CRICKET. LLANRWST v. THE TRAMPS (Liverpool). TIIE IIOME TEAM AGAIN VICTORIOUS. The Liverpool Tramp? jourrey to Llanrwst On Saturday ia order to fujiil a fixture with the homo flov^n. The Liverpool eleven la., a good reputation, but utterly collapsed before tie local "talent. The afternoon was beautifully line, and the pitch in excellent condition. The visi- tors TOI the toos, a:id decided to bit. Apple- tree and Thornton b mg the first to face the- txuJK.Sers. Cruvv-,i opened t'e bowling from the town end, Appletree driving his sceund de- livery for a couple. Cruwys, however, with his fourth delivery, scattered Thornton's wicket-i with a fine, break ball—1 for 3 runs. Vmer filled the gap, but was out Jb?-. to Cruwys'next I-all-2 for"3. Catceby. the skipper of the eleven, was th ? next man in, BLtçkwall bHvhng a maiden ever from the Bettws end. Cruwys, with the first ball in his sccond over, dismissed Catesby, ha\ing secured 3 v.ickets at a cost of 2 runs—3 for 3. Best next joined Appletree, but the latter succumbed t:) Blaekwall's second ball in his second over—4 for 3. Smith t.e¿> the vacancy. Ikvt drove a ball off Cruwys to O/ton, but tne "Pro.—pr^b.bly in a charitable mood—dreppeef an easy catch. Both batsmen exercised the g.-catesfc care, and confined them- selves to stopping the ball-s reaching their wic- kets, the voore in consequence ad\ai:cirig at a very ski"; rate. Smith returned Bluckwall's bdll with great force, but the amateur, al- though Ie stopped it, failed to hold the leather. The tickling of the home- eleven was exceedingly 6mart, Ilayes especially distinguishing himself. At last, Blade wall sent Smitu'e leg stump flying yards away past Carter—5 for 9. Da N- Iii joined Be:t. Thp latter drove Blaekwall to the boundary for 4- the fit- gewx? hit of the day. Immediately afterwards, he lost Davidson, who beaten by Cruwys—6 for 16. Ilaney, tho next man, commenced by driving Cruwys to the boundary for 4, repeating the feat a few moments after. Best, wuo had been playing a Eteady and useful innings at a time when it was badly required, was then bowled' by Black- wall, having scored 14, which included one 4 and two 2's-7 for 30. Bond, who joined Han- ey, skied one of Blaekwall's deliveries to Chis- holme, who h-elci-8 for 32. Porter joined Ilariey, but the latter immediately fell a vic- tim to Blaekwall, and gave way to Rochester. The latter experienced a similar fate from a ball off the. "mighty trundler." The venture realised 34 runs, the n'.?adly balling of Blaekwall and Cruwys hanixig proved too much for the Mersey men. Cruwys and Ashley opened the Llanrwst innings. Cruwys facing befit, who bowled from the Butt us end. Best, who is a fast bowler, has a peculiar method of delivery. Indeed, his bowling is dangerously near "throwing'' His firat over was a maiden. Ashley fac:d Smith bowling from the town end, and drove him in succession for a 2 ana' a 3, hitting the last ball of the over to the leg to Ú..c boundary for 4. Off Best, Cruwys brought off a lovely late cut for 2 and a pull for the same number. A maiden o\' 'i' followed. Cruwys again punished Best by a glide to the leg for Z, and a beauti- ful cut to the boundary for 3. Off Smith, Cruwys brought off a late cut tor 5, all run, and a fine drive for 4. W ith another "glido"' he put up the 30 on the board amidst applause. Smith now gave place to Haney, who bowled a maiden over. Cruwys, in attempting to hit to leg was out to Best, Ibw., having -O'.red a faultless 22, which consisted of one 4, three 3 s, three 2 s, and' singles—1 for 32. Orton joined Ashley, and signalised his appearance with a characteristic "glitte" for a single. Ashley fol- lowed with a lofty clrivo to the boundary off Ilaney for 4, the stroke being the winning one, and was consequently received with cheers. Ashley, shortly after, va, out to Best for ibw., having scored 18, consisting of two 4 s, one 3, a 2 and singles— a very clean and nretty display. The Rev D. Aiban Lloyd then joined the pro- fessional, and opened his contribution with a "glide for two off Be.st, and' a drive to the boundary for 3. Lloyd lashed cut at Ilane.y's deliveries, s'-orinr a three and a f ur. He was then cl-ean bowled by Ikvt at lo, which included one 4, two 3 s, a 2, and singles—3 for b3. Car- ter, We wicket-keeper, then entered the arena, but aft-cr a short period the players retired for tea, prepared "a la gipsy'' style in the field. On resuming, llar.ey k/U-wlcd tio.n t.-e Uettws end, a::o! Davidson from the town end. <5ff tho jauer, Carter effected a pretty glide or 3. but immediately alter Jcwt his partner, Davidson having knccked the pro.'s 1- g stump sky- wards. Orton had ,-cored 9 singles—4 for 76. Blaekwall joined Carter, and conii:i:r.ced ope- rations wit.ii a modewt unit, and then drove Haney for 3. Cli Hanej Blaekwall Jaehed out at a leg bail, and hit it with tremendous force toware's the pavilion. Smith clutcued it, and to everyone s surprise, held it—a magniJieent catch- iilackval! sec red a three and two singles..Nor- man Rogers Jones filled the vacancy. Best replaced Haney, but -Norman Jones was in line lorm. and drove to. the. pavilion for three, and brought off two tin.ely cuts for two and a tnree, the last *trc-k.> putting up tiie century on the s-onng board, iiaving ironed the fatal number ol 13, Jones was caught by Porter off Smith. Il;s fccore included two 3's, a two, and singles—a very pretty display. Ben Haves, tiie next batsman to appear, commenced what proved a remunerative ;nnmgs with a leg stroke ior tlisee. Carter tiioi a lolty shot to- wards tiie boundary, and was missed by Apple- tree on the border. Hayes punished Smith for 4 and 3, while Carter drove ti e ball to the bounuary for 4. After all excellent and lively iniiings, Carter was bowled by Bert- His con- tribution of 31 included one 4, two 3 s, three 2s and singles—7 for 135. Owcn joined Hayes. I he latter skied a bill to Catesby at Had on, but the skipper failed1 to hold. Owen epenou ,h a boundary for e. Hayes contri- t'svo tlii-ee's, by Owen with a "glide" for 4. Then Owen was caught by Catesby after .coring 9--3 for 153. E. Dav e; Jones joined Hayes, bat after "breaking his duel; ho was caught bloit(Ir on Cat sbv—9 for 155. Cnishchve cf football fame, was the cl f(2-o-,bz,ll last man to "face tho music- Having driven a ball to ware's the long held, both bat-men com- menced to run, bat the ball was smartlv re- turned, and Hayes was run cut after a liyelv and effective innings of 23, which included a 4, four 3 s. a two, and singles, the total contribu- tion of 158. li-)u. l(yn The scoring was as follows — LIVERPOOL TRAMPS.

LLANDUDNO v. BArdGQf?. THE SEASIDERS VICTORIOUS. iBy "Batsman ') Bangor visited Llandudno on Saturday, and the game was .-witnessed by a fairly good num- ber of spectators Bangor having won the tOss, batt<d fir-t, and the Llandudno eleven took the glorious weath r. -'Fbe visitors had com- filec a. eccre of 45 before their first wicket fell, and having made such a good start, put in I some steady batting, and1 when their seventh wicket fell they had compiled a score of 85. At 5.30 o'clock the visitors declared, having com- piled 109 for 7 wickets. This left the Llandud- no eleven an hc-ur and a quarter in which to win. C. N. Jones and A. N.Wills tcok the wickets first for the Llandudr.o eleven, but at a sco>ro of 17 tho partnership was broken, C. N. Jones succumbing to McLaehlan. Before their second wicket fell, however, they had compiled 38. ana. when the t.hird fell their had readied 08. Their total was 114 f :r six wickets, thus winning tho match. A. N- Wills accounted for a useful 47, and R. Sidcbotham fer 28 not out, which is his biggest score this season. There w as nothing extraordinary in the bowl- ing of either clubs. MeLachlan did well for the visitors, and C- V. Elias is a bowler who will proYc valuable to the Llandudno eleven. The Llandudno average was as follows:- Ovs. Mdns. Rns. Wkts. J II. Jones. 7 1 25 0.

COLWYN BAY TRAVELLERS v. RHYL. As a "travelling match," so far as the Col- WYn Bay side were concerned, intentions were JPí. ear net; out for Mr H. V. D. Da vies had at the last mcme.it to- take with him a M'ratch side composed of about three travellers and seve- ral local gentlemen, who, however, were able to beat Rhyl by 9 runs. Cchvyn Bay owed much to the splendid wic- ket-keeping or Mr Goodier, who had only one bye against hrim. Bert Dickem bowled excel- lently, and gave no chance, taking five wickets for six runs- G. Lapping, who made 30 not r ut, ai?o played well for Colwyn Bay.

L-C_ MANAGEMENT OF WATER. Mr J. B. Feiidiiig. manager cf Lord Denbigh's Fisheries, HolvweJl, North Wales, rends us ("Tfcie Fieid") a cüpy of a bock- let, which he ieeuct' giving gome hints and e-uggesticne on the oubjeet of water- farming and fishery management. It oontai116 not a. little ui-eful matter, i. well printed, and attractively illustrated. Mr Feiiding wirely tp. that a. man who owns a piece of water, and wiisbe.-j to stock it tthould afck himself what kind of lii-h will thrive best there, what is the natural food supply, aiiki, if there k> not enough, how it can be improved, and what head of fieh will the water hold. These questions are not, of course, easy to answer, and it is there that the value of an expert opinion comes in. Ae to the possible head of trout which a water will carry, Mr Feiiding eays "from 301b. to 120ib. per annum per acre," according to tho quality of the water and food supply, and the way in which they have been managed'. We can coon- mend thw pamphlet, which may euggeet uees for water, and even for waste land, hit-herto Dot thought of by their owners.

CHESS. IMPORTANT CHESS MATCH. CHESHIRE v. NORTH WALES. A match of 20 boards between teams selected respectively from the Chesh .re Association and the counties of Flint, Denbigh, a.nd Carnarvon was played at the Queen Hotel, Chester, on Saturday, resulting in a victory lor the Cheshire teaan by 12 g'ames to 7. The contest was ono ot peculiar interest to chess devotees in North Waies, having teen ar- ranged specia.ly with the obect of brmg.ng to- gether the Welsh players, in view of a suggested ie.deration for the three counties. The lesult, though not ah that could have been wished from a Welsh standpo.nr, was as favourable tis could have bed. fairly expected teie circum- st.oncCheshire, a.s a chess-)Jiving county, is one of tho- "ii cf t.:e L nifcct Kingdom; l>C6.:es.ng a splendid organisation, and number- ing anKjngvt- its playeis "shining lights'' of t-ho Liverpool a.nd Manchester clubs; and, though it did not on this occasion put forth anyth-ng like its full strengvh, taking the team throughout, it had at the upper boarus some of the best ex- jKMients cf the game to be found in the North of England. It was, therefore, a formidable task whiCii was set the oniy partiaJly-organleed North Wales forces; and if they failed to accomplish it they d.d well er ough to encourage them to re- peat the at empt c.n a future cccasien. A oomjMiriscn of the team lists befo 1 e p 'ay com- menced led to t tie conclusion that, while the re- sult at No. 1 board might be cons'dored doubt- ful, the Cheshire players would at the next- liva or six beards prove altogether top strong for tne r opponents. On ti.e other hand it was thought that the almost uniform strength of the next ten North Wales combatants would givo a fa rly long series of v.ens fcr the Principality at the middle Ixards. Tti's icreca.st, a.s wnl t e Goert from the &oro appended below, did not pixive altogether correct; for at No. 3 beard Mr George Paint cleverly defeated Mr Lund ex- onamfnon of Cheshire—while at No. 5 beard Mr George Whitehouse, the Wrexham secretary, achieved a very meritorious win from Mr Bur- w, of cck port.(; no of the best known and most experienced of the oounty players. The two Colwyn Bay men included in the "first Right" were successful, succumbing to the strong attacking powers displayed by Messrs 0 Feeley and Mr Sutcliffc.

Anccther report states that the grcuee aro locking extremely will; on the low ground some arc sitting, but on tho h-igher ground they were late in nesting. General!v speak.ng, it would appear that the cold and snow of March kept the bireus back, so that when the cccond cold f-pell of weather came in April only those birds on the lower grounds had be-gun to Jay. From Wales the reports are mueh the eair.c; when the enow and fio>t came iai April it was at first feared that many ncst-i must have been spoilt, but it wiie found that the cchi weather had kept the biid. back, and t,<1t not ma.ny had nested; new there its raid to be a good ttock of healthy birds, just beginning to tsit. It wiil be interesting to note the icsuits in the hatching out from t-he nests in t.o lower ground/, for probably so.rne of the cgg6 would have been laid before the April e-now; whether this snow acted as a proteciion ajjainot the frooto or not will be eeen later, when the hatching time arrives. It is quite possible that this may- be so. No uncovered eggi; would have with- stood the that occurred about the middle of April. Of courtc, something would depend upon the degree of frcfit endured, and whether the protecting o:ic\v preceded or followed it. On the whole, reports from all parts of the groavse districts state that, though the season may be a, late one. grout-e are exceptionally healthy this year, and that, with the exception of two or three isolated area-, there is very littlo mortality.

SHIPPING ENTENTE CORDIALE. The departure of Sir Thomas Shau-ghnessy, K.C.V.O., president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, on Friday last for Canada by the Allan Lino Royal Mail turbine steamer "Virginian," draws attention to the entente cordiale existing between these two great stealtiuhip companies, notwithstanding that they [Iro engage.d in a trade involving the keenest, competition. There h no question of the popularity of the two Allan Line steamers, the "Victorian" and i "Virginian." They were the first turbines built for the Atlantic trade, and are the only vessel? of that, type running to Canada, whilst tho marvellous performance of the "Lusitania" will strengthen the opinion of these advocates of this principle as the propelling power of the l future.

The conditions cf weather and water have becl great- ly iimproyed, and those anglers privileged to. lish in the private trout streams south of Shrewsbury ehould enjoy opurt with the March brown, duns, coeh-y-bond .u, ic-kham, and for evening the ever-popular coachman. Flies- for Shropshire atieauiis should be fairly large-winged patterns. There is as yet no sign of the appearance of the Mayfly, which occurs on the Rcdcn and Condover brook, and in .pare numbers en the Severn. In the Severn and Vyrnwv the natural minnow or gudgeon spun on a medium flight of triangles isi a. killing method of angling much in vogue among local fisheunen, who ciftentiniee take lwh of several pounds in weight by this means. The heavy water of late has douibtle-a? brought some salmon and po-sibly a few sea trout also into the mid and upper reaches of the Severn and Vyrnwy. A few year, a'60 sa'rnon netting in certain of Shropshire and Montgomeryshire was carried on with more or less sucees.s, but nowadays one rarely hears of a salmon being so taken in the Shrev/bury district.—Corydo-n.

OTTEn HUNTING. 13ORDER COUNTIES (NORTH WALES). The meet on Tuesday week was at the junction of the Tanai and Vyrnwy to hunt the former irivcr. Hounds at once announced a trail, but it ga.ve out 011 reaching Llanyblodwel, which made it appear as though the otter had gone down to the Vyrnwy. Near the vicarage the pack opoke to a fresh dra.g, which \\a.s carried up the river on a rather patchy scent to Peny- bont, when the line was taken up the Llansilln Brook for some distance. The trail, however, becoming fainter, a move was made back to the Tana,t, and the river drawn up past Llangedwyn, with only all occasional whimper, until at Pentre- felin an otter was marked in a wooden fence on the wateivide. The quarry was shortly after- wards observed making down stream, and for about two hours a rather sticky hunt ensued, several large hovers on. the right bank of the river offering plenty of protection. Hounds were eventually stopped when the day was al-- most spent, after having liecn working for fully nine I.oiirii without cessation.—Red Dragon in "Tho Field."
