(Continued from page 8). Llanrwst v. PwIlheli-Continued. every time. The visitors, owing to the pressure, and inoft being able to get through., slackened, and the Roosters made away, but they were checked by the referee, who gave Arthur Rich- ards offstide in his own half of the field. Find- ing his mistake, he' threw the ball down, and Richards got possession, and, with the aid of his fellow-forwards, made an onslaught on the de- fence, but .again the ball got stuck, and the players over-ran it. From this to the end "the visitors were undoubtedly the better team, and kept Urpa pressure, but hey could not beat Gillet until a few minutes from time, when Johnnie Williams, through clever manoeuvring, placed the ball past the keeper in a very cool fashion. The game was terminated, the result being in favour of Llanrwst by 3 goals to 2. COMMiENTS. The hour and a half was spent in mudlairkding, and by the' end of the game the playing pitch presented the appearance of a ploughed field. All the players did well, considering this fact; but special mention should be made of Gillet, who was undoubtedly the saviour of his side from a somewhat severe defeat. There wias only a .sprinkling of spectators, .and they were; all well-known enthusiasts. The condition of the field was such around the ropes that if a person .stood in the same place for some minutes .he would sink practically over the tops of his boots.

CARNARVON UNITED v. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. DEFEAT OF THE VISITORS. (BY" OVALITE.") This fixture: was played at the Oval, Carnar- von, under 'unfavourable conditions. A strong and cold wind, which blew almost across the field, marred what was in .many respects an in- teresting match. A fairly good crowd lined the ropes when the teams faced each other, in charge of Mir. Meir, Colwyn Bay, in the following order:- Carnarvon: G. H. Jones, goal; Albert Gsrdffiths and E.van Hughes, backs; Jack Wil- liams, M. Herbert, and J. Griffiths, halves; J. Jones., Hugh Roberts, Walter Jones, Tom Ro- berts, and R. II. Roberts, forwards. Llandudno Bob Lunt, goal; J. H. Jones and S. Williams, backs; H. Pearson, George Davies, and W. Edwards, halves; Cslaude Davies, W. Owen, Brookes-Evans, J. Broiwn, and W. D. Williams, forwards. Llandudno won the toss, and placed the home- sters to play towards the town goal, against the wind. Walter Jones set the ball roiling, and passed to Hugh Roberts, who raced down to- wards Lunt. Play was transferred to the home half, where Evan, Hughes was penalised for foul- ing W. Owen, the Jree kick being cleared by J. Griffiths. Tlhe visitors' outside right raced along the touch line, his final effort going a trifle wide. The goal kick was carried out of play, and from the throw in, Llandudno forced a corner, which was cleared by Walter Jones. The visitors again, took up the attack:, Birookes- Evian9 testing G. !H. Jones with a fast grouinder, which he saved. Miidfield play ensued for some time, when W. Edwards Drake away for too visi- tors., his final attemgt going behind. Play was now transferred to. the Llandudno half, Tom Roberts testing Lunt with a grounder which the custodian easily cleared. The pace now became very fast, the ball going from end to end. Stw- eral rushes were broken up by the Carnarvon halves, and fed their forwards well, but they were unaible to make headNAay;agai;nisit the Llan- dudno defence and the strong wind. However, they were able to send in some shots in the di- rection of Lunt. A fine opening was presented Llandudno, • but unfortunately one of the for- wards got offside, thus giving away a glorious opportunity. Some fine short passing was now witnessed between the home forwards, Hugh Ro- berts finally testing Liunt with a hot shot, which took him all his time to stop. The visitors now made strenuous efforts to score, but the home defence proved too good for them. Johnnie Jones, at the other end, forced a fruitless corner. J. Brown, gaining (possession of the ball, darted off towards the home goal, sending in a terrific shOot against the crossbar, the ball rebounding into play. Up came the visitors again, but Jack Williams forced W. D. William,s to place behind. The goal kick was captjuired by iBrooikes-Evans, who came' very near scor- ing. 'The visitors soon returned to the at- tack, Albert Griffiths clearing a dangerorus rush. Play was now transferred to the Llandudno half, where Hugh Roberts and Walter Jones nearly did the trick. The homesters still kept up the pressure, and experienced the worst of luck on several occasions. They continued to press, 'Hugh Roberts sending wide. The, game now became rather uninteresting, owing to the wind talking the ball continually over the touch line. Half-time was called with the ball in midfield, the score stanfdjiing at: Carnarvon, o; Llandudno-, o. Restarting, Tom Roberts raced up towards Lunt, only to be fouled when in front of an open goal. The referee. at ornce granted the homesters a penalty. The kick was taken by Evan Hughes, who sent in. a fast groiumder. iLunt, who was dancing about the goal, luckily fel Ion the ball aind in his excitement, he nearly threw the ball through his own goal. The corner was cleared by J. H. Jones. Gaining possession of the ball, the homesters made for the Llandudno, goal, where Tom Roberts scored, but was ruled offside. The homesters were in no way downhearted, and severely pressed on the visitors. A corner was forced by R. H. Roberts, the kick (being headed over by Tom Roberts. Carnarvon had now settled down in the Llan- dmdrno half. A fine display by Walter Jones gave Tom Roberts, an opportunity of scoring, and the latter made full use of it, for his. shot crashed against the upright and landed at the other end of the net, while Luoit could do no- thing but look at it. The homesters were now pleased with them- selves, and were swarming .round Liunt before he had quite recovered, from his. shock. How- ever, the ball was carried behind by the wind. From now to the end the homesters could do anything but score. They were continually robbed of chance .after chance, owing to' the ball being carried out of play. Llandudno made z) several desperate efforts to equalise, and man- aged to tesrt G. H. Jones on two or three occa- sions, but to no avail. At the other end, Car- narvon forced several corners, which produced some excitement in the Llandudno goalmouth., but nothing tangible resulted. A combined run between R. H. Roberts and Tom Roberts re- sulted i ntJhe former forcin.g a corner, which was headed past Lunt into the net by Evan Hughes. From the centre. Carnarvon still kept up the pressure. Goal kicks were plentiful, the wiind carrying the ball behind continually. Time was called, leaving Carnarvon the winners. Final: Carnarvon, 2; Llandudno, o. « COMMENTS. The game seemed to. be more like a friendly than a Leaigue fixture. Lunt, the Llandudno custodian, caused some fun when Tom Roberts turned a somersault over him. Very little can be said albout the two teams, as they were han- dicapped by the wind. Combination and plac- ing was quite impossible.

CONWAY v FESTINIOG. GAMiE IN A GALE. THE HOME CUSTODIAN SCORES. (BY RAMBLER.} Festiniog visited Conway on Saturday in a return League fixture. When they met the pre- vious Saturday at Festiniog, the Con.wayites won by two goals, and it was confidently hoped that they would now capture another brace of points, having the advantage of their own ground A perfect hurricane was blowing along the football ground, and under such conditions, it was impossible to command the ball, and the game, from start to finish was a farce. The League Secretary had charge of the game, the following players composing the te,arps,: festiniog: Joe Hughes, goal; W. R. Jones, ajnd Tom Hughes, backs; Moses Roberts, Wil- liam Jones, and Hugh Jones, halves; John Hughes, Owen Roberts., Robert Roberts, John Hughes, and Ned Griffiths, forwards. Conway: Lilew Parry, goal; Tom Jones and O. Ellis, backs; Shem Jones,, Bob Owen, and T. Thompson, halves; Craven, Atherton, Arthur Owen, Sam Parry, and Stone, forwards. « Bob Owen, after winning the toss, at once settled the issue of the game, for he played to- wards the river goal, with the'terrific wind at his back. Robert Roberts started the game, passing to his. right, but Stone got the pass, thanks to the wind, and Joe. Hughes saved a rasping shot from Sam Parry. All the home players were swarming round .Hughes, the most prominent being Llew Parry, the home custod- ian. From a throw in on the right, Festiniog tried to forge ahead, but Thompson at. once drove them back, and Joe Hughes, was seen at his best. After saving a grand shot by Ather- ton, he wlas defeated by Arthu-r Owen but it must be .said that this point was. rather doubt- ful, the visitors claiming that the ball had not passed over the goal line. A moment later, Tom Jones sent in a terrific high shot which went over the bar. A sudden breakaway by the vrstitorrls saw Hughes and Griffiths, travel against the wind, but the latter skied the ball, which was. back in his own goal in a moment, and a Fes- tiniog pliay eir obliged with a second point. Flag kicks were plentiful just now, but the majority of these went behind. Tom Jones placed an accurate corner kidk, and Arthur Owen notched a third. All the players were now in a cluster round Hughes, and it was really wonderful bow he kept some shots out, high and low, left and right, but the ex-Conwayite- could not be beaten for some time. Nrrl,d he was. only defeated once moire before the interval, and the one that did this trick, was Lilew-P(arry, the home custodian. Though having such a lead of four goals, the Blues, or rather Reds, on this occasion, kept up the fiercest pressure on the visiting goal; but the whistle sounded for coffee time, to the re- lief of all. Though facing the, elements during the second moaety, the homesters at once got dangerous. Craven, racing away on the right, finally sent in an accurate centre, which Arthur Owen met to cenvert, but offside was declared, and this chance was lost. The visitors now had a spell of pressing, but Bob. Owen and Ellis were equal to all,,Ihe attack's. A flying visit to tfhe Festiniog goal by Craven was, spoilt by Atberton getting offside, and a moment later a rasping shot by Stone, which glided along the crossbar, was missed by Craven. A determined attack by the visitors, almost brought about the downfall of the home goal. Llew Parry fumbled the ball, and but for Bob Owen, would have been defeated. The visitors were now woirking in earnest. For talking a centre from Ned Griffiths, John Hughes had hard lineis, when he lifted the ball over the bar, Ned Griffiths, a moment later, repeating the slame. thing. There was now only a minute to play, when the visi- tors again came away on the right, and as the ball appeared to be going out, Lleiw Parry sig- e z, nalled to Tom Jones to let the, ball alone, but this act caused the home Slider goal, for John Hughes rushed rOlund Tom Jones and flashed the ball across the goalmouth, and in a moment Owen Roberts lifted the sphere over Lleiw Parry's head. The ball had barely left the centre when the whistle sounded. Players and specta- tors were. glad of the welcome sound., an unin- teresting game ending thus Conway, 4; Festiniog, 1.

Football Notes. (BY "VIGILANT.") I was not able to give my readers the full reporr,t of the North Wales Coast Association meeting held last Wednesday night in Colwyn Bay owing to great pressure upon our space. I ibherefore will give my readers a few of the most important things that occurred during the sitting. I mutst first of all say that never was there such a dignified tone attached to the As- sociation as at present. Mr. Hughes is a courteous chairman. r. J. W. Post a valued and admirable treasurer, and Mr. J. LI. Wil- liams (when he does not forget to send out notices to. the Press) is a zealous Secretary. Then we had Mr. Peircy Weekes, who is chair- man of the League; Uncle Lloyd, of Con- way the loquacious Mir. Vincent, of Llan- dudno the far-seeing Mr. Willman, of Bangor, and Mr. Hugh Heap, of Colwyn Bay. Llandudno is encouraging schoolboys' foot- ball, and a shield is to be offered as the prize. The Association agreed to pay 214 guineas to- wands the project. The number of members of the Association was. increased by the admission of Llantfairfechan and Rhyl Church Guild. A very justifiable, complaint was read from Blaenau Festiniog respecting a League that ex- ists in that town which is an unauthorised one-, and calculated to do mulch harm to the Coast League Qluib of that town. It was decided to warii, those players who may be disposed to play in that League, as the punishment would be very severe. And quite right, too. < < In the Senior Cup draws for the semi-final two very important matches, will be seen at Bangor and Llandudno. The first will be on February 6th, when the Canaries will meet the Puffins. I pan guarantee those, who are able to go and see the match that it will be a fine one—weather, of course, permitting. The second semi-final takes place on the Llandudno ground a fortnight later, when the Conway Jackdaws will engage either Holywell or Greenfield. By the way, the thousand spectators who witnessed the match at .Greenfield on Saturday failed to see a finish, and the issue has yet to be decided. This, match will also create, much interest. The Junior Clup of the Coast, of which the Roosters are holders, will see Barmouth versus Bangor Reserves at Carnarvon on January 30th, and the holders versus Colwyn Bay, Denbigh, or Greenfield, at Llandudno, or Colwyn Bay on February 13th. The miserably muddled cup-tie between Colwyn Bay and Denbigh will for the third time of meeting be decided, it is hoped, on Saturday next. » Pwllheli's protest against Barmouth being de- clared winners, of the cup-tie was unsustained. It was evident that the Penguins' case, accord- ing to .the evidence that was brought forward of a rebutting character, was exaggerated, and Barmouth were declared the winners of the match. < < The failure of the referee to turn up at the Cblwyin Bay v. Denbigh match was, in my opinion, far too. leniently dealt with. To fine, a man—iMr. John Roberts, of Bangor—for causing all the trouble, expense, and irritation only five shillings seems, almost a burlesque. I sympathise very much with the, two. teams that have been so umlkindly treated. A man losesi his, train, writes a letter to say so., and is let off with 5s. Another referee is two. minutes, late and is fined is. I think, if only as a warning to others, a fine of 2os. should have at least been made. This, brings me to. the point that Mr. D. H. Hughes, the Secretary of Denbigh, raised, and that was if a ciluib is late, in arriving at the scene of play it is properly fined, but if a referee fails to turn up he is. let off lightly. Why should this be so? Aye, indeed, why?

North-Western Railway Promotions. We have previously announced the appoint- ment of Mr. Frank Ree to. be general manager of the London and North-Western Railway. Mir Ree takes up his new duties as from February I St. He is succeeded in the position of chief goods manager by Mir. Carl E. Grasemann. Mr. Grasemann, who was. bom, in 1856, entered the service of the company in London. He rose by rapid stages until, in 1885 he became assistant to the London district goods manager. In 1891 he succeded the latter, and in 1893, in the changes, following upon the death of Sir George Findiay, he was appointed assistant to the chief goods manager, to have supervision of the work- ing traffic of the company's system of Crewe, including the South Wales and other branches. In connection with the scheme for conciliation and arbitration, on the hours, and wages of the staff, he has had charge of the company's case affecting all departments of service. Mr Thomas Sihaw has been appointed to succeed Mr. Grase- mann. Mr. Shaw, who was. educated at Charter- house, and King's, College, London, entered the company's, service in Dublin, but he was. shortly afterwards transferred to. England. Then he was appointed assistant Jo Mr. Bingham, the district goods manager in Liverpool, on his retirement in 1902. Mr. Lancelot W. HOífne is to take, up the position of goodsi manager of the Liverpool district. Mr. Home was educated at Shrews- burry School, and his career in the company's service has. been, marked by rapid promotion. In 1902 he was. appointed district superintendent in Manchester, and three years later he was placed in charge of the passenger and goods working of the Chester and Holyhead division. Twelve months ago he was entrusted with the passenger working of the Birmingham division.

Dean Vaughan as a punstier is unfamiliar, but he appears in that aspect in Mir. Lionel Tollem,ache's Old and New Memories." The story runs that a portrait painter was question- ing Vaughan about the clerical distictions of another man. "IHel wears, a hood or band, which looks as if he had taken a university de- gree," said the artist, but there, is no. record of one against his name in Croic,kfo,rd.' Can this be an omissil"on? "No," ,replied Vaughan; I fear we must call it a false-hood, or shall we say a contra-band?

Football Chips. (By "VIGILANT.") That the chief attraction in Coast League foot- ball was centred in Beaumaris on Saturday. Excitement tip-top Toot a strong Bangor team were there to. try and inflict the first League defeat of the season on the Puffins. That the Homeris failed. That. Beaumaris are still the cocks of the walk." That they were decidedly deserving of their success. That Biangor s two goals were penalty ones. That the dash and swinging play of Bangor, uauially seen, was absent. 'That nevertheless they were a fine side, which makes the Beauis' victory all the more glorious. That the game was not by any means a classy .one. That the supreme importance of victory on this occasion and the consequent anxiety mili- tated against classy play. That the ground was also against good play owing to the unsettled weather of the week. That the tournament was graced by the pre- sence of many charming ladies. That I am sorry our snap-shot artist was not there to take a picture that depicted the expres- sion of joy on Mr. R. E. Briercliffe's counten- ance. That I congratulate Beaumaris on their win. That it levels up the quality of play in sir Fon. What say you, Percy? That it will be. a change to see the champion- ship go to a new place for a change. That the Chief-Steward of the Liner" WTiite Lion" (Johnnie by .name) is a regular handy and pleasant little chap. That he had a lot to please on Saturday, and did it well. Iechyd da i ti, Johnnie bach That Mir. Jack Butler, of Baron Hill, missed the- match. That though he is -a, chauffeur, he was not en- gaged in seeking Miss. C. That there was some frequent shooting, other- wise than, with the ball, heard during the game. That Messrs. Robert Thompson (chief) and Levi Roberts, Hugh Roberts, and William Jones were the delinquents. That the old Bangor player, Johnnie Stewart, did two- dives into the Straits at Bangor Pier and Beaumaris. Pier. That Johnnie does not mind cold baths. That Fielding Richards did some good work ini goal for the Beaus. That W. Williams and Sam Davies defended well. That Taylor had his work cut out. That Levi Jones was powerful and effective. That W. J. Jones played a magnificent game. That it was. the first time I saw Dai Davies, and his play was as good as I had anticipated. That Dick Humphreys was capital. That W. 0. H. was fine. That Smedley was. a terror. 'That Sam Poole was cool. That O. R. Jones, for Bangor in goal, was splendid. That I have seen Hwfa and D. J. T. far better. Was it over confidence? That W. Jones, and T. A. Griffiths were ex- cellent. That H. J. Davies as. centre half had an in- satiable. appetite for gluttonous. work. That he did it, too. That Hughie Owen and Charlie Burns were a good right wing, but met a very tough defence. That Dargie was not so brilliant as expected. That some of his work was lip-top. That Hughie Davies was a grand worker, and combined well with Edgar Lloyd Jones. That Mr. Miller, the referee, gave general satisfaction. That local footballers, would be glad to see the Cestri.in acting again. That the Sealarks drew with the Gulls on Saturday. Hardly good enough, C.B. That Holyhead are playing up lately. That Roland's remarks re spectators at the Oval have surprised many. That in the interests, of the game committee- men of every club should endeavour to quiet any attempt at hooliganism that may show its head on any field of play. That the Canaries defeated the Cormorants by 2-0. That Johnnie Williams and Jacob Williams were absentees in the Cormorants' ranks. That Claude Davies wilJ make a good mem- ber of the C,oTmoi-ants' team. That Llandudno have a tough task at Holy- head next Saturday in the Welsh Amateur Cup- tie. That the Canaries have another at Bangor. That the, Jackdaws gained another two much- needed points in a gale on Saturday on the Morfa. That poor Blaemau Festiniog have yet to win a matoh. That there were 1,000 spectators at Greenfield on Saturday, when HolyweU met the Green Ones in the Coast Senior Cup-tie. That the issue is as yet undecided. That the replay will enhance the interest. That the Green Ones had George Petrie as outside right. That S. J. Frost partnered him. That D. Parry was the pivot. That R. 0. Griffiths, and Joel Bennett made the left wing. That these five are a good attacking force. That the Hoilywell names, are. strange to, me; but there is a Prince among them. That Bellwood, of Beaumaris, was married last week. Sweet chiming bells an dmuch happi- ness to thee. That I am very grateful to An Old Player for his letter in support of my arguments re cup-tie teams. That the friends of Mr. George Mieklewright will regret to learn that he lies seriously ill at Old Colwyn. That Geomge is a Vice-President of the Llan- dudno Amateurs, and was an enthusiast of the first water. That the 'Holyhead forwards were better than those of the Bay. That Tom MlcCann scored from a penalty and missed a penalty. That Walter Parry and Ned Griffiths scored for the Bay. That J. Jones and R. C. Jones (2) scored for Holyhead. iThat Holyhead protested strongly against the Bay's second goal, and their linesman rushed on the field and upheld their contention. They allege that Ned Roberts fisted the ball. That McC'ann played very well. That Ned Roberts was successful as inside right. That the Bayites were the better team against the wind. Terrible wind. Impossible to place .the ball for a goal kick. That the Holyhead players were very anxious ,to hear the result of the B. and B. match. That they had arranged for a telegram to. be sent to the Bay. That when it came disappointment was writ large on their countenances. Why, I wonder? That it was impossible to. properly judge the Players on their form in this kick and rush match. That the. Roosters put another spoke in the wheel of progress of the Penguins -at Gwydyr Park on Saturday. That Gwilym calls the. game one of mud- larking. And I believe him. That on such occasions to extract football proper from a team is a very hard, and well- night impos,sible thong. That the early brilliance of the Penguins has been seriously dimmed lately.

Coming to the players, G. II. Jones, in goal for Carnarvon, during the latter half, was a mere spectator of the game. Albert Griffiths and Evan Hughes were as safe as ever. There was not nnuch to choose between the halves, Jack Williams feeding his wing imen well, Herbert's jotting being fine ,while J. Griffith's'is tackling wias as good as, ever. The forwards were bested by the wind. Of the losers, Lunt played a good game, but he did not get much to do. J. H. Jones. was the best of the defence. He undoubtedly saved the downfall of his goal, on several occasions.. S. Williams, also, played well, but he was not very safe. Tihe,re was, but little, if any, to choose betwieen the three halves, as all played well and hard. The same remarks miuisit be made about the forward line as those of Carnarvon.
