FOOTBALL NOTES. [BY "VETERAN."] The Oswestry United XI undertook a long jour- ney on Saturday when they visited Tranmere to play the Rovers of that place. I had a little chat with one of the principal supporters of the team and he said I don't expect our fellows to win to- dav-they will certainly be beaten. Yet what do we find ? They rose to the occasion like men, as indeed they have done on many occasions this season and succeeded in bringing away one point The Rovers started very Wrongly and. gave the "United defence plenty of work. In about ft quarter Of an hour the Rovers were one up and were playing so well that it seemed all over with «swestry. Matters got worse when the unfortunate Cnarhe Parry was placed hors de combat owing to an acci- dent and Oswestry had to fight away With 10 men. However, they plodded on and though the Rowt. on several occasions came near scoring ey not quite succeed and at only one up.

Medal Competition in which these two teams are said to be among the best promises to be of a very exciting character. R.W.W. V. WELSHPOOL.—The return friendly took place at Newtown on Saturday last before a poor gate. Harper was the only absentee from the home team, but Welshpool brought half-a-dozen men, making up the eleven with Newtown players, and the display given was of an extremely dis- appointing character. The Warehouse scored early and Powell through a nice pass from Parry added a second. Jordan took the ball down the extreme right and centred, W Parry netting the ball. In the second half the homesters still had the best of matters and added two more goals, and won by 5 goals to nil. Mr T Evans was the referee. MONTGOMERY v BISHOP'S CASTLE.— The return matwh between the Town team and Bishop's Castle, was played on the Dragon Meadow on Saturday. The visitors won the toss and chose to face the incline. ghawkicked off for Montgomery, who at once made tracks for the Castle quarters. Shaw dribbled through and essayed a shot wh;cb, how- ever, went wide. Evans robbed the visitors' left just as the latter were getting dangerous, and a little later the Salopians had hands given against them as tb»ir forwards Were racing to capture the Montgomery goal. The venue was changed to the other end, where Lucas got possession and centred &C3urately. Hamer, who was well up, had no difficulty in registering the first point for Mont- gomery. Evans was penalished for fouling the Castle right, and Venmore scored for the visitors from a penalty. Montgomery full away after this, and Bishop's Castle gained the lead from a well organised movement. Just before half time Hamer equalised, and the teams crossed over with the score two all. In the second half the home team had to play up hill, but contrary to expectation, they forced the pace. Lucas scored with a stinging shot, and Thomas followed with No 4. Shaw added the fifth with a shot that went through a forest of legs. Though in a minority of three goals, the Shropshire men struggled gamely in the last quarter of au hour, and succeeded in reducing the lead to 5-4, at which the score stood when the final whistle went. The game was keenly contested on both sides, and was both interesting and exciting to the spectators. It may have erred slightly on the rough side, but this is inseparable, perhaps, from the keen rivalry which has always existed between the two team. The following formed the winning side:—Goal, J Davies; backs, F Painter and A Pritchard; halves, T W Howard, H Hughes, and H Evans; forwards, R Thomas, A Lucas, W it Shaw, S Hamer, and J Jones. Linesman, Mr T S Davies; referee, Mr J Davies.

Daring the past year the boats of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution were launched 343 times on service, besides which the crews were assembled on 55 other occasions, when it was thought that their services might probably be required, and 690 persons were rescued. Rewards were also granted by the Institution for the saving of 17& lives by shore-boats or other means during the year, bringing up the total number of lives for the saving of which the Society granted rewards in 1900 to 865, and to 42,707 since 1824. The cost of maintaining the Institution's fleet of 286 Life- Boats in thorough efficiency is increasingly heavy, and the amount received in annual subscriptions and accruing from assured income is insufficient for the purpose. Further financial help is there. fore much needed by the Institution. Annual Subscriptions and Donations will be gladly received by the Secretary, Mr Charles Dibdin, 14 John Street, Adelphi, London, by any of the Branch Honorary Secretaries, and by all the Bankers in the United Kingdom.

MACHYNLLETH
MACHYNLLETH BELL-RINGING.—The old year was rung out by the Parish Church bells (muffled), and the tenor bell struck twelve in time with the tower clock. Immediately after twelve, all the bells rang out a merry peal until about one o'clock of the new year. Last Wednesday the bells were again going merrily all day. The cause was the weddinp of Miss Trevor of the Rectory, with Mr Smail, of Warren Wood, Kent. The wedding took place at St Andrew's Church, Ashley place, London. The ringers on both occasions were Mr William Sadleir (foreman), Messrs D Williams, J Edwards, David Roberts, T Hughes, and J D Edwards. LITERARY.—A paper was read before the Cym- deithas Cymreigyddion Cyfeiliog" in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening by Mr Edward Rees, J.P., hisjsubject being Lewis Glyn Dyfi." Mr Rees gave a most interesting account of "Lewis Glyn Dyfi's life, which is a remarkable instance of a boy working in a flannel-mill in an out-of-the-way corner near Corris becoming a poet of the first order, and ranking with names like Tafolog," and others. PATRIOTIC.—A spirited lecture was given in the Town Hall, on Thursday evening, by the Rev. W M Roberts, M.A, chaplain of the 5th V.B., S.W B. The lecture was on the subject of the "Growth and History of the British.Army from the earUest times," and was illustrated by beautiful limelight views. Dr Davies, who is surgeon-lieutenant of this section of the volunteer battalion, presided over a fairly well-attended'house. Chaplain Roberts provided the lantern and the slides, and gave the lecture in order to instil enthusiasm into the local volunteer move- ment. The proceeds were handed over to the Volunteer Fund. Private Cule was accompanist, and the fol- fowing gave solos, quartettes, &c. :—Col.-sergt.- Instructor Wilson, Sergeants Joseph Joms, Evans, Hughes, Bugler Williams, Messrs J Lumley, D Williams, 0 Morris and others.
