FOOTBALL. LLANDUDNO AMATKURiS v. CARNARVON UNITED. Welsh Amateur Cup (Fourth Round). By Veteran. The Llandudno Amateurs lost thejr chance of a, trophy this season, when they failed to takei advantage of the oppor- tunities afforded them of lowering the colours of Clarnarvon United, and that in the presence of their own supporters. The-game had been looked forward to for some time, and it was generally conceded tha,t, there was little difference between the two teamsi, and as events turned out that view was quite correct. Spectators rolled up in large numbers in spite of the threatening nature of the clouds and the bite in the wind. The. Carnarvon skipper having correctly guessed the spin of the cOlin naiturally choose to take advantage of the breeze, and his side opened in most promising style. For the first quarter of an hour, during which Carnarvon scored the only goal of the match, the home team never had a look in. The passing of the visitors was neat and accurate, and always in the desired direc- tion. The goal they did score came very unexpectedly—one might, almost say I uckily,f.or Hugh Roberts pounced on a n, kind of chance kick from the left wing g and in a twinkling the ball was in the net, Stallard not being given a chance of divert)iing| its flight. .Strange to say the gaining of this goal brought to an end the superiority of the visitors. Tlhe Amateurs, although facing a stiff breeze, quite held tiheir own sub- isequently. The forwards, however1, failed to take advantage of two glorious open- ings which werle, presented them, and the interval came with C'arnarvon one goal up. THE! SECOND HALF. With the wind behind them the Amateurs were expected to do great things, but they didn't. They started as if they simply meant to wipe the floor w-Mi the visitors, and were very quickly in the vicinity of the Carnarvon goal. But there their prowess stopped. The forwards appeared to be all sixes and sevens. Individually they were passably good, but collectively they were just the reverse. Of course the Carnarvon de- fenders1 kicked out of play at every available opportunity deliberately and with intent to waste time. J. H. Jones vacated ;hi,s position at full back to try and do the trick, but his presence was, of no practical good. Corner after corner was forced, but therei was no getting the ball into the net, and finally the whistle sounded for hostilities to cease- with Car- narvon retaining their one goal lead. COMMENTS. I have purposely refrained from writ- ing very much about the actual play. The game opened well, and until half- time there was nothing at alii to, complain of. Afterwards, however, it deteriorated, and all too frequently, both sides went for Ithe man and not the ball. Then again the' constant kicking out quite spoilt the game. This method of defence is not creditable to any team, but, it is one very much in evidence all along the coast. Unless therei is: a change for the better the sympathy of the best, class of habitues of football grounds wiM be lost. Every team in the North Wales League is tarred with the same brush, and the sooner it is penalised 'the better it willI be for the game. Personally instead of a throw, in I would grant a free kick against the offending sdde. I am not suggested this because such tactics prevailed on Satur- day. I have mentioned it, before, and very probably shall do so again. Having had my growl I will just refer to what I consider the weak spots in the Amateurs a,a evident on Saturday. I have in previous weeks alluded to the half-back line, and am still of the. same mind. I may be wrong, but am still of opinion that Jacob Williams is a better half-back thaa. Owen. The latter was re- sponsible for some good work on Satur- day, but he should be placed amongst the, forwards and Jimmy Williams; who is quite out of form, gliven a rest. The forward line, should bei re-arranged to permit Brown and Davey Williams play- ing together, with J. EL Williams in the centre and Claude. Da,viesl or Brookes Evans and Owen on the left wing. Wiith those alterations I think the Amateurs would be' able to score a comfortable win against their conquerors of Saturday. One or two regrettable inctldents took place after the match was over. The first was the kicking of a spectator by Hughes, one of the Carnarvon full-backs. That took place just outside the ropes, and might easily have led to a general melee. As far as' I have been able to ascertain the spectator referred to. jumped off the grand standi, and in doing so came into contact with, a, Carnarvon player. Hughes, who was close by, deliberately lifted his foot and applied it with force to the offender. The second took place in Con- | way Road, and an eye-witness has de- scribed it to me as one of the most cowardly actions it has been his lot to wit- ness. The offender, in the case was also a member of the Carnarvon team. Per- haps he might, not like to see his. name in print, so I will describe him as the "golden-haired half-back." A youth of about nineteen was walking1 alongside of him and passed some remark on the game. The "golden-haired half-back" resented the remark, and without giving the other a. chance of defending h'msolf gave him a blow on the side of the head wh'ch sent him sprawling on to the road. Then he took to his heeds and ran for the dressing room. He passed me on the way, so that I can testify to the latter part of the story. SOME: LEAGUE RESULTS. Cocway came a cropper against Beau- [ maris on Saturday, the latter club win- ning by seven goals to two. Denbigh beat Festiniog by three goals to one, and by a like number Oolwyn Bay went down before Bangor. < GALLANT LITTLE WALES. Representative teams of the countries of the Leek and Thistle met on Wrexham Racecourse on Monday. The game in the first half was entirely in favour of Wales, for whom Meredith played a great game, and was ably seconded by Lot Jones. During the half the Scotch cus- todian was thrice defeated, and when ends were changed Welsh prospects were very bright. The. second half saw- Scot- land in the ascendant, but apparently they could not quite rise to the occasion. Twice the Welsh goal was captured, but afterwards the defence, frustrated all the attempts of the visitors, and Wales won a deserved victory by three goals, to two. WELSH AMATEUR, CUP. (Fourth Round). ABERYSTWYTH v. LLANIDLOES. -> Played at Aberystwyth on Saturday. The home team had the best of the open- ing exchanges, and they soon secured the lead through Pater son. The forwards continued on the aggressive, and before half-time B. James secured another goal after an exciting struggle in the goal mouth. Elxcitng play was witnessed in the second half, and Smith landed a fine goal for Llanidloes with a long shot. Soon after the visiting custodian saved bril- liantly from James. The closing stages were all in favour of Llanidloes, whose forwards were particularly smart on the ball. The Aberystwyth backs, however, presented an impenetrable defence. WELSH, COAST CUP (SEMI-FINAL). CARNARVON v. BEAUMARIS. These teams met at Ban,gor on Wed- nesday last for the third time in the semi-final tie. The sun, which came out about, mid-day, had melted a two-inch layer of snow which had covered the field in the morning and left the ground very sloppy anidi heavy. After about, half an hour's play Ri. II. Roberts scored for Car- narvon, and the half-time score was Car- narvon one, Beaumaris none. Carnarvon commenced the second half with a pro- longed and dangerous attack, but noth- ing came of it. At last Beaumaris got a> penalty kick, but Jones cleared at the expense of a corner, which was netted, but disallowed. After ten minutes of this Clarna,rvon broke away, and attacked more or less up to the end. Final: Carnarvon, one goal; Beaumaris, none.

A CHILD'S PARALYSIS. Little. Boy Helpless. Three Hospitals fail. Cured by DR. CASS ELL'S TABLETS. Mrs Watts, of Sheep Street Lane, Etchingham, .Sussex, writes —Eighteen months ago my little boy developed In- fantile Paralysis. He was so bad that he could not. stand, so I took him to a hos- pital, when he was put in a, plaster of Pars jacket, but he was too weak to wear it. Then I got. him into another hospital, where he remained a, long time, and yet another, but he got no better, so I took him home. He was practically helpless when I began Dr. GasselFs Tablets, but in three months he could run about, and: is now quite well. All consider his cure a miracle."

LOOKING BACKWARDS. LLANDUDNO NEARLY QUARTER, OF A CENTURY AGO. Under the above title we purpose giving weekly in the "Advertiser" extracts from our files of a quarter of a century ago, relating to interesting local events which many 0i our readers will recall, and these will not be without interest to the younger generation who will know many of thobld who took an active part in the various events dealt with. PROFESSOR'S BEAUMONT'S RETURN. We, extract the following from Mon- day's "Spouting Life":—"W. Beaumont who is disapoLiited in J. J. Collier, and J. Haggerty refusing to swim for the 100 yards championship left, London by the 5-15 express on Christmas morning for Llandudno. He broke his journey at Manchest,elr with the idea of seeing either or both of the men referred to. After a short stay in Wales he will return to the metropolis for a few weeks, but intends to reside permanently in the Queen of Welsh watering places. Notwithstanding the failure of negotiations it is almost certain that Haggerty's pedestrian engagements will cease in ample time for a, race long before Beaumont commences teaching in Llandudno." We might add that, Professor Beaumont is now. at Llandudno, looking hale and hearty, and upon inquiries after Mrs Beaumont and little Alice, the reply is that they are in good condition, the latter fast growing and continually plead- ing for a return to Llandudno, which she so much liked and was so well admired. If we mistake not,, Professor Beaumont and his family will in future make Llan- dudno their home.—January 1st, 1887. A SWIM OFF THE PIERHEAD AT CHRISTMAS, Handbills were distributed last week stating that there would be a swimming match off the pierhead on Christmas Day, but few persons thought there was any reality in the affair, and that no one would enter the open sea at this time of the year. However, a fair number of peo- ple went through the pier turnstiles; shortly after 10 a.m. on Christmas Day expecting something to happen. Among the company were Mr G. F. Felton, presi- dent of the swimming club; Mr W Smith, vice-president; Mr W. Bevan (the director of the Pier Company who has. charge of the pierhead), Messrs; Willie. Owen, Jack Roberts (pier-master), Carnarvon House; Willie Madren, George Brookes;, Major Hamilton, Messrs T. Hardy, J. H. John- son, B. R. Daines, W. S. Penny, E. H. Williams, Joseph Meredith, Edward Roberts, G. H. Brookes, Alf Brookes, etc. Of course, everyone had a good laugh at one another up on the "sell," all stating that there would be no such thing as a swimming match on such a day. It blew a fresh breeze W.N.W., and the wind coming from the snow-covered mountains it was. anything but tempting to enter the water, which at the time was full up and very lumpy. Shortly before 11 a.m., Mr W. Smith emerged from an improvised dressing-room showing bare nether limbs and covered with an overcoat. All said, "By jove, there is something in it after all." Sturdy Willie Owen wa,s the next to show bare shoulders" and "the something in it" became more. general. All this time Willie Ma.dren was strolling about laugh- ing at the idea of1 spoiling his Christmas goose and pudding by entering the briny on such weather. However he suddenly disappeared, and was soon returned with the usual bathing dress ready for the encounter. Mr G. F. Felton was judge, and Mr J. H. Johnson had general super- intendence of the men and affairs. Mr Joe Jones ("Ah Sing") was in charge of the boat. Willie Owen went into the boat before it wa,s lowered, and Smith waded over the lower platform into' the craft, while Madren had several walks ankle deep- before he could persuade himself to go into the boat. However, the three were rowed out, and the match came off. Madren being allowed 10 seconds. Smith and Owen starting scratch. The distance was about 100 yards, Owen coming in first, Madre-n second, and Smith last. Afterwards Owen and Smith ga,ve a, plunge from the p'erhead, the fall being about 10 feet. The three Christmas swimmers came out of the water "Pink-uns," and soer^ed fitter than any of the onlookers for a, heartv Christmas; diinner. The pearly retired to partake of the hospitality of a good f end of the swimming club, and '.he wh-le affair was a jolly treat. The at r. the time of the dip regi stered 44 degree*. -Jan. 1st, 1887.

The Chairman of the Commissioners (Mr John Ridge) this year kept up the reputation of the "chair" by presenting all the board's workmen, and a few others, with Christmas cheer in the way either of a goose or a substantial piece of beef. It is unnecessary to state that the gifts were greatly appreciated and enjoyed.-J an. 1st, 1887. » ROYAL INVITATION TO THE! CHAIR- MAN OF THE, COMMISSIONERS. We understand that the chairman of the Llandudno Commiissioners (Mr John Ridge), with lords-lieutenants, mayors, provosts, and other chairmen of Local Boards, received an invitation to dine with the Prince of Wales at St. James's Palace, on Wednesday next, and he will avail himself of the invitattion. The meet- ing is in furtherance of the Imperial In- stitute as a national memorial of the Jubilee of the Queen's reign. On the evening of the 11th inst., the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, will give a grand re- ception at. the Mansion House to the whole of the representatives of the various authorities invited from the provinces. RELIGIOUS CENSUS. AT LLAN- DUDNO. On Sunday last a census was taken of attendances at all places of worship in the district of Cireuddyn, viz., the parishes, of Llandudno, Eglwysrhos, and Llan- gysitenin.

THE LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY SOCIETY CONCERT. NEW WORK BY A MEMBER OF THE LLANDUDNO PIER ORCHESTRA. The following appreciative criticism of a new work by Mr J. H. Fbulds, the principal 'cello player of the Llandudno Orchestra, appeared in the "Manchester Guardian'' of Monday last:- It is impossible to form a correct idea of the value of Mr J. H. Foulds's "Apotheosrs," a "music poem" for violin and orchestra, from the performance heard on Monday afternoon at the St. George's Hail, Liverpool. The hall may be a, very fine thing from an architectural point of view; it is certainly most, irre- sponsive to delicate sound. Even in the previous orchestral items the brass in- struments seemed to tyrannise unmerci- fully over the rest of the orchestra. In the "Apotheosis," where the mafn interest is focussed on the solo violin, even the wood intruments played occasionally the tyrant and overshadowed the ornamental passages of the; violin. Mr Foulds, who conducted, had evidently taken pains to secure as good a balance, of sound" as was c ir possible under the circumstances, and but for this even more would undoubtedly have been lost. The "Apotheosis," we learn from the programme, is divided into five stanzas; the man ideas, however, which run through the composition are two—one an expression of gloom and mourning, the other more serene, and com- 1 forting. The orchestra is used through- ( out to support and add colour to the phrase expounded by the soloist, not mere- ly to accompany him. And although, for reasons already stated, some points were 12.s,1 there were "dimes when the skill of he composer in the grouping- of the in- struments was apparent beyond question. Mr F'oulds seems to possess a most happy touch in the blending of different tones, and it 's a most difficult task to provide a solo instrument with a base, which is nedhÐlr too imposing nor too important. A violin phrase cannot be well answered by tiT 0111 hones-though this happens 1 "Helde-nleben,"—nor can the modern ear feel any longer satisfied with the thread- bare orchestral part which Vieuxtemps orovided for h's concertos. And it is •nucli to Mr Foulds's credit that he ha-s given us the right measure. The second tubiect of the work is peculiarly beautiful rad expressive the first, theme also has "haracter and individuality. The "'Apotheosis" was, ably played by Mr John awson.
