(BY "SPECTATOR.") •T!:«?,e t-eams met at Bangor on Saturday, lwiore a fair crowd of spectators. BotJl teams were below full strength, and natur- ally the old-time excitement and enthusiasm which was always the case when these teams met, were conspicuous by their absence. Holyhead brought with them a Liverpudlian in the person of G. Derbyshire, who played centre, and at times the newcomer showed up well. Shortly after three o'clock. Referee Mr Tom Jones, Holywell, lined the following players:— Bangor: Ted Owen, goal; L. II. Brock, D. J. Thomas, backr- Aaron Jones. II. J. Da- vi?«, Arthur Owen. half-blocks; Hughie Owen, Edgar Lloyd Jones, C. E. Tliomaa, W. E. Jonee, and W. H. Jones, forwards. Holyhead: W. Colli,er, goal; "Doctor" Willian.s, Dick Ellis, 'jacks; H. Williams, W. T. Jones, Louis Jones, haif-baeks; Salis- bury Owen, R. C. Jones. G. Derbyshire. J. Wallis J<.nes. and IIngltie Brown, for- wards. Bangor lost the toss, and Thomas set the baU rolling. Ba-ngor at once took up the attack, and in the first five minutes, the homeFters missed two fine opportunities of -•(•oriug. The ba-U harmlessly passed, the Holyhead goal. The visitors now had a turn of pressing, and Ted Owen had to leave his goal to kick the ball clear. Once more tho Reserves pressed, and W. E. Jones worked the ball through the backs, and beat Collier with a tame shot. Three min- utes later, Brown from a, difficult angle equalised, Ted Owen throwing himself full length, but to no avail. Scarcely had the ball been restarted than Hughie Owen went towards the Holyhead goal. and although hotly pcrsued by three visitors, the Reserve outside right managed to get in his centre, which Collier cleared. From this point to the interval, the play of both teams was of a very scrappy character. When the whistle sounded for half-time, each side crossed over with a goal to their credit. Holyhead restarted, and soon called upon Ted Owen to save. The Bangor custodian was in a good mood, and saved well. At the other end, Collier was rarely troubled, as the backs had the home vanguard well in 11 hand. At this juncturre, the home centre- half was injured and left the field, and to ilio end the homesters had to play a man short. Hughie Owen and W. H. Jones were the only triers in the Bangor forward line, and several of their centres had. to go abeg- ging, The Blue and Whites now became the aggressors, and after a fine run, Salis- bury Owen put in a lovely, centre, which Ted Owen brilliantly saved whilst full length, and from the return sent in by Johnny Wallis, Ted again saved, for which he was loudly cheered. Rarely have two finer saves ever been witnessed in any foot- ball match. Bangor, through their ex- treme forwards, gave the visiting defence an anxious few minutes, and during one of their attacks. Rowland Williams kicked W. H. Jones's legs, with the result that the Bangorian was Rent ..sprawling into goal. The referee instantly awarded a penalty, but it. was some time before the kick could be taken, as the visitors strongly protested ag- ainst the kick being taken, and started to leave the field, and in all probability would (ioiH' se^jaaly ior Mr \Veekes, asking them 10 remain. H/ughTo Owen took charge of the kick, and beat Collier with ease, thus giving Bangor the lead. Holyhead from the centre looked like equalising, but Arthur Owen (who by the way was making his first appearance for Bangor after his transfer from Conway) time after time proved a stumbling block to the visiting right wing. Play was now confined to m id field, and very little excitement pre- vailed. Nothing particular occurred, and when the whistle sounded for time, a poor game, in fa.ct the poorest seen on the Bangor ground for years, ended thus Bangor Re- serve, 2 goals; Holyhead Swifts, 1 goal.

WELSH AMATEUR CUP. CARNARVON v. ABERYSTWYTH. A DRAWN GAME. (BY "SALAMBO ") On Saturday afternoon, the Carnarvon United team ma-de a long journey of about 70 miles to Towyn, Merioneth, where they met Aberystwyth in the semi-final for the Welsh Amateur Cup. About 30 supporters accompanied the home team upon the jour- ney, which, although rather long, afforded the North Walians a grand opportunity of seeing some of the finest scenery in Britain. Towyn was reached a little before one, and although the weather was dull, rain kept ofT remarkably well, and there was fortunately no wind to affect the game. Aberystwyth brought with them a crowd of between five and Fix hundred supporters. Carnarvon were the first to take the field, a.nd they were given a hearty good cheer on making their appearance. It was evident that Carnarvon were the favourites. Aberystwyth shortly followed, and they were well received. Aber won the toss, and decided to defend the goal nearest the town. It soon became evident that not only were the spectators excited, but that the players were rather keen as well. The game opened tamely. Aberyst- wyth were having the best of it, but when they came in front of goal. they were glar- ingly ineffective. On the other hand, per- sonal comments were made by the spectatorR as to Carnarvon's combination. They showed rare tact, and whenever they were set going, the Aber backs had a stiff task before them to clear. Carnarvon, however, were far from their usual form. I hive seen Carnar- von play on more than one occasion, but I must say that Saturday's game was not in the same category as those games. Their combination was much inferior, but weak as it was it outclassed Aber.s. Aber's tactics were kick and rush, but their backs—Man- sell Jenkins and Oswald Green-were always safe, and had powerful kicks. This can also be "said of the Carnarvon backs, who on more than one occasion saved their team from defeat. G. H. Jones, the Carnarvon custodian, also played a brilliant game, and he 11:18 a good share of the honours of the day. As to the penalty awarded against- Albert Griffith, there is considerable doubt as to whether it should have been given at all. In my opinion it was no more of a pena-ltv than when Walter Jones was glar- ingly fouled within the penalty area in the first, half. and the referee ignored Carnar- von's appeal for a penalty kick. The Car- narvon pivot was m great form, as usual, and was a dangerous customer for the Aber backs to deal with. The wingers, especially R. H. Roberts, who showed1 careful judg- ment in his shots, made some startling rush- es, and their punts were always towards goal. Carnarvon's weak spot was the half- back line. Here Johnny Griffith fed his fo^ards well, but Herbert and Jones were off form. Aberystwyth possessed a good half-back line, and James, in the forward line, distinguished himself on more than one occasion with his punts. The Aber custod- ian was not at all safe with hie clearances, and had there not been such a good pair of backs in front of him, there id every pro- t bability that. the score would have been J different. The teams turned out as follows:—Aber- \si wyth: 11. L. Roberts; Mansell Jenkins and Oswald Green; T. Rees, R. W. Ed- wards, and W. D. Thomaf T. J. Jones, H. V. Jamas, C. Patterson, W. Wright, and J. Jones. Carnarvon: G. H. Jones; Evan Hughes mid Albert Griffith; John Griffith, Herbert, and E. R. Jones; R. H, Roberts, Tom Ro- bert- Walter Jones. II, Roberts, and Johnny Jones. The referee was Mr Evan Davies, of Llan- idloes. At the outset, Tom Roberts received the ball and passed to R. H. Roberts. He dashed down, and centred. Walter Jones re- c-er\"d and advanced, forcing the Aber cus- todian to clear. Patterson soon got posses- sion. and at once made a dash down, and passed tp J:v;nes, who became dangerous. Albert Griffith was pressed, and only cleared by kicking to touch. From goal-kick, Car- narvon pressed on the right wing, but Tom Roberts's ensuing kick went over the bar. Aber pressed alternately, and gave the Car- narvon backs a warm time of it. Walter Jones broke down and passed to R. H. Ro- berts, who ra.n on nicely and bea.t W. D. Thomas. On nearing corner flag, he passed to Tom Roberts, but hi8 ensuing shot just skimmed the crossbar. Aber got possession, and rushed to the other end. They attacked with vigour, a.nd gave Evan Hughes and z;1 Albert Griffith a warm time of it. H. V, James tested Jones, but be was safe, his clearances being received with cheers. After an end-to-end game, Carnarvon conceded a corner, but this was futile — E. R. Jones clearing. Percy Edwards, however, returned warmly. Jones listing out at the expense of all abortive corner. Aber kept up a des- perate attack for about four minutes within Carnarvon's goal area. James sent a sting- ing shot, which caught the crossbar, and a general melee ensued. Wright sent a beauty into the hands of the custodian, who re- turned smartly. Eventually Albert Griffith sent the ball well down the field, and Walter Jones got possession. He crossed over to the left. and Johnny Jones sent a brilliant shot to the right wing. R. H. Roberts ran on to the corner flag, and centred admirably. Green, however, cleared. But Johnny Grif- fith returned to Walter Jones, who went down on his own. He passed Edwards un- concernedlv, and also Oswald Green, but Oswald was not satisfied, and as Walter Jones was taking his final shot, Oswald fouled him within, it appeared, the penalty area, but the referee ignored Carnarvon's appeal for a penalty kick, and pointed to a free-kick outside the penalty area. This was taken, and went over the bar. Carnarvon a o-a in showed good form, and this gave them a. good opportunity of shooting. Tom Ro- berts again shot over the bar. From goal- kick, Carnarvon again pressed, and Walter Jones combined with Tom Roberts. Tom Dassed to R. II, Roberts, and he ce-ntred. Walter crossed to Johnny Jones, who, with II, Roberts, got within shooting range. Johnny sent a stinger right across the bar, which went to R. H, Roberts, who returned it beautiful centre. Walter Jones rushed on. and headed the ball, but unfortunately it went against the upright, and Oswald Green saved the situation. Aber went goalwards, and T. Rees passed to Patterson, but Evan Hughes robbed him, and returned to Walter Jones. Walter shot at goal, but this went a little wide. Aber resumed their attack, but this was not for long, as Walter Jones ran on lu's own goalwards. He passed to R. H. Roberts. He returned a beauty from the corner, which went against the crossbar, and a skirmish ensued. Oswald Green came to the timely rescue, and cleared. Aber rushed up. and James again tested Jones, who was not to be caught napping. Evan Hughes saved another attack by Aber, and when half-time was called the game stood: Aber 0, Carnarvon 0. After breathing time, Carnarvon pressed, and secured their first corner of the match ofT W. D. Thomas. This was futile. Car- narvon secured possession, and from a pretty piece of combination on the left wing, Walter Jones sent a terrific shot right across the goalmouth. R. H. Roberts ran on, and attempted to touch into the net, but he was a moment too late, otherwise it would have been a splendid goal. Aber showed signs of weakening, whilst Carnarvon still pressed. After a nice piece of combination between Walter Jones and H. Roberts, T. Rees robbed the latter, ad gave to T. J. Jones, who flew along the line. He passed to James, who went on his own. and passed Albert Griffith Albert saw the danger, and rushed on, thinking of touching the ball to corner, James fell across his leg, and a penalty kick was awarded. Man sell Jenkins took the penalty, and made no mistake. Aberystwyth 1, Carnarvon 0. This occurred ten minutes after restarting, and produced a great cheering from the crowd. But this was an incentive to Car- narvon rather than a discouragement, for they played strenuously to equalise. Man- sell Jenkins was hard pressed, and' had to kick to touch. From the throw in, Bert James's run down was frustrated by Albert Griffith, who returned to midfield. Walter Jones did not mince matters, but simply dashed through the defence, and his ensuing kick was saved smartly by Roberts. R. H. Roberts ran on, and centred splendidly. Mansell Jenkins outran Walter, but he only partially cleared. Johnny Jones smartly re- turned, and Roberts had to fist out in order to clear. Aber broke away, but. they were kept at good distance from the Carnarvon goal. Evan Hughes and Albert Griffith were impregnable. Johnny Jones dashed down on the left, and centred. Walter received, and passed to Tom Roberts. They moved on goalwards, but were robbed by Jenkins, who shot down the field. Bert James ran down with speed, and sent a splendid shot right along the goalmouth, but there was none of the Aber forwards there to receive, with the result that the ball went to touch. From goal-kick. Carnarvon made a combined attack on the Aber goal. and in less than a. minute they were in the Aber goal mouth. WTalter Jones, the Aber custodian, and O. Green were on the ground, and the slightest touch would have nlaced the ball in the net. Seeing this, R. H. Roberts rushed ún. and touched the ball into the net, scoring the Z, canalising goal twenty minutes from the re- start. Aberystwyth 1, Carnarvon 1. The game was now considerably enlivened, but the Aber team were now kicking a.t ran- dom. On the other hand, Carnarvon at- tacked desperately. Walter Jones sent a terrific shot at the custodian who only just managed to save. Another fruitless attack on the Aber goal terminated in the Aber for- wards running down. and forcing a corner. This wa,s cleared bv Albert Griffith. and a minute or two a.fterwa.ds time was called. when the game stood at: Carnarvon 1, Aberystwyth 1. We understand that the game will be re- played next Saturday on the Portmadoc Ground, to commence at 4 o'clock. The receipts at the gate amounted to about £ 25.

SPEEDILY CURED BY ONE SET OF CUTICUSA "I have the pleasure of writing to tell what a wonderful cure the Cuticura Remedies made in a very short time. I was troubled with a weéoing eczema. My right hand was the worst. I had cracks as big as cuts in it and watery blisters all under the skin. I tried all kinds of things until I was tired. I went to a doctor and all he could Ray was to use one kind of thing and then another and to keep my hand3 out of water. Then I wrote to my mother whom I knew had had eczema fearfully. She wrote and told me that she had been completely cured by using tho Cuticura Remedies, so she advised me to try them. I got a full set. The first night my hands were quite differ- ent. I kept using Cuticura for a while and now I can put them in water as much as I like and it makes no diffez- ence, where before I was afraid to put them near it. I am thankful I cm cured and to anyone else I know of with such a painful trouble I shall very eoon tell what to get. I am sure that Cuticura is a wonderful treatment.

CARNARVONSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. UXATTRACTIVE SCHOOL BUILDINGS. BOARD OF EDUCATION'S SUGGES- TION. TEACHING TEMPERANCE IN SCHOOLS. Tfha annual meeting of the Carnarvon- shire Education Cotmmittee was held on 1,7 Thursday. ELECTTON OF CHAIRMAN. On the motion of Mr J. T. Jones, seconded' by Mr W. J. Paray, Mr D. P. Williams was unanimously re-elected chair- man for the ensuing year. The Chairman -thtairuked the Committee for the honour done him in re-elotusg him chairman. He .pa.id tribute to the Secretary for the able manner he had dis- charged his duties, and said he never spared himself trouble to give evsry facility in the conduct of the work of the Committee. The ASISiSit ant Secreitary (Mr David Thomas) had also rendered valnrubleassiBtJance to the Committee. On the motion of Mr J. R. Pritchard. seconded toy Mr R. Jones (Roberts, a vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman for his services during the year. HONORARY MEMBER. The Chairman said there was no vacant se-ait on the Committee to which Mr Edward Roberts could be appointed, but his services would ¡be most valuable to the committee. He moved that Mr Roberts be again fusked to act, as honorary member. 0 This was unanimously agreed to; arid Mr Roberts thanked the Committee. THE COMMITTEES. The various committees were re-elected with a few alterations. UNATTRACTIVE SGIIOOL BUILDINGS. A lengthy communication was. received from the Board of Education, with refer- ence to the, Committee's revised' scheme of work in regard to, the proposed provision of new schools, and the reconstruction and improvement of existing school buildings during the financial year ending March, 1910. They approved of the scheme .genera,! ly, but with reference to some of the cases, which it was proposed to defer, ,the Beard considered them to be so urgent as to require attention during the ensuing year. In cases where improvements were deferred, it was suggested that the Com- mittee should maike &ome compensation for the delay by supplying a few good and attractive pictures to brighten the ,appe.ar- aniee of the old premises, some of which were gloomy and unattractive in the, ex- treme, besides having a very untidy and un- cared-for appearance. The Board were in- formed that, the walls of many of these school swere eovered with antiquated and faded maps, which were neither useful nor ornamental, and in same eases with even more disfiguring sheets. Among the schools to which the Board drew special attention was tllie Llandinorwig National School, which, they stated, demanded immediate and effective treatment. Failing some radical imeasuree of reconstruction, the pre- mises could not be much longer recognised for the purposes of a public elementary school, and the Board must insist upon satisfactory aecammodiation 'being provided either by the managers or the Education Committee. It was announced that a copy of the Board's report regarding Llandinor- wug (School had been forwarded to itlie managers. OBJECTION TO A NEW SCHOOL. A (petition had been signed by the rate- payers of the parish of Abererch, and sent to the Board of Education, protestbug agiaansit the proposal to build a new school ait Fourcrosses, on the ground that it was not required, a.nd that the existing non- provided school at Plasgwvn was better suited to meet the requirements of the dis- trict. TEMPERANCE IN SCHOOLS. A letter was read from the North Wales Temperance Association with regard to the teaching of temperance and hygiene in the schools of the county. Mr W. George said he had made in- quiries into this matter, and found that fthere were 26 elementary schools in the county in which the subject of temperance was not mentioned. No sort of guarantee was given as to the effectiveness of the teaching in schooto, and he believed it was the desire of t'he Committee that some- thing' should be done effectively in this J:- jLLij J ■ matter. He thought the teachers should be impressed with the. fact- that the Committee ivere eon-vi-wcDd of the importance of tho <' itbjeof.

MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS, DE PARRY-EDWARDS' REPORT. WORST CLAD CHILDREN IN TOWN r SCHOOLS. At the Carnarvonshire Education Com- mittee on Thursday, Dr E. LI. Parry- Edwards, the Medical Officer for Central Carnarvonshire, presented an interesting report upon the medical inspection of school children, and other matters relating to school sanitation. He stated that up to date he had inspected 2,454 children, repre- senting 46 schools or departments of schools, leaving 14 schools and 2,445 children to complete his inspection. Of the children examined 4.2 were deficient or defective in clothing. This was noticeable in children between the ages of five and ten years, and more so in boys than girls. The worst clad pupils he found in the town schools, among whom poor flannelette was "used, it being inferior to the flannel used chiefly in coun- try districts. In the country districts the footgear was very good—:a combination of clog and boot. There was a tendency to overclotbe the better classes. The children in the quarry districts were very well clothed. Twenty-four per cent, of the chil- dren were below the standard" age, height, weight., chest measurement. This was espe- cially noticeable in the town and large vil- lages, and he attributed this retarded de- velopment to (1) Improper diet—the lack of meat and vegetables, (2) unhealthy environ- ments, (3) totally inadequate allowance of the poor law relief to children, viz., Is 6d or Is per week per child. (4) hereditary ten- dency, and (5) the long hours in school for long distance scholars. The Carnarvon Children's Free Dinner Committee were doirtg excenent work in providing free meals to about 280 children dailv, at a cost of fd per head. In regard to cleanliness, 11 per cent. of the children were defective, and in regard to teeth 11.5 of the cases were found to be defective. He considered that the use of famicaceous foods prevalent amongst certain classes was responsible for this. to- gether with the properties of certain Avater. and th-ft habit cf washing down unmasti- eated food. The services of a dental sur- geon were of the utmost importance in the early school davs. He regretted to report tl¡.'lt the cleansing of teath was s.Iniost. un- known among school children. He recom- mended "TOOTH CLEANSING DRILL. In the following schools the condition of the teeth was found to be most defective Bronyfoel, Penfforddelen, Llanfairisgaer, Waenfawr, Nantlle, Glasinfryn, Carnarvon Boys' Council School, and Rhosgadfan. The number suffering from the nose and throat was 22.5 per cent., and nineteen per cent. had defective eyesight. In the town schools out of 522 children inspected, 222 had de- fective vision—42 per cent., whereas in the country schools only nine per cent. were de- fective. He considered that the situation of the school, good lighting, and entrance of light from pupils left to right to be of the utmost importance, and in his opinion the relative merits of writing materials were insignificant in comparison with the condi- tons he had enumerated. He found that in schools of high altitude, with free entrance of light, it was rare to find a case of near sight. From defective hearing and ear dis- ease 7.5 per cent, were suffering. Two per cent. were defctive in sneeeh, and 1.7 per cent. were mentally afflicted. About, 30 children, were intellectually weak—children who, though in possession of the five or- I ganic senses and phvsicallv sound were- I I poorly endowed in perception, memory, &c. In regard to lungs, 5.5 per cent. were de- fective, and he desired again to draw the Authority's attention to having suitable spitoons in the schools. Eight per cent, suffered from nervous diseases, and thcTP were a few cases of St. Vitus' Dance. It was important, thnt children suffering from the latter cause should be excluded ° from school, however slight the attack. Eczema was frequently observed, and he had to ex- clude eight scholars suffering from scabs. Although no responsibility rest,ed with the 15d neat ion Authority for treatment, the Medical Officer pointed out that in about eight to ten per cent. of the cases, the parents could -not afford the necessary7 ex- 7>en«e. and he suggested that such cases Bnould be cor) side red bv the local school I managers or other body, and that they should report to the Medical Inspection Committee such eases as they .considered deserving of assistance. He further sug- gested that the Board of Education be asked to sanction a sufficient sum of money for treatment, subscriptions to hospitals, end travelling expenses of children and parents (when necessary). He also sug- gested the appointment of a -nurse holding the certificate of the Institute of Hvgiene to lecture at, the schools from time to time. He asked the Authority to emphatically ob- ject to untrained peopte phvsicalTv examin- I ino: a child under anv pretext. He also con- sidered S." hours sufficient school hours for
