The CestriaDs won the tOBII, and naturally elected to play with the wind at their backs. It was noticed that the Vies had adopted the wise plan of pi,tying four half-backs and four forwards in this I half. E, Jone? being ou the right wing by himself ?n i HiiliugtOD ftHiD? half back. Mathiaa w&a earl? cai!(,d úpoa to c1u.r hie goal, and the Vica' defenders hud an exceedingly busy time. The home forwards were, hGwev6r, driTen back, bnt were soon thronging I roumi the Vica' goal again, and Mathias in making a •apiul save was psnalised for carrying the ball. The fret kick availed the home team nothing, as Mathias via- applauded for a magnificent sare. The visiting left made a great efort to get away, but the" ind greatly aisisied the homesters, and the ball was returned down the field, the visiting defence being again tesied for some time, but the railway men could not get through. Five minutes before half time W. Davies, for the Vies, passed the ball out to E. Jones, who tricked the back, and made a dash for the Chester goal, causing the goalkeeper (who had come down the field to help hits aide to score) to beat a hao! retreat. Jones shot splendidly, the ball sinking the cross-bar, and rebounding into play, where F. Williamn secured and placed a beautiful goal. Half-time arrired with the Vice leading by c,legoal to none. Playing with the wind in the second portion, the visitors monopolised the play, I.er great pressure a second goal was obtained from a corner. Although playing on the Locos' ground the Vies had many supporters anion* tb. crowd, and they were frequently applauded for fine wcrk. Ther pressed nearly all through the half, and Mftthi&i did not hue to tonch tha ball in this portion, all tho rest of the playera having shots at the Cheater goal, but although many were well direc;ed,no further scoring took place, Coppack, the home govlkeeper, playing very well. The Vies had a large number of corners. Final-Wrexham Victoria, two goals Chester Locos, none. WKKXIIAM VICTORIA V. SANDVCEOFI.—Played at Wrexham on Saturday. The game opened even, both iderf exhibiting good play. Sandycroft put in seme flne vnrk, aDd hod hard lines, Mathias being early called upon. Play then veered round, and the Vies bad a looK in, but the visiting defence sent them tc) the right-al-out. Aiter Mathiaa had saved aeverai times, Sandycroft drew first blood—a very good goal. They did not hold the lead for long, as Billington raced away, and drew level with a high shot. The home right wing put in another good run directly after, and E. Jonea crossed the ball over to F. William", that player giving the Vica the lead. The visiters were by no means disheartened, and plaved up weil, bu: they could not add to their score. The home team were, however, more fortunate, as, after ^li-jhi. pressnre, they notched a third point. No fnrther scoring took place up to half-time, when the ics led by three goals to one. The second portion opened with pressing by the homesters, and the siting defence was kept busv. The home halves played well, and as a result E. Jones got away and centred, and F. Williams shot the fourth goal for hia side. A fifth point was obtained directly after. Play then became quiet, neither aide making any great xc-rtions. The visiting forwards at length got &Way, and they succeeded in scoring, but the point was disallowed for off-side. The Vies were, how ever, more successful, as, after a spell of pressure, the sixth and last goal fell to them. The game after this became very deadly, and when the referee's I whistle sounded for time," the score was-Victoria, six goals; Sandycroft, one goal. I
