BANGOR v. LLANDUDNO. This replayed semi-final North Wales Coast Cup tie was played at the Oval, Carnarvon, on Saturday last. After Bangor beating Llandudno on the latter team's ground on St. David's Day, it was thought that they would be able to hold their own in this important fixture, but it was not to be so. Five minutes from the start Thomas scored for Bangor, but Llandudno were not to be beaten, and by half-time had scored two goals. After the re- start Bangor pressed for about fifteen minutes, but could not score. Llandudno then got away, and fairly showered shots at the Bangor citadel, with the result that they scored three more goals, thus winning by 5 goals to 1. I BUCKLEY VICTORIA v. FLINT. This semi-final tie of the North Wales Coast Cup was p!ayed at Shotton. From a free kick Buckley scored their first goal, amidst ringing cheers from their supporters. A few minutes from time Davies scored their second goal. Half-thne arrived with the score-Buckley 2, Flint 1. In the second half each side managed to notch another point, the game thus ending in favour of Buckley by 3 goals to 1.

Welsh Junior Cup.-Semi. Final. LLANRWST v. RUABON ALBION. This match was played it Rhyl on Saturday. Llanrwst lost the toss, and Ruabon played down the hill. It was seen early in the game that Ruabon was the stronger team, but in spite of their strength they could make but very little progress against the Roosters," who had as much of the game as their opponents, the Ruabon custodian being oftener troubled than the Llanrwst one. About four minutes from the call of half-time a misunderstanding between the Llanrwst backs let in the Ruabon forwards, who had no trouble in beating the Llanrwst goalkeeper at close quarters. It could not be called a well-worked goal, but at the same time was quite a fair one, and the teams turned over, Ruabon leading by I goal to nil. After changing ends, the Roosters made themselves felt, and in less than five minutes the outside left got possession of the ball and passed it to his in- side man, who swung it over to the right, who made tracks towards the Ruabon goal, and giving a swift pass across the goal mouth, the inside left met it and banged it into the net without any of the Ruabon team having a touch at all, thus equalising with the best goal of the match. In a very short time again the Ruabon forwards scored another goal at closing, thus taking the lead by 2 to 1. From this to the finish Llanrwst had the best of the game, but could not find the net until about five minutes before time was up, and the game ended in a draw of 2 goals each. Llanrwst meet Holywell next Saturday in the League. The League ist Division. Results up-to-date. ^Goals.-s Pld.Won.Lost.D111. For Agst.

Prestatyn. THIS town has been full of exciting topics of interest lately, the exciting rescue from drowning of a servant girl by Miss Healey, practically at her last gasp, in the cut near Barkby Avenue, being not one of the least. The girl, we are glad to learn, has nearly recovered, though still suffering keenly from shock. We hope the authorities will see to this dangerous place being properly railed off, or the next one to fall in may not be so fortunate. We surely think the lady rescuer deserves public recognition for her bravery, which has doubtless bedn the means of saving a life. The Talk of the Town is- THAT on the question raised at last week's licensing case, Is it a rising place ? The talk is that from its natural advantages and nearness to the great business centres, it must come to the front as a health and pleasure resort, and that if increase in land value is a criterion, it is rapidly doing so. THAT now there is such an enterprising Council it will be pushed along that when all the resolu- tions passed thereat for the improvement of the town are carried out, then the place won't know itself. THAT the light railway will be a great impetus. THAT there are large operations in building by an influential syndicate looming up. THAT all the large landowners have the interests of the place at heart, and arc willing to co-operate for its improvement. THAT of course it will be necessary to increase the rates, but no ratepayer will object to a small outlay for such desirable ends. THAT for all folks to try to make out it is not rising, nevertheless the present generation may iind the place of such importance that letters may be addressed to Rhyl, near Prestatyn." THAT Prestatyn people believe that Rhyl is on the wane, and no wonder, for the only attractions are limited to its pure, dry air and its mixed bathing. THAT the value of land has been talked up with little intrinsic basis for it. THAT what advantages Prestatyn enjoys are 'being spoiled by want of a governing body of business men who will work together for the good of the community. THAT the resolutions, which are good for the town, passed one meeting, are cancelled the next, unless they meet with the approval of the one-man party on the Council. THAT there are new residents who highly praised the place for its natural attractions, but are so dis- gusted with the poor returns for the high rates and 1 11 rents that they are again leaving, THAT there was joyous satisfaction at our recent victories, which have not only cancelled Majuba, but all the past failures of our'generals. I THAT it was nice to see all the bunting flying in the High-street, as it showed the patriotic feeling of the inhabitants. THAT we mustn't be too perky, as the war has only just begun, and there is not much glory in winning by three to one. THAT we mustn't forget there have been some ghastly messes made by those in command which ought to be looked into. THAT most of those who had not seen the tele- grams thought the display of Hags on Thursday was either for Miss Evans' wedding, or might it be the birthday of Mr John Jones, Sefton. THE MAX IN THE STUKKT.

St. Asaph Chair Eisteddfod. THE filth annual Eisteddfod of the Congregation- alists (pastor, Rev. W. M. Jones) was held as usual on St. David's Day. The Eisteddfod this year proved more successful in the number of entries for the different competitions than any of the previous Eisteddfodau. Owing to this fact the committee decided to hold the first meeting on Wednesday evening. They found it difficult to manage to get through all the competitions. The first meeting was to be presided over by Mr R. LI. Jones, Rhyl, but he failed to be present owing to ill-health. The conductor, Huwco Penmaen, said the president had sent a donation towards the funds. The chief items were :—Challenge solo competition, prize, a silver cup (12 entries), winner: Mr David Ellis, Cefnmawr. Children's choir competition (two entered, but one only appeared, that of Denbigh) and the adjudicator (Mr E. D. Lloyd) awarded them half the prize of ^3, and the conductor (Mr D. Hughes) was invested and presented with a silver medal. Madame Burton Griffiths, of Chester, sang three times during the meeting, and received a hearty welcome, she being a great favourite with the Asaphites. The second meeting commenced at two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and the following pro- gramme was gone through. The president was Mr W. G. Thomas, Carnarvon, who gave a brief and stirring address. Challenge solo, for children; seven competitors, the silver medal being awarded to Miss Ada Williams. For the best ode, Cwyn yr amaethwr" (thirteen competitors), the prize of ios. 6d. was awarded to Mr W. Parry (Bardd y Glyn), Mostyn.

In the tenor solo competition the prize of ios. 6d., and a silver medal, was awarded to Mr Richard Jones, Llanarmon. Out of three Welsh idyls, the best was that of Mr Joseph Austen, St. Asaph. In the duet competition the prize of 15s. was given to Mr R. G. Jones, Denbigh, and Mr E. Barlow, St. Asaph. The Point of Ayr Male Voice was the only choir to compete for the prize of £ IOS. and a silver medal, the conductor (Mr J. Lloyd) being invested. The last meeting was commenced at 6 o'clock, and the National Schools was packed by that time. The president was Mr A. Lloyd Jones, Mayor of Denbigh, and we understand that he and Mr Thomas, the president of the afternoon meeting, presented the committee with handsome donations towards the funds of the Eisteddfod. The prize for the contralto solo was won by Miss Evans, Henllan, who gave a splendid rendering of "0 ryfedd groes." In the children's solo com- petition* for those under 14 years of age, the prize was won by Mr Richard Owen, Ffynongroew. For the best pincushion the prize was given to Mrs Edwards, Mount-road, St. Asaph she also took the prize for the nightdress case. For the best solo on the mandolin the prize was awarded to Miss Lewis, Birkenhead. In the chief choral competi- tion two choirs entered, Holywell United Choir and Bethania Choir, Ffryongroew. The test piece was "Worthy is the Lamb," the prize of £ 1 in cash and a gold medal, value £ 2, was awarded to the Holywell choir, and the conductor, Mr J. E. Pierce, was invested amid the cheers of the audience. The silver tea service was given to Miss Alice Hughes, Birkenhead, for the rendering of the best challenge solo (open to ladies). M. J. M. Jones, Rhyl, took the prize for the baritone solo, Arm, Arm, ye Brave and the silver cup for the challenge solo (open to gentlemen). The winner 01 the oak chair was Mr John Williams, Trawsfynydd, Merionethshire. The Eisteddfod was a perfect success in the number of competitors and the high standard of the competition. The adjudicators were Rev Rhys Hughes, Bethel, Carnarvon Rev T. Roberts, Mold; Mr Beriah Gwynfe Evans, Carnarvon; Mr E. D. Lloyd, Bethesda and others. The conductors were Huwco Penmaen, and Rev M. Davies. The duties of secretaries were ably performed by Messrs J. Simon and T. D. Thomas, Mr J. Williams, Dick's boot depot, acting as chairman of committee.
