ABERYSTWYTH v. PORTMADOC.
ABERYSTWYTH v. PORTMADOC. RE-PLAYED WELSH CUP TIE. For the third time, owing to a draw on two previous occasions, the Aberystwyth c.ub ap- pealed at Poitinadoc on Saturday to play the ciub theia The ground waa in a, very bad condition, pools erf water covering portions of it. The visitors elected to play with the wind, which at the time, was rather stiff. The gaaw hr.arted soon uiter two o'clock, in the presence erf iiundicds of s^^eet^tors. The visiters injxnediately pissed, and made some magniticeut shots. But the now celebrated goai-ktieper, Bob Jones (Glan'rafon), was sfUtti to tne occasion, and prevented the ball going into tiie net. A ciiaDge took place, and oil went the 'Portmadoc lor wards, ably supported by the hail-backs, towards the Aberystwyth goal. However, the deieaice of the ^.beiystwyth bucks could not be penetrat- ed. Afterwarda a run waa made for tne home goal, and from a throw-in a goal was secured JJ Abeiy.stwylIl The homesters took mat- ter, s more serious alter the luck-off, and far more tile was thrown into tiie game. At this juncture an uuiotrtuinato incident took place. the Aberystwyth left half was accidentally kicked in the leg, and hostilities were KUK- peitded whilat hrst aid was administered. The injured man (B«rson) was carried to the RtvLlloin, but soon returned and resumed play. The home team WCl:e intent upon doing good business. W. M. Jones (Portniadoc) sent tiie ball spinning towards the visitors' goal The custodian ra<n to xneet it, but missed his kick, and Medley Jones ruthed the ball into the goal aJmid fnintic cheers. Thus the players shook hands on equal terms. There was [ nothing very remarkable up to half-time, ex- cept the splasliing of the water and the duck- ing that some of the players got. On resum- iug it was quite evident that the Portmadoc players were in better form. Matters seemed to be now very much against tne visitors, and Bob Jones had nothing to do but to give an occasional yawn. The AIw.r- ystwrth goal was fiercely assailed, and the visitors' backs adopted tlie- unsportsmanlike t tctics of kicking out, which caused the spec- tators to groan and "boo." For a time, tii,iigh the leather was continually in the Abervstwyth quarter, nothing was SGored, the ground making it' veiy difficult to shwot. Mo.voley Jones got. the ball, and passed it to R. D. Roberts, who sent the leather into crryil. a feat that was followed by loud and continued applause. The ball was kept in the visitors' quarters, though Aberystwyth did their utmost to retrieve their lost ground. When the final whistle sounded the score stood—Portmadoo, 2 goals; Aberystwyth, 1 goal. Claude White was the Aberystwyth gonikeeper, and had it mI. been for his nimbi en ess the PoTtmadoc score would have been heavier. Each of the Portmadoc men played excellently. The Aberystwyth centre forward' did vrry good work. The half-backs pbved well in the firl't half, but during the seeomd b,,If the whole te.nrt apr<'are^l to col- Isinse. The referee was Mr Hibbot.

COMBINATION.
COMBINATION. BANGOR v. WREV1V\T. Considerable interest centred in the meet- ing of these teams at Bangor. on Saturday, there being a very large attendance of spec- tators. The home team wu_s without Dick Jones, who, owing to an injured foot, was nunble to play. The visitors played a repre- sertative eleven, which included J. Brookes, formerly a memtw of the Bangor Normal College' Fcotball Club. The Wrexham for- wards were the first to press, and quickly forced a corner from Arridge. This was cleared and the home lot rushed down the field in fine style, but a hitch occurred whtn the ball readied Dick Owen, whose pass to Jimmy Jones lacked aceui icy. the movement terminating in a gml kick, i he homesters a-Tain forged ahead, but were quickly repelled, ami Wrexlnni then made headway in the dii ection of the home goal. Careering down 'the field. Dick Hughe-; tried to trick Ned Edwards, who dispossessed him. At. this juncture the Wrexham forwards were very aggressive, but ~Nf<l Edwards and Sam. Roberta nullified several promising move- ments. At length ,Toti Owens shot in hard and low. but Ted: Owen, though quite unpre- pared. was equal to the emergency. He I rushed across the goalmouth and succeeded in sending the ball behind, the post.. Again the visiting forwards broke away, and gained a fruitless corner. At this stage the ire ot the crowd was raided because the referee awarded a foul to the Wiexham team., on the. ground that. Billy Lewis deliberately handled the ball. The kick was accurately placed, and a rush was made on hn Bangor goal, bin Dick Hughes, with the go'tl at his mercy, gei in a shot which went yards wide. The crowd became enthusiastic when Welch forged ahead, and pisged to Thomas, but the referee ruled, that this player was off-side. This ruling was wa-rnlv resented! by the spectators, who dur- ing the rest of the game ironically shouted, "Off-side," "Pass to the referee." and "Show your colours." The Wrexham forwards again attempted to score, and fully extended the opposing ha if-backs. A clearance by Billy Lewis put Jimmy Jones in possession, but ht passed back, and Lewis from long range sent in a terrific shot, which nearly went through. The movements of the home for- wards were warmly checrod, for theWrexh;i,m. goalkeeper had to negotiate several excellent shots. Once he was in the centre of a crowd of plavers and' managed to list- the ball clear. After *a. period of give-and-take play, the Wrexham men made a determined rush, and Joe Owens, taking deliberate aim, defeated Ted Owen. t The game had scarcely been re- comme-nced before tiro Wrexham piayers hove-, > d near the Bangor pa-I tho right wing exhibiting clever eo^bhied work. Jack Ar- ridge however, maxle a lengthy clearance, which wa" rammed with equal force, Jack Bn»'>kes, with osly the cusiodian to uefeat, sending wide. Hall-time: Wrexham. 1 goal; Bangor, nil. The homesters were trt- first to attack in the second half, and witi, one of their characteristic rushes, u, home forwards swooped down upon the v\ lexham custodian, but unfortunately the ha,ll was rushed over the touch line. The home for- wards cow made their presence felt, and utilised the lengthy clearances of the half- backs. to rush the "VVrexiianr goalkeeper. On one occcidion the ball was forced through u- crowd of players to within a few yards ot the goal, but Welch completely mi.ss-ed his kick, and a splendid opportunity w;us lost- Dick Hughes essayed an individual run and made kis way between the backs. He taen sent forward, and Ted Owen left his charge to clear, but, unfortunately for the home TSiun, both plaj-ers met thc ball at the same time, and it travelled into an open goal. With the excention of a feeble breakaway by the home) forwards the Wrexham men monopolised the rest, of the play, and Dick Hughvs, who was not sufficiently watched, scored the thLrd goj!. and Joe Ow-.ns the fourth from the corner post. Finn! result: Wrexham, 4 goals; Bangor, nil.

HOLYHEAD v. CARNARVON.
HOLYHEAD v. CARNARVON. This match was played on the ground of the former club in wretched weather. The game created a great deal o interest, as the visitors held an unbeaten, record. The home team won the toss, and started the game amid great excitement with five men. It is very dishearteniog to see Holyhead in every match short of players, and very oft-en the hist on the fieid. Until the arrival of sub- stitutes the home team cleverly held the visitors at bay. On the arrival of five players more tliey made tracks for the visitors' goal, and from" a centre by Pritchard, the centre- forward (Smith) scared. From the centre the visitors onnte headway, but Joe Bogue relieved. The game. wm now cont Inualiy in tiie visitors' half, and Oonlan. after cleverly tricking several opponents, took deliberate aim and scored, Afterwajrdii Caanaivon gave the home defence great trouble.

The homesters pressed in turn, and trom a foul Tinper headed into the net, but ferr some: lea.son the goal was dis- allowed. After a huge kick by the burly Fred, the visitors pressed and scored with a. fast shot. Half-time: Holyhead, 2 goals; Carnarvon, 1 goaJ. In the second half the visitors pressed continually, but were cleverly kept back by Conlan, Bogue, and Edwards. Final result: Holyhead, 2 goals; Carnarvon, 1 goal.

FOOTBALL NOTES.
FOOTBALL NOTES. Wrt-jdiam ut terly dh-'Comfited B r rigor on Saturday in a Combination nxture, but the defeat, admits of more than one explanation. In the first place, the. Bangor team operated without the services of its usual pivot., in the person of R. Jones, and his aWenee was quickly and painfully apparent, for the home forwards found "it" practically impossible to forge ahead. The few promising movements which they indulgr-rl: in fizzled out into misses bv the inside men, and in. the second half the exhibition they gave greatly disappointed the large crowd which Lad assembled. The opening stages, though Wrexham displayed slightly superior tactics, gave no indica-tion that the margin at the close would be so wide, fos the home attacking forcet went away in promising style, but feeble, in the extreaie, were their effort? in front of the visiting custodian, who was not seriously troubled throughout the match. The first move in the second half wa.<; riade by the home team, and it appeared as though the spectators were aberat to be treated to the.se ru-slK^ for which the forward line is noted. One desperate, though unsuccessful rush was macie, but frem that point to the termination of tie gsutne the team was com^N-tely o^rtciassed. it was obviotts to all that the home pkyers

Steufors and Eendricksson were Russian Fins. and could speak but verv little English.— Seeing Mr Charles Smith in court, Mr ded- WVTI Owen (clerk) called him forward, believ- ing he could interpret the evidence. Mr Smith came forward and took the oath.

The men signed articles on December 17th.—Cbptain Hughes produced the articles, and gave evidence as to the prisoners refus- ing to work.—Captain Evans The owners' instructions are that the men must proceed with the ship.

But when he was questioned by the Clerk as to the other pomts. he could not understand.—The Bench retired, and upon returning into court they raid that they had no power to send the men back to the ship. —Each was sent to prison for one calendar month, with hard labanr.- The ship sailed from Liverpool about three weeks ago, and through stress of weather had twice to put bsuji into St. Tudwal's Roadsteads for shelter.

National Museum for Wales. The Corporation of Cardiff has deeded to issue the following circular letter to the county, municipal, and urban authorities in Wales: — Town Hall, Cardiff, January, 1902. Dear Sir,—A very strong feeling exists at Cardiff and throughout Wales that a grant should be made by the Government towards the establishment and mainten- ance of a Welsh National Museum, similar to those in Scotland and in Ireland, and the matter has recently been under the con- sideration of the Cardiff Corporation, who have unanimously resolved that a memorial be presented to the Lord President of th. Council praying that a grant be made to Wales. It was also decided that the county, municipal, and urban district councils, as well as the Councils of the three constitu- ent Colleges of the University of Wales, be asked to support the memorial, and I am desireel to request you to be kind enough to place this letter before, your Council, and to inquire whether it will be pleased to co-operate with Cardiff in its effort to secure for Wales, in the direotion indicated, that recognition which it. most certainly deserves. I have the pleasure to enclose herewith two copies of a suggested form of memorial for adoption. I shall be much obliged if, when' your Council has adopted the memorial or any modification thereof, you will kindly for- ward the original to me, in order that the whole of the memorials may be presented at one and the same time. — I am, yours ftiithfully, J.

According to the report of the Finance Committee the orders on the trwsurei du!r):¡ag the past month, amounted to £ 20(5 16s lOd, and the amount of the general dis- trict ra-te) 111 arrear Was £ 38(1 100 lOd, there being due to the treasurer the sum of £ 251 9s 3d before the cheques were pafcd. By the treasure-r s botok it appeared during Decern ber lie had received 176 ôs 2d.-The Chair- man thought that the Council should open a pp vrvte account in the bank, because at present the financial statement was rather misleading. Though oorrectin one sense, the report was very iaaocurate in another The Council, they should remember, had paid f250 and about LIUU, and had mud^ other payments in respect of the bill, and they certainly should have a private ac- cc(unt. It would be necessary for a few oi the councillors to become guarantors, and he' was willing to join any of theim. After the loan had been obtained, they wou'e1 at o«ce liquidate this account in the batik. —Mr .Thomas Roberts suggested the ap- pointment of a commi ttee to deal with tire subject, and upon his proposal the fohowing constituted the committee -The chairman, vice-chairman (Ylr Cadwaladr Domes), Mr R.

Incidentally it was state 1 that the bay window of the proposed new house projected eighteen inches into the raad.—Mr George Hand explained that the encroachment wa- vary slight, being in fact hardly pereeptible owing w the peouliar character of the road.

He was bound by Mr Davics' re- tainer, and whilst tlianking the Council it wc»uld be, of course, impossible for him to act for them in the promotion of the bill, which they could take for granted would be opposed.—Mr Huw Rowland, Town Uleik of Baiigpr, wrote iedging the receipt of the Co".r.oTf> instructions regarding the promotion of the bill.—Ou the fsAme subject a communication wa.s read from tiie Par- liamentary agents to the Councils, wi-I) stated that they would be unable to tea uutil after the meeting of Parliament whether the bill to Le promoted by tlic Ccfunc 1 womld commence in the How-P I.crds or in the House of Commons.

Churches, David Jenkins ex- pressed the wish that more anthems were sung 'h the course of the services in Welsh Nonconformist places of worship. At pre- sent they were not heard in one out of every fifty chapels on Sunday It was a. serious fact, with all the pride that they took in their sdnging and their voices, and after all the energy and enthusiasm that were spent upon music in Wales. There seemed to be a lack of enterprise amongst the officeijs of the churches, who ought- to press forward in the matter, and ask why it was there were not more anthems in the sea-vices.

Newbridge Overcrowded. STEPS TO RELIEVE THE DIFFICULT?. The steps recently taken by the Abercafn District Council to relieve, the overcrowding at Newbrridge, by the erection of a large number of workmen's housos, seem likely to solve a vexed question fort some time at least. The plans prepared show that the ileuses will be roomy and well appointed in eve-ry respect, in fact, quitJa model. It was while in this typical mining town that a re- pres-entative of the "South WTales Argus" made a remarkable 'discovery. In order to ascertain the facts about a younfr woman who had a narrow escape from death, he proceeded to No. 1.5, Pennar obtræt, New- bridge. The house is occupied by Mr James Jenkms, haulier at the Celyner Collieries, which are quite close to the village. There he saw Mrs Ada Jenkins and her daughter, EIl2''UX'th Jeckirs, a iaa! yu °^nS yovrng ladv, who was pre- sent when her mother volunteered an ex- traordinary statement. ~^lth+°U! fiVrSeT pr('fac?> may be inter- -tii g to tell Mrs dentin's wonderful story in her own words. 'About four yean; ago, she sard, my daughter Mary had a serious 1 in ass. She was suffering from pleurisy and other complications. She got some- what better, but was never really well and r. rong the dregs of th»e complaint remain- :n% r she became very ill again, and I took her to throe local doctors, all of whom "said she was suffering from St. Vitus' dance. They gav-e her medicine, but it- d«i not apparently do her any good, for she gradually got worse. She was a dress- mr.Rer, and the doctors ordered her to eiv& iip work, and advised that she should be sent to the seaside for a rest and change. c nie that she must have plenty o ™ «nd take frequent out-door ex- of fresh arr «nd take frequent out-door ex- ercise. She went away from home for seven weeks, but returned without- showing any improvement. She w*s so weak and s-iaky that she could not hold anything in her hands, and every morning for weeks I had to dress her. She could not Ukf scarcely any food, and when she went out far a walk she would fall down from shsef wealul(- She also suffeTed from. nervous- 1' i gave up all hope of her recovery, 80 Iow"sPirit^ and do- press^l that more than ouoe alW said she wished she were dead.

FOOTBALL NOTES.
were very annoyed with the. decisions of the releree, Air H'.ggiiiixm, and in the concluding stages of the giune practical.y no resistance was offeaed to the Wrexliam for-wards nor was there any attempt made to score. There were very weak spots in the Bangor team, and probably the most conspicuous was the right wiug. Thomas was completely off colour, and was repeatedly dispossessed. Welch possesses ample dash, but he spoilt miuiy a nice opening through bad judginent and hastiness. T. Thomas ocerasionajly favoured the spectators with some clever foot work, but, cn the whole, "ire give an in- different exhibition. The It-it wing was fax superior to the right wing, and had they received equal attention goals might have accrued. It would be of considerable advan- tage to the r>am if Dick Owen learnt to pass with seme degree of accuracy. The half-backs gave a very ineffective display, wretched shooting and faulty tackling being predominant. Particularly feeble was W. Ed- wards, who had more than he could manage in the speedy Wrexham winger Dick Hughes. Sam. Roberts invariably passed to an op- ponent, but W. Ijtfwis gave a slightly superior exhibition than was displayed bv his two col- leagues. Evep J. Arridge and E. Edwards were occasionally at fault, though they made desperate efforts to stave off elefe-at. To the custodian, Ted Ow-n. ro blame can.be at' tached for allowin j four shots to pass him, and ho succeeded in keeping out others which deserved to find the net. The Bangor Wednesday Druids bad an un- fortunate experience on Ne* Year's Day. The team journeyed to Holylret:ul to fulfil a fixture with the 10<] eleven, the prftliminary arrangements having been made with the secretary of the Holyhead tenm a few weeks before. On arrival at Holyhead- the members of the Druids' team were consider ably as- tonished at finding the town, liberally placard- ed with bills announcing a match between Holyhead and the Rangers to take place on New Year's Day. It dawned upon them that a mistake had been made, and tracks were made for the officials of the Holyhead team. I They decided to ehange and take their places on the playing field. Soon after they arrived on the field the Holyhead and llangers teams appeared, three teams then occupying the field. In deference to the wishes of the .Holy- head committee most of the members of the Druids team withdrew, the rest participating in the encounter between the local eleven and the Rangers. The Bangor Rangers did well to again de- feat the Beaumaris team. 011 their own terri- j tory. The gau»i was hotly contested, a*id tli- eFult is a fair reflect of the genera run ot i the plav. The local team gained their second g<*il by means of a penalty kick.
