Sin,-I feel that I am under great per- sonal obligations to you as the discoverer of the now world-renow-ed QUININE BITTKIIS. To it I owe restoration of bodily health and strength when all other remedies and doctors had failed to give me any Lasting Benefit. Few men have suffered more than I have dime, and certainly there can be but few cases which would be considered more hopeless than mine, before I tried your invaluable remedy. I was compelled to be very care- ful as to what food I partook of, as nearly everything I ate gave me great pain. My stomach was distended with wind, which again pressed upon the other great organs of the body—such as the lungs, liver, and heart, upon the fulfilling of whose functions proper bodily health, comfort, and strength necessarily depends. So great was this distension at times that I often feared my heart would stop its beating for ever. I felt weak, dispirited, and nervous. I feared to speak a word in public, and I felt I might at any moment fall dead. My breathing was difficult, rapid, and weak while sometimes my heart beat so loudly that people who satin the same room with me could plainly hear it. My life was a burden to me and a trouble and anxiety to others. In this unhappy condition I was persuaded to try your QUININK BITTERS, though from my experience of other remedies, which I had tried in vain, I had very little faith in this remedy. I tried a 2s 9d bottle. Before I had finished taking this I felt such a decided change for the better that I readily obtained another 4s 6d bottle, with the most happy consequences. Now I am strong and healthy—perfectly healthy, and have been so until now- stronger in mind and in body than I have been for years previously, and that at a, cost of lis 9d. Since then I have recom- mended it to dozens of others, and I have never yet seen anyone give it a fair trial without being benefited by it and perfectly satisfied with it. E. W. JONES.

Fine weather has prevailed during the holiday season, and there has been plenty of football. The spectators have not attended the Wrexham matches in very large numbers. Perhaps the cold weather has kept them away, or, a whisper reaches us to the effect that the matches have hardly been good enough. On Saturday, Hanley Town visited Wrexham. There was a very small gate," and the home club has lost considerably over the match. A poor game ended in a win for the home team by two goals to one, and this about represents the play. On Bank Holiday, there were two games on the Racecourse. In the morning, Westminster Rovers, who were beaten by Rhostyllen, on Saturday, and Wrexham League played a Welsh League match. The game was well contested, and some good play- was shown on both sides. At half-time, the home team led by three goals to nil. The Rovers, however, played up splendidly, in the second half, and ran out winners by five goals to three. In the afternoon, the Combination team played the Druids, and won by four goals to two. On Tuesday morning, the Gymnasium and West- minster Rovers Reserve re-played their Junior Cup tie, on the Gyms' ground. The home team were without Beeston and R. Hughes. The Gymns had more of the play than the Rovers, but their shooting was bad. The Rovers played to win, and they did by two goals to one. Shrewsbury Town, by the order of the Welsh Association, were to have visited Wrexham in the afternoon of the same day. The first team was, how- ever, at Chester, and the Reserve team came to Wrexham. This is not the conduct one expects from a club of the standing of Shrewsbury, and we understand their action will be brought before the Welsh Association. As to the game, the visitors were out-classed, but played up pluckily. The home men played care- lessly, but it is hardly fair to criticise their play in such a match. Druids and Rhos played off their Welsh Cnp tie, at Ruabon, on Saturday, the home team winnining by four goals to two. The score about represents the play. The visitors' defence was good, but the forwards shot badly. Chirk were beaten by Leek, at Leek, on Saturday, but had their revenge, at Chirk, on Monday. The visitors defended well, but the forwards were very poor. It was like old times to see T. Wynne playing back for Chirk.

SHREWSBURY TOWN V. WESTMINSTER ROVEES.— Played at Shrewsbury, on Monday, the home team winning by eight goals to one. GAINSBOROUGH TRINITY Y. RHOS. Played at Gainsborough, on Monday. The home team had nearly all the play, and finally won by nine goals to nil. WREXHAM v. DRulDs.-These teams played a friendly match on Wrexham Racecourse on Bank Holiday, before a goodly number of spectators. Both teams were well represented, and a good game was witnessed. At the end of the first portion of the game Wrexham were leading by three goals to one, but the second part was more even, and both sides scoring a goal the final result was:— Wrexham, four goals; Druids, two. WREXHAM V. SHREWSBURY Tow-Played on Wrexham Racecourse, on Tuesday, before a good number of spectators. Shrewsbury sent their second team, and Wrexham did nearly all the scoring. The visitors were the first to score, but at half-time the score was Wrexham five goals, Shrewsbury one. On changing ends, Wrexham quickly added five goals, but the visitors then played up, and scored with a long shot. AVrexham added another point, and the final score was-lvrexhaiii, eleven goals; Shrewsbury, two. The Wrexham goals were scored by Lea (31, Turner (2), Pugh (2), Owen (2),J. Hughes, and Hayes. The following were the teams :—Wrexham Jones, goal Edwards and Williams, backs Lea, Wilding, and Samuels, half-backs Owen, Turner, Hayes, J. Hughes, and Pugh, forwards. Shrewsbury: R. Jones, goal; Morris and Titley, backs Evers, Down, and Howell, half-backs Stainer, Phillpot, Pickin, Hobin. and Luter, forwards. WREXHAM V. HAXI.EY TOWN.—On Saturday, Wrex- ham met Hanley on the Wrexham Racecourse. The visitors, who were well represented, opened the game with some effective play. Williams cleared, how- ever, and then Turner tried the Hanley goal with a good shot, but through Davies. it was ineffectual. Jones, shortly afterwards, had to save the Wrexham goal at the expense of a corner, but tl.,e ball was fortunately got away. After more piessure on the part of Ilanley, and a spell of well balanced play, things looked dangerous for the visitors. Joe Turner then notched the first point for the home men. The visitors struggled hard until the interval, but they failed to score. During the second half, the visitors for some time appeared to have the advantage, but the home forwards got away and Joe Pugh scored the second point. The visitors made streuuous endeavours to get on the same footing, and ultimately scored out of a scrimmage. The game ended in a win for 'I Wrexham by two goals to one.

The home team kicked off against the wind. and spirited play ensued. Chester had the best of the play for some time, Morris and Fleming each scoring a goal. The teams played splendid football, and the display of the home side was very good. A fast and exciting game resulted—Chester, three goals Ever- ton, two. MACCLESFIELD V. BUXTON.—Ployed at Buxton, on Monday. Macclesfield kicked off against the wind," and had hard lines. The game was verv fast on the greasy ground. Shaw got a splendid goal for Buxton, I and after this there was fast play in mid-field and Buxton scored again. Half-time--Buxton, two goals Macclesfield, none. Macclesfield then pressed and equalised. Result—Buxton, two goals Macclesficld. two. STOKE SWIFTS V. DRESDEN UNITED. — Played at Stoke, on Monday, before 2,000 spectators, on a hard- frozen and dangerous ground. Both teams were well I represented. Dresden won the toss, and the Swifts kicked off. For the greater port ion of the first half I' the Swifts pressed hard, but it was not until a minute before half time that they scored their first goal from a free kick. The second half was more evenly con- tested, the United forwards putting in some "ood work. Shortly before the close, the Swifts scored another, and the game ended—Stoke Swifts, two goals Dresden United, none. CmRK Y. LEF.K,-This return Combination Match was played at Chirk, on Monday, before a large gate. From the kick-off, the visitors became tagressors, but the period was very short, and the Chirk men took np the running, and visited the visitors' goal, when James was given "off-sid." The play continued in the visitors' half. After Hall had stopped a shot by Meredith, W. Owen sent another which scored. From the centre kick, the home club continued to press, but Lowe and Cautrill played strongly, and although the home forwards continued in the visitors' half the Leek full backs covered Hall in grand style. A corner for Chirk was well placed, and W. Owen shot over. Another shot by Owen hit the cross bar and pressure was relieved by Mates shooting over. After the visitors' right wing had made a run, the home for- wards again swarmed round the Leek goal. A shot by M. Roberts was nicely put over the cross-bar by Hall, and two corners were got away. Hall was again visited, and Owen shot. Hall saved, and he ably negotiated shots by James and M. Roberts. The pressure was most severe, but the backs and goal keeper kept the goal intact.—In the second half, the home club had the best of the initial exchanges, and for some minutes kept up a continuous pressure on the visitors' goal. After Mates had given relief by shooting over, Gade received the ball and ran it up the whole length of the field, and judiciously cen- tering, Ball equalised. This livened the visitors up, and they played with far more determination. The visiting forwards had a look in, but their efforts gene- rally were weak, and the game again was in the Leek quarters. The second half was, however, thirty minutes old before Chirk put on a second goal. Right from the centre kick, W. Owen piloted the ball past all opposition and gave to James, who registered the third goal. Before the finish, Roberts scored again, and the final result was Chirk four goals, Leek one. The following were the teams :—Chirk Morris, goal; Wynne and E. Powell, backs G. Wil- liams, J. Mates, and E. Morris, half-backs Mere- dith M. Roberts, W. Owen, E. James, and G. Owen, forwards. Leek: Hall, goal Lowe and Cautrill, backs Graythorne, Perkins, and Drury, half-backs Ferbv, Parr, Ball, Ilollinohoad, and Gade, fomv«u*ds. Referee, Mr J. Taylor, W.F.A.

THE WELSH CUP. I DRFIDS v. RHOS.—These teams met in the third round in the Welsh Cup Competition, at Ruabon, on Saturday. Considerable interest was centred in the match, and there was a large attendance of specta- tors. The ground was in a hard condition. From the kick-off the play at once became fast and excit- ing. The visitors raced down to the home goal, but Evans saved, and the home right effected a good run. Vaughan centred, and Cafferty conceded a corner. The Druids were again attacking with much spirit when James Davies sent behind. After a good run by P. Kyffin and Llovd, a corner was granted to the visitors, but without proving beneficial. The play then ruled even, each set of half-backs putting in some good work. The home right again raced away, and, after some tricky passing, Jones centred and J. Davies notched the fiist goal. From the centre kick the leather was taken to the Druids' half, and the i backs cleared. The home left wing were conspicuous, and Pritchard saved a shot by Jones. Gittens met another shot from Vaughan. J. Davies ran up the centre and passed to T. Davies, who, after a short run, sent in a swift, low shot, which Cafferty failed to stop, and the second goal for the Druids was thus registered. The visitors now made determined efforts to score, but their final shots were erratic. The home right was again busy, and a shot by Vaughan was well stopped by Cafferty. Gittens and .rntehard exnibitea strong defence, and Hughes, in the centre, effected a good run, and Upton conceded a corner, which was got away. Kyffin directly after- wards had a good opening, but shot wi le. Another combined effort by the visiting forwards was well cleared by W. P. Jones, and the Druids had slightly the best of the exchanges, Jones and Vaughan, on the right wing, doing the lion share of the work. Gittens ably defended, bat Jones, with a long shot, which passed just under the bar, scored the third goal for the Druids. These reverses roused the visitors, who played with greater dash and determina- tion, and gave the home backs plenty of work. At half-time, however, the home club were leading by three goals to itil.-Oii resuming, the visitors went off with a rare lash and a corner was gianted, which was nicely placed and Reeves scored. The visitors con- tinued the pressure, and Upton was called upon to save a shot from Hughes, which he did at the expense of a corner. This was again well placed, and a second point was headed through for the visitors. From the centre kick, the Druids roused themselves and the game became exciting. D. Evans was injured, and he was obliged to leave the field. Kyffin was afterwards injured, but he soon resumed his position. The game proved very even. The ball repeatedly travelled from goal to goal, and many easy chances were lost by both sides. W. Jones made a capital run and passed to the right wing, and after some good work in front of goal, Vaughan shot the fourth goal for the Druids. The visitors made strenuous efforts, and the home backs were kept busy, but they kept their goal intact, and when the whistle sounded for time, the Druids were winners by four goals to two. The following were the teai;:ts :— Druids Upton, goal W. P. Jones and W. Evans, backs D. Evans, C. Thomas, and T. Taylor, half- backs W. Jones, T. Davies, J. Davies, R. T. Jones, and J. Vaughan, forwards. Rhos M. Cafferty, goal C. Gittens and M. Pritchard, backs; G. Owen, I A. Williams, and J. Kyffin, half-backs; L. Lloyd, P. Kyffin, A. Hughes, J. 11. Salisbury, and W. Reeves, forwards. Referee, Mr F. T. Evans.

THE LEAGUE. I There were some rather curious results in the League matches, on Saturday. Burnley were again too good for Everton, at Liverpool. The home team had two-thirds of the play, but failed to score, while Burnley got one in the second half, and won by that point to nothing. Newton Heath got a big licking from Sheffield Wednesday. The match was played on the Newton Heath ground, and the home team were beaten by five goals to one. Bolton Wanderers did a good performance in drawing at one all" with Aston Villa, at Perry Bar. The Rovers consider- ably improved their position in the list by defeating Notts County, at Blackburn, by one goal to nil. Sunderland met West Bromwich Albion, at West Bromwich. The game was well contested, but the men from the north were in fine form, and won by three goals to one. This put them at the head of the League. Derby County got the better of Stoke, at Derby, Lv one goal to nil. Notts Forest and Wolver- hampton Wanderers played a fine game at Notting- ham, the Forest winning by three goals to one. In the second division, Bootle and Walsall Town Swifts drew at "four all"; Darwen beat Burton Swifts by two goals to nil; Grimsby Town beat Crewe Alexandra, by four goals to nil; Lincoln City beat Ardwic-k by two goals to one and Small Heath beat Nortliwich Victoria by four goals to nil. Sunderland did not long remain at the head of the I League, as on Monday, after a hard game, the Wanderers beat the leaders, at Wolverhampton, by two goals to nil. At the same time, Preston North End rlifiposed of Newton Heath, the bottom club, although they experienced some difficulty, and only got home by two goals to one. Blackburn Rovers gained rather a lucky win at West Bromwich, by two goals to one. and Bolton Wanderers were again I "drawing," the result of their game yi- -li Derby County being "one goal each." Accrington were too good for Stoke to the extent of five goals to two. On Tuesday, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion, played at Wolverhampton before a big company. After a capital first half the sides changed ends without any scoring having taken place. Subsequently the Albion secured :L point through the agency of McLeo.L However Wolverhampton equalised, and the match at the end was drawn at one goal all. Second Division. Burton Swifts aud Sheffield United engaged in a game at Sheffield. Result: Sheffield two goals, Burton one.

I MOLD EISTEDDFOD. I This annual gathering, which though called an Eisteddfod, is really, excepting the choral competi- tions, the outcome of Sunday school work in Mold and district, came off on Monday, with great eleat, this anniversary being decidedly the most popular of any yet held, during the nearly forty years since the meetings were first started. The weather was very fine, though cold, but out-door exercise became an exhilarating pleasure, so the country people were not afraid oftoriiin- into the town. Therefore, as soon as the doors of the Town Hall were thrown open, soon after one o'clock, the room immediately became fall, and ere long it was crowded almost to its utmost capacity. The chair was taken by Mr Daniel Owen. who in brief and appropriate words opened the busi- ness of the day. Then came the adjudications, the first of which was that of Mr Thomas Jones, of the Board School, on the handwriting, of which about twenty boys and girls had tried. The awards were :-Boys-I, C. Pownall; 2, R. E. Price; 3, J. II. Parry, all of Mold. Girls—1, P. Davies; 2. C. A. Jones; 3, M. Davies, also of Mold. Then followed a competitive recitation, five essaying the task, the piece selected being Tiberias." The first prize was awarded to Anna. Davies, Bank Place. and the second to Margaret Edwards. Mr John Henry, of Liverpool, then sang, with much power and finish, Yr Ornest," and there followed a choral competition between three choirs. the piece selected being "'Ffarwei i ti Gvmru f;ill." The choirs were from Llanarmon, Rhosesmor, and Bwlchgwyn. Mr Henry, who was also musical adjudi- cator, awarding the prize, X5 to the latter, tniid very loud applause. The next was the adj udication of the Rev. Professor Ellis Edwards, on the translation from English to Welsh, the first being Mr Cadwaladr Griffiths, and the second Mr D. Arthur, Mold, there being nine competitors. The translation from Welsh to English was not judged to be worthy of the prize. In paraphrasing, the second prize was awarded to Mr Cadwaladr Griffiths. Ten had entered for the baritone competition on "Teyrn y dydd, and the prize was awarded to Mr Thoni.is Adams, late of Mrs B. Powell and Co. Then followed the adjudication of the Rev. J. P. Davies, M.A., Chester, on the Scriptural examinations, of which there were four classes, and about thirty papers. The first was the adult examination on the first two chapters of the Epistle to the Galatians. The first prize was awarded to Mr D. Arthur, Mold, and the second to Mr J. D. Griffiths, Pantglas. In the second division on the same subject, hut confined to those under twenty-one years of age, the first prize was awarded to T. Alyn Jones, High-street, and the second to T. Williams, Tryddyn. The subject matter of the third division, under seventeen years of age. was the history of Moses as contained in the twelve first chapters of Exodus. The first prize was awarded to D. Hooson, Nerquis, and the second was divided between Edith Davies, Bank-place, and Nelly Griffiths, High-street. In the fourth division, under thirteen years, the same subject, but another set of questions. The first prize was given to Bertie Jones, Meadow-place, the second being divided between Myfanwy Davies and Polly Davies. The next was the adjudication of the Rev. Professor Edwards, on the best 100 lines in memorium of the late Dr. Owen Thomas. The first was Mr Fergusson Jones, Holywell; but as he lived beyond, the limits laid down, the prize was given to Mr John Williams, Plasymhowys, Tryddyn. On the second subject, The Departure from Egypt," there was no composition worthy of a prize. Following this award came the chief choral com- petition on "Hyùd melus gofio y Cyfammod." Five choirs, numbering over fifty voices each, had entered, and each put in a,n appearance. These were the Mold Choir, Mr T. Foulkes, conductor the Bwlch- gwyn United, Mr R. Jones, conductor; the Bagillt Choral Society, Mr Jones, conductor: the Leeswood Choir, Mr Jones (Plasnewydd) conductor; and Rhos- llancrchrugog, Mr Powell, conductor. The adjudicator highly praised the singing all round, but the choirs were unfortunate in beginning a little out of time. Perhaps the best quality of voices was in the Mold Choir, but clearly there had not been sufficient practice, and amid great cheering the adjudicator declared the Bwlchgwyn Choir to be the victors, the next two being Mold and Rhos in order of merit. This brought the afternoon portion of the festival to a close. In the evening the hall was packed to its utmost extent, there being no standing room available any- where, so that order was a thing to be v.ished for rather than attained. The Rev. J. Owen presided, and delivered a short address, after which the busi- ness of the evening was proceeded with. The first was a rehearsal of the anthem Bydd menu; gofio," by the successful choir. Then came the adjudication of the Rev. Professor E. Edwards on the essays. On the first subject the first prize was awarded to M. Edwards, Caergwrle, and the second to Miss H. Hellen, Leeswood. On the second subject the first prize was awarded to Mr F. Edwards, Halkyn, and the second to Mr Powell Jones, Halkyn. On the third subject the prize was awarded to Miss Hop- wood, Leeswood. Mr Henry having sung There is a green hill fa,r away," the suceessfni choir contri- buted another chorus. Then followed a •joninetition for boys under thirteen, in singing Dnre to be a. Daniel," the first prize being awarded to Thomas Carrington, Bwlchgwyn, and the sc ond to J. Edwarc's, Rhosesmor. Then the con wtition in reciting Y nhw," for children under twelve—1, M. Davies 2, F. Roberts 3, H. Jones. For the tenor solo competition there were thirteen comp" etitors, ten of whom were weeded out in the morningThe prize was awarded to Seth Jones, Broughten, near W rex- ham. Six had entered for the soprano solo, Nos dn," and the prize was awarded to Miss Maggie Williams, Llanarmon. For a recitation selected from the late Hiraethog's Ode on "Jab," the prize was awarded to Mr E. AVilli,ins, Ffritb, Wrexham. The quartette brought cut three parties, the subject being Blodeuyn ba<:h," and the prize was divided between the J Janarmon and Broughton parties. For the freehand drawing competition, the first prize was awarded to R. T. Pugb, and the second to W. Pierce Roberts, both of Mold. Then came the ifnale, the male voice competition in sinking •• The Crusaders," by D. Protheroe. Three parties had entered, but one only put in an appearance, the Ponkey Choir, to whom the prize was awarded, the rendering being a very successful one. This brought the largest meet- ing ever held in the hall to a conclusion, and we understand that no less a sum that X74 was taken t the doors during the day, besides the number of tickets that were sold before hand, so that the meet- ing has proved a thorough success financially.
