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. Tlie homesters were allowed a free kick from a foul, and after some kicking on both sides ended in a corner kick for the homesters. The ball rose wall, and the Rev. 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.
