FOOTBALL. PEttMAENMAWR v. LLANDUDNO JUNCTION RESERVES. HOME TEAM S VICTORY. (By "Linesman.") Penmaenmawr 2 Liandudno Junction Res O The above teams met on the ground of the former ia a League (Division II.) match on Sa- turday. It was the first game in the tourney for the Penmaenmawr club, which has only this season entered the League. It is a long time since Penmaenmawr was represented by a team in the League, but as everyone who is familiar with Coast football is aware, there arc a good number of enthusiastic h.,iowers of the game in the district, and it is satisfactory to note that they have again entered the arena. There was a large attendance at Saturday's game. The weather was somewhat misty, a.nd lain threatened when the teams lined up as fol- low:- PENMAENMAWR: R Lloyd; W. E. Hughes, Hugh Jones; Robert Brown, Jack Jones, Tom Jones; li Miliar, A. G. Jones, R. Moris, Liew fioberts. and C. Williams. LLANDUDNO JUNCTION: Llew Parry; W. Jones, "Now' Eiiis: Will Evans, W. Evans, Hv.gh Hughes; T. Craven, Brookes Evans, lhvid Hughes, at;d Johnnie Jones. Referee: Mr J. R. Morgan, of Portdinorwic. The Penmaenmawr men having won the toss, decided to kick towards the goal nearest the town, but there was little advantage to bo gained by the naming of the coin. At the outset it was seen that the teams were very evenly matched and the opening stages were keen and fast, the ball being sent from one end of the field to the other in quick succession. However, for a quarter of an hour neither of the two goalkeepers was caned upon, and Llew Parry, who was the first to be tested, responded well to the call. Brookes Evans soon afterwards missed a pen- alty kick. The kick was awarded against the redoubtable home right full back, W. E. Hughes, .who tripped up Johnnie Jones, the fleet-footed Junction outside left, within the dreaded area. Brookes Evans was entrusted with the kick, but he shot straight at the Penmaenmawr goal- keeper, who naturally had no difficulty in sav- lng, although the shot was swift enough. The Penmaenmawr men, thus let off, did not fail to take advantage of the generosity of the yisitors, and presently they raced down the held In determined fashion. The ball was tossed out to the right wing, and R. Millar beat Llew Parry with a low but swift, oblique shot, which found a safe billet in the corner of the net. The crowd cheered lustily as the men once more lined up. The game from that point up to the Interval was even and not devoid of excitement. On one or two occasions,, perliaps6 the play Savoured of roughness, one or two men on both sides being laid out for a few minutes, but there were no serious injuries, and the home team led at the interval by one goal to nil. The second moiety was again evenly con- tested, the Junption men being perhaps the more Persistent at fir.,t, but the home team wore them down towards the close of the game. Time was not far off when the second and last goal fell to "Pen." This R. Morris had the honour of notching. He got the ball in the centre of the field, and running between the Junction backs his final shot gave "Llew" no chance. It was a fine piece of individual work, aud Morris deserved full credit for the point.

PENMAENMAWR JOTTINGS. The Penmaenmawr men deserved to win their first League fixture when they beat the Llan- dudno Junction Reserves Last Saturday by 2 feoaJs to nil. They have a good team, and were faT strong1- er than the visitors. Their d-efoe was good., with the exoept:on of Hugh ,T<yi'x\% their left full-back, wiho will doubtless improve as the season progresses. i, T^o:r. centre-forward, R. Maris, is a capable 'pivot, and his goal was a fine individual effort. In the Junction team, tho defenoa was sound, Llow. Parry was in fine form between the Posts, and "Now" Ellis was as steady as of old. His partner. Will Roberts, was nJ good, but r-t as reliable as the redoubtable "Now." The best, man on the Junction siJ-ø was, how- ,eN-Ir ther centre-half, Will Evans, Bangor Hou.se. who played! a magnificent game, tackling with indomitable pluck, and feeding his for- wards in correct stylo. «■ Amongst the forwards, Brookes-Evans and their Ouf»;die, left, Evan Jones, were the only redly dangerous men. The others were decidedly "off colour." « » • Mr J. R. Morgan, Portdinorwic, was a cap- able referee, and conducted the gnme in excel- lent fashion. He acted instead of Mir J II. Vin- cent, Lkmdud'rio, who was unable to art-Givi.

COLWYN BAY WEDNESDAYS WIN THEIR OPENING MATCH. Col wy n Bay Wednesdays 6 Llanfairfechan Wednesdays. 4 This friendly was played yesterday (Wednes- day) at Llanfairfechan, it being the first game of the season for botfh teams. Llanfairfetihaoi 1lt tho eleventh hour found it impossible to put on their best team, but Colwyn Bay were well represented. The teams were:— LLANFAIRFECHAN: W. Thomas; W. Jones, W. J. Jones; R.

Jones, Wilkins, Golds-1. vor thy, Percy Hughes, and ilugli Hughes. Referee, Mr Harold Morgan. The local forward's commenced operations in a promising manner, Hughes and Pughe testing Stanley. Then the Bay forwards advanced only to find W. J. Jones in the best trim. Morris, wit.h a ion? dfrive, opened Llanfairfecihan's ao- oount, but Percy Hughes equalised with a swift grounder. Davie Hughes had another pot at ,Ba>' £ °a,< arK' Llewelyn Jones nut tho *oca,Ls ajic&frf. After fcliis revorso tho Bay mon became aggressive, and Hugh Hughes dropped gill a lorely centre from. the flag-post, whilst Wilkins eqraahsed, though the whistle had appa- rently gone for a.n infringement! just bafore the point was soored. At the interval the score was 2-2. Directly the game restarted the home for- wards, who made up in energy what they lack- ed in the finea- points of the game, attacked the Bay goal, a-bly backed up by the halves.

NORTH WALES WRFiNFSDAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE. HANDSOME SHIELD SECURED. Mr R. Greenfield presided cror a meeting <bf the North Wales Wednesday Football League Committee heiLd at the Station Hotel, Llandudno Junction, on Monday evening. There were present; Messrs H. Hayden. Llan- dudno: J. H. Brookes, Deganwy; A. Wilson, Llandudno Corinthians; Geo. Mason, Colwyn Bay; H. J. Wilson, Conway; L. Llan- dudno Corinthians; J. Jones. LLandndno; to- gether with the Secretary (Mt F. W. Jones, Iilandudno). The Secretary reported that the League membership now consisted of the liandndno CeJtB, Uandudno Oo«ninthians; Colwyn Bay (Wednesdays), Deganwy, Pen maenraawr, and Ilaufaixfeohan. Tho Bangor Wednesday CLub, who :played to the Leag-ue last 'season, had now become defunct, 1 It was decided that out of the .£1 deposited IV the Ranger Club, the exj^nsea w tW A E e ( match with the Celts (which Bangor failed t-o fulfil) be paid, amounting to 7s, and the balance be retained by the League. AMENDED RULES. A motion proposed by Mr Maeon, Colwyn Bay, to amend rule 8 caused a good deal of discussion. The ,rule as it stood reed: "That a.ny | player jjJayung for a Wednesday club ehaiU be a.ii Amateur, not having played for any Satur- day club." Mr Maroai proposed that the following should be the rule "That any played' pkiying for a W'ednesday club shall be an amateur, not having played for any affiliated clu-b, without the peirjiiission of the League Com- mittee." It was fina'Cy decided, at tlie suggestion of the Cfeairma-n, that the motion of Mr Mason be a-ec-epted, but that a lianat be in- serted, so that the rule should read that no player must play for a. Saturday club aftex December 1st. Rule 19 of the North Coast Football Association, with regard to the selecting of referees oif tlie Held ut a malcli, was adopted. NEW CHAIRMAN. Mr C. Felix, of the St. Tudno's Hotel, L.1an- dudno, was elected chairman of the League ,for the ensuing year, and Mr Tom Edwaids, Conwav, v.ioe-diai.mian. THE SHIELD FUND. Mr Greenfield reported that at the previous meeting of the League the amount of money ca'Jeobcd towards the shield fund was £ 7 lis 6d, but that had now increased to -29 6s (cheers). He did not think it would be meoessary to call upon the clusbs to make up the amount. The list consisted of 60 sub- scribers already (hear, hear). Mr Mason, Cotlwyn Bay, moved a hearty vote of thanks to the chairman for the very capable way in which he haxi got togetiheir the money for the shield. Mr H. Hayden seconded. Mr Fred Jones, the secretary, in support- illg the motion, remarked that it was the only case in the co-urse of his long career in which he had known one man to undertake such responsibility single-handed. It was all the more ci'editable to Mr Gieenheld, he added, seeing that he had not always been associated with foot-bald (hear, hear). The vote was carried with enthusiasm. Mr Greenfield remarked that the task had beon a pleasure to him. A broinze shield, vsilue X12 10s, was then selected from a catalogue produced by the socretaj-y, as tlie one to be purchased. 1 On the suggestion of MT Mason, it was atlso decided that a match, the champions v. the rest of the League, be played for the benefit of the League at the end of tho eetieon.

HOCKEY. LLANDUDNO v. RUABON. (By "Spectator"). Llandudno met with their firet defeat on Sat- urday, lo.ing to Ruabon by four goals to nil. Ruabon playing a strong bust/ling game through- out., The home team on Saturday was ra a way reorganised, C. N. Jones loaym his poeitiwi at back for centre, GriffithB dropping to full-back. Liandiidno failed mainly through the weakness of forwards against the Rual:g-n b-wk-s, and wi-o feeble hitting of their own defence. Neverthe- less, personalty, I am looking for ward to vast im- provement in their play on Saturday, M Llan. dudno to my mind have a very capable team. The following players represented Uandndno: —BrookLehurst, goal"; CxoTdon Cliantrey and M. K. Griffith, backs; F. B. Rceeo, E. Pjix-ry end D. 0. Daviea, halves; LI Bone,. G. Jones, C. N. Jones, Price and E. Barlow, forwajxls.

BEMAEKABLE LLANFAIR- FECHAN JABE. YOUNG WOMAN CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER, ACCUSED COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. At Bangor Petty Sess'ions, on Tuesday, be- fore Mr W. Pughe and other miaig-iistvrates, Laurie Rerris, cook at the Glcxg-y Home of Rest, Llaaifairfechan, was charged with the manslaug'hter of an illegitimate child, of whåch she was the mothcx. The matter had been inquired into by the North Carnarvon- shÍJre Coroner and a jury, who returned a veirdict of "Death by misadventure." Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted for the poJioe, and the accused, who looked very dejected throughout the hearing' ox the case, was de- fended by Mr Rurnsey Williams. The Chief-ConstabLe occupied a seat on tike Bcnch. In opeming, Mr S. R. Dew mentioned that the accused, who was 21 years of age, was, im addition to belling charged with man- slaughter, charged with conezazing the birth of her halby, and he asked for her committal to .the Carnairvoorahke .Assises. Engaged as a cook at the Home of Rest, she entered the institution on April 8th or 9th last. On September 12th, a report was mado to the ■Superintendent of the Home (Mces Bona- dale) that. the aceuscd appealed to be vory ill, and Miss Bon-odale told he'- to to bed, and she took up a hot water fboitle to her bedroom. Later in the evening shoe went up to the bedroom of the accused, and this time ahe found the door locked, but accused open- ed it. She noticed the aocueed crawling back into bed. Observing certain things, Mies Borradaie's guspioions were aroused, and she asked a doctor, wiho was staying sit the Home for the day, to pee her, and he asked hetr de- finiteiy wiheitlher there was aayfiiing -65 could account for, and she replied No." The doc- tor left the (room with Miss Borradale, who returned and repeated the question to the accused, who made the same answer. Her suspicions increased, and at length she pent for Dr. Clifton Hughes and the distract nunse. Mass Boo'iadale decided to have the room washed out, and she noticed an offen- sive smell emanating from a box,-a. fixture which was used as a washstaatd in the corner of the room. She cailcd -the attention of the aocu&cd ito the ibox, and she said "Yes, mum, I have put something in there." Miss Borr dale sald, "Goodness, child; you don't ire4m to say you had a baby on Monday night] and accused replkd "Yes." Tlie body of a dead baby was found in the box, which was opened by the district nurse. The baby, the doctors could say, had a separate existence, and was naturally born, and had she obtain- ed proper assistance at the birth, the cthiild would undoubbrxlily have lived. THE EVIDENCE. Miss M. D. BonraduJe, lady eufjerlntendont of the Cterg-y Home of Rest, Uantfaiirtfeichan, gave oevidenoe that the accused was cook at that institution. She was tihetre for a. few months last year, and returned in April last. Witness then ropeated the statement made by Mæ Dew, in his ening. The accused wirote on September 1-tth a letter -to a young man, aaid it was shown witness. Mar Rumsey Wiilliam-As objected to the con- tents of the letter being divulged in the ab- sence of the original document. Witness stated that when the accused made the admission, she explained she did so on account of the letter sh0 had received from 'her young man. She handed vv.tniess the let- ter, wihiich was read by the Clerk to the Magistrates (Mir H. C. Yinoant). The writer stated tihat the Letter he had received from the accused was a very unfortunate one, and he was very upset on getting it, hut it was as dhe sadi, cund it was no use worrying aocut it. He was very pleased to hep- that she was giciing on airtight, and Lopcd it would con- tinue. "I am sorry you didn't say whether the child was bora alive or not, or what it was," proceeded the leiJter. "I suppo^ I sluLU beatr later on. I promised I would go through it if anything was the matter." Ho had (been looking through the letters 912,12t by the accused to him, and found that she loft the Clergy Home of Rest on October 30th and came home to stay on December 9th or 10th. Then she went to Hail] Green, eo fho was only home in the month of Novemoer. He said' that he was unable to marry the qc- cueed, as he "would have to leave his mother and famf.ily to do the best they couid, and accused knew wlhaltposition they were- in, having no father to .provide (far them. He sug- gested to accused that eihe should try and koep her situation. The letter was signed "A. -H-w-v-ey." Tlie Witness, continuing her eviacnee, eacd she had no suspicion that the accused was pregnant. Cross-examined by Mr Rumsey Wh^ k'ttis, -witno-s said that the box in which the baby was found was nott locked. She the accused all her life, she being the daughter of a widow with a laTge family, aeid she always found h«r a weJl-beliav-cd girl. The door of the accused's bedroom could not really be -locked, but was fastened mih a hook. The Magistrates' Clerk: Was the pettaooat d the baby arranged so as to protect it from tlie ooid?—I sliouid not say so. Mr T/ew: There was no provisiictn made for allowing the baby to (brcatlho?—I could not Dr. E. 0. Price, divisional police surgeon, crave evidence that the child iLad a separate existence. Had the ohild proper atten- taoai ait its birth he knew of nothing which wouM have prevented it fr-n Irving. Dr Clifton Ilnghcs, Llanfairi«jhan, aii*> stated: ihftt the dhikl had a septate existence. Th;a Was cross-examined by Mr Runisey WJ- liams, who endeavoured to show that tho child might have been quite aocidientaHy strangled. Thw <ieetx>r 6aad there were no signs of violence. Further ev-deoioa was given by Nuroe Mary Hiurkes, Willow Grwe. Uanfai rf«chan„ Kate Harrison housemaid, and Annie Evap- parlour- maid at the Clergy Home of Rest. who re- peated the evidcaioe given by tiieou at the iiir The last named witness said that tha aceussd had latched the dioor of her room on Monday night. if accused wanted; assistance there was aothingi to prevent her asking witneea by Mr Ikameey Wilkaia, witness said ghe slept in the same room as the accused on Monday nagfofc. „ Supt. G. T. Guest stated that on October 5th he dbargod1 t.b& aeouESod with inanslau^hteir, and ahe made no reply. K»at morning he charged! har with oonoeahng 'the birth of her child, but die again made no". Replying to Mr EUuxaey Wiloame, Svpt Guest said three ques- i> "t -■ '0: tiosis were kft to the jury at the inquest. The first was: "Did she do all she might have done?" and the jury replied, "No," and they stated that the child's chances of living were neglooto^ but they averred that the mother was not culpably negligent. When formally charged, tlie aceueed pleaded "Not guilty," edding that she did not wish to call any "witnesses. THE DEFENCE. Mr Runwpy Wilhams, addressing' the Bench for the detfenoe, said he did not fehink the magis- trates could conve to tlie coaciusioai. having re- gard to tie- medical evideaiee, that there was a sufficient case to place before the jury upon j whk'h they ccrald te exp-eobyj to br.ng in a ver- dict of guilty against the aeouced of hAvin^" sfeKig'hftered! her child. The concealment of birth charge was otto he could not resist, but it could not be eaad that a prima fac c cam of man- .u,-hter had been made out. The contention of the proescutksi ves that she had not mado sufficient preparations for the birth of the child, but sh-o did not. lenow it was so close. AiNTiat one expected in theeo eaocv, was absent, there be" ing no mark of viotenoc on the baby's body. It had been sutrg^Gt-ed that there was an omission, I and it was for the magistrates to say whether the omission was a culpable one. The accused could, not 00 expected to have tho knowledge of I a doctor or aocouober. The evidence of the doctor was consistent with her straightforward story. No doubt there h-cd been o £ >;iceaxmen,t of birtik, but that was an after thought. As a rule, I' these cases were not brought forward unless there were sig1S of viol'H1Coe on the body of the childt, or some overt act in the treatment of the child, but in this case the medical evidence wias entirely in accord1 with the statement made by the mother. She suddenly gave birid, to the child, and as an after thought concealed it. He admitted he could not- insist- the concealment charge. The Bench announced that the accivnedi would be committed on the charge of concealment of birth, whereupon the Magistrates' Clerk pointed out that the evidence they had heard referred to the charge of manslaughter and not to the alleged conoeaLment of birth. The Beiic-h retired, and on returning, the Chair-main eaidl, "ai, the advice of our oierk, we commit the accused for trial on the charge of ma nsl au "J¡J08T." ALLEGED CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH. The alSO of 0011002lmont of birth was then gone into, the material portions of tlie evidence of M ss Borradcjlo teing rc»peated, and Supt Guest stated that a<x>used( made no roply when chargcd. Tho accused, on being1 formally charged pleaded "Guilty," and she was committed on this charge also. Mr Rumsey Williams applied for a certificate that the costs of the dofenico at the Assizes ehould be allowed under the Poor Prisoners' Defence Act. The Chairm a.n Yei it is a proper case. We wjJI grant the certificate, and assign Mr Rurnsey Williams for the defence. It was suggested that bail might be allowed tho accused, but the Chairman pointed out that the Assizes were to be held im a few days' time.

A circular letter was readj from the Secretary of the Conference recently held at Bangor on the casual vagrancy question, submitting the following resolutions adopted' by the delegates.;— "That in the opinion, of this conference, it is advisable with the view to securing uniformity of administration in relation to casual paupers that a. oooimittp's bs appointed te represent the unions partly situated in the administrative councios of Carnarvaa and Angieaey who shail formulate a s,Le,-m for submission to. the var- Low Boards of Guardians. In any such echein-9 it is essential, in the oprrirur of this conference, that vagrants should be detained at the Work- houses over Sundays." "That aacih Union shall appoint one represen- tative to attend fee committee." "That in the meantime the attention of the Bo* rds of Guardians hi drawn to the Casual Order of 1882, and that they be recommended tc. arlvere to the same as strictly as practicable in each Workhouse." I Rev. J Gower sai-d he had attended the con- ference with the Chadrmain. as the representa- tives of the Board. There was a strong feeling against the action of Carnarvon in allowing vagrants to go out of the. Workhouse on Sun- days. It was said that ovor 800 tramps wont through that Workhouse monthly, and they were let out after being there only a night. The delegates from the Union were, therefore, urged to lceep them fas4 during Sundays as they were diangerous to the county, especially in the coun- try districts, where houses were left unguarded while the inmates attended Divine services. They could not do better than adopt the gystomin force at Llanrwst, namely, g,ivmg tramps 300 owts. of stones to break before they were allow- ed to leave the premises. The Inspector said that the tramps should not be set too heavy a task, and he (the speaker) replied that the Unions ought to give them ae much as possible. The Local Government Board should take the I matter up and prepare a pl-aoe for them, with ptickete to guard them, and make them toil in the land or gardens. For the first offence they should be placed in the compound for twelve months; second offence, for two years, and if they still dung to their old habits they should plaoe them there perTir-no-ativ. If this system were adopted the oounty would become a para- dise. The police took charge of those they couid gtet hold of, but it woukl require police oon- stables stationed around the oounty as thick as amts to adequately oope with the difficulty. Some vagrants employed dogs to fight other dogs left to guard isolated houses, while they themselves broke into the -hou^s to steal. Such an experience happened to him once, but be fortunately shot the dog. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr John Hughes, the Rev. J. Gower was ap- pointed to represent the Bocrd on the commit- tee. DISTRICT NURSING. The following letter was read from Mrs M.

Tte scale of subscription is not yet fixed, but it WAS suggested that the nurse s services Should be free at the houses in the district. The only exception will be mater- nity CiUjes, for wliksh a small special Ice is charged as the nurs3 takes the plaoe of a o--i- ti- ficateJ mod-wife. Unnier these circuriistaBices, I trust your Board wll see their way to give us a grant towards her support. Perhaps I may point out that nursing- m their own hou^^es will add to the comfort 01 the patients and ic- lieve the rates." Mr Mils said he already had a notice of motion to raovei relative to the annual subscrip- tions to the Iianrwst District Nursing Assocda^ tien. He tbein formally moved that the resolu- tion to suixxribe ES 5s towards the Llanrwet Nursing Association be rescinded,, and that it b. increased to £ 3 3s. He conscientiously felt tho swbssriptions should be raised. The district nurse daring- the last year paid OTer 700 visii3 to paupers, and in some oases stayed aid night with the patients. The subscripticsis of Lb 5s was only just sufficient to dtefrav the coat of bandages and ointment used for the paupers. He believed th-c Association was the means of toe-ping cbown the rates, and it should) be sup- ported by the Board better than it had been J'D. the past, Mr D. G. Jones said the original subscription was reduced to JES 5s in order that the Board might subscribe towards charitable institutions on Liverpool, where th?y occasionally sent I patients to. The Chairman: As you will observe by Mrs Wynne-Finch's letter, we are eaci>scted to sub- scribe towards the Association which is in course of formation in that district. Otiher parishes will follow suit. So wo have to exercise care how we distribute our subscriptions. Mr Mathew Roberts: Nurses are of far more value in county districts than in tbwns, where medical men are always available. Mr J. Berry: Taking into consideration the rateable value of the town, this subscription is too low, considering the valuable services ren- dered by the nurse. Rev. J. Gower: But all the- progeny of Adam seek refuge at Llanrwst (laughter). Mr O IJoyd Jones moved an amendment that the subscriptions remain the same, and this was carried by a large majority. It was further dco'ded to defer consideration of the Pentrevoelas application for a month. ESTIMATED CALLS. The Clerk reported ttiat the. estimated ex- penditure for the enguhttg- six months was £ 2400, while £ 1000 would be required for t'he reserve balance, making a total of £3400. Out of this, however, there would be from grants I and other sources the sum of J31118 available, wliJ-e there was a balance in the credit of the Union of £ 961, which Left £ 1314 to corn, out of the ITte3 or d,2 less thin for th< prc-% ions dt months. Against this, however, tii« r*- hud beflb a reduction in tLe assessable „e oi L_ Rau* way Company or JElSOO, wliich would entail a$ increase of a yd -n the rate, although the total amount was almost iho same. So the rate would be 5d instead of 5d. The Carnarvon- shire County (Jonmcii precept was 9jd or 2d less than the previous i-, -Y.&ax, and t'he Denbigh- shire County Council llfd or a decrease of ^d.
