Some good f'bots took place, but owing to the heavy state of the ground the players found great difficulty in keeping their feet. Even- tually the ball was sent down bo the Cardiff quarters, where some good play was seen. Half-time was soon after called, with no score on either side. After half-time Porth seemed to be in their best form, for despite many difficulties they held their own very firmly, and C. Jones scored a goal, which was quickly followed by another, W.

GOALS. 1 PORTH «. 2 | CARDIFF -.v. 0 j REMARKS. There is very little to be said for either side, individual play being out of the question. Mention, however, must be matie of Higgins and Jones for the winning lot, while McCreadie and Dr. Simmington were the pick of the Cardiff let. The game could not be classed as an exhibition of the Association game, being as it was far too one-sided. ST MARGARET'S v BROCKWEIR. Played on the St. Margaret's Ground in fine welther. There was a. fair number of spectators present. St. Margaret's kicked off, and play was rushed back into the Saints' quarters, and after a goal-kick and some pretty dribbling by the Rev. Crichton and Bain, the visitors were hard pressed, the Saints having very bad luck in not scoring with the fine kicks of RamsdtJe to back them up. A goal-kick for Brockweir brought relief, and they were playing ha.rd to get past half way when half time was called. The visibors restarted, the ball going to RmnaHalo who sent it to the Rev. Crichton, who, with some splendid dribbling, passed to Williams. The latter with a splendi i shot put on the first goal for bhe Saints. Following the kick-out Ramsdale again sent it to the Rev. Crichton, the ball being passed to Bain and the left wing, Becker, who sent It over to the right wing, Williams, who again put the ball through The visitors again started, only to be driven back. A penalty kick was awarded the Saints, Williams again scoring by the Rev. Crichton. The visitors tried hard to stop the dribbling powers that were beating them back.

Grichbon jumping up in bhe nick of time, headed the ball through. The 'Weirs were fairly beaten, and play was in their quarter when the whistle announced time. FINAL SCORE GOALS. ST.

WHAT MR OSCAR MEYER THOUGHT…
WHAT MR OSCAR MEYER THOUGHT OF HIS RECEPTION. Mr Oicar Meyer, the talented young German pianist,who had such a wonderful rec3ption at the Park Hall, Cardiff, on Friday, on thetoccasion of the Musical Society's concert, was born at Hanover exactly 28 years ago. He told a Souih Wales Echo representative during one of the intervals in the concert that he had never before played Grieg's pianoforte Concerto in the British Isles. lie thought that the Cardiff audience had shown great appreciation of the piece, but it is one that has to be listened to a dozen times before all its beauties become apparent. Replying to a question as to how it was that he had paid. Cardiff "he high honour of a visit at a time when he had almost forsaken the concert hall platform, Mr Meyer replied, Well, I promised a long time ago that I would come. At first my intention was to p!ay Mendelssohn's pianoforte Concerto insteadjof Grieg's, but I was specially asked to play the latter and I decided so to do. I'm very glad now that I did, for I never anticipated such a reception, and think that Cardiff people have treated me very, very kindly. I think I ought to say a word about your orchestra. It is a splendid one, really better than I shouid have expected to have found in any provincial town, and I think the greatest credit for the performance of the Concerto is due to the conductor. I wish that I could have got Grieg himself to come to Cardiff. I did ask him to come, for he had hoped to have come shortlyv over to this country from Leipzics, where he tells me in a letter that I had from him yesterday he is now finishing off some Scandinavian airs. But Grieg, poor fellow, is none too robust, and he dreads the sea, and has to take great care of himself."

'V HAT A WEAK BOY DID. Consumption is too often traced to weakness in childhood. When from any cause thp. child is unable to assimilate nourishment necessary to mike a healthy growth, thsre is almost at once impoverishment of the blood. This condition is rfaiigdrous, not oniy to growth, but to life it^lf. No child can hopa to have solid bones, fat ro9y cheeks, and vital strength if its food supply is cut off from the blood. e The son of W. D. Ray. Head Master of Piaxcol National Schools, Sevenoaks, Kent, at four years old showed a weakness of the chest. What his condition was, and what, his physician recommended is told by Mr Ray, the Hd Master, in the following letter, dated January 15 ill, 1895 :— I take pleasure in acquainting you of the great benefit Scott's Emulsion liai given to my little boy. He is four yearg old, and, although a good big boy, has at times shown a weakness of chest, which we have been afraid would develop into a serious lung trouble. For the last two winters he has had severe attacks of congestion of the lnngs, and has been up to the last two months peculiarly susceptible to catching co!d. In October. 1895, he had another grave illness-con- gestion and bronchitis—and was reduced in strength and appearance to a very low ebb. Our doctor ordered him to tuke Scott'a Emulsion. He has done so for the last two raenths, and the benefit to him is remarkable. His appetite, which before was capricious, is now good and steady, and he has increased in weight to a considerable extent. By the aid of Scott's. Emulsion, solely and entirely, he appears to bt rapidly getting into a sound, health state. I have every faith that by its oontinued use he will soon outgrow that weakness of the lungs which had shown itself in him. I have begun to take it my- self as a bonic and have good reason to hope thai it wili prove of equal service to me. You are at liberty to pubhsh this, and I shall be pleased to answer any question respiting the case, either frcm you or trom anyone to whom might qur»t« me as a reference." Scott's Enmlsion certainly has a wide range of usefulness. Food is designed to supply tlie body with everything needed by Nature but Scott'a Emulsion has the advantage over food of acting dirctly upon the throat and lungs, healing sore p'aces and relieving all local irritation, and at the same time feeding the blood with the most essential nourishing properties of food. It is easily assimilated, and tins enables the patienb to gain flesh and strength, even though weakness may have impaired the digestive organs. For all who are pale, and thm, and weak, Scott'a Emulsion is almost a necessity. Its value is attested by the high esteem in which it is held by the medical profession, which recommends in to nearly all cases where there is decreased vitality. It is peculiar to itself, and cannot be imitated. The genuine Scott's Emulsion is easily distin- guished by a trade mark of a man carrying a big fish on his back, on the wrapper. « UGHES'S JgLOOD JpILLS. YOUR BLOOD IS BAD.

INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL. IRELAND v SCOTLAND. Widespread interest was excited in this, the 19th contest between tlie Rugby representatives of Ireland and Scotland owing to the fact that the Irishmen by reason of their brilliant victory over England at Leeds were favourites for the International Rugby Championship. Up to the present Scotland have an immense advantage over their opponents of to-day in the matter of victories having been successful on fifteen occasions against two wins registered by Ireland, the game in 1893 at Belfast re- sulting in a pointless draw. It may be mentioned how- ever, that since the match at Belfasb in 189L when Scotland piled on a score of 4 goals 2 tries against nothing, the games have been particularly close, Scotland in the four matches scoring 3 tries against a goal by Ireland After the English match the Irish Committee selected the team en hloc to represent them against Scotland, and but for the fact that J. i ulton the full back had to give way to G. McAllen, owing to his having sustained an injury in a club match the team turned out as selected. McAllen is a student at the Royal High School, Duncannon, and although only a lad, has the reputation of being verv smart The Scotch Committee were unfort/nate^as^nUie match with Wales, in having to call upon several substitutes, but even then the team was regarded as being stronger than the one that was defeated bv Wales at Cardiff Fine weather prevailedTand when the teams fielded there would be ouite 10 000 spectators present. iu,uw THE TEAMS.

IRBLAND 0 0 0 t f [COMMENTS BY TitEFOIL."I The game was a very disappointing one for the spec*1 tators, and very little good play was witnessed. Play' was mostly confined to the forwards, and any back: play was mostly done by the Scotchmen. The Irish forwards entitely lacked the combination and dash which they displayed at Leeds, and never really seemed to settle down to their work until near the end. The Scotch forwards played a splendid game, and much after the style of Ireland's forwards' play at Leeds. The visitors' backs were better than the Irish lot, especially, when any passing was to be done. The Irish half-backs beat, their opponents, although the latter gob more chances. Both sides had hard lines in not scoring at least twice. Neilson's shot for goal was a very narrow thing, and -Gowan's was thrown in touch when almost over. On the other hand had Allan gone on one occasion when no one was in front instead of waiting to pass to Gardiner, nothing could have kept him out, and Magee had hard lines in getting tackled on the line, after the only real bit of back play on the Irish side during the match. The Scotchmen, although without having anything the best of matters, played a better and a prettier game than our fellows. Smith at full back performed well Neilson was the best of the jthiee-quarters, Campbell also doing well, but Gowans made several mistakes. Donaldson got 1-hrough more work than Simpson at half, and of the forwards-who all worked well-Dodds, McEwan, and Couper were perhaps the best. Two at least of the Irish forwards did not work hard in the packs, O'Connor. Crean, and Clinch working like Tiojans, bealey being,briwant in the open. Allan was the only one of the Iri-h backs to come up to expectations, and if not the best back on the ground, was much ahead of his confreres. Lee played a good spoiling game, hub Magee, Stevenson, and Garaner were distinctly off colour. RESULTS UP TO DATF.

COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP.
COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP. NORTHUMBERLAND v CUMBERLAND. Dull weather with slight rain at times was experienced for this match at Jesmond, and the attendance was very moderate, largely on account ot the counter attraction in the English Cup tie.

The visiting forwards dribbled strongly, and Timmey scored a try. but the kick failed. IT--If-tiine Northumberland led 5 points to 3. The second half was far from interesting and Cam- berland scored rather luckily by Graham for Steel to improve.

ST. V\T[NEFHIDE'S 'YELL.
ST. V\T[NEFHIDE'S 'YELL. Father Beauclerk has accepted the offer of the Holywell Urban District Council to let him St. Winefride's Weil for the year beginning May 1st next at a rental of 2125, with the stipulation—to which the Council have assented—that he shall be allowed to construct a side gateway for invalids to enter the well premises on the flat, instead of their having to be carried up the steps to the porch, as at present. The news has caused much satisfaction in Holywell, where the inhabitants are preparing for the season, which is expected to be nn early as well as a profitable one. An interesting event of the season will be the erection of a large white marble statue of St. Wtnefride on a huge pedestal outside the new St. Winefride's Hall. The sbaiue will be of what is known as the heroic size," and is now being' sculptured by an Italian arbist from a magnificent block of Carrara marble, at a cost of £ 300. It is' believed that the project for erecting a large Catholic church in basilica, capable of accommo- dating several thousand persons, will take definite, form this year, and tha.t a fund will be started for building purposes.

From the scrum Cardiff took play to neutral territory, where the ball again fell into the Newportonians' hands.

Soon after the drop-out Ricketts received a pass from Tylor and ran over with a pretty try. The attempt to improve upon it however was a failure.

Gibbs was on the warpath, but Arnold, kicking into touch, saved for the homesters. j enarth by long kicks, in which Gibbs was most prominent, drove the oval to the home territory. Angove was looking a certain scorer when White floored him beautifully. Clemence burst through a bunch of the home forwards and play was centred closer to the home line, but Tom Williams, the home custodian, relieved with a well-judged kick, relieving the pressure. Prole made a mak aml Gibbs made a good attempt. Play wu still centred in the home 25, where several scrums took place. Morgan, getting possession, made a fine run, but nothing came of it. F.

From the ensuing scrum Ivor Grey raced down the field with the bail, but was pushed into touch at the visitors' 25 flag. Penarth was penalised for off-side tactics. Ben Griffiths kicked well down the field, where several scrummages took place to no man's advantage," both teams being on a par at the pushing business. Ben Griffiths, for the Tin pla ters, was most active, his t ricky play being most praiseworthy. Pengeliy dribbled from a scrummage and gained immensely for the visitors. Play being waged in the home 25, Ivor Grey kicked down ana Angove made a muddle of the ball, and a splendid chance was lost. Hopkin Davis, who was now playing full back, made some effective kicks, which brought play to the other end. which Morriston took advantage of. W. Crocker again distinguished himself, nearly doing the needful, but Landie saved again. Morriston was near doing the trick, the ball being in close proximity to the visitors' line. Morriston was now pressing the Seasiders, but Angove by judicious kicking relieved the pressure. Passing between Gibbs and Pengelly gained ground, but Ben Griffiths, hy a fine dribble, retrieved the lost ground. Several scrummage3 took place In roidfleld, and Ben Griffiths was again conspicuous, and Will Crocker, by a splendid kick, sent the ball into the visitors' 25, and Eli Kirby only saved in time. Morriston was now on the line, Ivor Grey passing to Ben Griffiths and thence to W. Crocker, and finally Tom White ran easily round the post and scored. No goal resulted. Restarting play was vigorous, Hopkin Davies saving beautifully by some well-judged kicks. The tackling of the Morriston forwards was superb, the Seasiders being nonplussed, notwithstanding that they played with great determination, but to no advantage. Clemence sent the ball to the Morriston line, and W. Crocker had to concede the first minor. Time was now called. FINAL SCORE: G. T. M. I MORRISTON 0 10 j PENARTH 0 Q 1 | LLWYNYPIA v EBBW VALE.

REMARKS. Both side- played Ri andly, but whilst Uwynypla were better in the forwards they were far ahead in the back, The try of Tom Williams was made in a mogt, brilliant manner, perhaps one of the finest tries seen on the ground this sea- son. Charlie Williams was in excellent form, his kicking beinc: immense. A. Powell and G. Thomas were superior to the visiting the latter usually buing on the wrong sine of the scro.u, and they were the means of giving the visitors sev^l free kicks.

From the first scrnm the home fotwards broke away, but a grand bout of passing by the visiting quartette took play to the home line. After some tight scrummaging Emlyn Lewis again put his quartette In motion, and a try was all but scored. The game, although only just started, waged exceedingly fast, and a forward rush, headed by D. Evans. resulted in the gain of a minor for Venygiaig. On the restart mid-field was tho scene of the ficrlit, and W. Jones put in a. kick into j' touch. A dribble by the Traherbert forwards pud Penygraig on the defensive again.

On the restart the homesters again got the uppsr hand mainly through their forwards but a fine bout of passing by the home backs was next witnessed, and amidst great excitement T. Jones (Giliach) got over with a well-deserved try. Jones failed to negotiate. The Penygraig forwards aeain shone, and were instrumental in gaining immense ground for their side. This advantage was, how- ever. nullified by a well-designed bout of passing by the Treherbert quartette, and Jones asain receiving made a fine dash for the line, but D. Evans ran up the field in magnificent style, and a minor resulted. A hard fight now waged on the Treherbert line. All of a sudden there was a change, W. B.

The score hardly represents the nature of the game, as Penygraig, taken all through, had the best of the argument;, but Treherbert were fortunate in having the elemental luck on their side, and they scored a fine victory. D. Evans waseasily the best forward on the ground, closely followed by Kirkhouse and Rhapps. Emlyn Lewis and Granville divided honours at half, while W. R. Jones was perhaps the best three-quarter on the field, with T. D. Dftvies and Tom Jones \n close attendance. The full-backs were about equal. NEATH A v NEATH Y.M.C A. P.

By dmt of really good play, the Y.M. kept the homesters well penned in. and several times G. Lloyd had hard lines m no¡ scoring, a minor, however, only being the result. The homests now ruhed the entire length of the field, but a splendid field and kick by Steer brought play to the centre.

Here the visitors ha- I much the better of the game, and were looking very dangerous, when a kick into touch by D. Austin removed the game to neutral territory. From this point the homesters rushed the ball into the visi- tors'quarters, but a free givenagainstSwansea brought play once more into the home 25, where a scrum waa formed, and after a splendid bout of passing amongst the visiting quartette a try was scored by J.

From now the play was of a more even nature, and eventually the home forwards took the ball over the Llanelly line, but the ball was alleged to have gone in touch a yard from the visitors' line. The Llanelly forwards, by a few combined rushes, took play to the division line, and from now the play was very evenly divided. Nothing: of any note was done by either side till call of time.
