Football. NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. Division 1. HOLYWELL BEAT LLANRWST. On Saturday last Holywell entertained Llanrwst in their last match of the season. The visitors turned out at full strength, but Holywell were minus E. J. Hughes, who had accepted an invitation to play for Wrexham in the Welsh Cup final. Teams: Holywell.—Edwin Williams (goal); W. Goodwin and Faweett (full backs); C. Hewitt, Ben Edwards and C. Hewitt (half- backs) Geo. Petrie, A. Hewitt, W. Hurst, R. Bellis, and J. Hawkes (forwards). Llanrwst. -R. Jones (goal); A. Roberts, and W. T. Jones (full backs); T. J. Jones, W. Roberts, and D. Edwards (half-backs); C. V. Eliaa, J. E. Owen, J. Evans, D. R. Jones, and H. Roberts (forwards). Llew Richards was introduced into the home team vice Ted Hughes. The visitors forced the first corner, but this proved of no avail. Goodwin relieved the pressure, and Petrie, obtaining posses- sion, sent in a beautiful centre, which was headed into the net by Reuben Bellis, five minutes after the start. The visiting for- wards were very nippy, but the home de- fence offered a stone-wall resistance and spoilt all their opponents' efforts to score. Albert Hewitt had a clear field on his own, and when well placed he passed to Hawkes, who missed the ball. Petrie and Hawkes were responsible for several attacks of a promising character. Midfield and up-and- down play followed for some time, in which Elias and H. Roberts were seen to great advantage for Llanrwst. W. Hurst opera- ted masterfully at centre, and with the great help he received from Ben Edwards, who was playing at the top of his form, he fed his wings with judgment. A beautiful bout of passing by the homesters was only relieved by Reuben Bellis shooting past goal. Holywell continued to press, and W. Hurst sent in the best shot of the day which was neatly saved by the Llanrwst custodian. The homesters kept up a per- fect fusillade on the Roosters' charge, but the defence prevailed. The visitors made a dangerous breakaway on the left wing and forced a corner, which was accurately placed, but Ben Edwards came to the res- cue at the crucial moment and cleared with a huge punt. The home forwards again pressed, and R. Jones successfully sustain- ed a shower of difficult shots which poured upon him from all directions. Petrie even- tually found the net with a stinging shot, but unfortunately for his side the whistle had previously sounded for an infringement of the rules. When excellently placed, Hurst handled the leather, and immediate- ly after Hawkes dribbled into position and made a supreme effort to increase the lead with a, rising shot which just grazed the crossbar. The homesters had it all their own way at this juncture, and from a well- placed corner, Charlie Hewitt seored with a good shot over the heads of a. ruck of players. Hawkes played dvicks and drakes with the opposing halves, and from one of his centres a defender handled the ball in the dreaded area. The resultant penalty kick was entrusted to G. Fawcett, who shot past the upright. The game assumed an end-of-the-season tameness, and nothing startling or even interesting occurred after- wards up to half-time, when the score stoodHolywell 2 goals, Llanrwst nil. In the second half, Hawkes and Bellis changed positions and combined beautifully on the home left, initiating several on- slaughts which by a shade of luck should have resulted in goals. Llanrwst broke away, and their pivot, beating Goodwin, scored. Petrie sect in a delightful centre, and W. Hurst, trapping the ball, placed it in an excellent position for Albert Hewitt to score. The homesters kept up an inces- sant pressure. Hawkes securing the lea- ther, dribble* it within a few paces of the goal, and when tackled sent it forward for Albert Hewitt to run in and score the fourth goal. Until the end Holywell kept the ball in their opponents' half of the field, and the visiting defence were kept busy, but the latter played a sound game, otherwise the score against them would have been much heavier. Final:—Holy- well 4 goals, Llanrwst 1.

SHIP'S CAPTAIN FINED. CHINESE LABOUR ON BRITISH VESSEL. At North Shields Police Court on Mon- day, H. Muvehie, master of the ship Falls of Orchy, was summoned for employing Chow Lan, of Penny Fields, Poplar, Lon- don, on April 3, for the purpose of supply- ing a seaman named Ah Low, Chow Lan holding no licence from the Board of Trade for that purpose, and further for re- ceiving Ah Low on board his ship knowing he had not been legally engaged. Chow Lan was summoned on 33 counts for en- gaging that number of Chinese seamen for 0 the ship without holding a licence. The informant was Charles Bellem, an official of the Sailors' and Firemen's Union. Mr. Havelock Wilson watched the proceed- ings. The prosecution called a telegraphist from North Shields Post Office, who pro- duced telegrams which passed between the master and Chow Lan. I)c Ah Low, a fireman, deposed that he was engaged for the vessel by Chow Lan. Mr. Lancaster, for the defence, said Chow Lan was secretary of a society for the progress of Eastern seamen, and in that capacity got these men positions. He got no advance, and acted as a philanthropist. The captain did not know Chow Lan was unlicensed. Captain Murchie was fined C5 and costs in the first case, and the second was with- drawn. The charges against Chow Lan wert then heard, and he was fined 7s. 6d. and costs on each of the 33 charges.

THE BOTTLE TRICK. A publican who had small dealings with Chinese in Australia, found them close— very close—though honest. But one day his confidence was rudely shaken. A Chinaman faced the bar, and blandly requested, "Two shillings brandy." Brandy was given him in a bottle, and the bottle went up hie capacious sleeve. But, as he sought for the money in the folds of his nether gear, his face grew blank. "No catchee money; by-by eatchee money." He put the bottle—or, rather, a bottle- on the counter, and retired. He did not return. The Boniface took up the bottle to replace it. but before doing so he applied it to his nose, and found that it contained only very mild tea.

WHY ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEBOUS. SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, April:—Acid in the stomach is dangerous and frequent- ly fatal, because acid from its corrosive na- ture has a natural tendency to destroy the mucous lining of the stomach itself. No one intentionally swallows hydrochloric acid, but it is often present in large quan- tities as the result of food fermentation in the stomach resulting from the chemical action, which so frequently follows the eat- ing of the daintiest and most tasty foods or the indulgence in any form of alcoholic stimulants, including beer, wine, liqueurs, etc. This fermentation causes pain, un- easiness and discomfort because of the acid which burns like a red-hot iron, and the formation of gas which distends the sto- mach, causing shortness of breath and pal- pitation of the heart. The trouble being entirely due to the unnatural condition of stomach contents, and not in any way to the fault of the stomach itself, physicians have adopted with marvellous success the plan of neutralising the acid and stopping the fermentation by means of half-a-tea- spoonful of simple bisurated magnesia taken in a little water immediately after eating or whenever discomfort is felt. The im- mediate relief following the use of Bisura- ted Magnesia is striking proof of the con- tention of medical men that failure to digest food properly is almost invariably due to the acid condition of food contents, and in no way the fault of the stomach or vital organs.
