(By "Spectator.") Beaumaris 10 Colwyn Bay 1 In a steady downpour of rain this match was played at Beaumaris on Saturday, but in spite of the weather a fair crowd assembled to witness the struggle. The homesters had their usual team, whilst Colwyn Bay contained six reserves in their ranks. Mr E. Lloyd Williams, of Ban- gor, lined the teams up in the following order:- Beaumaris: F. Richards; W. G. Williams and Sam Davies; Don Rowlands, Levi Jones, and W. J. Jones; Dick Humphreys, Dai Davies, W. O. Humphreys, Smedley, and Sam Poole. Uolwyn Bay: Booth; Dick Rowlands and W. CLutton; Ned Griffiths, C. Hallwood, and Howel Pritohard; Moss Jones, W. H. Hughes, J. T. Owen, W. Kaye, and J. 1,1. Owen. The visitors opened play with a slippery ball and on a heavy turf. The home left obtained possession, and the front line were before Booth's charge. Dick Rowlands nipped in just in time, and cleared, but the pressure was onlv slightly r&lieved, and W. 0. Humphreys found the net- From the centre J. T. Owen passed to W. H. Hughes, and accompanied by Moss Jones they ran along the right, and Moss middled when a home defender headed back, but the leather was sent across goal, and J. LI. Owen, with an open goal gaping in front of him, sent past the post. The Beaus were soon in proximity to the Bayit.es' oitadel, and the leather was worked down to the right wing, where Dai Davies put in a hot shot, beating Booth again. The Beaus still kept un the pressure, and ere many minutes had passed Dai Davies again found the net. The Bayites from this kick-off made a little headway, and forced a corner, which W. H. Hnghes headed into the net out of Richards' reach. Bent on increasing the lead the "Beaus" raced along, but Howel Pritohard sent to touch. Levi obtained. and parted to Smedley, who sent across to Dai Davies, and the Latter shot in, but Dick Row- lands saved the situation. J. L). Owen, on the left obtained possession, but W. G. Williams cleared the attack, and put W. O. Humphreys in possession. Humphreys was neatly robbed by Hallwood, but Levi secured, and potted just past the post, and in running forward Booth was observed to be in difficulties, and he sustained an injury, through which he was obliged to leave the field, and HaUwood took his place between the sticks. Half-time arrived with the Beaus leading by six goals to one. For the second half the players of both teams were provided by the home committee with dry jerseys, and the game was once more proceeded with. The "Beaus" seemed exceedingly anxious to pile on the agony, and the sound play of the home defence kept the visitors penned in their own quarters, W. G. Williams being very pro- minent with his clearances. The homesters oould absolutely do what they liked with the Bayites and more points were notched, though Hallwood saved some stingers from al! quarters. Play was completely confined to one end of the ground, Richards having hardly nothing to do. Time was called with the score reading: Beaumaris 10; Colwyn Bay, 1. THE LAST GAME AT FESTINIOG. (By "Dolydd"). Festiniog 3 Denb'gli 7; 2 Denbigh met the Blaenau I-tin log eleven on Saturday, at Newborough Park, and fulfilled their engagement in a downpour of rain, with tie ground in harmony with the weather. Mr C. J. Thomas, Bangor, lin-ed out the teams as follow:- Festiniog: Joe Hughes; T. Hughes and W Ellis; R. Powell, M. E. Morris and Will Jones; Jack Jones. Jim Lloyd. Meirion Jones, J. Hughes and W. R. Owen. Denbigh: Sam Griffith; D. Hughes and R. T. Williams; B. Jones, R. Thomas and T- Davies: J. Tuckiiekl, W. Hughes, L. Lewis, H. Randells and G. Lewis. Denbigh won the toss, and faoed tonvariti the Square. Meirion having set the leather going, a melee ensued near the visitors' *goaJ, the at- tack however was successfully repulsed, and the ..a "Stripes" retaliated, but Tom Hughes cleared neatly. The home right advanced, but, were sent back by R. T. iiliams. The Denbigh men pressed severely. T. Davies ultimately placing behind The "Blues' right wing then made round, and Jack Jotiob forced a corner off T. Davies. Jack centred accurately on to Jini Lloyd's head, who quickly had (lie leather in the net. The first g-oal was thus scored within four minutes of the start- The visitors then attacked, and (tar,dells equalised with a beauty from the fl.ygst.aff. Fuckfield next forood a corner from Tom Hughes, but centred too f il, riij) the field- Jack Jones pounced upon the ball, and dashed fl.ygst.aff. Fuckfield next forood a corner from Tom Hughes, but centred too far up the field- Jack Jones pounced upon the ball, and dashed up the right wing, transferring to W. R. Owen, who however placed l>ehirid. The "Blues" con- tinned to press severely, until at hjst D. Hughcs cleared with a punt. Tuckfield was favourably plaoed, but shot rather wildly. W. R. Owen next foroed a corner from D. Hughes, and oentred to h;8 pivot, who sent in a ground shot. The goalie picked up smartly, and cleaned. From a throw-in W. R. Owon secured, and parted to Meirion, who missed by inches- D. Hughes, taking charge of a free kick, sent in a fine long drive, which Griffiths just cleared at the ex- pense of a corner, which however proved futile. The "Blues" were soon again swarming in front of Griffiths, and Jack Hughes skimmed the upright with a capital shot. Blaenau then forced a couple of corners, and a lively attack followed, but Davies at length cleared. The Denbigh pivot subsequently worked his way down, and was fouled by Will Jones. Th-omas took charge of the free-kick, which he sent yards wide- The "Stripes" again pressed, and Randells tried a beautiful overhead shot. Joe listed out to Meirion. who dashed up, and parted to W. R. Owen, who missed badly. From the goal kick Randells got, away, tricked Ellis, and shoot- ing at close quarters secured a fine goal. Tuck- field next sent in a powerful shot, which Joe met with his tee. Jack Jones secured, and, spurting aJong the right, sent in a. beauty. A ineleo fol- lowed, but at last the "Stripes" prevailed. The forwards advanced in line, and W- Jones handled within the penalty area. However, Da- vies, who took the penaltv kick, shot very wide of the mark. Rejoicing at their escape, Festiniog dashed up, Meirion passing to Lloyd, who equalised. At half-time each side had scored two goals. On resuming the "Blues" attacked sturdily, and had far the best of the game to the end, Jim Lloyd eooring the winning point from a pass by Jack Jones- THE PENQUINS BEAT THE ROOSTERS. (By "Rica.rdo"). PwHheli 2 Llanrwst • 0 At Pwllheli, on Saturday, on a greasy turf and in rainy weather- Mr Ciedwyn O. Jones, Ban- gor, the referee, lined the players as follows:- Pwllheli: Sam. Roberta; Win. Thomas and Griffith Evans; R. S. Thompson, Bob Ellis and Bob Jones; R D. Roberts, J. Williams, Owen Jones, W. Griffith and Ben Evans. Llanrwst: Gillett; J. Williams and W. Trevor Jones; Gren. Jones, R. D- Richards and A. Carter; Henry Roberts, Howell Roberts, Moees Davies, Arthur Richards and J. Evans. The Penguins made the first advance, but the backs were strong, their long kicks proving fre- quently a means of relief. The home forwards passed their immediate opponents, and got. down to the Llanrwst quarters, and Bob Ellis finely shot for goal, but Gillett cleared. Then a melee took place within the danger area. A free kick allowed the Roosters enabled them to save the situation momentarily. Again the home for- wards and the half-hacks struggled manfully to beat Trevor. J. Williams, Gren. Jones and R. D. Richards' defence. When they managed this, yet they could not overcome'GiUett- Fine work was done by Thompson, Williams, Rhos, Bob Jone-" O. Jones and B. Ellis, but the onslaught was successfullv dealt with. Ben Evans became aggressive and dangerous. Gillett fisted out, and Trevor and partners did the rest. Bob Ellis, Now Jones, W. Griffith, Thompson and Bob Jones, beating the opposing backs, did everything but score. ROOSTERS' CUSTODIAN IN FORM. Gillett was very much like Mary's little lamb —wherever the ball went, Gillett was sure vo go He defended magnificently. Moseley was just now very much missed on the home side. It was useless to shoot for goal, as GiUett ap- peared to fill the whol-e space. The Roberts's, with the pivot and inside left, when they got the chanoe, nUlde xcellent use of it- But the Helian defence was too powerful for them. The Pen- quins pressed, and shot after shot was sent in, but Gilleft was unbeatable. Suddenly R. D. Richards, Gren. Jones and Carter sent. up the leather to their forward line, and instantly Moses Davies and his chume were pounding at the home goal, and Sam. soon got warm. At half-time there was no score, though play was very much in favour of the home players. Bob Jones' fine tackling brought out a deserving cheer from the spectators. The spectators often shouted "Good old Bob." The Helians lost a splendid opening for a goal just now through lack of support. The Roosters were playing a strong game—much better than during the first half. The home light weight (J. Williams) al- most broke the ioe. Gillett saved in fine style. Some loose play ensued, and when no-one ex- pected it, Thompson sent in a grounder from long distance, and, Strange to say, Gillett failed to stop it. It was a surprise goal. A corner fol- lowed. Again Gillett was in difficulties, and again he got out of them triumpha.ntly. The vooue was now changed. Thompson dribbled, and evaded the visiting forwards, and shot for goal- The custodian just cleared it, and at once there was a furious fight within the penalty area. Fortunately for the Roosters hands were given against their opponents. But the free- kick gave R. D. Roberts a chance for one of his celebrated runs up the field. He was outwitted this time by the visiting backs. Two corners ensued, and one was almost converted into a goal. Bob Ellis tried a shot for goal, and the forwards made a. gallant attack. At last R. D. Roberts foroe-d two eornors- The last gave Bob Ellis an opening, and he scored. This practically finished tne game. Pwllheli 2 goals, Llanrwst 0. LLANDUDNO TROUNCE CONWAY. (By "Linesman.") Llandudno Amateurs 3 Conway 0 The Llandudno Amateurs visited Conway on Saturday for the return League game, and de- feated the "Blues" on their own ground after a poor exhibition. Conway were ag'ain minus the services eof their captain, Bob Owen, and their clever "pivot," Ernest Parry, while the Ama- teurs were a strong eleven. Mr Harry Jones, Ltlajiirwst, lined the players up in the following order C-onway: Llew. Parry; Tom Jones and O. Ellis; Thompson, Joliaison, and J. Parry; Tom Graven, Hugh Parry, A their tori, Chase, and Sam Parry. I-uarbduxino: C. Stallard; J. H. Jones, and Smith; W. Edwards, Geo. Davies, and II. Pear- son; W. D. Williams, BrooJces- Evans, Jack Brown, Claude Davies, and Jinuny Williams. Rain fell heavily when the game commenced Conway playing towards the bottom goal. To ta'ke notes was impossible, and wliat description of the game .1 can give has to be from memory. Erurly on, J. Parry initiated a dangerous forward movement by feeding his left wing. Sam Parry centred neatly, and at the moment a goal seemed certain, but one of th Llandudno defenders managed to clear. Conway enjoyed most of the game throughout tine first half, but were most unfortunate in from of goal. In fact, both teams missed opportunities. Conway having ini-k-ed numerous chances, the Llandudno forwards at length attacked. The h'I'lI defence seemed "at sea" for the moment. Brookes-Evans d&f-hed in between Johnson and Tom Jooes, and Llew. rushed out to meet him, but the Llandudno forward ran round him and netted easily. Rain continiied to pour in tor- rents, and miskicks and other mistakes wore common. When the teams crossed, the Ama- teurs held the lead by the only goal of the first half. Ne verthelcai, one might fairly say that the "Blues" had enjoyed the greater part of the game, but the Llandudno defence was firm, and notwithstanding the treacherous condition of the ground, their kdeking had been remarkably steady and true. I have seldom seen J. II. J ones play so consistent a game. The second moiety found the Amateurs decided- ly the better eleven; they played a winning game up to the last minute. The lads in blue 011 the other liand made no serious effort to re- cover thetir position. After smart preliminary work, Pearson placed Jimmy Williams in pos- session, and the little winger sent in a shot almost from the touch line. The for a goal kick, and the baJJ certainly appeared to be out of play, but it curled in, and Llew. handled, but it twisted out of his hands into the net, when Mr Jones whistled again, and pointed to the centre of the frelTT. Down came the Amateurs a.ga.in, aiid Jack Brown headed in a goal, but the whistle had previously gone for a goal kick as the ball was over the goal line be- fore Claude Davies swung it across the field. Once more the black and wlrite shirts were seen to be in clofe proximity to the home goal, and Llew. Parry was clearing a shot, when Jack Brown rusohd Ip, and appeared to hook the ball out of his hands- into the net. The whistle had, however, sounded, and the referee awarded a free kick against Llandudno. It was not long, however, before the Amateurs did get their legi- timate goal. It oame off the head of Jack Brown, who caught the ball as it rebounded off M of the home backs. One by one several of the home players left the field hereabouts, and )nly five finally remained on the field till the )J.œe. Nevertheless, the visitors failed to add :0 their score, and the game ended in a win for ihe Amateurs, who were undoubtedly the bet- ter tea.m on the day's play. SECOND DIVISION.

WELSH AMATEUR CUP. CARNARVON CLEVERLY CAPTURE THE CUP. Carnarvon 5 Oak Alyn 1 Notwithstanding the heavy rain, heavier ground, and a slippery bal-1, the final round for the Welsh Amateur Cup between Carnarvon and Oak Alyn at Colwyn Bay on Saturday produced interesting if not high-standard football. The Llandudno ground had been originally fixed upon as the venue, but at the last moment, so to speak, the Association accepted the sugges- tion in favour of the Denbighshire field. The game attracted about one-fourth the number of spectators anticipated, but, in view of the wretched weather prevailing, a "gate" of nearly JE16 in value was by no means unsatisfactory. Each team was accompanied by between 200 and 300 supporters, and no better evidence of their en1;;hUiSiasm could be given than the fact that they "stoodj out"—the Oohvyn Bay ground is so far bereft of a stand of any kind-the proceed- ings, though rain fei heavily during three-fourths of the time. Alyn, who were praoiacallv a.t full strength, started prime favourites though local sympathy was entirely on the side of the western team, particularly on account of the absence of Johnny Jones, their sma.rt ouitskle left, and the fact that this was their fir bad for the cup, which, by the way, ihad been held down Wrexham way far many years previously. Mr Slater, of Llandudno, was the referee, and, thanks to his tacfr and mollifying influence, the match was played in the beet possible spirit. The teams were :— Carnarvon: G. H. Jones; Evan Hughes and A. Griffiths; J. Griffiths, M. Herbert, and J. Williams; R. H. Roberts, T. Roberts, Walter Jones, Hugh Roberts, and K R. Jones. Oak Alyn: Roberts; S. Davies and Ted Da- vias; I. Jones, Emlyn Jones, and James Martin; Lewis. Ted Jones, M. Rowlands, Baugh, and T. Green. The preliminary evolutions were in favour of Alyn. who played down the slope. Two brISk. movements on their right were full of promise, but Hughes and Griffiths prevailed, the latter kicking with rmsoh judgment and strength. Mick Herbert led a raid upon the other end, and the Carnarvon forwards hustled the oppos- ing defence very smartly. Tom Roberts and Walter Jones engineered a pretty movement, in dealing with Ted Davies found much diffi- culty. At length, liowever, he cleared with a strong paint. Baugh cantered up to the Carnar- von goal in company with Green, but Hushes was safe. Midfield play was followed by another determined attack by Carnarvon, in which the three inwide forwards were (iCen ta much advan- tage. At length, S. Davies, in trying to inter- cept a pass toed the leather into his own net— an unfortunate accident, which gave the "Can- aries' supporters obvious pleasure. Alyn ac- cepted the challenge, and a most effective bit of footwork between Lewis and Ted Jones resulted in a businecs-like attack upon the other goal. Over-anxious to gttt into a safe shooting posi- tion, Rowlands held on too long, and Hughes cleared neatly. Alyn were obviously playing the wrong game. The ground was altogether unsuit- able for the short-passing* game, but, despite instructions liberally (and on this occasion not unwisely) shouted at them by their supporters, they clung to it till the close. The Carnarvon men on the other hand adapted themselves to the conditions with real cleverness. They swung the ball about from wing to wing, and whenever the least opportunity presented itself they shot at Roberts in a manner which caused the goalee considerable uneasiness. And it was these tactics that ensured for Carnarvon the splendid vibtory which they subsequently won. The second goal accrued from a dhance shot sent in at terrifio speed from twenty-five yards away by the irre- pressible Walter Jones. This happened within five minutes of the previous goal, and the cheer- ing* by the west-country visitors was loud and long. Alyn rallied courageously, and within a few seconds the baJl was in front of Jones. Baugh sent in a piping shot all; close range, but the ball collided with Hughes and rebounded. Another boot met it and directed it with equal force goalwards agUin, but this time the wood- work intervened, and a third effort was made. this time by Lewis, but with no success, the ball flying over, a few inches to the wrong side of the cross-bar. This was an exciting "moment for the Carnarvon defence, and the last real chanoe Alyn had of scoring apart from one which followed before half-time. Beautiful work by R. H. Roberts placed Carnarvon once more on the agg'ressive, and in dute course Walter tried his luck with another long*, dropping shot, whioh was well held by Roberta. Two corners then fell in quick succession to AJyn, and, though both were fruitless, Ted Jones subsequently scored, after a skilful bit of individual play. Jones tried to push the bail! away, but it was evidently too slippery to handle properly. Here- abouts the rain fell in torrents, and the field was reduced to a very sodden condition. Never- theless, the pace of the game did not relax for a moment. Alyn made a vigorous effort to equalise, and at one point Jones appeared to be well beaten when the ball accidentally met the tip of his) up-raised boot and rolled a few inches wide of the net. At this stage, Alyn were the superior side, but the fates were unkind to them. A splendid shot by Martin before the whistle sounded half-time skipped over the net just a few inches to the bad. At the interval Carnar- von retained the lead by 2 goals to one. The second half opened with a spirited attack by the Carnarvon left, E. R. Jones testing the Alyn keeper with a fine long shot, which Ro- berts held in his lap. EndB were then chang'ed smartly, neither side gaining a material advan- tage. Subsequently, the Carnarvon forwards whipped the ball from one wing to another, and Tom Roberts was at length on the weak side of Ted Davies. The veteran drove with tremend- ous force, but. the ball paased over Roberts' head and on to an umbrella sheltering a soaking spec- tator behind the net much to the la,iter's dis- comfiture, and the amusement of the crowd. A minute later, Tom tried another capital effort, whioh just missed the net, while Walter Jones followed immediately afterwards with another lightning drive from a melee in front of Ro- berts, but the keeper oleared adroitly midst loud applause. Carnarvon maintained the aggressive, and, though they met with a stubborn resistance, they forced two corners, from one of which Hughie Roberts scored smartly with his head. Two minutes afterwards Hughie initiated the prettiest dribble of the day. From about half- way he made a cork-screw course for himself between about six opponeIlt, one of whom aeoi- d^mtally injured htm, physical suffering, notwithstanding, he pluokily kept on his way till he well within reach of Roberts, finishing up with a glorious goal. before he fell". Hughie was in considerable pain, and he was borne to the dressing room, but within ten minutes he was again in action, all but. scoring directly he got on the field. Carnarvon were now easily masters of the situat ¡on, and corner after corner was forced. Eventually, Ted Davies, who haul played a hard game throughout, missed his kiok, letting- in the wary Walter, who coolly cantered on, and scored with ease. Alyn again rallied courageously, however, and they were attacking stoutly when Mr Slater called "time," midst deafening applause. PRESENTATION OF THE CUP. Rain fell uncea-aingly, but few of the drenched sfjectators could forego atfendiny' the little pre- sentation ceremony which took place in front of the drassing room. The cup was produced midst ringing "cheera for the Canaries," and Mr Nunnerley, hon. treasurer to the Welsh Association, called forward the captain of bhe victorious team—unassuming R. H. Roberts— who made his way to the front, a mud-bespat- tered, rain-soaked but smiling figure. The vociferous cheering* over, Mr Nunnerley said that in the first plaoe lie must apologise for the absence of the Association's President, who, unfortunately, had been unable to attend that afternoon, and who had asked "him to undertake -he President's part of the proceedings. I am exceedingly sorry, proceeded Mr Nunnerley, ihaA we have had such a miserable day for this ixame. but I am pleaded thw you have taken the renditions in good part and fought the matoh in a sportsmanlike way (applause). The game Ma beet* fought out. in my opinion, in a down- -1ght.. honourable, cup-fighting manner, and that s what we want-to play football in the proper spirit, without any dirty, under-handed work in Lny direction (applause). I congratulate Car- larvon upon their victory—(renewed applause), nore esifteciallv because I understand this was he first time for them to enter for this cup, and shall perhaps bo docng no injury to any other •lub when I say I inooe this will not be the last ime, for them to win it (applause). Your svm- pathies will, I have no doubt, go out to vour lefeated rivals (cheers). Five-to-one is a bad lefoat, but I hope the Alyn men will take it in proper, sportsmanlike way (hear, hear). I lave very much pleasure in presenting the cup o the captain of the Carnarvon team (upplauooe). There were loud calls for a "speech" from 'Capt." Roberts, but tactfully he avoided this rdeal by requesting* his friends to "give Oak Uyn a rousing cheer." The cheer was given interest. "Thank you, sir," said Roberts a he saluted Mr Nunnerley. Carnarvon's victory gave great pleasure to Bay football enthusiasts, whose enoour- t geinent throughout the game was second only o that g'lveJ1 by the team's own followers. The 'Canaries'' are thus proud holders of the Welsh {maiteiir and North Wales Amatuer Cups, and "lien it is considered that thev have trurolwh- In relied upon the help of local "talent"' pure nd simple their success is all the more r,rai.-e-

CONWAY WHISPERS. The end of the football season was reached at Conway on Saturday, and the Biues" cannot be said to have maintained their high standard when the Llandudno Amateurs defeated them on their own ground, to the tune of 3-0. The weather was against correct football, and the ground was in a wretched condition. How- ever, the Amateurs appeared to revel in the mud, and they thoroughly deserved to win on the day's play. « • • « The home team seemed to be completely de- moralised, and, for a change, the defence were continually at fault. The halves were also well below form, Johnson being the best of a spiritless trio. « # » The forwards were in anything but the mood they were in against Bangor. On the other hand, from Stallard to the for- wards, all the Amateurs played a capital game, the defence particularly being in fine form. < Georgie Davies was the best half back on the field, while Pearson and Will Edwards also be- haved well. < < x The forwards were all good. Jack Brown proved a capable "pivot," and the wings also worked well together. it Now that the season has closed, the "Blues" executive will, no doubt, be busy securing players for the next session. • • • • • For several years Conway have had an unhappy knack of dropping points at the opening of the season, and it would be well to provide against that in future. • • • • For a town where it is exceedingly difficult to keep football alivo at all, Conway have not done badly. They" were the runners-up for the senior cup, and in the League tourney they gave a very good account of themselves towards the close. < t If they had only avoided being defeated on their own ground so often they might have occu- pied a very respectable position on the League table. Carnarvon, Beaumaris, Pwllheli, and Llandud- no have aU taken the maximum points from Con- way. Better luck next season, "Blues!"

FESTINIOG CHAT. Although the "Blues" have been exceedingly unlucky throughout the season they finished off with a victory over Denbigh by 3 goals to 2. < < On the day's play the "Blues" were by far the better team, although considerably weakened by the absenoe of several players. I was glad to see Jim Lloyd sufficiently recovered to take his place in the t^am; the points scored were to his credit. I" • • e- • Although the weather wan most unfavourable a large crowd lined the ropes, and enjoyed the triumph of their men. < < I understand that probably the park will not be available next season. Wherever the next venue is situated the committee would do well to devote some time and money to preparing the ground properly.

BEAUMARIS BULLETS. Good football was an impossibility on Saturday at Beaumaris, and the score indicates the nature of the gam.e-one-sided affair. « Colwyn Bay were unfortunate in losing Booth's services early in the game. < Hallwood was obliged to retire to his old place between the sticks, where he won the admiration of the home supporters for his saves. • • • m W. G. and Sam Davies were not very often called upon to show their powers, but when needed they were all there. It W.J. was the best of the half-line. He only I 11 failed in his object on one occasion all through the afternoon. Don also put in some useful work. w « w w w Dai Davie3 seemed to be in fine form, and scored seven goals. The visiting front line were off compared to previous displays. < w W. H. Hughes headed nicely the solitary goal for the Bavites. The half-back line was spoilt early in the game, through Hallwood having to take his position between the sticks. » • The game was played in the boat of feeling throughout. So all's well that ends well.

R ICING, PERCY SMALLWOOD AGAIN SUCCEEDS. CONWAY MAN'S GREAT RUNNING. The "ritt*,aurg'h Stm" of the 14th inst. rtJ" ports another excellent achievement by Percf. Smallwood, the Conway lad, at Scubenville. Ohio. The writer states:—In the Auditorium* rink, this city, last night Percy Smallwood, of Wales, gave a remarkable exhibition of runntB? for 15 miles, defeating Albert H. Nash, th« Indian, better known as Blackhawk, two la.ps. the winner's time being 1.21:43, which is littis more than a minute behind the world's record for the distance. Small wood demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of a largv> crowd the. hU defeat of Tom Longboat, in Philadelphia, Decen1' ber 5th. last year, was no fluke, for he. f&ir|? flew around the 10-lap track, built especially for last night's race. That the men were cutting out a fasrt, clip is shown by the fact that the time for the first three miles was 14.25 25, which is just 8 2-5 seconds slower than world's record for the distance. The time 10 miles was 54.57. It was the first time SmaIl- wood and NatSli came together for 15 miles, and both d'9mon.-it rated that they are about ass a pair of 15 male runners as there is in the country. The heart-breaking clip did not -010 to affect either man, both finishing fresh Smalhvood running the last miile in 5:07.
