FOOTBALL. r NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. I BANGOR v. LLANDUDNO. I Favoured with ideal weather, this import- taut match was played at Bangor on Satur- day. In the home team, Rowlands, of the Normal College, played at half-back. The teams -.vere — Llandudno. Hotohkiss, goal; C. Roberts and Luut, backs: J. W. Williams, George Davies. and W. Hughes, half-backs; J. Wil- liams, D. Criffitli, Alderson, Welch, and Owens, forwards. Bangor: W. Jones, goal; W. Evans and Pierce, backs, D. Williams, Rowlands, and W. Jones, half-backs; R. T. Evans, Burns, Eardiey. Davies, and Joe Williams, for- wards. Referee. Sergea.:t Hum. After a slow opening, Davies got going for Bangor. and swung in ail excellent centre, which Eardiey mulled close in. Davies again came into prominence, but was badly foul-d, although the referee thought other- wise. The Llandudno centre forward, J. Williams, ran tl:e length of the Bangor half, and though unhampered, he finished by send- ing very wide of the mark. The Llandudno forwards suddenly rushed away, and the out- side right kicked ahead. The ball reached Evans, who sent it to the custodian to clear. So slow did he accomplish the task that D. Grilith all but wrested the ball from him. They renewed the attac-k, and Welch cul- minated a pretty passing' movement by net- ting the ball The visitors were all over the homesters, and a second point nearly came a minute or two later, W-Ich swinging across a splendid shot. A foul against Burns close in caused some anxiety to the Bangor de- fenders. and a mistake by Robeits nearly re- sulted in a goal. In fact, the visitors were having by far the best of the game, and their forwards were very troublesome. At J length, C. Burns roused some enthusiasm by sending in a dri/e from long rnnge, the Llandudno custodian saving splendidly at the expense of a corner. But this proved only a flash in the pan, and the Bangor goal experienced several miraculous escapes, but Welch managed to capture it after a pie^e of splendid individual work. Instead of im- proving, the homesters fell off as the game proceeded, and two minutes later D. Grif- fith scored the third point, the referee ignor- ing appeals for offside. After this reverse Bangor ran down, and Eardiey sent in a stinger, which Hotchkiss cleverly saved. The next item of interest was a run by the five visiting forwards, who left the Bangor de fence far behind them, but the centre for- ward was robbed by the custodian. For a while fhe Bangorians pressed, and Hotch- kiss effected several clever saves, and one or two lucky ones. Half-time: Llandudno, 3 goals: Bangor. nil. On re-starting, both teams displayed great vigour, and after some irritating finessing, Burns scored from Rowlands's pass. In response to cries of Play up. Bangor." Mie homesters began to show something like their true form, and gained a corner. After this had been taken, the visitors rushed away, comph-toly nonplussed the Bangor de- fenders, who were h-ing well up. and J. E. r Williams scored, having nobody to conteirl with but the custodian. Except thatWo'sh had no part in it, the same incident occurred directly the gam-3 was resumed, and J. E. Williams scored the fifth goal. A penalty was awarded against C-harlie Roberts for fouling Eardiey, and Burns converted. Final result: Llandudno, 5 goals; Bangor Reserve, 4. i• PORTMADOC v. BANGOR. At Portmadoc, on Saturday, in summer weather, but before a small gate. The match was of great importance to both teams, as its result would probably decide the champion- ship, which lay between Bangor and Port- madoc, Bangor sent ib full Combination team, but Portmadoc, with internecine dis- seniors, was weakened, Mosslev Jones being ill, Dick Hughes gone to Oxford, and J. R. Jones, one of the finest half-backs in the Principality and t!ie captain of the team, also an abs ntce. Three efficient substitutes were, however, provided. Winning the toss. Portmadoc played with the wind and sun ( behind them, and attacked, but Edwjrds. however, cleared them out near goal, and I pretty passing by Richie, Dick Owen, and Thomas carried them forward, but Mannel cleared, and c visit t'.o paid to the other j ei.d.

A visit was at once paid to )i.f- Bangor god, and a corner forced, but it was fruitless, and Bangor again attacked, Will Evans twice kicking clear from the goal-mouth. Bangor still pressed, and Evan I Davies yielded a corner to Owen. Quarter- time, Bangor 1, Portmadoc nil. Half-time: Bangor i, Portmadoc 1. Final: Bangor, 3 goals Portmadoc 1 goal.

;fc— FOOTBALL NOTES. Never have the Bangor Reserves made- such a poor show before their supporters as they did on Saturday, when they opposed Llandudno, who, after having mo".t of 'he game, won it by five goals to four. A wider I margin would have more correctly repre sented the run of the game, because Linn ■ dudbowara far and away the best team. Not by any stretch of imagination could the game be designated a great one; it was a stub- bornly-contested encounter, but rarely did I the standard of play reach a high level, though Llandudno were the more accom- plished side in this respect, and thereby fully deserved their victory. I In the early movements, the homesters j showed promising tactics, and Davies. who J does not often figure in the team, sent, across I a capital centre, which Eardiey, on the oppo site wing, missed. After Davies had made a similar attempt, quite a change came over the game, and the home defence was placed on the qui vive. Unfortunately, they proved unequal to the demands made upon them, and before long Welch had netted the ball. The Bangor goal was again subjected to a Revere pressure, and the custodian was extremely I fortunate in respect, of shots, which, had the direction been varied by a few inches, he would have had little chance in stopping. Hereabouts Burns got going, and fired a I shot which went whizzing over the Llan- dudno cross-bar, but though this piece of work evoked cried of 'Play up, Bangor," the plavers didn't resin (II!.

=- CARNARVON COUNTY ) SCHOOL. TEACHING OF WELSH. I IMPORTANT ACTION BY THE I GOVERNORS. A meeting of the Local Governing Body of the school was held on Friday. Mr J. Issard Davies, M.A. (chairman), presiding. There were also present Mrs Jones (Min- afon), the Revs Rhys J. Ifuws, J. E. Hughes. M.A., and Lewis Williams, Messrs W. *G. Thomas (Mayor of Carnar- von), G. R. Hughes. J. R. Pritehard, J. E. Williams, and W. H. Wright and Messrs Gaudin, M.A. (headmaster), and J. II. Thomas (clerk). HOLIDAYS. Mr J. R. Pritchard asked who had authority to declare a holiday" in the school. The school was recently closed for half a day on the occasion of a football match at Bangor. The Headmaster: It has been the rule ever since I have been connected with the school to give the headmaster the right to declare two half-holidays in a term. This year we had none with the exception of the half-holiday referred to. That is the only explanation I can give. Mr Pritehard • The football match had nothing to do with it? The Headmaster replied that it had not. I BURSARIES. Application for bursaries from the follow- ing were granted :—Henry Williams, Car- narvon; M. M'Laughlin. Carnarvon; W. M.

R. Pritehard referred to the an nual report of the Central Welsh Board, which stated that in both history and geography the work was hampered by the lack of elementary knowledge the children ) showed on entrance, and he wished to know j ) whether an entrance examination was held, ) The report also stated that among the seii- "ior pupils there was weakness in spelling, handwriting, and composition. subjects which were considered the foundation of a child's education. The report as a whole was very satisfactory, but what he had re- ferred to were blemishes. The Headmaster said that, according to the scheme, those who had reached the Fifth Standard in the elementary school had a right to be admitted without examination. An insufficient knowledge of the English language was a difficulty they had to con- language was a difficulty they had to con- tend with continually, and the examiner judged the work from the ordinary standard reached by boys in schools in England. Generally speaking the English work had improved. The Chairman said that there were some children who could not be taught, to spell. The Rev J. E. Hughes thought it was a work of supererogation to call attention to handwriting. The Rev Rhys J. Huws said that penman- ship was deteriorating in the secondary schools. The Rev J. E. Hughes: Go to the.colleges and you will Had it worse still. The Chairman said that there was nothing that irritated an examiner more thun bad penmanship. TEACHING WELSH IN THE SCHOOL. The Headmaster reported that fifty-three nupils were being taught Welsh in the school, and of this- number thirteen would be presented for the junior examination of I the, Central Welsh Board. The'Chairman said that if Welsh was to be taught in the school it should be taught 'I' thoroughly by a competent master, and now was the time for the Governors to make the necessary arrangemeents. I Mr J. R. Pritehard pointed out that last year Welsh formed a subject of examination in all the Carnarvonshire schools except Carnarvon and Batigor. In the Llanberis school 11 pupils took the senior, and 13 the junior stage; in Llandudno one took the senior and one the junior stage; in Peny- groes 11 the senior itudrine the junior, >ij Portmadoc three the honours stage, seven the senior, and 11 the junior; in Pwllheli one the honours stage, two the senior, and 16 the junior; in Bottwuog two the senior I' and eight the junior; and in Bethesda two the senior and six the junior. He thought the Governors should now give the head- master every encouragement in bringing the Carnarvon school into line. Mr Pritehard read the following extracts from the general report of Professor J. Morris Jones, exa- miner in Welsh: "As Welsh in only be- ginning to be organised as a school subject any new departure in the school schedules represent an unknown quantity to teachers and pupils; and in this case an exaggerated idea may well have been formed of the new demands made. The frequent oc- currence of the same mibtakes in the trans- lations both from Welsh into English and from English into Welsh point to the de- I sirability of more use being made of trans- lation in the training of Welsh pupils. It is only by the constant comparison afforded by translation that an accurate knowledge of either language can be acquired by a Welsh-speaking child. There is some reason to hope that the edu- cational value of Welsh is beginning to be better understood and that its admission into all the schools in these districts in only a matter of time." The Rev Rhys J. Huws suggested the appointment of a visiting teacher for Welsh. There were in Carnarvon fotir or five really good Welsh scholars, and he thought they might engage one of them to teach the lan- guage. If they could have Welsh taught in the school in the way that French was taught it would be to the advantage of the school. The Chairman said that to have Welsh taught by a visiting teacher would be a waste of money. They must appoint a man who would be always in the school. There were several young Welshmen who had taken their degrees, and any one of those would be quite competent to teach the lan- guage as far as the requirements of the school went. If they could have a gentle- man who had taken his degree in Welsh perhaps they could dispense with the ser- vices of one of the present masters. The Rev R. J. Huws said that he would not care to dismiss a master if he did his work well. The Headmaster, upon being asked to ex- I press his opinion, said that the curriculum was unsatisfactory, and the Inspector of the Board of Education shared this view. The fact was that they were trying to do too much. For instance, a boy in Form III. was taught four languages, including Welsh, whereas in the elementary school he was taught no language but English. It seemed to him that they should make French and Welsh alternative, and teach either lan guage well. Those who did not care to take Welsh could take French, and those who did not care to take French could take Welsh. At present he was not satisfied with either. The very best was being done under the circumstances, but there was a danger of their annual report being made to suffer. Mr J. R. Pritchard failed to see the need of making French alternative with Welsh, and pointed out that this was done in some of the best schools in the county. Some pupils might wish to take both langurges. The Headmaster ^iid that inquiries ought to be made whether mathematics and science were done to the same extent in those schools as in the Carnarvon schoot The Mavor of Carnarvon (Mr W. G. Thomas) thought Welsh and French should go together, oecause a Welsh boy or girl would be able to learn French better through the medium of Welsh. Mr G. R. Hughes: No doubt, a child com- "i :.1' litbdfljaHi.er •' } as-fc yeai 1 in«i>icd I | upor :1. i^ents dadoing the a L wn., not sailed v.h Vila; ji, children said. J Mr J. R. Pritehard: I should like Mr J Gaudin not to put the two languages in s antagonism. ( The Rev T. E. Hughes: It is possible that there are pupils who ha\e no taste for there are pupils who haH- no taste for mathematics or science, but who would learn languages very quickly. The great difficulty in this school is the one pointed out by the Headmaster — namely, the diffi- culty of the currfculum, and we all sym- pathise with him very much. I The Headmaster said that there were in the school at present a science master, J a classical master, and a drawing master, and a gentleman had also been appointed to teach commercial subjects. If they ap- ¡ pointed a new master he would have to be a man who would combine Welsh with any of these subjects. The Mayor thought there would be 110 difficulty in appointing an additional master to teach Welsh. Mr J. R. Pritchard moved that an addi tional master capable of teaching Welsh be appointed at a salary not exceeding £ 150. Mr W. H. Wright asked whether the appointment was to be made notwithstand- ing the fact that the Headmaster could not alter the curriculum? The Rev J. E. Hughes said that he under- stood the Headmaster to say that he was dissatisfied with things as they were at pre- sent. The Headmaster said that the appoint- ment of an additional master would cer- tainly facilitate matters. Mr Pritchard's motion was seconded and adopted.

A HOLYHEAD WILL SUIT. I A DISPUTE BETWEEN RELATIVES. In the Probate Division of the High Court of Justice on Thursday, before Mr Justice Barnes, and a common jury. the. case of Prichard v. Hughes was heard. The suit had reference to the testamentary dis- positions of the late Mr Hugh Griffith I Hughes, a retired chemist and druggist, who hud li\ed in Market street, Holyhead, and died on the 24th March, 1903. The plain- tiffs, Messrs C. E. Moreton Priehard, W. H. Edwards, and W. Hughes Jones, as exe- cutors. claimed probate of a will dated 13th February, 1903. A daughter of the tes- tator, Mrs Mary Elizabeth Hughes. a widow, and a number of grandchildren, were joined as defendants, but the only one contesting the will was Sarah Annie Marv Augusta Hughes. a grand-daughter, who I alleged that the will was not duly executed, and that it was obtained by fraud on the part of Mrs Mary Elizabeth Hughes, who had. she said. made" certain statements with the object of prejudicing the testatci I against the defendant Sarah Hughes. This was denied. Mr Priestley, K.C.. and Mr Bryn Ro- berts appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr I Dickens, K.C., and Mr M'Cardie for the defendant Sarah Hughes, and Mr Deane, K.C., and Mr Glazebrook for other parties in the case. I Mr Priestley said the testator for many ¡ years carried on business as a chemist and druggist at Holyhead, and he died on the 24th March, 1903. at his house in Market street. He was 89 years of age, and he had accumulated a fortuue of about £ 6295. He had eight children, only one of whom sur- vived, namely Mary Elizabeth Hughes. He made a will in June, 1902. The main de- fferenee between that will and the will in dispute was that under the former will the defendant Sarah Hughes, his granddaugh- ter. got £ 200 absolutely, while under the ter. got £ 200 absolutely, while under the latter will she was to be paid that sum in instalments of 9s a week. The defendant Sarah Hughes was the daughter of a son of the testator, who died in 1893. He had I been a medical man, and his education had caused the testator considerable expense. After his death his widow was married to a Mr Pay. With reference to the opposition Mr Pay. With reference to the opposition I, to the will, Mr Priestley said the defendant Sarah Hughes had made remarkable alle- gations against Mary Elizabeth Hughes of having influenced ihe testator, all of which having influenced the testator, all of which were absolutely without foundation. Mr Rice Williams, solicitor, of Holyhead, gave evidence ys to the instructions foi the will and its execution.—In cross-examina- tion. he said he believed the testator com- plained that the granddaughter Sarah "painted" or ''powdered." Dr J. Lewis Owen, of Holyhead, said that the testator was of sound mind at the time I of the will. Margaret Ann Edwards and Hannah Owen, the testator's housekeeper, also spoke to the testator's capacity for making a will. The witness said the testator had com-I plained of Sarah Hughes using dye for her hair.—Cross-examined, the witness said that the testator had said that if he let Sarah have the money her mother would get it. and that wa sthe reason he gave her the money in instalments. Mr C. E. M. Priehard, solicitor, of Holyhead, one of the executors, and another witness were called in support of the will. Mr Dickeus, K.C., for the defence, said there had not been any disagreement be- tween the testator and his client Sarah Hughes. It haQ been suggested that the testator was displeased because he heard that she powdered her face but that was not an unusual thing for ladies to do nowa- days. He submitted that the testator had been prejudiced by statements made to him, and that his client had been unfairly treated in reference to her share of the property. Sarah Hughes was then called. She said she had visited the testator, and had heard Mrs Mary Elizabeth Hughes tell the testator that the witness's mother had driven her father to drink, ruined him, and killed him; that she had also ruined Mr Pay, and sold his house; and that she had got a photo- graph inserted in a paper announcing that ¡ Mr Pay had mysteriously disappeared, and then brought an action against the paper for damages. The testator got excited I when those statements were made.—Cross- examine by Mr Deane, the witness said her grandfather had never complained about her using dye for her hair. She denied that she used paint or powder, or that her grand- father complained of her doing so. Mrs Pay gave evidence denying emphati- I cally that she had ever been guilty of what was alleged in the statements attributed to Mrs Hughes. Mrs Hughes gave evidence to the effect that she had never made statements to the testator as alleged and had not seid any thing to prejudice his mind against Sarah Hughes. The jury found that the will had been duly executed, and that there had beer, no J fraud. His Lordship accordingly pronounced tor j the will in dispute. j

BANGOR UNIVERSITY COLLEGE EXTENSION. MEETING AT PORTMADOC. Mr R. M. Greaves presided over a meet- ing last Tuesday, convened for the purpose of furthering th" fund that is being formed to defray tne cost of the new College at Bangor. The aitendance was small. The Chairman said that the only way to keep the nation abreast of other nations in science, art, ;)nd commerce was by edu- cation. He was glad that at the College there were agricutural and engineering de- partments. The rising generation must bo better educated if the country was to con- tinue to progress, because of the advance made by other nations. Young men must be trained to tuke charge of quarries, and this could not be done unless a school of minnig was established in the country Principal H. R. Reichel said that he, with other commissioners, had been in America studying Education in that country. Edu- cation was deemed there as being vital to the prosperity of the country. 'J IJe people believed in it. It was universal in the country. The men who had gone through training in applied scitence gave the best results wherever they were employed,—on railways, farms, in engineering works, &c. In this country the old universities could not meet the future demands for education. Those demands must be met largely by Provincial Colleges. Bangor College, under the new scheme, would be sufficiently large to contain twice the number of the present students. They must have plenty of room to develop the teaching of applied science and pure art,, in order to enable them to meet the demands of the nexr century. Principal Reichel then described the site of the new buildings at Bangor. Professor John Morris Jones was glad to see that so many had come together. It was not often they had such a large num- ber present! The College was a success. If it had not proved a success, the present I movement could not have taken place. The number of students had more than trebled. The present building was intended for an hotel. Some of the rooms were old bed- rooms, which perhaps accounted for the students being so sleepy sometimes There Was no room to teach all the students with- out overcrowding. Each subject taught ought to have a room to itself. They would not hear in a room what was said in it, but they seemed to be able to hear what was said in other rooms (laughter). He wanted a room specially adapted to the teaching of Welsh.-enrything Welsh in it. just the same as the room in which the Principal taught Greek. The Professor considered the site an ideal one in every way. Wales had been behind in education to other nations, and if it was to take its proper place in the world this work must be car- ied out. So far, the children from 13 to 14 years of age when entering the inter- mediate schools. They should be sent there when between 11 and 12 years old. The intermediate schools should be as free as the elementary schools. That, was bound to come. It was the question of the im- mediate future. The reason why Scotland was ahead of Wales was because it had its colleges established four generations before Wales. The Welsh Colleges had been a greater force in forming national unity than even the Eisteddfod. There was not a breath of sectarianism in the National Col- leges. Bangor College was more truly Welsh than the other two National Colleges. About half the professors and lecturers were Welsh, and no doubt as Welsh scholars were produced by the National Colleges there would be fewer English professors and lectures in those Colleges. The Rev J. J. Roberts (Iolo Carnarvon) proposed a resolution expressing sympathy with the movement, and pledging the meet- ing to do all thev could to support the movement. Mr Roberts pressed upon the rich and also upon the poor to do all they could in the matter. The Rev W. Ross Hughes, Borthygest. seconded. — Llew Tegid, the organising secretary, also spoke.—Afterwards ii com- mittee was formed to carry out the resolu- tion. About £112 were promised towards the fund, which was stated to have reached the sum of £:26,000 already.

DANGERS OF OBESITY. EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT. A great "authority 011 corpulency, its causes, aod its cure, calls attention to certain vital | facts which all of us who are inclined to lW- duo stoutness would do well to ponder over with the utmost seriousness. Obesity is not merely an unwelcome physical develop- ment": it is a grave menace 00 health. An .weumulation of fat may occur upon the muscle of the heart or anotnfri the kidneys, I and persons in this oondifSm are extremely liable to have these vital organs impaired, whereby disaster is invited. Mi* F. Cecil Russell, the well-known specialist, fiwm whose book "Oorpulerjcy and the Cure," we glean our facts, says: — "Those who suffer from polysaroo cmenti, that is an accuaivuia- tion of abdominal subcutaneous fat. tfome- times tieveral inches in depth, caiTy also an enormous weight of fa.t around the internal organs, and are prone to the lomplaints known an fatty degeneoation of the heart and liver." How may this state of things be lvmedi-ed ? Mr Ruissell shows us the way. By tho author's treatment we may positively | loose two sfcoua in about a month, with the greatest possible benefit in health, and strength, muscle avd, bradii. Parodexical as it may seem, the process of leriuction is ac- compa-nied by increase of appetite and greater digestive activity, 93 that whilst more food is roqtardi and vigour and vitality are thereby increased, the body grows less, and less in weight to the extent of J:tfom s)b. to 21 bs. a day, as the test of the weighing machine wilr demonstrate. The treatment is absolutely harmless, and involves no discom- fort or inconvonieoce, no irritating restric- tion. no weakening cathartics. It is an un- que.- £ iru>ed and unquestionable success, and the author, who lias devoted yeara of study to the subject, guarantees a noticeable reduc- tion within 24 houa's of cmmnenci^g the treat- in en t, which amis at the very mot of obesity, so that the superfluous fat does not return when the treatment is discontinued. To judge from the records of nearly a thousand cage's in which the patients themselves have testified in writing Co the marvellous effects of the regimen, Mr Russell is to he heartily congratulated upon the practical lesulta of his study and research. We advise our readers to call the attention of stout friends to this, because, sincerely, we think they ought to know.

-"J"——— ill BEAUTY OF SKIN PURITYOF BLOOD Ancient and Modern Ideas oil These Interesting Subjects. UP-TO-DATE METHOD* For Purifying and Beautifying; the Skin, Scalp, Hair and Hands. Socrates called beauty a short-lived tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature, Theocritus, a delightful prejudice, Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carr.esdes a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorto's gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beanty was better than all the letters o' rec- ommendation in the world, and, yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even a hint of how be uty Is to be perpetuated, or the ravage, of age and disease defied. Time so blends the lily and the ros? into tht. pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous disfigurations and crimsons the Roman no-e with unsight- ly flushes, moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, and fills the sensitive soul with agony. If such be the unhappy condition of one afflicted with slight sine blemishes, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturing humours have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the blood with poisonous elements to be- come a part of the system until death? It is in the treatment of torturing, disfiguring humours and affections of the skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair, that the Cutlcura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Orig- inal in composition, scientifically eom." pounded, absolutely pure, unchange- able in .any climate, always ready, and agreeable to the most delicate and sen- sitive, they present to young and old the most successful curatives of mod- ern times.

MENAI BRIDGE DISTRICT, COUNCIL. The annual meeting was held ill the new Council Chamber adjoining the pier, ou Wednesday evening. THE NEW CHAIRMAN". The retiring chairman (Mr C. Davies) pro- posed the election of Dr R. M. Williams to the chair. Seconded by Mr J. O. Knight the proposal was carried with accla- mation. and the new chairman thanked Mr C. Davies for past services. THE CLERK S SALARY. A special committee appointed to con- sider the Clerk's application for an increase of salary, in view of the heavy work entailed by the new pier scheme, recommended an increase from ,E4.r> to £ 60 per annum. The recommendation was agreed to, and it was decided to reconsider the matter at the end of four years. THE MEDICAL OFFICER. Dr P. Fraser, Carnarvon, was re-appoint- ed Medical Officer at au annual aalarv of £ 20. MISCELLANEOUS. It was dcc id d not to levy a water rate this year.—A vote of thanks was accorded Councillor James G. Bacon for his genero- sity in connection with the new Council Chamber. — A letter was read from Mr J. J. Webster intimating that he could make no further concessions in his professional charges in connection with the new pier -It was decided to invite Lord Rosebery to open the new pier at a convenient date during the month of June. — The Local Governm'nt Board wrote sanctioning the re-appointment of Mr R. A. Thomas as Sanitary Inspector. During March there were three births; no deaths had occurred. It was pointed out that the report of the Medical < )fficer was incorrect, a* Dr Prythercit had died during March. NORTH WALES ELECTRIC POWER BILL. From tho promoters of the above Bill a letter was read askiug the Council to give their support and pass a resolution to that effect. The object of the promoters was to develope the natural resources of the Principality and in other ways to provide a supply of electricity for all lighting and power purposes. There was no doubt that the introduction of electric current into Anglesey would be followed by light railway de- velopments, particularly an electric railway from Llanfair P.G. to Beaumaris (hear. hear). In connection with this it; would be comparatively easy to light the whole district. This would be a great addition to the attraction of Menai Bridge and and there was no doubt, that a large increase in tourist traffic would follow. The Board of Trade would protect the local authorities from any un- due interference on the part of the Power Company. On the motion of Mr T. Roberts it was decided to leave the matter in abeyance, ob- jection being taken to the request on Ihe ground that it would tie their hands.

to auy pavticulai display of classy football, and in this they were superior to Bangor. who could do neither one thing nor the other. The Reserves' J £ rout weakness was the for- ward line, ai;d the most inefficient part of this unsatisfactory combination was the right wing. The whole line seemed to be acting in discord throughout, the piece, there was no unity of method permeating their move- ments, and a more disjointed, uneven per- formance has seldom been given by the Re- serve front line than that which was dis- played in this match. The absence of Ktnyon was felt, his sub- stitute, R. T. Evans, being in an indifferent mood. Eardley" as disappointing, and Burns was much less effective than usual. The It it wing. Davies and Williams, strove hard. but without success. The halves were a little better. Rowlands, of the Normal College. made a favourable debut, and one distin- guishable feature about his play was the accu- racy with which he fed the fciwardi. Th. other two laboured with commendable per- sistency. Evans at full back was not at his best, and Fierce was beaten with ease on several occasions. In goal, W. Jones was a failure. The meeting of Bangor and Portmad». meant so n ueh for both clubs that it was looked upor: as one of the most interesting fixtures of the season, and ideal weather favoured the encounter. The Bangor execa- tive being fully cognisant to the abilitie3 of the Port" .p?ay-\vs 011 their own sward, de- cided to take no chanccs, and t;ent the Com- binntiou leam avay. leaving the Etser es at home to meet Llandudno in the same co:o- petition. Though unsuccessful, the Port- l t!"t¡.:oc crowd ga\o Bangor a good game. A -truggle which, in the opinion of one enthusiast. knocked spots out of the Wales v. Ireland International Match," was wit- nessed by a large crowd on the ground of the Bahgor Football Club last Wednesday. The contending teams were dubnell with the awe- inspiring titles of Dunnicliffe Warriors and "Dolly Rangers," and if not scientific, the game was decidedly enjoyable—for the spectators it being far removed from the drawing-room order, and the vigour shown was worthy of a better cause. In view of toe tactics adopted, it is satisfactory to re- port that the number of cases at the hospital showed no appreciable increase after the match, which ended in a draw of two goals each. F01' special pri-ise, we must single out Jim Robeits. the "Warriors'" custodian, for whom penalty kicks have no terrors, for he saved them with remarkable skill. His friend at the other end of the field. John Jones, also showed grand form, tipping one penalty kick over the bar in a manner worthy of a First League goalkeeper. A player who entered heart and soul (and legs) into the game was William Jones, who was respon sible for more than one point. Mention must also be made of thf admirable placing of corner kicks by X ?d Pritehard, and also of Stephen Jones's work. In fact, the twenty- two players (the number varied during th" progress of the game) succeeded in provid- ing the game of the season from one point of vie v. The tim' honoured "scratch sixes'' at :he Friars Intermediate School proved most ex- citing this season the final being played on Saturday between teams captained by Elliott and Edmunds. After an interesting game, Elliott's side claimed the victory by four gor.ls to nil. Die following constituted the successful side: W. R. Elliott. H. B. Lewis, R. !• oulkes, R. L. Roberts, J. V. Williams. •.Mill Harris; and they w< re opposed by J. luununns, Noel Savage, T. Thomas, J. Evan*. Flyntic, and J. Williams.

ings be held on Wednesday nights. Mr Lansbury said it would not. be advisable to change to Wednesday night as ilt- majority of the new members w ere tradesmen, and on that day the. bulk of the wages w<"re paid. Consequently they would require to be at their business. Mr Slater remarked that. they were to do their duty for the rate- payers. Was it too tuueh to sacrifice one night? Tuesday was a half holiday, and was a convenient night for meeting- Finally it was resolved the meetings in future should be held on the second Tues- day in the month.—The different committees were then appointed. — Mr Asquith. the f Surveyor, applied for a testimonial, as he was a candidate for an appointment near to his home, and his request was granted.—A vote of sympathy was passed with Mr E. H. Williams in hi* illness.
