exclusion of Walker at half being unexpected. All o'ver, however, the eleven is well built, and Scottish opinion is favourable to its chances.

NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. CONWAY v. LLANRWST. VISITORS VICTORIOUS. There was barely a handful of spectators to witness the above match on the Morfa on Satur- day .afternoon. The weather was ideal, but the majority of the home supporters wended their way to Llandudno Junction to witness the semi- final round of the London and North Western Railway Temperance Shield between the Junc- tion and Northampton. The homesters were in great difficulty in getting a team together, and it was not until the Last minute that eleven play- ers were found. Mr. C. J. Thomas had charge of the teams, the visitors being pretty nearly fully represented. ith a strong sun ln their faces LIanrwst pressed, but Good-aII cleared effectively. The dash of the homesters was somewhat surprising, considering that only two of the usual front line were in the ranks. First blood was drawn by Arthur Richards with a very deceptive shot, and a little later the homesters pressed around Gillet. Joe Hughes ultimately equalising in the co.rner of the net. Play was of a very even character for some time now, and a sudden spurt on the part of Arthur Richards spelt disaster. He came along at a tremendous pace, beating all opposition, and finally scoring a beautiful goal in the corner of the net. Half time soon arrived with the score: Llanrwst, 2 Conway, i. On resuming, the Blues went away in earnest, and were a source of anxiety to the visiting defence. Arthur Richards was responsi- ble for the hat trick with a low shot, and in a very short time afterwards, Conway were penal- ised in the area, Arthur Richards being entrust- ed with the kick, which he safely netted. The homesters were not disheartened, and up to now had given a very creditable exhibition consider- ing the disorganisation of the team. They tested Gillett on se'veral occasions. A penalty kick was given. Conway, but they failed to beat Gillet, the ball going straight at him. Shortly before time, Conway were having the best of matters, but a sudden spurt by Chisbolm gave them another goal. A very uninteresting match ended in a victory for the Vale of Conway men by g goals to I. COMMENTS. It is rumioujred that Conway will now drop out of the. League owing to. lack of support. This is not to be wondered at, when it is taken into con- sideration. that the whole of the gate on Satur- day amounted to 6s. 4d., and out of this all the expenses had to be paid. The forming of the Railway team at the Junction has no doubt done considerable harm to the Blues." FESTINIOG v. LLANBERIS. On Saturday, at Blaenau Featiniog, the fol- lowing teams met in splendid weather. Blaenau Featiniog were represented by Bob Smith, D. Hughes and M. E. Morris; Moses Roberts, Lang;foTd J<mes, and W. H. Williams; R. Ro- berts, J. Hmghes, W. R. Owen, J. Canon Jones, and George Brockley. Llarnberis 0. J. Owen B. Lloyd Hughes, and M. Jones; Dan Jones, W. R. Pritchard, and Dan Roberts W. H. W il- liams, W. R. Williams, \V. R. Thomas, E. Lloyd Hughes, and W. R. Thomas. Mr. E. Lloyd Williams was the referee. The game eroded in a decisive victory for the Flamingos by 4 goals to i. PWLLHELI v. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. These teams met at PwlUieli in the return League match on; Saturday. Llandudno were weakly represented, the following appearing — R. Owe-n; H. Fearson and G. Davies J. Brown, T. Johnson, and H. Davie-s; Noel Raber-ts, J. M. Davies, Bob Roberts, H. J. Davies, and Jimmy Williams. The game resulted in a win or 3 goals to i in favour of Pwllheli, and from information received it appears that Lla.n'dudno were very improperly treated. CARNARVON v. COLWVN BAY. WALTER SCORES FOUR GOALS. The above teams met at the Oval, Carnarvon, on Monday afternoon, beto'pe a record gate—a gate, it is said, of between £25 and 630- The ground was in perfect condition. Mr. R. G. Thomas, Banger, refereed. The teams lined up as follows.: — Carnarvon: G. H. JO:1eS; R. Morion Wil- liams and Albert Griffith (now of Bolton) Evan Hughes, R. M. Herbert, and Jack Williams; R. Trevor Roberts, Tom Roberts, Walter Jones, Hugh Roberts, and Johnny Jones. Colwyn Bay: C. Hallwood; R. C. Morris and T. McCa'nn Ned Griffiths, W. E. Roberts, and R. Rowlands; Kay, Adamson, Stanley Hughes, R. E. HugTies, and Water'house. Carnarvon won the toss, and played towards the country goal, CoJiwyn, Bay facing a bright sun. The home team were off at o'nce, H. Ro- berts playing well, but was too selfish. The visitors pressed, and R. Morton was conceded a corner, which was cleared. Colwyn Bay came again, but offside spoilt their chances. The Canaries pressed, and the visi)ting defence sent irnto touch. Herbert captured the goal kick and sent behind. Colwyn Bay retaliated, but offside again checked their progress. Colwyn Bay made progress on the lefft, but Evan Hughes robbed the wing, and the next minute was robbed him- self, owing to selfishness. Then ALbert cleared in fine style. Stanley Hughes essayed a good shot, which went behind. Carnarvon were penal- ised tfor (hands, but Herbert averted danger. Tom Roberts was penalised f'or fouling, just outside the penalty area. This was cleareu. Then Walter nearly scored, the ball just going the wrong side of the post. Jack \Yilliams dis- tinguished himself by a fine clearance. Colwyn Bay right full sent into touch when hard pressed. Then Hallwood cleared well. R. Morton Wil- liams cleared his lines, and Jack Williams was injured, but soon recovered. At this juncture the visiting forwards combined well, pattern- like, but went asftray in front of goal. Tom Ro- berts was again penalised'for fouling. Carnar- von were pressing hodly now, but R. Tremor wa3 offside. Then Tom mis&ed an open goal. Carnarvon gained a corner, which was cleared. Carnarvon came again, and Walter raced clean through and scored with a swift shot, Hallwood being powerless to stop him. The home team coTTftinued to press, and Ned Griffiths fouled Walter in the penalty area. Walter took the kick and MISSED THE GOAL. After throwing the ball away, Tom Roberts dashed into Hallwood, who was badly elbowed in his ribs. HaMwood dropped down like a log, and was very bad for a time. He soou came round, and pluckily resumed his duties. Tom Roberts was cautioned by the referee. Thas incident spoilt a great deal of the game. The visitors then pressed, but R. M. Williams clear- ed. Albert de-fended well just now, and Herbert nearly scored, a comer being conceded. Tom Roberts senft this beJiind. The next minute Hallwood saved well from Waller. The Can- aries were not to be defied, and Hallwood mir- aculously saved on two occasions. Half-time arrived with the score reading — Carnarvon, i Colwyn Bay, o. On the resumption, Carnarvon pressed on the left, and rushed the ball, Walter scoring No. 2 with a swift shot not a yard from goal. The home team m<m;o.polised the play, but were very unlucky in. iront od gtoal, the ball striking the crossbar on many occasions. The ball was sent right across the goalmouth from the home right wing. Hallwood slipped, and H. Roberts just missed tippirug the ball into the net. Tom Ro- bejfs had another man hors de comiba.t, and was Penalised. Then Walter was fouled in the pen- alty area. Walter took the kick, and made no mistake this time. Middling play followed, but Carnarvon pressed towards the end. In the last minute one of the visiting backs handled the ball. A penalty kick was given. Walter again converted. Final score: Carnarvon, 4; Colwyn Bay, o. NOTES. Carnarvon were by far the best team. Colwyn Bay rarely crossed the line during the second half. But Hallwood played a grand game, and the home team were very unlucky in front of goal. They should have scored four more goals on the run of the play. It was a very keen ga'ne, but not so interestmg as the one of igog, when Carnarvon were victors by i-o. For Carnarvon, Jones in goal had little to do, s.nd performed that little in excellent manner. He was never hard pressed. The backs played very well, Albert being safe and cool. R. M. Williams missed his shot once or twice, but those were blemishes on a very fine display. The half backs were grand. Herbert never played better with splendid judgment and pre- cision. Evan Hughes is inclined to be selfish, and consequently loses the ball very often. Shoot, Evan Jack improved as the game went on. He never tires. The forwards were a mixed lot. Waiter was in fine form, and scored all the four goals. He never played better. He is a gentlemanly player, too. The left wing played well, but are too fond of gallery play. Ned Grimt.hs was a thorn in their side. The r;)ght w'ing was a failure. Tom Roberts was like a man stunned. R. H. Roberts suffered from a ,veak partner, but did many good things. Colwyn Hay is a fine team, but they lack finish. Hallwood was A t. The backs played well, especially the right. Ned Grifhths. was inclined to be rough, but did many good things. The forwards combined well during the first half, but were not in the picture during the second moiety. Hallwood was loudly cheered for his hue clearances.

FRIENDLY- COLWYN'S HAY CREDITABLE SUCCESSES. Colwyn. Bay are to be congratulated upon gaining two well merited victories as a result of the friendly matches played in their holiday fixtures. On Good Friday Rhyl Combination team were the visitors, and on Saturday a Lan- cashire .amateur team in Walkden Amateurs pro- vided the opposition. It cannot be said Off the latter that they are a foTmidable organisation, although it woTtId be interesting to know whether they put a really representative team in the neM. The previous day they were defeated at Llanberis by one odd goal in five. The teams who appeared on the Colwyn Bay ground oii Friday were:— Colwyn Bay: C. Hallwood, .goal; T. Wynne Ellis and 0. E. Williams, backs; H. C. Water. house, Roberts and Dick Rowlands, half backs; Horn-by, Wilson Southern, Charlie Adtamson, Stanley Hughesi and Norman PrtLtchard, for- wards. Rhyl: Hughes, goal R. Roberts and W. Williams, backs Jones, Dick Birch and E. Hughes, half backs; Bertie Jones, R. Gallajgher, David Jones, Harrison and Bertie Williams. Referee Mr. Walter Parry, Colwyn Bay. On Saturday the home team was altered by the inclusion of Ned Griffiths and T. McCann in the half back line, Waterhouse and Roberts standing down, whilst Southern and Adamsoin g¡ave way to Roose and Kay forward. BAY SUPERIOR TO RHYL. On the day's play the homesters were a better team than Rhyl and well deserved their win o'f two goals to one. Rhyl smarted off as if they were going to. prove easy winners, but they off perceptibly in the closing portion of the first hatf, whilst subsequently they were outplayed. There was but one goal scored prior to the interval and this fell to the lot of the visitors. Bertie Williams beating Hallwood with a first class shot. The Bay drew level through Wvnne Ellis who scored from a penalty kick, and Adtajnson put on the winnintg point from a centre for which 'Hornby was responsible. There was a good attendanfce. and excitement ran high towards the close. The home team had two thirds of the play, and deserved to win by a large margin. Rhyl shaped very in- differently. COLWYN BAY v. WALKDEN AMATEURS. A very interesting friendly match was ar- ranged for Saturday between these teams on. the Colwyn ground, and was witnessed by a fair attendance. The visitors are in the running for the Lancashire and Cheshire Amateur League, The weather was ideal, and a very pleasant game was witnessed. The following was the local team :—Hall- wood 0. E. Williams and Ellis Grimth, Me- C'ann. and Dick Rowlands; Hornby, Roose,: Hughes, Kay, and Norman Pritchard. Norman Pritchtard scored early for the Bay, and a very pleasing game ended in a victory for the home team by 1-0. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS v.. LLANDUDNO CORINTHIANS. This friendly match between these local rivals v as plaved on the Council Ground, LlandudiM), on 'Good Friday, before a large gate. The final result of a very delightful game was in favour of the Amateurs by 2-0.

Railway Temperance Union Shield. LLANDUDNO JUNCTION v. NORTHAMPTON. A LUCKY DRAW FOR THE NORTHAMPTONS. (By'VlGILAXT.") The Londorf and North-Western Railway Co. Tempera.n.ce Union is deserving of all praise for the manner in which it is encouraging the game of football in its ranù,s. What can be more com- mendatory than, m con junction with the prin- ciples of temperance, the fostering' of .athletics should be encouraged? It is healthlul, cultivates seM-reliance, and is pleasure-giving to those who participate, and t-o those who look on. I con- gratulate. the Union and its of&cials upon the manner in which it is furthering the interests of the. game, and what is more delightful is the fact that the Railway Company is giving every facility for the eff-<:c:ive carrying out of the laud- able object. AN IDEAL DAY. A few months ago it would have been deemed improbable that the sight one saw on Woodland Park on Saturday would have been possible. Hut such is the result of enthusiasm and whole- hearted e.ffo.rts. The scene of Saturday's en- counter was bathed in warm sunshine, that made the hearts even OIf chronic grumblers glad, and dissipated their grievances. The Woodland Park u -ict, which has been. kindly granted the use. ciif for a reasonable sum by Mr. Field, of Wood- land School, is situated in, a spot which has a panoramic vie.w of the surrounding country, and if the ground is not quite an ideal one in some respects, it w(J'l1ld indeed be hard to. find a better in the district. The Union are proud of theif headquarters, and I join them in their pride. THE JUNCTION AND HIS WIFE. The. crowd was a large one, and full of in- terest. All the Junction and his wife were pre- sent, and their LIandudno, Mochdre, Deganwy, G!,anj Gonway, and Colwyn Hay cousins were there as \v.ell. What gladn'ess seemed impressed upon the countenances o.f the supporters of the red-jerseyed Junction men, as they skipped about the. field in anticipation off the encounter with their English brethren and co-workers. \\hat beams of pleasure danced upon Mr. Wynne's (the stationmaster) face How Mr. Henry Nevitt, with a subdued pride, broke his usual devotion to duty by coming to .see his boys play the game. And what enthusiasm was displayed by engine-drivers, firemen', signalmen, porters, and cleaners. The scene was exhilarating. Warm sunshine, a pleased crowd, and a gcod game were worth having. And the joy was contagi- ous. The usually sedate railway hand emerged from his sedateness and wore a smile. His tongue wagged in encouraig'ement, and for the moment all dull care was driven, away. In fact, the scene was on.e of the Junction in excelsis. THE NORTHAMPTONS LEAD. The Northamptons, clad in dark blue and white quartered jerseys, had a considerable num- ber of supporters with them. It is interesting to know that the performances which have brought them to the sem'-nnal have been at the expense of Rugby, Broad-street (London), and Birmingham, whilst the Locos. have vanquished Holyhead, Mold Junction., and Shropshire Union. I am of opinion that the Northamptons fancied, their task was an easy orbe, and that they returned home wiser men as to the prowess of their Welsh opponents. However, that by the way. Mr. R. S. Davies, of Flint, was the referee, and the following were the sides — Llandudno Junction: Llew. Parry, goal; W. E. Jones and Tom Jones, backs; W. Evarrs, W. R. Roberts (Colwyn Bay), and Bob Owen, halves TuckDeld, J. R. Jones., Lewis Hugh Ro- berts, Dick Owen (the Banigor veteran), and Chesters, forwards. Northampto'n Smith, goal; Messinder and F. Moss. backs: S. Hasler, F. Yoke, and A. Cooke. halves W. Bailey, W. Blincow, Merri- man, Swann, and Wilson, I()rwa.rds. The Junction won the toss, and played with the sun. behind them, and adt-er Me.rrima.n had kicked off there was a buzz OIf excitement as the opening exchanges were rather wild. The players were evidently suffering from nerves. There was a steadying required. However, after a while methods were more regular, and TuckineM cantered away and forced a corner. This came to nothing, and the merry 'Amptons .took up the running. Hereabouts the methods of the Eng- lish team were the more s,kyantific," and there appeared a better understanding between them than with the Reds. The latter, however, man- aged to repulse the 'Ampftons, and., .getting to- wards Smith, several corners fell to their lot, but not from any of these did any gtood result accrue. The Junction played a more bustling game than their opponents but were overstrung when in front c.f goal, and there was a cus- todian in Smith that was a hard nut to crack. Getting away, the 'Amptons got in the vicinity of Llerw Parry, and by a slip on the part of the home defence Blincaw saw the glorious chance, close in, and, panther-like, pounced; on the ball and shot a beautiful goal high out of Llew's reach. The unexpected hatppened, and dead siilence pravialed. Would this be the wirming goal? It could not be. The game was yountg. But one could not help thinking of. "A bird in the hand,&c. THE JUNCTION HAVE HARD LINES. Encouraged by shout to play up, the Locos. put in some good work, and onl one occasion, when all seemed D\e1T for another goal for Northampton, Bob Owen whipped across and steered the ball down the left and up the field, where a vigorous attack was made on Smith, and a goal ensued. As the cheers went up, con- sternation. reigned when the referee decided it was offside. Nothing daunted, the Junctiton played up gamely, and several chances to equal- ise were Losft, J. R. Jones, on one occasion, be- ing a sinner in beinfg too alow with a glorious opportunity. Many corners fell to the Junction, but nothing came of them, and a well-directed shot was luckily saved by Smith as it appeared going into the net. Half time arrived with the score — Northampton, i LLandudno Junction, o. THE JUNCTIONITES' SUPERIORITY AND THE EQUALISER. In the second half the Looos. proved most eager dor the equalising point, but for time after time luck was dead against them. Right well did they battle for the goal, and on o'ne occa- sion they scored but the referee here again de- cLared the point to be gotten by offside. Sel- dom did the 'Amptonx get away, and if they did it was only a spasmodic affair, and the Loco's. would return to the attack. And that attack was a determined one, and put the fine defence odf Northampton on its best behaviour. There is no doubt but that the defence of the merry 'Amp- tons was finely show-n, and, there were some narrow squeaks in front of Smith. Some were real hair-breadth escapes. On one occasion the baH was sent across the goalmouth from a corner over the head off Scmith, who was looking for it, and the ball rolled from post to posft, just on the line, and only. needed; a tip to place in the net. Instead, there was not aTL eager foot near, and the ball, amidst many cries of disappointment, rolled out of danger. Keeping up the pressure, the Locos. got another comer, and this was well placed, a'nd just when it was thought the 'Amptona would clean-. Will Ro- berts hooked on the, ball, amidst a ruck of players, and made no mistake with a beautiful shod. Then arose a, cry of j'u!bilattio<rb. Anxious face became cheerful, and broad similes were seen on all sides. The crowd had patiently waited for this. And true appreciation was shown. Some of the Junction supporters were frantic with deligtht, and the well-known Billy Williams threw his peaked cap high in the air, and knaw not whence it wenA. Oh! such a transformation. What joy, and' what a study were the faces of the crowd. Nothing succeeds like success, only more 'success. And so say all of us! ALL ENDS IN A DRAW. Heroic efforts were .made to gain the lead by the Junction, but the Reds could do everything but find the net. Thrills went through 'the crowd as a high dropping shot was sent in and passed over the head of Smith, apparently in the net; but it was just am inch the wrong side off the post. Then a breakaway was made by the 'Amptons, and a forward got through with only the 'dimtinutive Llew to beat. The littile 'un,, however, was equal to the occasion, and dashed the high shot to the ground and cleared What a sigh of relief went up when this was effected. Try as the Locos would, they could not fund the net, although it was only on' rare occasions that the 'Amptons crossed the half-way line. Ju&t as time was expiring, Llew handled a round shot, and so an exciting and pleasant game ended) in a draw, the repLay to be at Northampton. Final: LlandudTio Junction, i Northampton, i. BRIEFLETS. Tthe Junction thromgh and through were the best team, and Northarnpton were distinctly lucky to draw. The 'Ainptons play nice <foot- ba'Il, but it is hardly of a cup-tie order. Junc- tion lost many chances, whilst Northampton turned theirs to good account. May the Junction win in the replay.

A Veteran Welsh Churchman. The Rev. D. L. Williams, Vicar of Llanwnda, near Carnarvon, has the distinction of having completed his fiftieth anniversary as incumbent of the same parish. He is a great-grandson of the late Rev. Peter Williams, the well-known Bible commentator. Born at Carmarthen 86 years ago, he was educated at the Carmarthen Grammar School and Jesus College, Oxford. In 1848 he became Curate of Newborough, in Angle- sey, and twelve years later, after a curacy at Car- narvon, he accepted the living of LIanwnda, where has remained ever since. During his long residence there he has displayed great activity in church and other matters, including the local auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society, in recognition of his secretaryship of which he was presented with a handsone testi- monial on the occasion of his resigning his Car- narvon curacy. He has been instrumental in acquiring the present Vicarage for the parish, and in building two new churches, one at LIanfag- dalen and the other at Rhostryfan. He also carried on the Bontnewydd School up to the time of its transfer, a few years ago, to the County Educa- tion Authority. As Chairman of the Managers he still takes an active interest in the institution. He is still in the enjoyment of good health, and frequently preaches three times on Sunday. Mrs. D. L. Wuliams is a first cousin of Mr. Jus- tice Cherry. A committee of parishioners, both Church and Nonconformist, has been formed for the purpose of presenting the rev. gentleman with a testimonial to celebrate the close of his fifty years connection with the parish.
