DENBIGH. Denbigh Town Football Club. THE SEASON'S REVIEW BY THE HON SECRETARY. On Monday evening last, at the Literary Society's Hall, the fourth season of the above, was broughc to a successful con- clusion. The retiring committee met, to receive the annual balance sheet, which showed a balauceof 13 (J* 7d on the (season's working. The total gate receipts for 1908-09 aojonnted to E123 6-j Id, as against 2147 (3* ül for 19U7—08. It will be remembered that Everton F.C. visited Denbigh last season, which fact augu- mented the funds of the home club to the extent of over C14. The club was not no fortunate in the matter of beiug drawn at home in cup ties as was the case during the previous season. The number of hou members has increased from 42 to 71, while GO players were registered as agaitist 47 last season At the commencement uf the closing season, the committee had to meet a deficit of R13 7s, thus it is easily seen that the prospects were anything but bright. This very discouraging start was bravely faced by the committee, which sot itaseli to curtailing unnecessary expendi- ture, and happily, so well was this work done, that not only did this body get the satisfaction of working this season, with- out loss, but was also able to reduce this deficit by £ 3 Wi 7d, thus the club is A:9 10s 5d on the wrong side. The gate receipts amounting to zC61 4s S'd, receipts from cup ties and subscriptions brought the ciub an income of X123 6* Id, which sum went to meet the following expenses, ground, league, and cup tie expenses, together with other incidentals ot zC52 53 3d amounting to £ 119 9s 6d, leaving a balance, as before started, of £ 3 1Ü" 7J. A word of thanks is due to the committee, which was composed of a body of gentlemen, who bRd the welfare of the club at heart, and who gave their time and presence to further the interests of football in Denbigh. The following were the members of the committee:—Messrs F B Clougb, H W Blunt, W Eovart Brock, William Thomas. Thomas Williams. John Griffiths, G F Davies, J Moody, E Morris Koberts, H Maddocks, E T Williams, W J Griffith, J Williams, J Ellis Jones, R E Williams, T A Davies, L Wolstoncroft, J 0 Thomas, D Jones, H. N Lewis, R T Williams, and the Hon Secretary. We were extremely fortunate in the selection of the chairman, in the person of Mr F B Clough, a gentle- man who is a very ardent footballer, and whose presenco was principally the back- bone of the club. Mr Clough, at the commencement of the season, presented the club with a new wet of red and black jerseys for which he deserves our special thanks. He not only attended every match at home, buc has accompanied the toarn to every out match, thus acquainting himself with the capabilities of 0 ;ell player, ai.d wh.vn an occasion arose, he reprimanded a plajer, in such a way that was pleasing to the culprit. The, club owes a':good share of its success to its chairman and it is the wish of all footballers that lie will still continue to favour tho club with his presence and help. The first team did good work throughout the year, but on one or two occasions failed miserably, particularly on three occasions. I allude to the matches against Beaumaris, Pwllheli, and Holyboad In the last-named match Denbigh was utterly defeated by 7 goals to 1. There might be excuses made for this by saying it was a long journey On a holiday, while dinner was served at a time which did not allow breathiug before the match. Yet, despite these excuses, the team should never have been defeated by 7 to 1. Again, when Pwllheli visited Denbigh oil Christmas Day they took away two valuable i (points, by scoring the only goal of the f match at a time when they were penned in J their own quarters for three parts of the J game, and yet again, against Beaumaris, 9 despite their chance of equalising from a | penalty. 3 As in the previous season, the club again entered into the North Wales Coast League, in both divisions. In the premier division their efforts met with more success than hitherto, for not only did they elevate their position, but also obtained three points more than the previous season, having played 20 matches, won G, drawn G, lost 8-for 18 points. The second team, I am sorry to say, was not a success, for it was at the bottom of the league table, having obtained two points out of a possible twelve, but these points were deducted for playing a non-registered player, thanks to the friendly spirit shown oy members of another club, who, wo hope, are now wiser, and have como to an age to know the, difference between friendly rivalry and spite. The club entered for three caps, namely, the National Cup, Welsh Amateur Cup, and the North Wales Coast Junior Cup. In the former we were drawn against Rhyl, but it was though advisable to give them a walk-over iu tue first round. In theWelsh amateur cup, after defeating I Ruthin and Rhyl, we were drawn against Llandudno at Llandudno, in the tnird round, and wishing to keep a full team at ] hocce to meet Beaumaris sent the Reserves I to do battle, but. alas, these bravo lighters (?) returned with as many goals against them I as t ere are miles from Denbigh to Rhyl. Unfortunately we de not stop here, for the seniors failed to hold their own against I Beaumaris and were defeated before their own spectators by one goal to nil, after one player failing to score from a penalty in the last minute of the game. There is no need to remind readers of the junior cup, for after receiving a walk over in the first round, we had to meet Coiwyu Bay on 7 occasions btforo the tie was de- cided, and this was only arrived at, when we, unfortunately hau to play 9 men and a cripple. J S Williams, beiu^ forced to retire from the field in the first few miuutes of the game. We protested on two occasions against irregularities, being successful in both occasions, but on the latter, the Welsh Association stopped in and awarded Colwyn Bay the tie. Denbigh obtained evidence, which was produced before the Welsh Coast Association, previous to the same being sent to Colwyn Bay by a would-be- Denbigh-Football-Patron and supporter. The club was unfortnnate in losing the services of three good and faithful players, early in the season, in the persons of Mr Luther Evans (who left for Darlington), Mr D G Williams, and Mr J S Williams, who were compelled to retire owing to inquirien. The Committee were again fortunate in procuring the same ground, which is ad- mitted to be one of the finest grounds in North Wales, at a very high rental. The season commenced on Saturday, September 12th, when the Guild F.C. were defeated by 10 goals to one. Denbigh defeated the following: in league encounters:—Carnarvon (a), Conway (h), Llaududno (h), Bingor (h), Bleanau Festiniog (b), and Colwyn Bay (h). Drew with:—Carnarvon (h), Llanrwat (b), Holyhead (h), Bangor (a), Llanrwst (a), and Culwsn Bay (a). Lost with:—Beaumaris (h & a), Pwllheli (h & a), Llandudno (a), Blaenau Fostiuiog (a), Conway (a), and Holyhead (a). J In iriendly matches the club defeated— Denbigh Guild (b & a), Bala (a), Bangor (b), and Liverpool Orreil (b); and lost to I B,i la (ti). The Reserves, in league encounter, drew with Denbigh Guild (b), and Colwyn Bay (h) anr! lost to Denbigh G lild (a), Ruthin (Ll & a), and Colwyn Bay (a) In iriendly matches they defeated Rhyl Grange (h & a); and drew with St Asaph (a), and Rhuddlan (a).

I During the season the club c- I loci upon 1 goal-keeper, 5 bac is, 10 hal balrs, and 11 forwards, making a totil of players for the 1st team; and 2 goal-keepers, 4 backs, 7 half-backs, and 15 forwards, mak- ing a total of 28 players for the second team. A few comments regarding the players I will not be out of place. S Gri(U.hs-the custodian—who, by the way, has been the only ever-present for last season, has not missed a match for three years—such faithfulness, I tnink, is worthy of recognition. He has played f many a good game for the club last season in short, be has not had an off day since the Festiniog match last season. J S Williams, when playing a capital game, was hurt and forced to rptire. His coinra(le-Liew Roes—who reocterud the club valuable assistance, journeyed every j Saturday from Corweu, tuus showing his ) zeal and liking to the club. He is a strong I defender, his huge punts and fearless tack- ling being his chief characteristics. Llew was a great favourite, not only with his fellow club-mates, but also witu the home spectators. We also see in the Free Press" a good account of him in criuket. R T Willimstbe ex-captain—again ren- derod yeoman service to the olub. When all thought that BjL) Toni bad bid goodbye to football he suddenly carne out of his shell and played as well us ever. D G Williams, whom we all know is a stalling plajer and an indefatigable half-back, un- I fortunately did not turn out often for the club, owing to injuries. T A Davies—the renowned half-back-was, as usual, to the front in scientific football, being capped for I his division in the Jnter-league match at Baugor. T A was elected captain and well did he carry out his duties. Tom's only j fault is his expectancy to see all his I comrades play as well as himself. He is a married man this season, aud while wishing him long lifrt und future w" sympathise with him and his wife in the I loss of their little boy a^ed -1 months, whose death prevented T A from playing in the last few matches with his club. Tom Davies, the comedian of the team, is as popular as ever, is also a married man, which fact, fortunately, has not caused his play to become worse. Tom played a spleudid game right through the season, He is also a penalty kick artist. What! did you say anything about Beaumaris? P.(--ase show a red rag to a bull. We hope Tom will be seen again next season. His brother, Eleazir Davies, the giant, played capital toocbali, when he turned out for tho team. What a pity he could not pi-y regularly, for he ia a full btck of no mean order. Tue brothers Haghes, of Rhyl, alsa gave us their very be3t aud right well did they play.

Mr A E Jooe- (oi the office of Mr A O Evans), appeared f >r the d-,f,-ndant, and apologised for the latter's nbsence. Sir Percy wa* prepared to aimit a technical offence. Sergt Edward Jones said that on the 9th of Mav he was on duty on the Gormen »(>».) by Lup F. w- in c Mia y wt. h PC Arkinsiall, tor he purpose of ti-idog motor cars. Defendant/a car passed at what he considered an excessive speed, and he found out afterward" that the car travelled at about ijO miL s an hour. P.C. Henry Jones, LUnfuir, who was stationed at Nantclwvd mile stone, said be timed the arrival of ttir- c.r rhprp, and on couipariug n t..g and t:8 S rg Jones, it was tpund in-it the egr must have travelled tl-,A iotervenj.,g pc:o at, over 30 mile. au huuI.

For that, reason he pleaded guilry to a technical breach of the section. Supt Woollam, replying to a remark from the Bench, said defendant travelled through the village of Ptviiglas, and must have done so, at an excessive speed. It was in consequence of complaints that these cases were brought fotward. The defendant wfs fi'H(1 30s and 9: cos s. OTHER MOTOR CASES. A Inglis Cr<iWtord, Liyrp001, was sum- moned for a similar offence committed the same day. Mr R Humphreys Roberts, Denbigh, said defendant was not in a position to defend the case, because a week had elapsed before he had knowledge thit hn had been tim d and therefore be had no opportunity of satisfying bituself as to whether be was driving at excessive speed or not. Defendant desired to plead guilty and to express regret He had driven a good deal in Denbighshire, and this was the first occasion be had ever been warned either here or anywhere else. Sergt Jones and P.C. Henry Jones proved the speed to have been 26% miles per hour. A fine of 30s and costs was imposed. Leonard John Major, Shrewsbury, was summoned for driving a motor cycle over the same distance at an excessive speed on the saose day. Defendant uid not appear, bU", sent a letter pleading guilty. The officers proved the speed to be 28 4-17 miles per hour. Supt Woollam said defendant was a shop assistant, and therefore not exactly in the same position as the two other defendants. He was fined 203 and costs. LLANARMON SCHOOL CASES. Joseph Jones, Ty Newydd, Llanarmon, was summoned for not sending his child to ¡,cuvvl. Mr W 0 Jones, Ruthin, appeared for the Education Authority, and said the Graianrhyd district, Lianarman, was probably the worst in the county as regards attendance. He explained also that these proceedings had not been taken without due warning being given to the parents Richard Griffiths, the attendance officer, gave evidence. He stated that the child was 12 years of age, resided 1 miles 2 J- 2 from soiiool, and that the attendance during a given period was 199 out of a possible 408. Defendant was fined 6d and Sa 6d costs. Thcu:^s Williams, Psntglaa, Llanar- j mon, was also fined 6d and costs for a similar offence. The attendance in this case was 226 out of 403 possible. The defendant's wife appeared, and said she only did what others were in the habit of doing. A fine of Is and osts was imposed on William Blythin, collierj for a similar offence. The Chairman gave the defendants to understand that if children were unable to attend school owing to illness due notice ought to be given to the schoolmaster or mistress. It was no use coming to Court with a detente of that kind after the offence had been committed. ILLEGALLY EMPLOYING A CHILD. John Thomas, grocer, Llanarmon, was fined 13 and costs for illegally employing the child of Joseph Jonas, one or the above-named defendants, and the child in respect of which Jones was convicted. NO LIGHTS. Trevor Hughes, Kuthin, was fined Is and costs for riding a bicycle without a light on the 20th of May. Sergt Edward Jones proved the case. For a similar offence committed on the 31st of May, John Evans, of Llan- llhangel, was fined Is and costs. STRAYED DOG.

A CHANGE OF AIR, A well-known old lady from Rhyl asked the Board to allow her to go to Rhyl for the summer month?.

It was decided to allow the old lady the same leave as last year. AtLMY AND NAVY PENSIONS. Mr Samuel Perks, who was unable to be present, placed a resolution on the agenda to the effect that in the opinion cf the Guardians it was desirable that the Army and Navy pensions should be paid weekly in the same way as old age pensions a e now paid, as the payment quarterly led to I, extravagance and bad results. On behalf of Mr Perks, Mr Hugh Edwards moved, and Mr Conwy Bell seconded, that a resolution to this effect I should be adopted, and it was carried. It was farther decided to send the resolution to other Boards of Guaidians, the President of the Local Government Board, the Postmaster General, and the Army and Adiniraiity officers.

from the county. That road had been kept in good condition far above the necessities of the local trafhe. Penmaen- mawr stone bad been used on it, and it had been steam-rollsd. After what the county had done they could not continue to do more for that road than for any other district road. There remained a length of about 400 yards to be re-made and steam-rolled. The extra expense bad been borne to make the road fit for the outside traffic, motor cars, and the numer- ous btakes from Rhyl to Dyserth. He proposed that they give instructions to the surveyor to treat the road the sanid as all other district roads. Mr Conwy Bell said they had an un- pleasant experience at Mold on Wednesday. Unfortunately the members from that end of the county were in a minordy, although they paid the bulk of the rates The majority were fond enough of making grants to the authorities at their own end. Shotton asked for a grant towards paving, and the ild,tin Roads Commit.tee recommended the payment of £ 60. The County Council, however, increased it to £ 80. The St Asaph end of the county was treated contemptuously, despite the large payments that, were made. In the Holywell Union there were 9S miles of main roads, Hawardeu had 78, and St Asaph only 27, including five miles mained last year. They were not getting any- thing like justice. They should do no more than put stonei down on the road, and let the county find out from other sources how important the road wa; The Chairman asked how they were in the county with regard to the two parties. He denied that it Was a political question. Mr Bell said it was a political question, and that end of the district had their grants taken away because of the political colour of the representatives elected. There were 21 of each party elected at the list election, and the Liberals, by an accidental chance at the first meeting, secured the chair and elected 13 Liberal aldermen and only one Conservative. T iiii t, was how they obtained their majority. The Council decided only to repHir the road in the same way as the other district roads were repaired, without being stearn- i oiled.
