BEAUMARIS v. CONWAY. THE PUFFINS AGAIN VICTORIOUS. (By" RAMBLER.") Conway were the visitors to Beaumaris on Saturday, the occasion being the return League match. "When the Beaumarisians visited Con- way they won, after a hard game, by a margin of 4-1. The Jackdaws were confident when they took the field on Saturday of obtaining a point, if not two; but what appeared at one period of the game a prospect of capturing a poinit was thrown away by inferior refereeing. It is fully time that capable men should be appointed to take charge of such, an important game as this. During certain periods the homesiters were allowed to do. anything they liked with the ball. In fact, it resembled Rugby, and not Association football; and while the game proceeded at one end of the field the re- feree was at the other end. Another fault on the part of the referee was, if the spectators claimed anything, such a claim was at once granted, whether he would be in a position to see for himself or not. But his most serious mistake was when he reversed his decision after a penalty goal had been awarded. m The ground was heavy, and a stiff breeze was blowing towards the entrance goal, when Mir. E. Lloyd Williams took charge of the follow- ing teams: — tt Conway: Llew Parry, goal; W. Hughes and O. Ellis backs Johnson, Bob Owen, and Arthur Owen, halves; Craven, R. T. Williams, Atherton, Breeze, and Sam Parry, forwards. Beaumaris: F. Richards, goal; Sam Davies and W. G. Williams, backs; D. G. Rowlands, Levi Jones, and W. Taylor, halves; D. E. Davies, Matthews, W. M. Jones, A. Smedley, and H. Evans, forwards. Beaumaris, after winning the toss, played up the slope and against the wind. Atherton started for the Blues,. Almost from the centre Llew Parry receive-da rasping shot from Morgan Jones, which the little man got out of danger, and the visitors got going per Sam Parry, Ather- ton lifting Sam's centre over the bar. From the goal kick the Reds went off in a line, Davies sending across a centre, wlidch Smedley banged iÎJnto goal with terrific force, Llew Parry saving under difficulty. A flying run by Graven was now seen, and he was on the corner flag-line when he banged across the goalmouth, Atherton sending over the bar. The game was evenly contested, both goals being visited. After about ten minutes' play the Beaumaris- ians opened the score, Harry Eivarns doing the trick from a centre by Matthews. A capital chance to draw level by Bfreeze was spoilt by Williams punting imtoi touch. But the Blues could not be driven away, Breeze sending in a terrific drive, which Richards only just man- aged to clear. A miskick by Don Rowlands let in Craven, who senrt in a shot, which was brested into the net by Atherton. After this the game opened out, the most prominent players being Craven and Atherton. After a visit towards Llew, where Matthews and Smed- ley were prominent, a claim for a penalty was ignored by the referee, and Sam Parry raced away, and a golden opportunity was missed by Atherton to take the lead. Davies and Matthews got away with the ball, and passed to. Smedley, who promptly netted. The visitors after this seemed to fall off some- what, and the visiting goal was subjected to fearful pressure. Matthews was going well for goal, when he was charged, ball and all, over. A penalty was. granted. Llew Parry saved the kick, and threw out, but the ball, coming to. Smedley, he netted. The game was now delayed, as the visitors threatened to leave the ground. Llew Parry contending that Smedley was over the line when the ball was played. After abauit ten minutes' delay the visitors came back, and the game was proceeded with. But instead of going on with the game the referee ordered the penalty kick to be re-taken, and this after the ball had been put on the centre mark. A very curious point. However, Williams scored with this second kick, and now the game became díulH, coffee time arriving with the score 3-1 in favour of Beaumaris. Having the slope in their favour the homesters went away with a dash, Llew Parry bringing off some very clever saves. Morgan Jones took a pass from Matthews and scored a fourth goal. Though three goals behind, the visitoirs were not at all disheartened. Craven went off on the right, Atherton converting his centre. But soon after Morgan. Jones came away for the Beaus, and, tackled by Ellisi, deliberately handled the ball, and though the latter claimed for hands Morgan Jones ran through and scored. Before the end Morgan Jones added another, and Levi Jones scored a seventh, which was the best goal of the day. COMMENTS. No one will doubt that the winners were the best team, butt the losers did not get fair play. There is not five goals difference between the two teams. Perhaps, the time will come, and that this season, when it can be proved. With a capable referee, a fine game would have been witnessed. A game of football should be fol- lowed by the man in charge, and not as was the case last Saturday. It was simply the. spec- tators that ruled the game. This is not how tilings ought to be. I have nothing but praise for the Beaumaris team. They are a fine lot of players, and were a better side than the visitors. Richards: had not much work to do in goal, but I think he ought to have stopped both goals which defeated him. Davlies was far ahead of Williams. The latter was not the man I saw him when he played against Car- narvon at Bangor on February oth. Taylor was not up to form on this occasion, but Levi Jones and Rowlands were grand. The forward rank was simply brilliant, and not a weak spot could be foroaid in the quintette. < « The losers played far bellow their usual form. Llew Parry played hard, and saved some awk- ward shots. Of the backs, Ellis was, as, usual, a tower of strength to his side, but Hughes was very weak. The half division was not at all strong. Arthur Owe-n was the pick, though he had a smart wing to watch. Bob Owen was very erratic, but Johnson cleverly fed his wing to a nicety. The visiting forwards played well, but Williams was, too. slow for Craven on the right. Atherton came out of his, shell as pivot. Conway have now finished all their away en- gagements, and have five home League matches, and out of these they should capture some points.

Football Chips. (By" VIGILANT.") That Colwyn Bay won their appeal to the Welsh Association against the decision of the, Coast Association in awarding the Junior Cup- tie of the Coast to Denbigh, owing to the al- leged playing of an ineligible player, Ted Roberts. That the appeal was heard on Saturday even- ing at the Holbom Restaurant, Chester. That there were a baker's dozen of witnesses present to apeak of the injustice meted out to Colwyn Bay, That whatever may be said by the Coast As- sociation as to. giving their decision upon. the weight of evidence," then before them, I am of opinion they should have adjourned the'matter for further prooif and saved the Bay the great expense they have bee* put to' before giving such a drastic decision. That Mr. J. Ll. Williams endeavoured, to the best of his ability, to vindicate the action of the Coast Association. That there was a lot of sentiment in his ap- peal to the Welsh Association as to the length Off his services on the Council and that he had always done his duty. That the meeting was not dealing with Mir. Williams's virtues, but the fact whether the man alleged to be at Greenfield on November 21 st was there or not? That it is gratifying to have such a squabble n cled. That the Puffins returned to their ground at Beaumaris on Saturday after an absence of six weeks, and were heartily received by their sup- porters. That it was strange to see the brothers Hum- phreys on the ground as spectators. That the Beaumaris Committee did wise to rest W. J. Jones, Dick Humphreys, and Sam Poole in view of yesterday's replay in the Coast Senior Cup semi-final at Bangor. That Morgan Jones scored three goals in his first appearance on the Beaus' ground this season. That Richards, in the second half, played for- ward, Williams going in goal. That Don was good at left half. That Taylor returned to, form. -That Matthews, and Die Davies formed a good right wing. 'That Morgey Jonesey was a good pivot. That Smed. and Evans on the left were neglected, and did not shine. That Secretary McElwee is, away, but is happy. That the ladies were in attendance, as usual, in charge of Tom Hughes. That the Old Brigade of good sports were th-,re-Mesis,rs. Thompson, Marchant, Constable, Mackenzie, and Treasurer Worth. 'That the Puffins have a good supporter in Mr. Williams, of Menai Bridge. He is W. G.'s father. That the Puffins are very unlucky lately two players ordered off the field, three on the in- jured list, and four points. lost. That Newcastle United will visit Beaumaris if they win the next round of the cup. That a certain Beaumaris player is to' have a trial with Manchester United shortly. That Rambler denounces the refereeing at Beaiuimaris of the Secretary of the League. That it would be well to have E. Ll. W.'s ex- planation. That mussels and soup will have to be re- newed as trainiing things at Conway. 'That Coin,way had not their best team on. That all the same 7-2 wtill help the goal aver- age of the Beaus, which may mean a lot at the end of the season. That the Canaries threw out the Cormorants of the Welish Amateur Cup at Llandudno, on Saturday. That wind spoilt the game. That Calrnarvon had only one change from their Coast Cup team, )That Mir. R. D. Richards, of Bangor, re- fereed, and gave every satisfaction. That Jones in goal for the Canaries was up- to-date. That the Canaries must be considered lucky to have won. That the Cormorants in the second half forced numerous corners, and did evlerytihng but score. That the second half was greatly in favour of the home side. That the tactics of certain- Carnarvon players in repeatedly kicking out called for the con- demnation of their own supporters, of whom there was a good number upon the ground. That an unusual scene was enacted at the end of 'the game, when some irresponsible specta- tors tried t0' hustle certain of the Canary p layers. That such conduct deserves the greatest censure. That the game must be kept free from such blemishes. That I was decidedly pleased with the diis- play of Coinnah's Quay at 'Chester on Saturday in the Welsh Cup-tie semi-final. That the Wrexham-Birmingham Leaguers are a fine set. That they did not appropriate themselves to cup-tie tactics.

Llandudno Field Club. A VISIT TO LLANDDULAS. A party of the Llandudno* and District Field Club took part in an excursion on Saturday to. Llanddiulas. Here they visited the church of St. Cymbryd at the invitation of Canon C. F. Roberts, the Rector, who. gave an account of its history. The present church, built in 1869, by Mrr. Hesketh, of Gwrych Castle, follows the pattern of the old churches of North Wales in having a double nave. It superseded a smaller building of the early Welsh type. It stands upon what was formerly meadow land, but was included in the enlarged churchyard, and when the ground was excavated for the foundations a large number of human remains were dis- covered, probably those of men slain in one of the great battles fought in the neighbourhood. According to the note in the new volume on Welsh Saints, by the Rev John Fisher, Cymbryd, the patron saint, was martyred in the, fifth cen- tury, his festival being on March 19th, while that of the English saint, Guithbert, is on March 20th. William Salesibuiry considered Cymbryd to be the Welsh form of Guthbert. The word Cymbryd means, prototype or model. The records of the parish give the names of suc- cessive rectors, since 1537. When the old church was demolished in 1869 a number of stone mem- orial tablets from the interior were set up in the boundary wall of the churchyard, where they are now rapidly being defaced by the weather. After the visit to the church the party were led by Mr. W. Bezant Lowe on a geological ramble up the picturesque' Dulas valley, where very distinct signs of the track of a glacier which, once filled it we,re pointed out.

Cambridge Welsh Research Society. This Society held its first meeting on Friday. A large number of the Welsh-speaking students of the Cambridge Welsh Society came together. In the Welsh Society the vernacular is always used, and there has been a growing desire among the Welsh section to' follow the lines of the Dafydd ap Gwilym Society of Oxford. It is the intention of the newly formed Society to, do some research work in the Welsh collec- tions appertaining to. Wales at the University Library and College Libraries, and papers bear- ing on this work will be read occasionally at the Welsh Society. A long discussion took place as to' the field of research, and, on the suggestion of one of the members, it was de- cided to. seek the advice of the three Welsh professors in the Welsh University, and Sir John Rhys., of Oxford. The Welsh Sunday services are increasing in DODularitv and numbers, and Welsh people, even from seven to eight miles around Cam- bridge, attend. Mr. Richard Lloyd George is the prime mover in the matter. During the terms-the Rev. Elvet Lewis, the Rev. T. Htuws Davies (London), and the Rev. D. Srtephlenls (Chestnut College) have preached, and during the remainder of the term the Rev. Herbert Morgan (London) and Mr. William Jones, M.P' are to speak.

More Colwyn Bay Amusements. VICTORIA PIER SCHEME. ROiL!L,ER-S.KATFN G IN THE OPEN AIR. The Directors of the Victoria Pier and Pavilion are determined, soi far as money and enterprise on their part can do it, to. keep Col- wyn. Bay in the very fore-front of British re- sorts. They are not satisfied with eclipsing the at- tractions of North Wales watering-places, but they are resolved to secure for Colwyn Bay a premier poslitiorn amongst all the resorts of the United Kingdom. An 3Jmbitious scheme for the summer season, ie with this desirable end in view, had already c been decided, upon—as announced in these columns—when the, Board of Directors found a way of even going one better." They have de- cidied upon a scheme which will undoubtedly add very considerably to' Colwyn. Bay's popu- larity during the approaching season. The latest scheme, briefly described, is as fol- lows. The Directors have decided to. put down a special floor on the Pier extension for roller- skating. The area covered will be about 15,000 square feet, and the floor which is being laid down specially is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. The Directors are so. impressed with the pos- sibilities of the scheme that they are sparing no. expense with a view to providing a most attractive rink. A great feature will be the fact that it will be an .open-air rink, which in the summer time mluist prove an added SiOlUTce of pleasure to. the many visitors, not only at Colwyn Bay, but at the other watering-places, along the, Coast. In fact, there will be nothing like it either on. this Coast or anywlhere, else in the country. The Directors contemplate, further, having an additional orchestra in uniform for morning, afternoon, and evening on the rink, and that orchestra will consist of first-rate musicians, SO that the Company will this year have a double orchestra of over fifty" pe.rf.OMners, including the Diana tor the raviiaon. It is also their intention to. hold carnivals, and fetes and to provide a special department for refreshments, -so that visitors will be able to obtain all they may require on the premises of the sikating-rink. The contract for laying the special floor, which will be almost lake a piece of polished ebony, has been let, and operations will be commenced within a week, and the whole will be completed for rinking puinpoises by Good Firday. The contractors are under a heavy penalty to com- plete it by then, and the Company intend woek- ing day and night in order to. have the refresh- ment department and alil accessories ready by Good Friday. On the next day, Saturday, it is hoped that the opening of the rink may take place under the most favourable auspices. This departure on the, part of the Directors, they feel satisfied, will prove a greater advertise- ment for Colwyn Bay than anything that has been done for selveral years past; as everybody knows, skating on the, Pier will possess a greater fascination, for people of all ages and of both sexes. The additional amusement will require an increased ,staff of oiver twenty, including the rink-manager, skating tutors, attendants, and skate-boys. It is the intention, of the Directors to erect a special band-stand above the Pier, midway be- tween the comeminicement and the end of the rink, thereby securing for the sikaters the benefit of the delightful music which will be rendered. Undoubtedly the people of Colwyn Bay will be pleased to' learn of this excellent scheme, which must do much towards the. success of the corning season.

An offer by the Vice-Chairman to place his grounds at Plas yn Dre at the disposal of the Com- mittee for the holding of an entertainment during the summer was accepted with thanks, and a sub- committee consisting of the following members was appointed to arrange the details :—The Chair- man, Messrs. W. H. Williams, E. Mills, Robert Williams, W. Lloyd Jones, W. E. Jones, and Father Trebaol. A scheme submitted by Mr. Halhed, J.P., Bryn Derwen, having for its object the improvement of the Library and other branches, was considered, and the Chairman, Treasurer, and the two Secre- taries were appointed to meet Mr. Halhed to further discuss the subject, and to report on the same to the Committee.
