The play aft/r this was of a tame nature and the interval a.: ri ,cd with Mold leading by 2 goals to 0. In the second half Mold contaually pressed the visitors, but no mere goals were scored, tho game thus tcmiina- tiag with a victory for Mold of 2 goals to nil. The pick of the local team was Jones, the left half. In the lines of Mold Î eam there appeared two new players. Robert Francis Bithell bright half), and John Rob-rts (outside left) who gave a very gecd account of themsehes.

NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. PWLLHELI v. FESTINIOG. (lly "Ricardo.") Pwllheli 5 Festiniog 2 This match took place on Saturday at Pwll- heli in fine weather. There were six changes in the home team owing to injuries, etc., Thompson, George Jones, Ben. Evans, A. Duguid, and R. D. Roberts, standing down for Arthur Hughes, James Ellis, ill Grillith, Johnny W illiams, and Johnny Jcne3. i'rompt to time Mr R. D. Richard., Bangor, th ? referee, lined the contestants as iollo .vs :— Pwllheli: Sam Roberts; Rhcs and Aithur Hughes; James Ellis, Bob Ellis (capt.), and Bob Jones, Will Griffith, Mosoley Jones, Johnny J ones, and Charlie Morris. Festiniog: Joe Hughes; T. Hugv.eg and Jim Lloyd; Moss Roberts, Jack Jones, and R. Hughes; R. Roberta, W. W IJliams, Meirion Jones (capt.), J. A. Jones, and Ned Griffith. The visitors won the toss. The hom< stera prcrsed at the start, and looked like getting through The forwards played brilliantly, and their final shot Nacnd the goalkecp:r. The visitors took up the play in nllcllieHt, and at- tempted several Limes to break up the de". cnd- ing ranks, but failed. The Festiniog men fumbled an:1 then Will Griffith was seen run- ning along the wing. Jim Lloyd cleared in the nidi of time. The visitors wera awarded a free kick and a goal was notched by them soon afte:wards. The Pwllheli men thus awakened, J'aided the visitors goal, but the custodian and Jim Lloyd defended well. Yet the onslaught was renewed. At last Jchnny Williams netted the ball. Though the hostilities were very lively and interesting, no furtnex scoring took place during the first half. On resumption of play the home team at- iacked, and in less than seven minutes they got throe more goals. The visiting forwards, thoug'ji a persistent lot, could not vanquish the home backs- Play slackened somewhat now, and the one-back game was played by the Quaxrymen. This frequently placed the home team offside. Jim Lloyd got possession of the ball, and from a throw-in the visitors put on another goaL The Pwllheli men evidently did not relish the success of their opponents, and they played energetically. The visiting backs were powerlevss at this stag's, and Moseley got an opening, and notched the 5th goal- The home custodian had not much to do throughout the cutest, whereas Joe HugPiles was kept busy. He could not be blamed for the two shots that beat him. Rhos and A. Hughes did not play up to their usual form, but on the whole they gave a co-editable ac- count of themselves. Bob Jones and Bob Ellis did well. All the forwards played well, Moss- ley beang the pick. The best men on the Fes- tiniog side were Joe Hughes, Meirion Jones, and Jim Lloyd. The referee performed his arduous duties in a praiseworthy manner. Re- sult Pwllheli 5 goals, Festiniog 2 goals.

ALUMtKIURA ROVERS v. PENRHIW- FtAIADR UNITED- Aluminium 1 Penrhiwraiadr 0 These teams met on Saturday, at Talycafn, in favourable weather, and before a fairly large gate. Mr Henry Jones lined up the teams as follows:—■ Aluminium Rovers Finchett; W. Roberts and J. Williams; Tally, Lovell, and Gerard; Charlie King, Tudor Williams, Tom Cleve, Evan Jones, and Will Evans. Penrhiwraiadr United: Reggie Chambers; .Will (Bangor) and Thompson; Walters, David Rees, and Godfrey; Joe Hughes, Ward, Hutton, J. Brown, and J. Porter. The Aluminium won the toss, and placed the United to face the sun. At the start there was not much to choose between the teams, the de- fence on both sides, for the most part, being sound. The United attacked, but were easily repulsed. Finchett was twice tested, and he saved his charge at the expense of two successive corners, which, however, availed nothing. The Rovers worked their way up the field, and the forwards, led by Cleve, potted well at goal, but without success. King put in a shot which Thompson cleared nicely. Eventually, Hutton, the pivot, made an opening for the United, but Williams relieved. The next move was made by the visitors, Porter making a desperate effort to score, but Roberts cleared with a huge kick. Evans, by his play, successfully worked his way through the back line, and sent in a sparkling shot at Reggie, who cleared safely. The United had a turn at pressing, and Finchett was several times called to save dangerous shots. In the pressure the pivot of the home team lost many opportunities to score. At half-time there was a clean sheet. In the second half, the game was very even. Evan was determined to show off his Junior Cup form, and, having successfully passed Wal- ters, he gave a timely pass to Bill Evans, who centred the ball, but Tudor failed to come in time. The struggle waxed fast and furious, each side being visited in turn. Cleve gained possession of the ball, and passing to King, the outside right, sent the ball to the goal mouth, and Evan headed the leather into the net. The play for the last 15 minutes was indeed of the cup-tie order, both teams showing brilliant foot- ball. Time was called with the score reading: Aluminium, 1; United, 0.

DOLGARROG NOTES. The Aluminium fully deserved their one goal, Whilst the defence of the homesters did its share towards maintaining the team's record, there was nothing incisive about the attacking line. < « Finchett, the visitors' custodian, gave a splen- did exhibition, clearing every attack. The defence cleverly kept Hutton and Jones from finding the Rovers' net. < The full-backs were indeed smart. it Some interest was felt as to how Gerard would play as left half. He proved himself a very capable successor to Tommy, and delighted the spectators with his tricky bouts of feeding. Lovell and Tally were in their usual form. • • • • • Evan was in brilliant form, and was deter- mined in his forward movements. • • • • • Tom Cleve was very quick on the ball, and showed some useful foot-work. » » » Tudor was rather anxious to score, and occasionally lost control of the ball. 0 x King was very dashing, delivering some beau- tiful corner kicks to the goal mouth. « < Reggie saved some magnificent shots from Evant and King. w w w Thompson, undoubtedly, was the pick of the home team: he was stalwart and played strong- .I.L Wil! (Bangor) played better in the half-back line. « « The home forwards were lacking in smart- ness, and their opponents made many threaten- ing raids. < < < Of the half-backs, Walter was the most pro- minent, was quick, and played a magnificent game. « Rees played rather a plodding game, forget- ting his position occasionally. < Godfrey was quite safe, tackling his opponents vigorously and feeding his forwards with pre- cision. » » The forwards were fndeed disorganised: J. Porter should act. as pivot. Hutton was rather greody: anxious to score, I expect. Joe Hughes gave a good example of his shcot- mg powers, and Ward was not at all in form. • » • Brown's passes were a treat.

NORTH WALES COAST FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. MEETING AT CONWAY. A meeting of the above was held at the Plas Mawr Kcstauranf, Conway, on Wed- nesday evening. Mr J. H. Vincent, Llan- dudno, presided, there being aLo present, Messrs J. Llewelyn Williams, Holywell (secretary), Hubbard (Rhyl), J. Griffith (Flint), Morgan (Carnarvon), Willmann (Bangor), Davies (Tal-y-bont), Henry Lloyd (Conway), Percy Weekes (Holvhead), George Micklewright (Colwyn Bay), and the Pwllheli representative. St. Asaph Athletic F.C., Mostyn F.C., and Rhuddlan F.C., were admitted to member- ship of the Association, Pwllheli and Taly- bont were granted conditional permission to hold football competitions, Holywell Vic- toria Athletic F.C., were granted permission to give a benefit match to Robert Edwards, one of their old players, who had met with an accident. CONWAY'S SUSPENDED PLAYERS The Secretary read a letter from Mr Robert Jones, secretary of the Conway club, asking the Association to remove the sus- pension imposed on a number of Conway players. Mr Henry Lloyd, Conway, proposed that the suspensions be removed, as the club were very short of players, but this found no seconder. It was decided to suspend Portmadoc F.C. from participating in the Amateur Cup, and other competitions until they had paid debts which they owed the North WTales Coast League and other clubs. A BANGOR PROTEST. A lettor was read from the secretary of Bangor Club, complaining of the conduct of a Holyhead player after the League match, Holyhead v. Bangor, played at Holyhead.

NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. BANGOR COMBINATION PLAYERS AND THE LEAGUE. The North Wales Coast Football League have a new rule which prohibits players who have assisted in three or more Combination matches taking part it the matches of the League. This rule has met with considerable adverse criticism by the Bangor Club, who, at a special meeting of the League yesterday (Wednesday evening), at the North-Western Hotel, Bangor, proposed that the rule be deleted on the ground that it is "unjust and unfair, and applicable to only one club in the League." Much interest centred in the meeting, over which Mr J. O. Davies, Colwyn Bay, presided, and the other voting representatives present were Messrs D. Jones (Holyhead), E. Jones (Pwllheli), L. M. Anderson (Bangor), Lewis Jones (Carnar- von), R. J. Jones (Llanrwst), Sergeant McElwee (Beaumaris), E. Thomas (Denbigh). T. Edwards (Conway), T. Goodman Jones (Festiniog), O. Jones (Llandudno), R. D, Richards (Bangor), hon. treasurer, and E. Lloyd Williams (Bangor), hon. secretary. At the outset, Mr Briercliffe, Beaumaris, direct- ed attention to the fact, that Bangor had three votes that evening, for in addition to their own representative, the treasurer and secretary, both from Bangor, were entitled to votes. He did not think it was right. Several members here pointed out that it would be unfair to alter the rules just to deal with that particular matter. Mr R. J. Jones, Llanrwst, said it was a matter of policy. Mr Briercliffe gave it as his opinion that the rule by which the treasurer and secretary were entitled to votes was not intended for meetings of that kind, but rather for Executive Committee work. Mr R. D. Richards, Bangor, pointed out that the secretary and treasurer of the Welsh Asso- ciation were Wrexham men, but still they had votes. That matter should have been considered when he and the secretary were appointed. Mr Lewis Jones, Carnarvon, protested against anv alteration of the rules that evening. The posts, he pointed out, were quite honorary, and were they going to deprive the treasurer and secretary of the little privilege attaching to them? Mr Anderson, Bangor: I shall insist that they vote. Mr Briercliffe wished it to be clearly under- stood that he had no wish to introduce any per- sonal feeling, but it was only right that the two officials, being interested in the Bangor club, should refrain from voting. The Chairman also agreed that it was not right that Bangor should have three votes. Mr Lewis Jones: But you must abide by your own rules. The Chairman: Of course we cannot prevent them from voting, but it would be gentlemanly on their part if they refrained from doing so. Mr Anderson: I shall insist upon them vot- ing. The Chairman: And I say it will be ungentle- manly on their part to vote. Supporting the motion, Mr Anderson remark- ed that the rule was clearly intended to cripple Bangor, who; if the rule was continued, would have to retire from the Combination. He ap- pealed to them not to allow such an unsportsman- like rule to remain in force. Mr R. J. Jones, Llanrwst, seconded the dele- tion of the rule. Mr R. D. Richards illustrated Mr Anderson's point, saying that one of the Bangor full-backs declined to play with the Combination team on account of the objectionable rule, which would strengthen and not injure the League team. Mr Briercliffe agreed that if there waa anv weakness in the rule, it was because it affected the player, and as one of the framers of the rule he had to admit that it never struck him in that light., and he thought it might be relaxed .in favour of the players. He wished it to be understood that it did not matter one iota to Beaumaris whether the rule was in force or not. The eleven clubs in the League were evenly balanced, but the Bangor Combination-League team upset that balance. When Bangor were without a Combination fixture they put on a strong League team. Probably the gentleman who spoke about the rule being unsportsmanlike did not mean what he said. Mr Anderson: I still say so. Mr Briereliffe: Then you are the first gentle- man to accuse Mr Briercliffe of unsportsmanlike conduct. Mr Richards: Mr Briercliffo admits that it is a weak rule. Mr Briercliffe No, I don't. Mr Lewis Jones, Carnarvon, who described the Carnarvon team as men of peace, remarked that three or four of their men had signed on for Bangor Combination, and they were glad that they had such a privilege, but the Carnarvon club had the first claim upon them. It was not right to have one club jealous of another (hear, hear). Mr 0. E. Jones, Llandudno, favoured the re- tention of the rule, as also did Mr D. Jonee, Holyhead, who asserted that when the Bangor League team was hard pushed, Combination play- ers were introduced (cries of "No, no"). Mr D. Jones: Yes, I can prove it. Mr Briercliffe: What about Beaumaris? (hear, hear). Mr D. Jones: Holyhead were once robbed of the honours of the League, simply because Ban- gor introduced Combination players into their League team. Bangor import players from all I parts of the country, and under the present sys- tem we might have a League team in opposition to the pick of the whole League under the name of Bangor. Mr D. Jones said that the League was becom- ing a Bangor concern. He moved that the vett- ing should be by ballot. The Chairman: If we have not the courage to hold up our hands, we might as well stay away. By seven votes to six the rule was deleted. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE. The Executive met after the special general meeting, when all clubs were represented by the same representatives that attended the first meet- ing. Llandudno Amateurs were reported for being 45 minutes late at Holyhead, on October 3rd, and Blaenau Festiniog were also reported for arriving at Beaumaris on the same date 35 minutes late. Both clubs were fined. Protests by Bangor against Beatiiiiaris for sign- ing on two of their Combination players were discussed, and eventually one protest was with- drawn, and the other was dismissed. A sub-committee, consisting of the following, were elected to try and form East, West, and Central Second Division of the League, viz. Messrs P. Weekes. Holyhead; R. D. Richards, Bangor; R. J. Jones, Llanrwst; D. n. Hughes, Denbigh; Sergeant Mc- Elwee, Beaumaris, and the Hon. Secretary (E. Lloyd Williams). The time of kick-off for November was fixed for 3 p.m., and it was decided that the next Ex- ecutive meeting be held at Carnarvon.

DEATH OF THE RECTOR OF J-iIiAiNDDOUET. The death took place of the Rev. J. Pugh Evans, rector of Llaiiddogot, ne-ar Llanrwst, to- day week. The dtcoasaei, who was '/5 years of age, was the son of the late Mr Joihn Evans, of Loveegrove, Aberystwyth, and was one of a quartette of notable brothers, the others being ir Griffith Evans, K.S.I.E. (who was knighted in 1887 for his conspicuous services, to 'the Indian Executive Governmeait), Mr Lewis Pugh Evans (late M.P. from 1880 to 1865 for Cardiganshire, who succeeded his brother, Sir Grillith, as leader of tihe Indian Bar), and the Rev. David Pugh Evans (Canon of St. David's). He was appointed to Llanddoget in 1886, and thus ministered them fur ovor twenty-two years, during w-hicih period he effected oolls.idcrable iijiprdvoments in the day school promises and the Parish Cihurch. The dcccasod, who was much beloved by his parish- ioners, was indefatigable in his ministrations to the sack and needy, and his chairity was un- bounded. Neither did he confine his efforts within the limits oif this own parish, but extend- ed them to the outlying portions of the large parishes of Eglwysbach anct Llanrwst, which boir- dier on tihe Llanddoget parish. He was ap- pointed the first chairman of the Parish Coun- cil in Llanddoget, and continued to occupy that position until' his last illness overtook him five) years ago. It is significant of the broad-minded spiriit in which he performed his duties as chair- man, when it is recorded that in each uneeting subsequent to his retirement a vote of sympathy with him was passed by a Council composed en- tirely off Nonconformists. The f-wileral, which was confined to near re- lations, personal friends, and parishioners, took place at Llanddoget Parish Church on Monday afternoon. The servioe was conducted by the ltov. J. Morgan, Llanrwst (rural dean), Rev. J. Titley Williams, and the Rev. J. Cardigan Wil- liams, cu rate-in-charge. The chief inoumeirs were Mr Griffith Evans (nephew), Mr Herbert Owain Pugh, D.S.O. (nephew), Mr liowel Ed- wards (nephew), solicitor, London, and Mr Grif- fith Evans, Abergele (nephew). The servioe at the church was attended by a large number of parishioners and porsonal friends, mongst whomi wore MajcT Priddle, Plas Madoc; Mr J. E. Humphreys, Llanrwst; Mr E. Jones Owen, N. and S.W. Bank; Dr. Owen, Llanrwst; Mr and' Mrs Watling, Fron Ganol, and Mr E. P. Hughes, Llanrwst. Wreatihs wece sent by Mr and Mrs Pughl Evans (son and daughter-in-law), Mrs Pugh, Abermaod (sister-in-law), and family; Lady Evans (sister-in-law) and family, Lovesgrove; Mrs D. Pugh Evans (sister-in-law), Mrs Parker (sister), Mr and Mrs Howel Powell (nephew), St. Tudno Ledge C'f Freemasons, Llanddoget Church Choir and Suauday School, Major and!

J. and Mrs Cardigan Williams, Mrs Peters Roberts, Mil and the Misses Lenthall, Belmont; Miss Penny, Mr and Mrs Fletcher and othors. The service in the church was choral, and t'he Welsh hymns, "Yn y dylfroedd moawr a'r tonau" and "0 Fryniau Ctiiersalom" were sung with) groat fervour by the large congregation. Tho coffin was carried frcoi the Rectory to thes church by members of the congregation, and t.hel chief bea-rers were Mr Wm. Williams and Mr Wm. Jones (churchwardens), and Messrs F. Litherland and W. E. Roberts (sidesmen). The pulpit and reading desk were draped with black r cloth, and beautifully decorated with white flow- ers by Miss Roberts, School House.

TALES OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. By GEORGE EDGAR Author of Seaside Stories," Pagan Billy Gubb ris," "Tarradiidies," "Love at the Prow," "Roadside Romances," &c. I.—THE CURATE'S INTERVENTION. I. Jack Fothergill was known fts a good old has been." In trie town of Iggleborough he kept a tobacconist's shop. At the back of it was a divan with many prints on the wall, mostly eporting, many pugilistic, and the majority illustrating the features of Iggle- borcuigh football lights past and present. If one were an intimate, the divan at the back of the shop was a comfortable place to sit and have a talk with Jack; and Jack, besides being an ex-everything in sport—football, cricket, boxing, and the like-wols in hJ6 maturity an excellent and popular raconteur. Many an hour have I spent in Fothergill's divan, chewing a cigar as the old e.portsman told yarns of past and present chapters in the sporting history of Iggleborough. Did I ever tell you how the parson made good in Iggleborough7 Jack asked one night as we sat. together, alone, in a room which was mostly occupied by its owner's friends. 1 ought to tell you this, for it's the best yarn that ovrr was, Did I tell you? No. I doii't think you've ever told me anythlllg auout a parson." Well, here goes," ho said, as he filled a glass and pushed the decanter across the table in iny direction. It's a funny yarn. "It was when 1 u&ed to play inside left for Tggl,:bor,)u,,Ii, wtieu Igg,. uiigli a fcot- ball team, and always readied the semi-finals, and onee got home with the pot. Iggleborough was a lively town in these days. The ironworkers were doing well, had plenty of mon^y to spend, and were an easy- going, rough and-ready lot, thinking more about, sport than anything else. It wilt3 juat then that the Rev. Stephen Oakes came to be vicar in charge of St. Luke's. It was a church in the worst part of the town. The actual vicar, after working hard to make some impression, had practi- tally to i-,tire in ill-liealth at least, he was abseut ten months out of twelve, and the Rev. Stephen Oakep came in his place, as curate in elmrge. "We didn't think much of old Steve. a-s we called him (behind his back) in those days. He was a namby-pamby looking chap, wore an eyeglass in one eye, haw-hawed like a musical comedy Johnny, and wore kid gloves- In physique he was a big, well-set-up, fair man, was clean shaven, and somewhat stern in expression. He came to Iggleborough and found the parish church empty, and the first Sunday he preached he said he intended to wak<'ri the town up. It did not waken up much. Nothing in the sky pilot line ever woke up Iggleborough. A football match would take every able- bodied man 111 the district who had the time to the Green, but nothing the Rev. Stephen Oakes could do made any difference. They simply tulerat.ed the parson, mimicked his haw-haw manner, and little boys even imitated the eyeglass by walking after him with pennies in their eyes. I think it was the window pane that stood moot in the way of the curate but the fact remains he wns voted too much the gentleman to be of any good in Iggleborough, and for the meet part preached to a handful of faithful church- goers who only served, by their presence, to shew how empty the church really was. To give the parson-man credit, he did his best. But he did not understand us and we did not understand him, and so he never made much headway amongst us. Now, we had a good team in those days. I was in it. and that meant something— that's my international cap hanging in the case there—and ttwre was Jack Driver, the finest outside I-eft I've ever qe(,n. 1 played to him from inside, and when the ball got going we always gave the spec/atore run for their money. Jack was a big man, rather overbearing, insolent now and again, and too ready to tako offence and put his dooks up. In fitet, in the tetm he was the most un- popular member, though as a footballer he was the idol of the town. Well, just about a fortnight before the final of the County Cup Competition a funny thing happened.. One Friday night, Jack Driver had just had sufficient drink to be quarrelsome, and he picked a quarrel with a little inoffensive man who happened to be in the same taverii-tlic Magpie. They took {he altercation outside after eleven, and, in a quiet, dark street near to the market-place. Driver set savagely on the little man, and gave it him slap dash up and down the pave- ment. And just then the curate passed on his way homewards—the curate, with his one eyeglass, his dress pants carefully creased, his kid gloves on his hands, and his evening boots shining with the reflection from the street lamps. He stopped suddenly to watch the nght, and then, grasping the situation, said something like this, only I cannot imi- titt-e ttie drawl: Haw—er—yon—you big I)ttlly Jack Driver arrested another drive at the frightened little man's face. Did I unnerstand you to address any ob- servation to me?' he said to the curate, with laboured politeness. liziw--er-yAae, I made a truthful ob- servation. 1 said—haw—you were a bully. On Considering the mattah calmly '—the cur- ate pulled out his glass and fixed it firmly in his eye again, and looked Driver over criti- cally—' 1—haw—repeat the observation. You are a buliy.' "Sevcral men in the crowd laughed and maddened Driver. Haw,' he said, in impertinent imitation —* haw, do you repeat that observation? Well, look ahere, I don't care what any one-win- dowed, haw-haw sky-pilot thinks—see? But I'd advise you to get home to the milk-bottle or I'll just put you through it, too.' The curate took out his eyeglass and carefully placed it in his waistcoat-pocket. In addition to—haw—being a bully you are impertinent,' the parson said, curtly, and began to walk through the crowd. Here, not so fast,' said the angry Driver, pushing his way in front of the curate. f Look here, my man, get out of the way,' Oakes said. Driver caught hold of the curate's ulster and brought him to a standstill. "'Don't "my man" me, and don't-' began Driver, hotly. Will you-haw-get out of the way?' I will—haw—not,' said Driver, putting a big closed fist near the curate's nose. "Just then Driver got the surprise of his life. The curate stood back a foot, knocked up the outstretched arm with hie left, and planted his right fist on Driver's jaw with a force that made his teeth rattle. "The crowd, who had been imitating the parson's haw-haw' method of elocution, stopped jeering. That's a oner for Driver,' said one boy of sixteen, who stood critically surveying the scene with a penny stuck in his eye. Without a moment's reflection, Driver made a dash for the curate and lunged out ferociously. One of his lunges caught the black-clothed cleric on the mouth and shook all the demon in him up to the top. It was an unlucky day for Driver. The curate feinted and drew the next blow then in a manner distinctly professional hie left rattled one side of Driver's head, his right followed on the footballer's breadbasket, and, as Driver bent slightly, the left came again with a Bwift upper cut that sent him whirling to the pavement. He fell with a terrible crash on the kerb, hie right hand outstretched, and he did not move. The curate, amid a silence that was now respectful, looked him over, and one grip of the arm told him the worst trouble-it had been fractured by the fall. Without a mo- ment's hesitation the parson had a cab called, bundled the footballer into it, and drove him off to the infirmary." II. Old Tom Moreton, the saddler, and presi- dent of the club, came into my house the nexl day and told me all about it. Here's a bonnie do,' he said. A fort- night from the final, and the curate net only givee Driver a hiding, which he deaerves, but goes and outs him with a broken arm, which is unlucky for us. We simply can't do with- out him now, and the Cup won't come our way with Driver off." What arc you going to do about it?' I asked. Dunno,' he said. But in the meantime I'm going to see Mr. Oakes. Driver is off work, and the committee think he is to blame and have stopped his money. I'm going to see if the curate will do anything.' Suppose I come too? I suggested. Tom Moreton seemed relieved by the suggestion. It was obvious he wFt3 not keen on facing the curate alone. Together we went to the curate's apart- ments, and were shewn into the big, roomy study in which the curate practically lived. We looked round as we waited for the curate to come down. Fencing foils,' sug- gested Tom, looking at the pair all the wall. Cricket, too,' I answered, eyeing a well- kept bat which hung near. Boxing,' con- tinued old Tom, surveying a portrait of the curate stripped and with the mufflers on, with a lot of useful muscles cn the breast and shoulders, which gave us a different idea of the Rev. Stephen Cakes. Seems to me One-eye is a bit hotter than he looks,' I said. A bit of a Tartar, I should fancy. Who'd a-thought it?' murmured old Tom. Just then the Rev. Stephen Oakes came into the room. "'Haw—good-evening, gentlemen,' he be-. yan, in his best, meek curate style. :> "'Good-evening—er—sir,' said old Tom, reluctantly tacking on the courtesy title. It's like this,' old Tom bee,i. I'm the President of the Iggleborough Football Club, and the man you knocked out last night was Jack Driver.' I've—haw—heard that,' said the curate. Well,' continued Tern, the committee think it's his fault, and opinion ssenis to bear it out, so they're stopping hia money.' I'm sorry to hear that. It was his fault, but I don't want them to stop his money.' It will be bad for him if they do,' More- ton said, 'for he won't be about for weeks with his broken arm.' Well, I'm sorry,' said th-e curate. 'I'm the most unlucky man in the town. No one can accuse me of being popular, and here I am, mixed up in a street fight and respons- ible for putting a man on the cick-list for weeks. That will not help me much in the parish.' Old Moreton wagged his head. I dunno,' he said the folk would have liked it if it hadn't been Driver, but Driver's the laet man you should have tackled.' How do you mean? asked the curate. Why, it's like this,' I broke in. Folks about here like a bit of sport, and they'll think all the more of you for being clever at docks up. But they'll not like you settling Driver because he'll be missing in the Cup Final, and we cannot replace hiiii.' Yes, and we shall lose the Cup,' said Tom, despondently. The curate sighed. That seems to make it worse,' he said. I I can make it up to Driver all right—put me down for ten pounds if he needs the money-but I cannot afford to have it said that I lost that Cup.' "'That,' caid old Tom, ominously, 'is as true as steel. When folks know, you'll be the best-hated man in town.' "Then, just at that moment, I noticed another photo on the wall. It shewed the curate in a jersey and knickers, and there was no mistaking the Oxford shirt and cap. "I pull-ad Tom's sleeve. 'Look there,' I said, pointing to the photo. If he's good enough for the 'Varsity he's good enough for us.' 11 1 By gow exclaimed old Tom, slapping his knee, he is. That's it, sure enough. You've got us into the hole and you ought, as a sport, to get us out. You'll play, sir!' The courtesy title was given without hesita- tion. But you forget I'm a-' Parson be blowed old Tom shouted. e'll not forget, and if you only pull us out there won't be a lad or a lass or a man or a woman who won't know you are a parson too. Will you play?' If you think so—yes,' the curate said, reluctantly, as he shewed us out. I and old Tom went off very much elated and reported progress." III. When they put out the selected team on the Wednesday, on the usual board outside the clubroom, the news that the curate was in Driver's place spread like wildfire, and the disgust of the town knew no bounds. Driver's loss had been a bitter blow, but to put up the namby-pamby curate with the single eyeglass was adding insult to injury. The match was played at a town fcrty miles away, so, fortunately. Iggleborough was not represanted in the field in full, or the spectators would have lynched the curate as soon as he entered the arena. The few thousands who saw the team de- part hissed him as he rolled up in a hansom, unci there was a chilly silence as he passed along the platform to the 6aloon through the hundreds who went by the same train to see their team do battle for the Cup. They wero too despondent to hiss. They felt, when they saw the well-known eyeglass and the curate with his refined mannerisms, that they were going to a funeral instead of the Final Tic between Iggleborough and Glowton. lIe could never take stalwart Jack Driver's place. Even the players in the saloon did not greet him cordially. But when the train started the curate dropped his reserve. Now, lads,' he said, be sportsmen, and treat me as one of yourselves. It's not the first time by a hundred that I've travelled with a football team.' The curate did his share to break the ice, the men and the committee did theirs. Within a few minutes all the reserve had gone, and they forgot even the coming struggle listen- ing to the curate's racy stories of sport at the 'Varsities. How the match took place might be told at great length. It took nine columns of the Iggleborough Gazette to tell of the events of that day. How Jack Driver sulked on the ground and made a prophecy that was a wish that the curate would not come off in the place he had occupied so long. How the Iggleborough contingent of spectators hissed and cat-called when the blond curate came out in the town colours, and how, when they had hissed and cat-called to their hearts' con- tent, they fell to grudgingly allowing that that every bit of the man was built all right for football. How the two teams began, to the call of the whistle, and how the thousands of spectators were worked into a fever of ex- citement as the minutes sped by and one of the fastest and most exciting games of the season was unfolded. There was I, in the forwards, with an un- known wing, and wondering how we should go on. The game had begun at a punishing rate. The first time the opposing wing came down he tricked the parson and centred splendidly. Ten thousand spectators held their breath until the danger was over. The next time the opposite wing came down I held my breath, but this time the new wing was feeling his way. He neatly charged the flying wing off his ball and took possession. The ball went racing to the Glowton goal. Oakes tricked them all in a masterly manner, and centred with an accuracy and a quickness that drew a wild cheer from the Iggleborough spectators. I knew he was all right from that moment, and we played with a steady confi- dence in each other to the end. It was by no means an easy thing; the game was fast and furious. All through, the match was any- one's game. Within the first twenty minutes Glowton charged the Iggleborough goal. The ball went down the right side like machinery it was put straight into the goal mouth, and four forwards simply smothered our goal- keeper as they rushed it through. News went to the old town we were a goal behind at half- time. But on the restart the game had not gone five minutes before I got hold. I looked round; Oakes was there to an inch. The ball went, and both the parqpn and the man mark- ing him were on it. The Glowton man rushed but missed the ball. The parson shouldered him six yards off on to the grass. Back came the ball to me, outside again to the parson, who took it down the field like a racehorse. The men from Iggleborough held their breath, but the parson waa as safe as houses. He centred it on to the very boots of one man we had un- marked, and plunk went the ball like lightning into the oentre of the net. After that tho bail triveiled syex the field likf lightning. Twenty minutes from time it was still one-one; fifteen minutee, then ten. How we played Kick and rush; up the field, theD down; now swinging to the attack, now hope- lessly beaten back and defending our own goal. And then suddenly I got the ball again, I eent it spinning out to the left. Again the curate was on it, again the mad rush to the opposite goal, again the deadly centre as accurate ae,a bullet, again the shot for goal by the forward. There was a dead, tense silence. The shot was headed by sheer luck out of the goal by the Glowtc-n keeper. Oakes found it, arriving on his follow-up just in time for another shot, again in the mouth of the goal, and Iggleborough rushed it through, spreadeagling the goalkeeper as they charged. Of the wild scene for the remaining minutes of the match, of the yell of triumph from the Iggleborough spectators when time went, of the rush to shoulder the curate to the pavilion, and of the clamouring crowd at the station I need not tell you. But one thing does remain to be said. St. Luke's Church next Sunday had a congrega- tion no church ever had in the town before, and one of the first to arrive v.as Jack Driver, who still wore his arm in a sling. I don't say every seat in the church is occu- pied every night, but anyone will (.all you that St. Luke's has a bigger congregation than any church in town, and Jack Driver, who i6 on the the If like me, is people's warden to this day. Old Steve, as every man, woman, and child calls the vicar (for he succeeded to the living) to this day, never played publicly again, but he is still President of the club. He still wears his eyeglass, too. and haw- w haws when stuck for a phrase. But since the men of Iggleborough saw him strip and centre and half win the Cup Final they've got past the crust of the man, and learnt to soe into hie heart. And if the vicar w-cre a dozen single glasses no boy would put a penny in his eye and mimic him without get- ting his head promptly and thoroughly punched."

I naturally objected in the interest of the teacher to this reduction, as she wns powerless to contest the matter against Le albitrafy "Staff Committee," and after somo months of persistent appeal to the Board of Education, I ultimately received from the Board the fol- lowing letter :— Board cf Education, Whitehall, 31st August, 19C8.

I English and Welsh Markets. CATTLE. LIVERPOOL, Monday.—A substantial in- crease in the number of cattle on offer. Few<:A buyers in attendance abused trade to be very slow and lower for all classes. Very few lota changed ha.nds at last week's prioes. An in- crease of 2500 in the supply of sheep in market. This had a most injurious effect on trade, windt was very slow. The slight improvement in prices obtained on Monday last was not sustained, and values were quite 2ii I-owor. Prices:—Beef, 6d to 4!J; mutton, 7d to 5d per lb. At market: 1793 cattle and 10,817 sheep. WREXHAM, Monday.—The supply of stock" at to-day's market was on average one. Beef met a steady demand, but pigs sold slowly. The trade all round, however, was a fairly satisfac- tory one. Beef realised from 6^d to 7^d per lb., mutton and Lamb 8d to 9d, veal 7jd to 8^(1, ana pigs from 8s to 9s 6d per score lb.
