COAST JUNIOR LEAGUE. DENBIGH RESERVES v. RUTHIN. RUTHIN'S UNBKATEN CERTIFICATE. (BY ANONYMOUS.") On Saturday, at Denbigh. Prior to Saturday Ruthin were unbeaten, in, the League, and the Reserves were keenly desirous of winning, but were unable to do so, Ruthin scrambling home by the narrowest of margins, and so Ruthin can now claim to have created almost a record by going through a I-eague,season without suffering defeat, or even dropping a point. Mr. W. Griffiths, Colwyn Bay, was the referee, and the teams were: Denbigh Reserves: J. W. Jones, goal; D. Hughes and E. T. Williams (captain), backs; H. Cartwrigiht, C. Myddleton, and W. Johnson, half-backs; J. Tuckfield, Fred Lloyd, Leonard Lewis, R. Williams, and George Lewis, for- wards. Ruthin Town: J. Mostyn, goal; J. Thomas and Thomas Edwards, backs; E. H. Hum- phreys, Goronwy Rowlands (captain), and F. Griffiths, half-backs W. Goodwin, T. W. Wil- liams, E. Huissin, W. Mostyn, and E. E. Peake, forwards. Ruthin won the toss and played towards the quarry end. The Reserves opened with alacity and soon got within, shooting distance of Mos- tyn, who, however, only had one shot to deal with during the first twenty minutes, not one of the several sent in his direction being on the mark, and a mis-shot was signalled at each, at- tempt. Play was fairly interesting, and the homesters held the advantage, although Ruthin inaugurated some pretty work, and they got within appreciable distance of J. W. Jones, but here again the shooting was at fault. Eventu- ally, Herbert Cartwright, from a long range, found the goal with a "fluky" shot, which Mos- tyn carried in in trying to stop. Play gradu- allly detoriated after this, and only half-hearted attempts were made by either side. Towards the call for half-time Goodwin, from a pass by Williams, got away and centred. Hussin met the ball with his head, and diverted it into the net, while Jones looked on, seemingly lost in admiration of the feat. The teams crossed over with the scores level (I-I). The wiseacres thought that, with the slope, to aid them, Ruthin would monopolise the play, but it was the other way about, the Reserves. penning their more doughty opponernts in their goal. Ruthin made a, brief incursion into the home territory, and a penalty kick was given against H. Cartwright, and from which J. Thomas scored with a shot which could easily have been stopped by J. W. Jones, if he had at- tempted to do so-, as the ball simply rolled into the net. The Reserves played up with a cour- age born of despair after this reverse, but could not score, however hard they tried. Final: Ruthin, 2; Denbigh Reserves, 1. < COMMENTS. There are no, two' opinions, of what ought to have been the result, and that was, that the Juniors should have won. They had the result in their keeping from the start, but did not take advantage, but let many chances go. abegging. Jones, in goal, should have saved both shots, and is evidently unfitted for a goalkeeper's place. The backs played well, E. T. Williams being in exceptionally fine form. Myddleton took the eye' in the half-back line, with the others doing effective work. The fOlrwarrdis played well, but R. Williams spoilt the effective- ness of the quintette by being very slow in; his movements, although he kept the wings' well fed. The Lewises, on the left wing, were par excel. lence, and Tuckfield played well on the right, Lloyd being a useful partner. J. Mostyn was grand, and saved numerous shots and difficult situation, and was exception- ally brilliant in the second half. Jack Thomas, the veteran, was the equal of any on the field, and Edwards, a brother to J. E. Edwards., Den- bigh's pivot, put in excellent defensive work. Humphreys was the best of the half-backs, and Griffiths played well, considering that he was out of position. The forwards were inclined to mediocrity, their work being faulty, but headed by Hussin, they did a few good things.

Football Chips, (BY "VIGILANT.") That I apologise to the Canaries for the error of stating, in the last issue, that Beaumaris topped the League. That the mistake arose through being misin- formed as to the result of the Denbigh-Carnar- von match. That the Canaries are still at the head of the table, with more matches played than the Puffins. That the race between the two teams for the championship of the League is becoming very interesting. That there were some strange scenes at the 'Llandudno- cup-tie on .Saturday. That there was a tremendous pent-up feeling amongst some of the Cbnovium supporters, that hungered for victory, and which was mast extra- ordinary. That one enthusiast was on his knees praying for the ball to go into the Greenfield net. And it did. The strange scene which followed baffles description. Another enthusiast burst his boot lace by jumping with joy. That this joy arose from the unexpected win, and which was quite natural from a Conway point of view. That for the winners, Llew Parry, in goal, was good, but methinks suffered from a tension of excitement, and so. did all the other players for that. That I fancy Tom Jones (who played the neat- est and most sportsmanlike game I ever saw him engaged in.) was the coolest. That Now Ellis was a sturdy player. That Bob Owen, suffering as he was, from in. disposition, played a really gallant game, free from any shady tactics. That Bob is much to be praised for ao. pleas- ingly continuing to play under such cornditions,. That Johnson. I admired for his good placing. Here is a player that will improve on every suc. ,cessive match. That Thompson was one of the best halves of the day. Vigorous and timely. That Craven was. poor in, the first half, and capital in the latter portion of the game. Still I think he should lob the ball into the centre whilst on the run, and not wait to get into the corner, when several players, get to him, and he is handicapped. A very easy thing to rectify and of immence advantage to his side. That Atherton was middling. That Ernie, of Conway fame, was not so bril- liant as I had expected. That the Llandudno Ernie did well, consider- ing he is a new player, and not the least effec- tive player in the forwards. That he Chase (d) the ball several times Peers- wards, and is a good build for a strong forward. That Sam Pany was a great sinner in the first half, Iii, lying SOl often offside. That his. winning goal was the crowning triumph of the day. That the forwards may take it from me, that their display, as a whole, on Saturday, will have to be vastly improved upon if the cup is to come to Conway. That the quintette must remember that each, is an unit of a whole that must work in concerted action. That in this they might take a copy of their rivals on Saturday. That Conway's success was gained by the bustling, rather than the methodical tactics. That Peers, in goal, was good for the Green- finches. He was nearly defeated in the first minute though, but afterwards gained confid- ence. That Furnival and Peters were a good pair of defenders, their determination, and clean kick. ing being very prominent features of the match. That R. E. Jones, as centre-half, was a terror for work, and, in my opinion, the best half on the field. That Norman Jones—the fair-headed—is1 a valuable member of the Greenfinches., and is ,good in any position. As a half, on Saturday, he was excellent. That Jack George was the least effective of thetrio,. That Dan Parry was a splendid substitute for George Petrie, as outside right. That he is pretty of movement, and had a good partner in Thomas Evans. That the ex-SaJltney player, Sam Frost, as pivot, was. excellent. That Dick Griffiths and little Binks Petrie made a good left wing, although on the small side. That there were carriages on, the field, that was reminiscent of the days of the old Swifts' cap-tie,s. That Conway players were" Jawed when they came on the field:—Llandudno not forget- tin gthiat it was the Jackdaw that threw the Cor- moran out of the- cup. The Conoviuims can afford to. hear the" Jaw! Jaw! of anyone now that they have won; but at the same time, from a pure football. standpoint, the best team of the day was. Greenfield. That both Carnarvon and .Beaumaris added two points to. their League tables, on Saturday, the former at the expense of Blaetnau Festiniog, 6-Q, and the latter at the expense of Llanrwst, 8-2. That a_ certain member of the Conway team has promised his medal to a young lady, so. sure is he that Conway will win. the cup. 'That the Bast v. West teams were well re- ceived at Biangor yesterday (Wednesday). Œhat it is a good idea to have such encoun- ters. ■The the Coast Association intend going stranger than, this, in having—it is very prob- able a North and South Wales ccynte,st,

The defendant sent her little boy to witness's .house and he said, "IMbther w.ants to. know if you will return her the wood you have removed." Witness replied, What, my boy?" The boy repeated, "Mother wants you to return the wood your husband, stole." The boy then, left, and witness returned to her fire side..Shortly after some one knocked furiously at the door. Witness opened it, and found the defendant tliere, who said she wanted the timber if Edward Hughes had given it to her. Defendant was very excited and used very strong expressions. Defendant then pro- ceeded towards the wood, when, witness followed and said, -Here, you have no right to go there." Thereupon, the defendant jumped at witness like a game cock, and scratched her eye, twisted her nose, and placed her fist down her mouth, and scratched her benaeth the tongue, until she had to be medically treated.

Rhyl-Prestatyn Tramway Scheme. RATEPAYERS' VOTE AT RHYL. n The proposed tramway from Rhyl to Prestatyn was opposled by the Rhyl Council at the inquiry held a month ago- by the Light Railway Com- missioners. Iin. adjourning the inquiry for a month the Commissioners said that the Council might take a poll of the ratepayers 00 the mat- ter, but were not compelled to do so. The Coun- cil, by nine votes: to eight, refused tOl take a poll. Thereupon the newly-formed Ratepayers' Association, decided to. take a poll themselves, and this was held on, Saturday at the Corn Ex- change. Voting was confined to those OIn the v'Olter,s'register, and was conducted on the lines of an ordinary municipal poill, Mr. J. Pierce Lewis being the returning officer. The result was:- For the scheme 556 Against 170 Majority in favour 386 PRESTATYN AND SUNDAY CARS. In response to. a request by the Prestatyn Free 'Church Council, the: Chairman, of the Prestatyn Urban District Council, Mr. Thomas Hughes, convened a public meeting on Friday evening, the object being to protest against the running of tiramcars' on Sunday should the proposed light railway to Rhyl be constructed.. The Rev. Dr. Town-send, formerly President of the United Methodist Connexion, in moving a resolution against Sunday cars, said the Welsh people had always been, in favour of a, quiet Sunday. He would be very sorry indeed if any incursion of English visitors, meant destroying the peace and quiet of the Welsh Sabbath. Already the peace of Sunday was disturbed by the, number of people'who came from the neigh- bouring town of Rhyl chiefly for the purpose of obtaining drink, considerable disorder being in- troduced into the town in. consequence. As they all knew, a better class of visitors came to. Pres- tatyn to enjoy peace and. repose. He also, pro- tested on. the ground of Sunday labour. Mr. Thomas William,s1 said that if the Sabbath were not maintained their prosperity wouild quickly go. Mir. Robert Lloyd then mounted the platform, and declared that a great deal of Sunday traffic was necessitated by ministers of religion them- selves, who went from one place to another on, a Sunday. He pleaded, for Sunday trams on behalf of the workinig classes and others., who. could not get out at other times. At this juncture considerable merrimefnt was created by the Chairman cailling upon the speaker1 to stop, and pointing out that The, was not a ratepayer. The resolutiorn was then, put, and carried, only Oine hand being put up against it.

Death of Mr. John Davies. Many friends throughout North Wales will learn with deep regret of the death of Mr. John Davies, a well-known resident, and formerly an active public man in Liverpool. Mr. Davies's death has occurred quite unexpectedly. He died on Wednesday .morning of last week, at his resi- dence, 38, Devonshire-road, in his seventy-first year. For many years Mr Davies took a prominent part in public matters in Liverpool, being a member of the Liberal party, with a high, ideal of consistency as' a politician.. Mr. Davies was a typical Welshman, with a keen regard for everything pertaining to his country. He took a prominent part in the es- tablisbmemt and extension of university educa- tion in Wales, and was a life governor of both Bangor and Aberystwyth Universities.. He was ,,Iso a director some years, ago. of the Liverpool Institute, in Mount-street Although he has now been out of business for a number of years, Mr. Dfa.vies was/ formerly a well-known tea mer- chant in Liverpool. IHie married a. daughter of the Rev. John Jones, of Talysarn, a famous Welsh divine. Mrs. Davies still survives, and she and her four sons will have the. sincere sym- pathy of many friends in their bereavement. The eldest son, Mr. J. GlYln Davies, is. lecturer in Welsh language and literature at Liverpool Uni. versify. The funeral took place, on. Saturday afternoon, in Smithdown-road Cemetery, in the presence of a large assembly of mourning relatives, and friends. The chief mourners were Messrs. J. !Glyn Davies, A. Stanley. Davies, G. M. LI. Davies, Llwy D. Symond, J. O. Jones, David James, Egerton Lloyd Jones, David Lloyd Jones, Lloyd Williams, E.. W. Lloyd1 Jones, Vaughan Edwards, and Captain Lloyd Jones, and the Revs. Griffith. Ellis and Richard Hum- phreys. The funeral service was, conducted by the Revs. James Davies (Welsh Church, Brown- low-hill), Griffith Ellis (Bootle), and Richard Humphreys. In th>e.» chapel the Rev. Griffith E11L delivered an address, in which he paid a devout tribute to the high qualities of the de- ceased gentleman. There was. a large number of wreaths, and other floral, tributes. A correspondent writes,:—" Mar. John Davies was. Chairman of the' Committee" of the Royal National Eisteddfod when it wasi held in Liver- pool in 1884. !His council experience made him an, ideal chairman, and it was through him that the working of the Eisteddfod by departmental committees was inltrpdluoed-a precedent which has been adopted for the satisfactory working of every Eisteddfod since."

The Two Grand Old Men j oi the Boat Race." INTERESTING REMINISCENCES OF THE REV. CANON CHETWYND STAPYiLTON AND THE REV. CANON F. C. ROYDS. The oldest living survivors of the' great 'Var- sity Boatrace, SK), far as is known to.-day, euro two. clergymen, who: both rowed in the Oxford crew of 1845. These two: veterans were both born in the same year also-viz., in 182-5,—so. that they are. now in their eighty-fouirth year, and for nearly all the period since they were together at Oxfoxd-fo,r something Like sixty-four years. or more—these two cleirgynLein have kept up a friendship that has been intimate and remark- able, seeing how far apart their spheres of work and life have led them in that lengthy period. The senior of the two is the Rev. Canon Chet- wyind Stapylton, who: was. for very many years Rector of Hal.lato.n in Leicestershire:, but who retired from that position a year or two, back, and went to. spend the remainder of his days at pretty Tunb.ridge Wells. Mr. Chetwynd Stapyl- ton is six months older than his friend, the Rev. Canon F. C. Royds, and tfnoiugh they both rowed together in the Boatrace. of 1845 between Oxford and Cambridge, yet Canon Chetwynd Stapylton can claim that he rowed, for Oxford in the pre- vious year, when the contest took place for the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley between Ox- ford, Cambridge, and Leander, in which contest Oxford won. So. that this grand old veteran has a certain claim to be regarded as the actual father of the Boatrace, even though Mr. Royds can equal his record for the struggle from Putney to Mortlake in which both, as already ,stated, took part in the year 1845. Canon F. C. Royds has also: now retired from ,active charge of a parish, and is residing at the charming little town of Penmaenmawr, in North Wales. There he may still be seen going out on his bicycle, at the fine old age of eighty-three, as eager and keen as ever he was in thoise. jovial days at Oxford when he walked the High Street arm-in-arm with his friend Chetwynd Stapylton, whilst they accepted the admiration of all lovers of rowing who pointed them out as two. of the heroes of the 'Varsity boat! They can tell you .strange and interestifttg stories, these two. fine old veterans of the Boatrace. Canon Chetwynd Stapylton will re-count how he was actually at Eton whilst King William IV. was still on the throne of England; how he saw the ever-memor- able race between Eton and Westminster in 1837, when the King himself so. strongly desired the Etonians to win that he came tOl cheer them at Datchet! The Canon will tell you how it prac- tically killed the King when he saw the pink of Westminster get well in front and win easily, for William IV., deeply disappointed, drove back to. the Castle, took to his bed, and never rose from it again We worked as well as we played," said -Canon, Chetwynd Stapylton. A sound mind in a sound body "Jiuvenat's fine motto, you know —" was our 'aim. And we accomplished it; as you'll acknowledge when I tell you that of my boat's eight one man rose to be Lord Chancellor, another to be a bishop, two to be canons, one a f.a.mus archdeacon, and so. on. It wasn't a bad record, I make bold to say, for one. University crew, eh?"—f Sunday Companion.")

Sheep-Breeding Experiments. The University College of North Wales has issued a short report on the, results in 1908 of the breeding experiments for the production of fat lambs, which have been in progress, at Mad- ryn for some years. Welsh mountain ewes were mated with Southdown, Wiltshire, Dorset- horned, Reyland and Kerry Hill rams. The re- port says.: — There can be no doubt that by far the most successful cross, in. igo8 proved to. be the Kerry Hill. The lambs of this cross fattened so readi- ly that 80 per cent, of them were included irt the first sales. The advantage usually gained by early fattening was very marked last year, as prices suffered such a drop after the begin- ning of August that lambs became almost un- aa.Leable. In point of weight the lamb-s of the Kerry Hill cross were almost equal to. the heavi- est of the other' crosses. The lambs, of the Dor set-horned" cross reached heavier weights than, any of the others, but did not fatten so. readily as in the previous year. This. cross deserves an extended trial, and it is more than likely better results would be obtained on land, superior to. that at Madryn."
