IMPORTANT SPECIAL MEETING OF THE NORTHERN WELSEl FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. After the mateh at Bangor, last jlurday, a 2pecial meeting of the committee cl this agsocia- 'an, called to consider the protest of the Car- I narvon Athletic Club against the decision of the previous meeting ordering the tie with Bangor to be re-played, was held 0 at tha Station Hotel There were present representatives from the fol. lowing clubs :-Portmaioc (Mr R. LI. Evans), Carnarvon Athletic (Mr F. 4L. Evans, solicitor), Bangor F. 0. (Mr J. Smith), Beaumaris (Mr O'CoMOt), Bangor Athletic (Mr A. Davies), Conway (Mr T. B. Farrington), Llandudno (Mr Hcrsee), Rhyl (Sir Bell), Flint (Mr Robots), Denbigh (Mr D. Williams), and Carnarvon Colta (Mr Morgan). There were also present several members of the various clubs. Mr J. Smith pro. posed, and Mr Hereee seconded, that Mr Farring- ton take the chair. Mr Morgan objected, and proposed that Mr Bell should tike the chair. Air F. A. Evans seconded. After a heated dis. cussioa the amendment was put to the meeting and lost, 5 voting for it and 6 against it. Oa Mr Fartington taking the chair, Mr Morgan rose to protest against his qualification, but Mr Fairing- to a, as chairman, ruled him out of order, and called on Mr Watkios to read the minutes. Mr Farrington then asked if it was the opinion of the meeting that the minutes should be signed. Mr F. A. Evans anJ Mr Morgan both objected to this, as they contended that by authorizing the chaLman to sign those minutes, the meeting would be confirming the proceedings of the last meeting, the validity of which was being con. tested. Mr Farriugtofii poiated out that such was not the case, the point being whether the meeting considered thise m nutss as read by Mr Watkius to be a correct report of what took place at the last meeting or not, and that if the meeting gave him authority to sign them it would not in any way prejudice any other discussion as to the validity of the previous meeting. Mr Evans said that on that understanding he would withdraw bis objection. The minutes were than signed. Mr Evans then proposed that the miuutes of the last meeting be not confirmed. Mr Morgan seconded, 'and said that he did not see how the association could continue to exist unlejs the rules were upheld, and called attention to rules 3, 4, and 5, and contended that if the third rule were ignored, then any clab-even from the South of England—could be brought in, and its representative could take a part in the proceedings of the association, whether it had paid its en. trance fee or not. Mr Smith thought it wa3 very etrange that this objection should have been raised just a*; this time, and held that the offence, if offeuce it wap, had been condoned long since, as it was perfectly well known that the Conway club had not paid its subscription for the last two years, but till now not a word had been said about it. Mr Evans said that as it formed the subject of th;3 meeting, he did not see that it was any answer to the charge to say that it had b-?eu con- doned in the past, and if the present meeting decided that Mr Farrington had no right to at. tend the last or any meeting of the association during such time as his club's subscription was unpaid, then no matter what the ulterior conse- quences might be—the Carnarvon people htd a perfect right to claim admission into the final round. He drew attention to the third rule, and said that a club that had never j ined, but in- tended to do so, could, if that plain rule were set aside, equally well claim to have a vote at any meeting of the association as Conway club. It had been said that Mr Farrington had not voted at the last meeting; but even if he had not, he had been placed in a most important position as chairman of that meeting, a position which he (Mr Evans) contended Mr Farrington had no right whatever to fill, and the whole of the reso. lutiocs passed at that meeting were consequently null and void, and whether the fact of this view of the case being adopted invalidated the results of the whole season or not, it should., if the meet- ing did adopt it, be maintained. He apologized for the nature of the objection, but held that it was quite good, a much better one, in fact, than that of Bangor against Carnarvou, which was-if ever any objection was—a purely technical one, and he asked the meeting to form its decision upon a honest and unbiassed construction of plain rules, and moved that the proceedings of the last meeting be not confirmed. Mr O'Connor aeked if the Oonway team, or any other team, could ba. come a member of the association without paying its fee. Mr Watkias said he thought so. Mr O'Connor asked if the sacretary regarded the Conway team as a member of the association, not- withstanding the fact that it had not paid its subscriptions. The secretary said he did. Mr Smith proposed that the minutes be confirmed. Mr Morgan, in eupporting Mr Evans's motion, could not understand how the secretary could say that he considered the Oonway team a member of the association, whether it bad paid the entrance fee or cot. The thing was ridiculous on the face I of it, and he thought that if the secretary could overrule one rule he could overrule all of them, and he atked the meeting not to be iuflueEced by the decisions of some obscure hole and corner meeting, but to act fairly and above board in the matter. Mr Hersee thought that if the dec sicns of the last meeting were upset, all of them should be upset. Mr Williams, of Denbigh, seconded the confirmation of the minutes. After some re- marks f forn the chairman to the effect that Conway was simply in the p ;sition of a club in arrears, and that there was no penal clause in the rules whereby any team that had not paid its subscrip- tions could be punished, the amendment was put t- tha meeting and carried by 6 to 5—Conway, fottmadoc, Denbigh. Bangor Athletic, Llan- dudno. and Bangor F. 0. voting in favour of it. The minutes of the last meeting were therefore confirmed. The protest of the Carnarvon Athletic Club against the validity of :the last meeting was then read, together with a letter from the Bangor F. 0., stating that they had gone to Vaynol Perk a a ordered by the laet committee, and kicked a goal, and therefore claimed the match. The i-hairmac thought that practically the business of tbe meeting had been disposed of by the previous rrpolutions, but Mr Bell contended that all that had been done was to confirm the minutes of the previous meeting, and the chairman agreed that that was the case, and Mr Evana then said that the question now was as to the right of tbl: last meeting to do certain things, and he contended that the minutes of the last meeting should have been confirmed, if confirmed at all, before they were acted upon. Mr Smith proposed that Mr Evans'3 suggestion be not enterfcaiuad. Mr Mor- gan supported Mr Evans, and asked the seeze. tiry it rule 8 had ever been rescinded or modified, at d contended that the plain rules of the 8880. ciation had been flagrantly cet aside without authority, and said that though he dared say the voting would go against him, he should etill ask thii meeting to consider the question in a fair and impartial manner. Mr Evans's motion wss then put to the meeting aud lost by 6 to 5. The meeting was then adj Inrned to another room, and the secretary was authorized to arrango matches for the next season with Liverpool and District, Cheshire, Wales, and Ireland. The expenses in. nurred in the Vaynol fiasco were ordered to be pud out of the funds of the association. The secretary was also authorized to write t'1 the Den- b'Vh te?m asking them to p'ay the final tie fit Vaynol Park next Saturday. This conclude 1 the business. &

FOOTBALL NOTES. FOOTBALL NOTES. After attending last Saturday's ma ting, I de- rided to print this week the "Notjs" written f r •ast week. My readers will see their Learicg aft;r reading them. I am glad now I did'nt publish, I them last week, or elge it inighi h~ve teen eup- posed that what was said at the meeting had been I taken from these notes, as in many cases almost I txictly similar sentences and sentiments were ex- pressed. Here they are. I must begin by explaining an apparent inconsistency in my notes of last week iu r eference to the Rhyl protest against Denbigh. Many of my readers will. no doubt, have noticed that in one paragraph I said I thought the Rhyl pro. test ought to have been sustained, whilst in anothe- almost immediately following, I justified the foe. r-lon of the committee. It locks rather bad for a fellow to make two diametrically opposite etafco- ments of this kind; aad unless thG mcond'stency is explained clearly and fully, other fellows would be qu te right in regarding the writer of two para- graphs of that kind as one not to be depended on. I will, therefore, explain how the thing came about. I wrote the first paragraph imme- diately after getting home from the meeting, and wa3 proceeding to write the next when I was called out to attend to something else. On my ri turn, as )t was late, I put all I had written on one side, intending to coutinue it in the morning, but I could not manage it, and in the afternoon I sent what I had already written to press. In the meantims, I lookad up the rules of the associa. tion bearing on tho point, and my shorthand notes of the arguments used on either side at the meet- ing, and was compelled to admit the justice of the decision arrived at. I at once sat down and wrote the second paragraph, which, of course, contra- dicted my previous one, intending to throw cut the first when it came before me in proof. Being very much pressed, however, with other matters, I forgot to do so, and thus two mutually contradic- torI statements got into the paper. I trust this explanation ia both clear and satisfactory. I may add, I will nevsr do it again, if I can help it. We are none of us perfect, are we, J. S. ? • A curious scene was enacted at Vaynol Paik last Saturday. At about three o'clock the two secre- taries of the Carnarvon Athletic F. C. turned up and took possession of the ground. After waiting for about halC-an-hour, the Bangor team turned up in full force, accompanied by Mr D'Oyly Watiiins, secretary of the association, and Me Hughes, their own secretary. Mr Watkins im- mediately proceeded to measure off a goal line of proper length, and in the proper place a couple of goal posts, which the party had brought with them were erected, and the team stripped for action, and took up their positions in the held. A whistle was blown, and J. Smith, the captain, kicked-off, passing the ball to Robert Williams, on his right, and the whole team moving forward to- wards the undefended goal, a combined asaault was made, the ball very t early going behind, but Smith got hold, and with an easy shot put it safely through, amid cheers. Alwyn Carter then made a formal protest on behalf of his club, and the two Carnarvon men went away. A little bit of free play with the leather then took place between the members of the Bangor F. 0., after which the team silently departed for a tramp home. « It was, however, what a masher would call a beastly shame, don't you know," that the game was Dot played. The weather might have been made for the p jrpose, so perfect was it, and JE20 was the lowest sum named as likely to be taken at the gate. Of course, no one will deny the right of the Carnarvon Athletics to act as thsy did, but I think they acted most unwisely. They could not possibly have been in a worse position after the game than before it, because they could have played under protest, and if they had lost they could have proceeded with their protest, which is the most they can do now. < Yes, they can most'eertaiuly proceed with their protest now, but with what 'prospect of success ? Every club in the essociation will. be, to put it mildly, apsoyed that a chance of securing, say JE20, for the funds of the association should have been thrown away, and feeling has a good deal to do with the decisions arrived at in questions of this kind. Still I must give it as my opinion that the Athletics have done nothing that is not quite within their right. All they have dene is to blunder. I think it was Talleyrand who once said that a blunder is worse than a crime. Some people may think so of this blunder. < If, instead of acting as they have done, the Athletics had gone to Vaynol, played the game, and so got a good gate, then, whether they had lost or won, the sympathies of all the other clubs would have been with them, and their protest would have had a good chance of being sustained. The prospect opened up by the protest urged by the Athletics is one of the most complicated I ever contemplated. Let us suppose for a moment that the committee, whiqh meets next Saturday, up- holds the protest made by the Carnarvon men against the validity of the decisions of the com- mittee held i at Carnarvon on the 25th. It will follow that all the decisions arrived at by the previous committees, at least of those at which the member for Conway attended. or presided, will be invalid. What a protest! Every cup tie of the last two years, I suppose, could be demanded to be played over again, or at least from the commencement of the informality which it is claimed has made the last one of no authority. And but for the vast trouble of it, it would not be a bad thing for the association to have each club enter a protest, and claim t) have every tie replayed. The resulting gates would be something enormous, and the association would have received a lesson as to the value of sticking to its rules, the benefit of which would be felt as long as it continued to exist as an association. It is certainly an ill wind that blows nobody good. There is sure to be a good gate next Saturday at Bangor on the occasion of the match between the association team and the Liverpool and District, to make up for the loss sustained last Saturday, and the meeting to be held at the conclusion of the match will be one of the most important ever Beld. Mr Watkins, the secretary, has done all a man could do in the fix ieto which the association has got; and it is to be hoped that his difficulties will be lessened at the next meeting instead of being increased. F. A. Evans, E q., solicitor, Carnarvon, will appear for the;Athletics,and I hope that the case will be decided fairly upon its merits. • • As a way out of the ;difflcnlty, I would suggest that the committee condone the past informali- ties without discussion, with the exception of the one mentioned in the protest of the Car. naivon Athletic, which should ba discussed, on its merits; and in order to mark its sense of the valuable services rendered by its chairman in the past, let the committee, if It has power, elect him acting president, a position which would give him the right to sit and p'eeide over every meeting without compelling him to qualify every year by putting his hand into his pocket to pay the subscription of a club which is too poor to pay for itself. The association would be a > alaer by this arrangement, and it would not touch Major Platt's position in the least; at the same timi, it would secure to the association the ser. vices of an experienced, hard-working, and genial officer. co much for last wepk. I hive not room to say much this week, so I'll write short and plain I English, and have done with thd matter, and es the decision of tbe meeting of the association held last Saturday is, I fancy, the most engrossing sub- last Saturday is, I fancy, the most engrossing hub- ject in Our minds at presont, I'll cotsfiae mysnlf chiefly to that. Just a word or two about the I match, though, first of all. « The Liverpool team was entirely ineffective. The I members were not bad players by any moans, but they di.1 net combine 83 well as our men. They passed, but passed without any judgment, glviog the ball away continually. Arlow, who, I am told, I is a Welshman, was the bpst man among them. They were not seen off at the station, an omission which has been apologized for, arid was due to th fact of the meeting beiog held at the time, and rot j from any lack of courtesy. For the association every man played well. Humphrey Jones, I should j say,'being second best; Hersee taking premier honours. J. F. was in good form, and the two I Newtotia did very good work. Lewis and Vaughan on the left being the best of the forwards, thought Williams and Evans on the right got most goals between them. Williams is credited with four I 't goals, Roberts one, and R. Newton one. Wil- liams plays too much off si te. Crippsand Roberts were not so good as usual, Roberts being clearly unwell. Now then for what I've get t) say about the meeting and its results. I think, after what I've said in my last week's notes, I may fairly claim to be considered impartial in the matter. I desire to ba at any rate, and hope partiality will not be im- puted to me when I say that I think the decision of the committee was groggy* unfair, j end palpably against the weight of evidence. I admit that it is better that the committee should have agreed not to quash the la3t meeting, lest by so doin? they u«33t the whole of the previous meetings, I admit, in fact I have already said so, that the Car- narvon Omb did not act wiselv in refusing to play the match under protest at Vaynol. I admit that, in itself, the protest lodged by Bangor against Carnarvon was good ard sufficient, and I retract what I said about it last week but one, to the effect that it was a trifling one. It was not a triflng ob- jection, but on the contrary a very serious one. I willingly admit all this, and I still hold that the committee are_ entirely in the wroug in acting as they did. It is impossible to get over that flaw in the procedure, TUB PROTEST WAS NOT MADE ON THE FIBLD, and on thnt ground alone was invalid. It matters not that the Bangor men did not know of the change. THE PBOTEST WAS NOT MADE ON THE FIELD. It is of no consequence that they could not protest against something they did not know about, though it is very hird lines, THE PHOTE^T WAS NOT MADE ON THE FIELD, aud so long as that rule stands unrepealed and un- modified, the committee ought to have halted theer and submitted to it. By riding roughshod over t, the committee took the first wrong step and a second has followed. J I But what rule of calm ''common sense," which the chairman so frequently appealed to, can the fact of Conway not having paid its fee be over- looked or ignored in dealing with the protest against the legiliity of the previous meeting ? Mr Farrington declared that there was not in the rules of the Northern Welsh a penal clause (as there is in the Lancashire Association) attached to the rule enforcing payment of subscription. There is not, and as Mr Farrington said, it was an unfoitunate omission. But this argument is a two-edged sword] cutting both ways. There is no penal clause in the one case. Well, there is no saving clause in the other. Is has been urged in favour of the Bangor protest that though tha lules say that the protest must be made on the ground, and before the teams leave the grouud, there onpht to be another rule to the effect that if cause for protest is discovered after leaving the ground, a protest may be made. I thiuk there ought, but then there isn't, and the committee which upheld the protest had no power to make, as, practically, it did make, an addition to the'existiug rules to the above effect. But if they do make alterations, why not make them in one case as well as in an. other? There ought to be a ponal clause to punish clubs that do not pay their 'subscriptions. Then why not have made one at last Saturday's meeting, and applied it? It wculd have been bard, but no harder than the case of Carnarvon. Practically, in the case of the Bangor protest, a new rule was made, giving a club power to enter a protest after leaving the ground, and this new rule was applied against Carnarvon As Mr Mor- gan said at the meeting last Saturday, If one rule may thus be set aside, every rule mty," and if so, what is the use of having any vules ? The general feeling is that the rules ought to be re- vised, but till they are revised, by a committee constructed for the .purpose, they ought tj operate and be obeyed. • Bat after all the thing -is done now, and I sup- pose done for good, aud the ouly way is to make the best of it and let bygones be bygones, and hope for better luck next time. • • I understand that Denbigh intend to play five Ruthin men next Saturday at Va nol (or) Rhyl, among them being Mr W. P. Owen, the Interna- tional, who, it is not too much to tay, is famous. The Bangor men have been practisiug assiduously almost every day for the last three weeks, but it will take them all their time to stiok to the cup, as Denbigh have been doing ditto.' I will wire the result to the usual p'ac s, aud to Portaiadoe. Come in your thousands, and make a good gato. On Saturday the Rhyl team meets (I had almost written beats) Ashton Villa, at Rhyl. On Monday I BaLgor will have a go at the Villans, at Bangor, and, on Tuesday will try conclusion with the Birmingham men at Pant. Can't Denbigh ar- range a match with the same team at Denbigh ? It is not too late. After the abov i mate es, the season will be about ever, and then hey for cricket. The badges in connection with the Carnarvon Charity Cup Competition will be d stributei at the conclusion of the final tie, which will be played at Pant next Monday, by the Mayoress of Carnarvon Mrs Williams. I trust she will have no reason to regret her kindness in so doing by a repetition, of Boxing Day scenes. Ex AVANT.

THE WELSH CALVINISTIC M ETHODISTS. -Tho Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Assembly opened its South Wales aynodical meetings at Tredegar, on Tuesday afternoon, under the presidency of Principal Edwards, of Aberystwyth College. There was a very large attendance ot representa- tives. The executive resolved to forward an address of condolence to the Queen and Duchess of Albany on the death of Prince Leopold, and to momfriarsethe fo? continvauce oC the grant to Aberystwyth College. It was also decided to depute the Revs D. Edwards, New- port; and D. Saunders, Swansea, and Mr D. Lewis, solicitor, Dowlais, to (jive evidence before the select committee on the Charitable Trusts Act. It was resolved to invite the General Assembly to told next year's meetings at Aberdire. An animated discussion took place on Sunday closing of pavlic. houses. It was resolved to ascertain from each county delegate how toe act had operated and it it was proved that the effect hai beea satisfactory, to record the fact on the association minute?. The Rsva D. Edwards, New- port; J. Pugh, Pont-y-pridd; Morria Morgan, •fewansea, and. others argued that opponents of Sunday Closing wilfully and wholly misconstrued the tenour of the act, which, on the whole, had fceca of .incalculable service to Wales. It had filled the Welsh chapel?, and given a more moral tone to 11 tional sentiment, and it would be well if lona Me travellers and drinking clubs could be put down with unfaltering firmness. It was eventually resolved to appoint a committee to formulate a course of procedure for the association, and to elect a permanent temperance committee. PHMtMnaMMNMBM
