E. Hugoos was therefore seldom tested.

COAST JUNIOR LEAGUE. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS RESERVE v. DENBIGH. THE COUNTY MEN VICTORIOUS. (BY "FIDELIS.") Played at Llandudno, before a meagre attend- ance. Boisterous weather prevailed, and any- thing like accurate play was out of the question. I think the Council field ought in truth to be renamed "the Council Chamber" as there is invariably a lot of ,superfluous wind about. Both teams were well represented. On .the day's dis- play the Denbigh team fully deserved, :the'r vic- tory, as1 they seemed to adapt themselves to the conditions1 far better than the. home eleven. Mr C. J. Thomas, of Bangor, had charge of the game. Denbigh were saiccessful with the toss, and elected to play with the wind towards the sea. The opening- stages were rather exciting, as the Amateurs were 'soon crowding round the Den- bigh goal, where Griffiths missed two fine open- ings. Soon after Davy again rushed through but R. Williams cleared in the iniick of time. Denbigh niOW made tracks for Hobson, aind in the pressure, a cOTner was cümceded off Cassidy. The same player cleared this, only to see the visitors return. The Amateurs were now having a hot time, as they were unable to make any headway against the wind. From a fine run down by Bur Davies. the home goal had a let off, Tuekfield awfully slow when close in. A ve-ry fine movement was seen on the Denbigh right, and Evans sent in a grand shot, which Hobson sa,ved, splen,diidly. B. Davieis again came .down, and after a very trickv run, sent in a lovely shot, which, however, Sam Williams in- tercepted only to concede a fruitless cornier. Johnson and "Settle" Owen were seen coming away, but their career was rudely stopped by Griffiths, who at once returne-d the ball into the home quarter, where Davies again got hold, and beating the defence, centred well, but Tuck- field spoiled the movement by lying offside. The Amateurs, by strong kicking, paid a visit to Griffiths, land from a centre by Jones., Johnson shot miserably weak. From the goal kick the game was at once takeni back, and Hoibsoin was brought to his knees by a fine shot by R. Evans. A fine run by B. Davies was spoiled by a weak shot. The yisitons' were now swarming round the home citadel, and it was thought that Hob. :;on',sClhargB must fall in the pressure. Still keeping up the pressure, R. Evans tested Hobson wi,th a fast shot, which was fisted out. Bur Davies now came away on his own, and with a rattling shot, placed the ball out of Hobson's reach. it The visitors were now having all the game, and the home diefemce was hard ^-nessed to avoid disaster. Two corners were now conceded in rapid succession but the pressure was tempor- arily relieved by Jones, who went away in fine style and centred well, but the visitors' custodian fisted out. Back again came the visitors, and Hobson was called upon bv Evans. This he only partly cleared, and in, the scramble F. Dav. ies puit into an open goal. This goal, to my mind, was opeln to suspicion, as Hobson was undoubtedly fouled by Davies. Half-time now arrived with the score Denbigh, 2 Amateurs, o. It was fully expected that the Amateurs, with the wind in their favour, would at least divide the honours but it was at once seen that the Denbigh defenoa would be equal to a,ny call that might be made upon them, Williams and Griffiths defending in fine style. The half-back line also worried the bomie attack." Davy Griffiths started with a fine run, and from an awkward angle, sent in a low centre, which, however, went a-beggiing. The visitors, who seemed to adapt themselves to the comditionis, went away, and R. Evans, after a fine run. hit the post with a fast shot. It is a singular thing that the Amateurs cannot make use of the wind, seeing that it is always blowing on the home ground. The visitors were now ^laying a grand game, despite the fact that the wind was blowing half a gale, and Hobsoii was called upon to save from B. Daviels and F. Davies. At this stage the visitors mslsed a glorious chamoe, the ball rolling harmlessly in froint of goal, till Hall managed to clear. The Amateurs, or to be pre- cise, the wind, changed the scene of attack, and Jones sent well in to Roberts, who however, was ruled offside. From a foul. Sam Williams sent well in, and in the pressure forced a corner. This was cleverly cleared, and F. Davies got away with a rush, and B. Davies, getting pos- session, went through, and in the pressure Cas. sidy almost put through his own goal. The wind now carried the ball back to the visitors' quarters, and Griffiths wais called upon to save from Davy and Sam Williams, the latter having very hard lines with a long shot. The visitors, who were playing up gamely, again came away, and from a very dangerous rush by the left wing, Hobson made a brilliant save at close quarters from B. Davies. Rain now began to fall very heavily, and the players were anxiously making enquiries as to how long they had to go? The Amateurs now brought pressure to bear on the visitors' defence, but a score was not forthcoming. Denbigh again got away, but Cassidy put them to the right about. Sam Williams,, who would' have been a tower of strength in the front line, came away with a tricky run, and with a fine shot was within an ace of scoring. "Settle" also missed a nice opening while close in. Soon after time was called, the Dehbighites gaining a meritor- ious victory. Final result: Denbigh, 2; Amateurs, nil.

Football Notes. (BY "VIGILANT.") Luck is a commodity that falls to the few, and among :the few the Holyhead team may be numbered. Now, really, energetic and enthusi- astic friend Weekes, don't you think there were sliices of this acceptable gift doled out to your "bhoys" on Saturday? I am longing to see some quality that I expect, but have not been fortunate enough i(n, in you Harbourmen each match I have witnessed1. Your displays at Carnarvon and Bangor were much below what I wanted to see. It can't be that you are dtowni. heaited, for you have had nearly a fine-tier chest of "draws" give-n you,, and if ever a team loved draws you have had them, and tight-fitting ones, too. < And yet you are not out of the wood, for you will have to. go through the same performance again with Bangor and Aberystwyth, an-d I am wondering how you will complete your League fixtures unless you trot out your Reserves to. do. duty for you? I think they will be waln,ted, and the sooner they get into training the better, or else your grand reputation in the League will be smeared with defeat. You know it would be a grand thing for you to go through the League season without a "blot on --our copy- book," but the calls upon the mighty are many, 'and I am afraid by now you are numbering yourselves, among those who sit on high fences- Take oare, "hogia Sir Fon," that you fall not off the fence. You were sitting on a very pre- carious one at Bangor, on Saturday, and your equipoise was nearly overbalanced when kind luck ran once more to your assistance and gave you another tier in your respectable chest of draws. Perhrapssolme of you bold Harbourmen will say that I am no. friend of yours to .speak of you so but I can assure you, that though I write, in Llandludno, where the finalists live, it is the affection I JhJVe for you, one and all, that makes me rebuke you, and other teams as well, when I think you deserve it. I am told you have cup eyes, every one of you this season but I 1htinikyou will have to wear different lenses to those you used, on Satur- day. You were practically a team of mediveri- ties'. Whilst your smaller, though by far smarter, appOonJEmtsi gave a display of football, considering the elements and the. ground (Ugh! How I shiver tOo think of it), that was one of the finest, if not the very finest, I have seen this winter. You see, you. Holyhead "Soonens," they played the ball, aiidi you played the man. Aber. ystwyth, gImilcmsl with the ball, you inglorious with the man. Change your tactics next time, dear boy's, and drop your methods, that really means physical force against "Skience." I want to praise you, am lomging to do so but want you to dlo something worthy of praise. Oh! let it be soon. Tiny's face, amidst all the glamour of heavy pressure, and no. end of difficulties, wore that smile, that our artist must really snap-shot. It is like a ray orf iSlunslhriille in a desert of ordin- ary creatures. I aim gladl indeed. Tiny, that you did not once, I think, get a bone-ishaker drop, else the laundrymaidi would: have a job, wouldn't she, goodroMI Tiny? They say stout people are good tempered, and I am sure, old boy, you are the embodiment of it. At least I think you are, and, they say I aim a pretty good, judge of mat- ters in general, aindi you in. particular. Collier looked anxious, and had need, too., and I fancy I tsaw the Angel of Luck floating about you, swaying the sceptre of bad. omen away. Can't Abieritesi shoot, Collier! What do. you think? Parry wasl wandering, I 'think, what Holyhead had doine to get such a task, and I also thought those littlei Aber men were very naughty to bother you so. You nearly lost your temper, didln't you? Keep your ba;r on, W. H., bad temper isi the first stage of madness, and you must remember you are a soldier of the football arena. I thinik you didn't look quite so. cross as you did at Carnarvon. I trust, on Saturday, after itbe, gates we have had., you will don a real smile', for Saitur-dlay ought to be "the to be or not to be," day as to whether you meet the Llandudho Cormorants in the final. » » < And now the halves, of what is1 the whole, as, the Irishman hath it. Taylor, W. T. Jones, and Dick Ellis. The first was an unceasingly hard worker, the second ditto, and the third in and out. The third spoilt his play with shady tricks, and he ought to be above such a thing. I really felt sorry for W. T. on Saturday, as he was frequently outwitted by the Aberites. Of course, every man has his off-days, rand with a couple of sn-oll exceptions', I fancy, W. T., you were not so good as usual. Of course, old boy you had something tangible against you, hadn't you? Better luck when next you meet. Bogue, in the centre, was. a good pivot, but "Francey" could nc)t get hils beSit foot forward. The forwards were not near so methodical or dangerous as their .rivals, were they Wc-ekes ? Some idea of what they could do, if they were left alone shone now and again.; but they lack- ed cohesion, and I do t-hiin-k you all miss the fleet O. B. there very much." Of course you can fry it on again on Saturday, for I think the brothers Brown are a good wing, whilst J. Row. land's and Roberts, are a pair not to be snuffed at. And now, I shall not have the chance of speaking to you again until you have met Ban- gOT, and my advice to you hs, that to beat the Citizens you will have to alter your play a mighty lot. I wonder if Saturday will be your or Bangers day out? < As to my Aberystwyth friends, I have nothing but ufnstinted praise for the whole eleven I have never .seen, as I said before, a better exhii bitJion of football this winter. What could one have better than the display of the Recces' (2)

Cab Overturned at Llandudno. The weather at Llantdudno on Saturday was wet and stormy all day. Towards evening a furious .wesiterly gale ensued, reaching its height between ten and eleven o'clock. It then gradu- ally subsided, .SIO that two hours later there was almost a calm. There was high tide about mid- night, and the wind ,added to the height of the water in thei Menaa Straits and &4e Coqway Bay. The shore at West Llandudno being ex- posed to the blast, and the tide beinig iso high, \yas washed by enormoulS breakers, and the sea came Tight over the shingle into the model yacht lake. Some chimney pots were blown off, and several windows were blown in at West Shore and in other parts of the town, including two at the Royal Hotel. One exciting incident occurred, the wind over- turning a landau in the district known as The Warren. This is the newly-built portion of the II town, lying between, the West Shore and the railway line. A young man had been driving a cab for Mr. Daniel Owen for aboat a week, and though 'the other cabmen in the railway station refused fares while the storm was at its height he undertook to drive two ladies and a girl to the Warren. When he had reached the neighbourhood of the new Dyffryn-road School, which is one of the moslt exposed parts of the district, the cab was blown over and down the low bank at the side of the road. Neither pas- sengers, driver, nor the horse were, fortunately, I injured. Their esc,ap,e must have been remark- able.

the Bangorians and Aber following, Holybea.d w,ere io a poor minority. After Aberystwyth had received all the tips regarding- each Holy- head player from their Bangor friends, the teams lined up in the charge of Mr Miller, Chester, as foltows Aberystwyth R. Crowther, goal; F. Hem- M'ln,g and O. Green, backs; T. Rees, T. W. James and J. W. Edwards, half-backs; R. Peake, D. E. Price, A. Jenkins. D. Hughes and J. L. B. Rees, forwards. Holyhead W. Collier, goal; T. Coailan and W. H. Parry, backs; W Taylor. W. T. Jones and R. Ellis, half-backs; H. Roberts, J. Row- lands, F. Bogue, W. Brown and H. Brown, forwards. The opening istages were inl favour of the Aber hoys, and after a little mud .sliding and pond Jumping, the Stripes made tracks for Crowither, and a foul against Aber just outside the penalty area was almost converted by Bogus from a Well-placed kick by-Ellis. From the kick out Peake raced away, and slipping past Ellis, cen- trEldaocuraltelv and Price tested Collier with a beauty. The famous custodian was siafe. The Wretched condition of .the ground had -now con- certed the one time clean and bright contestants into mud clad and wretched looking figures. Yet they struggled on, and under the circumstances. Were giving a good exhibition. The Aber men Were slightly the better team, and were indulg- ing in some pretty short passing, which seemed to afford them great advantage, for they we.re pftem. able, by such means, to work themselves Into close and dangerous positions. Jenkins made another attempt to lower Colter's charge, but the HoIvbeadkeenm was in hi,s be:t form, and could mot be defeated. Getting down, the Holyh^adians forced a corner, and Brown placed behind. Still pressing, the Blues forced .another corner, which wa.s well placed by Roberts, and after Green dealing, Taylor returned and only hissed by inches. Aberystwyth now broke ■away^ and from a misunderstanding between P(arry and Ellis, Peake got in, and pass'ng to -P^ce, the inside man just managed to- defeat Collier, and thus open- the score. What a. deaf- ening roar from all except the few Holyhead- lan's, and the Aber rattles sounded again and again. To mv mind, this was a rather lucky "Cial, for Ellis had all along main,ag.e,d to kieep his charge intact, and1 first mistake proved disastrous. Holyhead stirred themselves, and ^ade an attack upon the Aber goal, and' W. T. Jpueis, oin one occasion., only missed bv inches. Endi-to-end play was the feature of the game to balf-tjimg when a welcome cup of coffee was sought, with the score 1 Aberystwyth, i Holyhead, nil. Re-starting, Aberystwyth at once pressed), and h^ld the upper hand for quite fifteen minutes, during which fouls were very frequently given ^efainst both sides. Collier, Conlan and Parry a<i a lively time at this stage, but managed, With the help of Dick Ellis, to stave off disaster. Hughes sent a good1 shot iin, and Parry head- ed o.ut rigihtunder the bar. Lucky save for HolYhad. Rain was now pouring heavily, and really the nlayers s training every nerve as they enf:, earnied my sympathy for the pitiable ap- Pea.na,nce they -presented. Holyhead, were now hard for the equaliser, and from, a pass by Bogue to Roberts:, this was forth- ^naiing. Roberts centred, and when Bogue had fr?''?ated Crowther, the whistle sounded for a U1 against W. Brown. What ill-luck for Holy- ead. However, Conlan returned, and Roberts near the touch line, centred, aind Row- :l IlQs head:ng on to the toe of W. Brown, that r|a>'e:r made amends by safely netting, and thus _Mualising four minutes from time. ^hte Aber bp611 seamed quite exhausted, and had there ^'eri another te-n minutes of play I fancy they +u° d havre retired with another goal against '6na. After a throw in by Ellis, the whistle funded with the score: Aberystwyth, i Holyhead, i. NOTES. Before making any comments on the game, I ^peiled to express my strongest indignation g the unwarranted and inhuman action of the ofaJpr committee in instructing the caretaker ,of the dressing room to serve out "no" towels soap to the Holyhead1 players, after the match, urely their sorry, muddy plight should earn the ■J Ripathy ancli assistance of every true spo-rts- n, yet these self-termed sportsmen, who have ainly attempted to level accusations of un- Pcwtsmanlike conduct against the Holyhead' SuPporters, were guiLty of one of the moist un- sportsmanlike and contemptible actions that could be practised in any circle. Fancy a team ^,aving to send) out and purchase towels, after Lhe Bangor club had been paid by the Welsh social ion for the use of their ground and dressing room. Something more may be heard this. Returning to the game, I mu.st state at I never witnessed two teams perform so AkJ U:nd.er such wretched! climatic conditions, ter rtyatwyth were on the whole slightly the bet- t° my mind they a weak undoubted!10* bein§ a:ble to st'ay- *or tihey. were from time exhausted fifteen minutes he robbed of ^^head.1 were quite, fresh.

WiAbery,stwyth have a fine forward line, the left heaH) aPl>e'arrriR very clever. Collier, the Holy- Oin fV, c'ist0flr>an, was undoubtedly the best man e held, with Dick Ellis a good second.
