Holyhead Football Club. To THE EDITOR OF WEEKLY NEWS. SlR,-I read in your last issue that Holyhead was complaining about the way Bangor directors had treated them by sending down a poor eleven when Holyhead had sent down their best eleven. May I say that it's entirely Holyhead's fault that all the League directors send an inferior team to Holyhead ? How do you treat them when they do come, Holyhead ? A team comes down to play the team, not the spectators as well. How was Conway treated last year ? By sods thrown at them. Why was Atherton so severely treated by the crowd ? Because he nearly scored. I would rather play a team from Hades than go to Holyhead. If you want to have good gates and good games, see that the visiting teams are proper- ly treated. It's not sportsmanlike to throw sods after the game's over. Conway was treated like this. When Holyhead visited Bangor in the fight for the Junior Cup, I was sitting near some Holy- head supporters. My word, the language, it was awful. Also the way they shouted and promised things for Hwfa when he came to Holyhead. Go to any First League Team match and see if that is how they behave. Hoping this will have its de- sired effect upon all guilty of the above. I now close,—Yours, &c. "FAIR PLAY FOR ALL."

PREMATURE DECAY and loss of flesh. TRY THE NEW REMEDY FREE. Nobody wants to be old before their time and yet many are. Premature decay and early old-age is in the majority of cases the result of wear and tear of the tissues due to nerve affections, nervous prostration, worry, anaemia, kidney and stomach weakness, and similar troubles, loss of flesh be- coming consequent on these serious but everyday afflictions, How to combat ailments such as the above and ensure an almost perennial bloom of youth and health is now an easy matter owing to the existence of Dr. Cassell's Tablets, a new remedy evolved from the prescription of a noted specialist, and already renowned the world over for the remark- able cures effected through its agency. Obtainable at all chemists for the nominal sum of IOld., Dr. Cassell's Tablets are specific in nearly all forms of nerve and physical exhaustion and have proved in thousands of cases extraordinarily effective in restoring youth, health, and bodily vigour. In order to enable sufferers to thoroughly test this simple, yet reliable medicine, if you will cut out this paragraph, and send it to Dr. Cassell's Co. Ltd., King-street, W., Manchester, with your name and address, and two penny stamps for postage and packing, a sample box of Dr. Cassell's Tablets will I at once be sent you, in the full conviction that this great remedy will henceforth become your family medicine, as it is already in thousands of homes the world over.

The Trial of Alcohol. AMUSING SCENE AT CONWAY. WHO IS PRISONER'S FATHER?" The successful temperance crusade which has been held in the Town. Hall, Conway, during the whole of last week by Mr. Tennyson Smith, the well-known 'speaker on the drink question, was brought to a dose on Monday evening, when (Mr. Smith clinched the work he had pre- viously done in a most dramatic manner by means of a scene entitled "The Trial of Alco- hol." The previous meetings which had been held -were free, but on Monday evening the nominal charge of one shilling was made, and, as might be expected, there was a large antd enthusiastic audience. The trial of the enemy "Alcohol" was gone through in a most realistic manner. The large stage of the hall had been fitted up as a court;, with special accommodation for the twelve gentlemen, who had kindly undei* tiaken to act as jurymen. There; /were also witness boxes- and the usual other accommoda- tion to be found in a court. The meeting1 was not announced to commence until half past seven, but long before that hour practically all the seating accommodation in the spacious hall was occupied. The proceedings! opened with the ,singing of a. hymn and a short prayer, after which the curtain, was rolled up revealing the temporary court. Order" from the usher, which charac- ter was well taken by Mr. John Roberts, Lark Hill, announced the arrival of his Lordship the Judge (Councillor T. J. Williams, Bangor), who in long flowing robes and full wig, pour- trayed the nart exceedingly well. The counsel for the nrosecution was Mr. Tennyson Smith, h'Ie, Mr. 'I Roc,&r Lewis an:d? Mr. Huw C<)nway- w Jones were counsel for the defence, and the keen 'manner in which -these gentlemen cross-eacam- ined (the witnesses provoked roars of laughter, which was intensified by the frequent demands of the usher of the court for "Order. The duties of the 'Clerk of the Court were in the hands of Mr. C. Cynwal Jones. The opening formalities were extremely funny, and at times, witnesses and counsel for- got the dignity of his Lordship- and called him ,P "Your Honour" and "Your Worship." The counsel for the defence humorously objected to Mr. J. P. Griffiths being a member of the jury on the ground that he had presidled a.t several temperance meetings recently and was biassed, but the objection was withdrawn. Roars of laughter greeted the objection- of Mr. Roger Lewis to Mr. Thomas Lewis, of Bangor, on the ground thait he held strong views on the question of drink. There views Mr. Lewis (sen.) commenced to give for the benefit of His. Lordship, but the discus,sion was closed amid laughter by Mr. Roger Lewis remarking: "I know him, he is my father The gentlemen of the jury finally decided upon were 'Messrs. J. P. Griffiths, Llewelyn Jones (chemist), Hooson, J. Howe, Jones (stationmaster), Pierce Williams, J. E. Jones (Degamwy), J. Evans, and J. E. Jones (Conway). The prisoner, a small -bottle of beer, was. then brought in by tthe usher and deposited on the- floor of the' stage. Counsel for the defence said prisoner had ex- perien,ceda hard week, and he thought it should be accommodated with a chair. Mr. Tennyson Smith, counsel for the prose- cution,, .said he raised no objection to this, as, "prisoner had not a leg to stand on." (Laugh- ter.) The Judge- suggested that the charge of rob- bery and murder which "Alcohol" was charged with should! be proceeded with in Welsh, but this was ruled out of order as being against the law. Then the Judge, in his charge, to the, jury. said the prisoner "Alcohol" had been the sub. ject of controversy for many years, but they must not let anything they had read or heard influence them in the slightest degree. Some of them. might perhaps have been on friendly terms with the prisoner, and might still have some sympathy for him;, while others of them might all along have had an objection to him. but they must in that case be guided entirely by the evidence which would" be brought before them in arriv- in, at Mr. Tennyson Smith, in opening for the pro- ,ppro.a,cbe-d the matter with ?-,ecutt?i-on, sa,d he a great feeling, as it was impossible for anyone to set before the jury all the sinsi of the prisoner, but he would show that he was the blackest character that was ever brought into a court of justice. There were few criminals but what had .some good in them, but in the prisoner before them there was not one redeem- ing feature. No fewer than four hundred Acts of Parliament had been passed, not to banish him, but to make' him behave himself. Prisoner had done so much damage ,in Sundays alone that in Walles and .Scotland Acts had been passed to keep him closed up, but e-ven then in some cases he managed to escape. The constable stated that he arrested the prisoner that evening at the Mail Coach Inn, Conway, and i.n reply to counsel admitted that he had been at large a very long time. The officer stated that he had to pay before pTisoneT could be brought out of the house. He did not have much trouble with him, as he caught him round the neck in. the first instance. (Laughter.) The Rev. B. "Menai Francis was the next witness. He said he had known prisoner for many years, and had seen many instances of the wrong he had done. He also had known prisoner's father. Great amusement was caused bv counsel for the defence pressing witness for the name of prisoner's father, and this was ultimately written down. and handed to 'His Lordship. Further evidence -was given for the prosecu- tion by Messrs. John Williams, John Edwards, J.P., and Richard iowen while Mr. R. H. Pritchard was the only witness called for the defence. After the Judge's summing un. which was dead against the prisoner, the jury retired to consider their verdict, which was one of "Guilty of murder." The execution scene followed more quickly than is usually the case, the neck being knocked off the bottle in sight of the audience.

Accident to Mr. Lloyd-George. MOTORING JOLT CAUSES INJURED EYELID. 'Mr. Lloyd-George, with two friends, was motoring from Manchester to London on Sun- day, and when on a rough piece of road near Lichfield the car jumped up, and Mr. Lloyd- George was thrown against the wind-guard on the front of the car. His. head struck the guard, and the glass, cut his, left eye. On reaching Lichfield a doctor put several stitches in the eyelid:, and after being bandaged he was able to proceed to. London. On inquiry at Mr Lloyd-George's residence in London, late, on S-unday night, a correspon- dent was informed that he had arrived, and that he was much better. The wound was a rather deep cut right across, the eyelid, and might: have been) serious, as it was very clo.se to the eye. The only explanation that could be given of the. cause of the accident was- that the car want over some obstacle on the road, which made it jolt. After the accident the car pro- ceeded to it-he nearest village, and ithe chemist there advised Mr. Lloyd-George to see a local doctor. On inquiry at his residence late at night ,the information was gathered that. happily, the right hon. gentleman was not seriously hurt, and that he was not feeling any ill effects from the accident. MONDAY MORNING'S REPORT. wk. Lloyd-George wa,s much better on 'Mon- day morning. The lid of the eye which was injured was- painless, and the right hon. gentle, man hoped to attend the Board of Trade Offices ,that day. Mr. Lloyd-Geo.rge was present at a meeting of the- Cabinet on Monday afternoon. 'MR LLOYD-GEORGE'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL. ARRANGEMENTS STILL HOLD GOOD. In view of the accident -sii'staimed by Mr. Lloyd-George, M.P., while motoring, in which hi,s eyelid was badly cut, a "Liverpool Echo'' London correspondent on Tuesday asked the right hon. gentleman whether he would be able to fulfil his engagement to speak at the public demonstration on Friday evening at the Sun Hall, Liverpool, in connection with the annual conference of the National Reform Union. Mr Lloyd-George said that he was looking forward to speaking as arranged. This. will be gratify- ing to. those who have secured tickets for the meeting, as there was some apprehension that the accident might prevent Mr. Lloyd-George from being present. There has been an enor- mons demand for tickets, the desire being wide- spread to see and hear the 'right hon. gentle- man after his suces'sful intervention in labour matters.

of the game. Bangor were weak in defence, ex- Z, who,,d.id,somE? ,c,ep,tin, the cus,to,di,&n good work. He will soon make a capital keeper, and is favoured with a rare slice of luck. The for- wards pleased me, and Dicky Jones was a clever pivüte. Of course he was closely watched by the home centre-half, W. T. Jones, yet, he amused the crowd with his, tricky play, even if it was unprofitable. Bob Evans is not the player he was when in company with his clever friend, C. Bums, yet he needs watching-, as he is often dangerous. Of the homesters, the defence was in their usual grand form, and I have often maintained that this department is the best on the Coast. Who will dispute me. I have seen Collier in better form: than what he was last Saturday, and the only straight shots that were sent in seemed to baffle him. Parry was in rame form, but I do consider his actions in leaving his position to attempt scoring offten reckless. "All's well, that ends well," but a too frequent indulgence in such tacJfGS may some time spell disaster. Conlan was always safe, and kicked with rare judgement. Of the halves, they all did well, and Taylor improves each game. H. Brown, in the forward rank, is another man who shows continued improvement, and was far away the best man on the field, and shoots with deadly accuracy. Roberts, the other out- ,side man, was applauded for 'his clever centres. Rowlands worked hard, and was rightly dis- appointed in not having his goal in the first half allowed. O. B. Edwards and W. Brown were moderate. The .Swifts held on firmly to the Cup, and now enter the third round.
