FRIENDLY MATCHES. (By "Critio-") HOLYHEAD RESERVES v. MENAI BRIDGE. THE VISITORS WELL BEATEN. I Holyhead Reserve 8 Menai Bridge 2 The Swifts had an open date on Saturday, and advantage waa taken of it to give the juniors a run, preparatory to encountering Bangor Ik- serves to-morrow (Saturday) in the second round of the Coast Junior Cup. Menai Bridge were the visitors, and they brought a good beam down, which included the famous Morgan Jones (of Beaumaris fame)- Mr Shaw (Cheater) had dhargo of the teams, which lined out as under Menai Bridge: Wilden; R. K Pxitohard and W. Edwards; Tom Parry, Arthur Hughes, ami F. Williams; J. R. Owen. Sam. Parry, Morgan Jones, H. Roberts, and E. Hinson. Holyhead: T. Davier, Roland Williams and L. Morgtan; W. Taylor, Fando, and W. Brown; Broe^e, Enoch Williams, H. 0. JonN4 Swaine, and J. Jones. There were a fair number of spectators pre scait when tho game openod quietty, and in the first few minutes the locals were awarded a corner, from which '"H.O." headed over. Assis- ted by tJb, half-backs, the visitors advanced on the home goal, but Roland alianged the venue, putting J. Jones in possession, that player flash- ing across a beautiful oeintre whfldfi went a trifle wide. Returning to the attack, the homestc-ri showed nice combination, the movement termi- nating when Enooh shot over. This player again tried a shot, but Edwards kicked away, H. 0. a moment later skimming the crossbar with a gvxxl shot. The visitors, through Morgan Jonas, endeavoured to get away, but Fando gave thean no quarter, and gtvmg Louis the ball, that worthy player parted to J. Jones, whoso final effort wont wido. The homesters would not be denied, a further onslaught being made on Wilden's charge, J. Jones testing him .with a beauty, wihioh the oustodian safely dis posed of. The efforts of the Reserves were most praiseworthy, and it was not long ere they materialised, a nioe run on the left resulting1 in J. Jones putting in a good centre whicth was taken full advantage of by M.O., who beat Wil- den with a splendid shot, thus drawing first blood for the Junion. Straight from the re-start, the homs quintet again got going, and W. Brown parting' to J. Jones, he outwitted F. Williams and Edward3, finishing up with a perfect oross shot, enabling Swaine to score the second goal to the accom- paniment of loudoheeirs. It was a beautiful con- certed movement, which led up to the goal, and whioh was deservedly crowned with success. Upon resuming, the visitors livened up, Morgan Jones being at the last moment successfully tackled by Morgan, after which Swaine beadcxi over, Fando from near the half-way line trying his luck with a shot which Wilden did well to stop. Some give and take play followed, each side making valiant efforts to score, but it was left to the home lot to do the needful moo more, this being the outcome of a splendid bout of passing between H. O. and fus inside men, the ball eventually coming to the feet of the former J who sent in a rasping" shot, which Wilden was powerless to stop. This was good business, but more was to follow. The visitors tried tobroak through on the left, but Taylor was in the way, Fando effectively checking Morgan Joruea a mo- ment later. From an attack by the visitors, the home custodian kicked out, he throwing awab7 a good attempt by Morgan Jones ahortly after. Still keeping up their attack, the Reserves sub- jected the visiting defence to a heavy strain, Wilden having to exert himself in order toeleax. From a partial clearance by Pritohard, J. Jones secured the ball and sent across, Enoch receiv-

LLANDUDNO v. PENRHIWARDWR. A ONE SIDED GAME. Llandudno g Penrhiwardwr 1. On Saturday, Llandudno Amateurs rererves enter- tained Penrhiwardwr, a new team who were defeated by Oonway in the first round for the Junior Cup, in a friendly fixture on the Council field. fhe Llandudno team included many capable reserves wh3 will doubtless prove useful to the Amateurs in the Tunior Cup com- petition. There was a fairly good gate present when the game was commenced. Llandudno at once assumed the upper band, and went to work with a will. The home forwards did excellent work, and were always dangerous. But it was not until little Jimmy William* obtained possession and made for goal, that anything material accrued. Jimmy finished with a fine shot, which one of the full backs stopped with his hands. The ensuing penalty was entrusted to Johnnie Williams, and he made no mistake about banging the teacher into the net. After once tasting blood, there was no stopping the homesters. Johnnie Williams, who has long been absent from the ranks of the Amateurs, was in fine form, and could do nothing wrong. One improvement was noticeable in his play, he lias for- gotten his old habit of selfishness. The game proceeded merrily. Little Jimmy Williams and W. R. Jones on the left, made fine sport of the opposing defence. When the interval arrived, the homesters were leading by three clear goals;- Half-time Llandudno, 3; TenrhiwardwT, 0 Resuming play, it was early evident that the Amateurs were not yet content. Now and again, the visitors would have a spasmodic breakaway, but on the whole they were kept well in hand. Their only goal was scored in the second half, and was of a typical rushing style. A huge punt sent the ball down field, well into the home territory, and Wooton, the visiting centre-forward, rushing up, put Wie leather past Hob- son, who had no chance of saving. The Amateurs added another five goals, carrying the score up to eight, but a penalty, entrusted to Jimmy Williams was not converted. Out of eight goals, Johnnie Williams scored no less than four, whilst J. Morris Jones, Jack Brown, W. R. Jones, and Jimmy Williams contributed a goal each. Thus all the five forwards found the net, and a one-sd-ed game ended in a decisive victory for Llandudno. Final result: Llandudno, 8, Penrhiwardwr, 1. The game was not uninteresting in a way, notwith- standing the procession of goals. There were some clever players on the Llandudno side. A director of the Manchester City football club was present on the grand stand, and his fancy was greatly taken with the home left wing, little Jimmy Williams and his partner, W. R. Jones. But he said "There are plenty of little ones to be had all over the country. What we want are big ones."

HOLYHEAD UNITED v. SAVAGES. United 15 Savages 3 The above teams met on the Reach on Satur- day, Mr Morris Jone3 having charge of the fol- lowing players.— United D. Jones; B. Price and T. J. Jones; J. R. Hughes, Percy Jones (capt.), and H. Row- lands; Devonald, H. Williams, Collins, Woodall, and R. Jones. Savages: H. Jones; Bertie Owen and Evans; W. Jones, Tom Thomas, and R..J. Williams; J. Jones (capt.), R. Charles, J. Williams, Mackay, and J. Rowlands. The game proved to a most one-sided affair, the United piling on the agony to the extent of 15 goals, whilst the losers had to rest content with three only. Result: United 15 goals, Sav- ages 3 goals. Although the losers were a strong team, the United (who looked splendid in their new jer- stys) were "all over them." Dan Jones played well in goal for the winners, while the backs, were very safe, Jones in particular kicking well. He will develop into a good back. The halves were a hard working trio, Parry working like a Trojan. The forwards were a very busy set, in- deed, Devonald being the pick of a good line. For the losers the captain (of the town club); played well, though closely watched. Thomasi played a slow game. The United have made a good start, and it is hoped they will secure the "Wind Mill Cup" this season.

COLWYN AMATEURS v. EPWORTH COLLEGE. An exciting malch took pla.e between the above team, at Rhyl on Saturday last. From the kick-off at 3-30 till the end Colwyn kept the ball well over the half-way line and would have scored on numerous oc- casions had it not been for the splendid display of the Epworth backs and goalie. Evans was the first to score for the Amateurs, putting the ball in the net, just out of reach of the Epworth goalkeeper. Shortly after- wards S. Price scored (?,'ain for the Amateurs. Then Epworth, determined to get a goal, took the ball into the visitors' area and, giving the Colwyn custodian no chance to repel the attack, opened the College score. Half-time: Colwyn 2, Epworth 1. On the game being resumed the Amateurs soon be- gan pressing. Lewis added a third to their score and soon afterwards Pryce Jones headed the ball into the net. Epworth retrieved their position by adding two more goals to their score. Both teams played splendid- ly, the work of the Epworth forwards and the Colwyn backs being especially noticeable. Final: Colwyn 4, Epworth 3.

A deadlock has been reached between the Imperial Government and Australa on the question of the Com- monwealth Navigation Bill. The Australian Govern- ment absolutely refuses to warve certain clause ob- jected to by the Imperial Board of Trade.

RANCOR JOTTINGS. For pure, undiluted excitement and enthusiasm, com- mend me to an inter-collegiate footbal' match, such as the one fought at Ffriddoodd on Saturday. I always entertained the opinion that th" ""<1- iq students were second to none when it came to enthus- iasm, but after witnessing the tumultous scenes which f allowed the goals scared by the Normal team, I must confess that th-jy are second to the Normalites. Fancy running on the field and almost weeping over the scorer? The opening stages of the game formed a surprise packet to the 'Vai-sity spectators; in fact the Normal contingent were rather surprised at the show made by their pets, but" D. S." had the knack of being somewhere near the ball whenever it endangered the 'Varsity goal. Still the Normalites, following some pretty work on the right wing, scored per Palfreman. Playing down- hill-aiid by the way what a switchback sort of a field it is, one would have thought the 'Varsity could have swamped their opponents, but, it was not to bp, and indeed their defenders had their work cut out. Playing up the slope in the second half the 'Varsity showed infinitely better form, and there was more method in their play. W. J. Jones and Matthews both scored, and the game ended in a victory for the men of the pretty shirts. *• If the Normal forwards had made more of their op- portunities in the opening half, the score would have read differently. » if "D. S." wail the bright star of the 'Varsity team, playing a sterling game, when the fortunes of his side were very low indeed. Arnold, who is a "fresher," did not perform at all badly in goal, but he must not endanger his charge by rushing out too far to clear. » Brock, another new player, was opposed to a dashing wing, but he was in no way nonplussed, and he worked coolly. » w The 'Varcity half-back line I rather fancied, even if Don Rowlands was rather slow in getting into his stride. » » By Jove, Bannister, you fairly made things hum, but learn to shoot along the ground. Friars School appeared to be your objective on Saturday. F. Wright did exceedingly well, his placing being accurate. I did not ^see much of C. Thomas, but the extreme wing men were 'orl rite. W. J. Jones worked as if his life depended on the game, and he must have left a deep impression on several of those who came in contact wiih him. » » Ditto Matthews, who "bit. the dust" (or was it mud?) twice during the afternoon, put in some polished work. « The left wing was not often in the limelight, but they were a very useful couple. » # » It would be difficult to single out any individual member of the Normal team for praise. They were all tryers. Evan Davies kept out several teasers, and both full backs played a sturdy game, whilst the halves went at it hammer and tongs throughout the afternoon, the trio playing magnificently. Tom Evans, who has played for Llaudrindod, was active and seized every opportunity presented to him likewise Paifreman, who gave the 'Varsity defenders several anxious moments, and the three other forwards were quite up to concert pitch. ♦ • The Crewe cliib ought to pasa a vote of thanks to the Bangor Combination Team—6—0 at Bangor, 9-1 at Crewe. My word I « The excuse for Saturday's annihilation was that a poar team represented Bangor. Jack Jones was an absentee owing to doctor's orders, and Ireland sub- stituted him, and the forwards were not the usual lot. 1

COLWYN BAY CLIPPINGS. Colwyn Bay emerged from the first bout for the Amateur Oup in a most creditable manner. But for the re-arrangement effected by Skipper 1-Ic- Cann, however, L'anrwst would have proved much the superior eleven. « Up to the time when the change was carried out the visitors had scored two goals, and oertainly deserved both on their play. Rowlands was never cut for back work, but %s half he is of invaluable service. Moreover, while McCann is in the rear line Tonkin appears to be more self- pose3.,ed. » Stanley Hughes had a field day. All four goals were his, and, apart from that fact, he was one of the most skilful and industrious forwards on the ground. It is quite possible that Stanley will have left the town before another game is played. He contemplates removal to the Midlands for tho purpose of taking up engineering. Should he go Colwyn Bay will lose a player whom they can ill spare just now. Stanley has all the makings of a really great footballer, and it will be entirely his own fault if he does not score heavily in more than one sense in the Soccer world. E. Saunders helped to finish off the Colwyn Bay front line. Though he did not manage to score he made a vgst difference to the attacking power of the team, and that characteristic shot in the second half which went over the bar, while Jones was well beaten, at once stamped him as a centre of ability. J. 1.,1. Owen was the best wing man on the field. He played with more than usual courage, his speed was well utilised, and his centres were faultless. He had a very large share h three out of the four goals scored for his side. # Of the half-backs, Wellings was the best on the Bay side, and Gren Jones on that the visitors. The rear division were alright after the rearrangement. For Llanrwst W. A. Williams played an exceedingly good game on the right wing, while Richards it centre (notwithstanding a badly missed penalty) gave a Stir- ling display. The backs were weak, but Jones, in goal, was in excellent form, though four goals were scored against him. Next Saturday Colwyn Bay will be engaged on their own ground against Bagillt in the replay for the Junior Oup. It should be recollected that the kick off will be at 2.30, not 3 p.m., as last Saturday. With the advent of November the time sheet has been altered.

CARNARVON CHIRPS. Half a dozen goals to none! It is hardly credible, but it's the truth. » « It will help your goal average, Carnarvon. It is not quite an exact reflex of the game though, as Conway should have scored on two or three occa- sions. » » It was a good game, without any rough play. With such a team as that which operated last Satur- day performing through the season, Carnarvon need not be downcast as regards the championship. Tommy Atherton acted well as pivot, and if he had- a good front line with him he might prove very dan- gerous. Llew. Roberts and W. Evans were slightly off colour, as also were Sam Parry and Will Stone, all of whom appeared to have left their shooting boots at home, and there was a lack of combination too. The half-back line was very good, A. Owen being ex- ceptionally strong, despite the attentions of Hughie Roberts. » Bob Owen and A. Tarkes were very safe. Tom and Now Ellis, who came with a reputation, failed to sustain it, especially after the first portion of the game. Llew. Parry, the custodian, played well, his saves in the first portion of the match being "treats." No blame should be attached to him for one of the half dozen that beat him. They were all terrors I It Walter Jones, the Carnarvon pivot, was off c tour, and ho threw away very good opportunities. » The "star" performer of the front rank last Saturday was Evan Lloyd Hughes, who has won his place as the favourite of Carnarvon spectators. He set a good example in the matter of unselfishness; in fact it was a little overdone. Robert Hugh give same delightful centres, but I have seen him in better form. Httghie Roberts' leaps and headers were one of the features of the game, but Johnny Jones seemed to me to be a little out of form, but on the whole he did well. » » The hajf-back line was fine. A better one could not be desired. Mick's penalty was a crasher. Jack Williams a.nd Johnny Griffith fed well, and kicked with keen judgment. Of the backs, the first place should be given to Evan Hugh, or "Evan Bont," as he is better known. He worked like a Trojan, coming out of every tussle top man. Lovell, as a new comer, deserves the greatest praise for his headers and clearances. With such a formidable dcfence, George Henry's work was comparativeiy light. What he had to do he did well, but WhY don't you stick to goal. # The Carnarvon Executive would do well to keep the team they had on Saturday on through the season. Mr Richards' decisions were firm and just.

HOLYHEAD CHIPS. The Reserves ga.ve a mont creditable display against Menai Bridge on yaiurday, especially in the first half. Some of their combined work was really splendid, the halves feeding the forwards most assiduously and judiciously. » Wilden, for the visitors, played a fair game in goal, and though so many goals were recorded against him, he stopped not a few shots. The backs were not safe Edwards being slightly the better of a moderate pair of defenders. « • Tom Parry worked hard and did some good service, but the other halves were mediocre. Morgan Jones, of the forwa.rd line, was the most dangerous, though as a line they were far behind the locals. Hinson also played a good game on the whole, he and Roberts putting in some useful work occasionally. The team as a whole did not take my fancy still they are to be congratulated upon the sportsmanlike spirit in which they received their heavy defeat. 'I'Tis better to have played and. lost, than not to have played at all!" « • For the homesters, Davies, in goal, proved that he has the makings of a really capable "warden of the breach." I am told that he used to be a splendid custodian, and hope he will have more opportunities of showing his undoubted worth. « Roland and Morgan played a very safe game at back, the latter making a decidedly favourable impression. Roland, it was the best game I have ever seen you play Keep on, old chap » Of the halves, Fando was the pick. You must get rid of that habit of slipping so often, Fando, and then well, we shall see The forwards, as I have before indicated played a good game, with the exception of Breese. H.O. was in great shooting form, his play evidently delighting his two "senior brethren," W.T. and R.C. who watched him keenly. I fancy both of you were overjoyed, were you not? When shall we see the "fourth" sporting the club's colours? May it be soon, say 1. » J. Jones and Swain were splendid, the former's cen- tres being a feature of the game. Enoch also played a good game,- there is in you the makings of a good player, Enoch 1 W. Taylor and W. Brown also had a big share in the victory, the latter feeding his front rank well, whilst the former ran right through the opposition on one occasion, and thcn,after all his trouble,—he misspd 'Twa too bad, Billie, though I fancy you would have done the trick had you wished. What say you? Next Saturday the Reserves go to Bangor to meet the Reserves of that city in thp- second round of the Coast Junior Cup. What will be the outcome of their visit? I am not a good hind at prophrsying, but I shall be surprised and disappointed if, at least, the game has not to be replayed on that "classical en- closure"—the Oval I

AN OLD RHYL PLAYER. An interesting notice appears in the current issue of the "Southport Football Standard" concerning H. P. Roberts, an old Rhyl player. The writer says that his capture by the Central Committee was probably the best they have made this season. Roberts last year assisted St. Helens Recreation Club, and was con- sidered to be one of the beet right-outsiders they had had. As regards his play, our contemporary adds that: Roberts is blessed with a rare turn of speed, and it is almost impossible to catch him once he beats his man. In "Bobs" there is speed combined with tricky work, deadly shooting, plenty of spirit, and ideal football. I Roberts was born at Rhyl 25 years ago, and commenced his football career with the Rhyl reserves in the North I Wales Coast L-ague, playing in the team when they i topped the League, captured the North Wales Junior Cup, and the Easter Monday Medal Competition. He was then promoted to the combination team, and was selected to play for the East against the West of Wales. The following year he went to Birkenhead, and helped to top the Combination and win the Liverpool Shield. From BirTcenhead he went to Port Sunlight, and had the honour of registering the two goals which secured for his team the Wirrall Cup the opposing team be- ing his old club from Birkenhead. His next move was to St. Helens, and now he is found at home in South- port. In the Lancashire Cup tie between Southport and Manchester Oity, Roberts did good work, centreing to the player who scored the Central's only goal. There is no doubt that Roberts has a brilliant future in the football world. Nor is he the only member of the family who plays the game. Albert and "Nit-o" Roberts (his brothers), are coming on well in the Rhyl team.

HUNTING. (All Rights Reserved.) .t NORTH MONTGOMERYSHIRE HARRIERS. On Monday, the hounds met at the Kenncls. Drawing Llaoth'bwlch the first hare was soon killed but hounds immediately went away with another, and after 55 minutes ran into her. Another also found on Llaelh- bwlch gave a good run of Just an hour before she was killed, twice running down to the Rifle Butts Wood and back. The last hare found in Math own wood gave a goad fast run of 55 minutea before hounds were called off on Tynyeelin Bank. It was a hard day with a better scent than we have had on any other day this season. Wednesday's meet was at Cornorian. The hounds found on the top of the Hill, ran straight out towards the Moor and killed immediately. The next hare was found behind Mr Bowen's house on the top of the hill. They ran it slowly for more than an hour, eventually losing her on the hedge of the moor. Coming back through some roUgnfieldtl they found again. This hare II would have given a good run, when a sheep dog coursed her and she ran back into the pack and was killed. Again they found below the road, running slowly for nearly two hours during which time they I probably changed, then when they looked like killing, a fresh hare got up in view, and after a good hunt of half an hour they killed her. It was a very good day's sport considering scent was only moderate. Hounds kept on hunting slowly the whole day. DISMOUNTED."

FLINT AND DENBIGH HOUNDS. On Wednesday the hounds met at Cwm Gate, there being a good field. The hounds were put into Cwm Big Woock where they found an old fox and ran him round the wood several times. The scent being, how- ever, very bad in cover, they could do very little with reynard, who was left. The hounds were then taken on to Genny Morgan, where they found a g >od litter of cubs. Settling down to one of them they hunted it with a catchy scent for. an hour, and ran it to ground in a rabbit burrow, from which it was dug out and killed. The hounds then went on again and drew Church Wood, but it proved blank. The meet on Saturday was at Halkvn, where the hounds had been sent the previous day, being put up by one of the well-known followers of the hunt, Mr P. S. Davis-Cooke, of Gwysaney. The first draw was Hal- kyn Dingle, the hounds finding at once, one of the right 60rt, which was away as soon as the hounds II spoke. The fox set off towards Northop, leaving the Mill Cover on the left and going straight on to Gwysaney. Leaving the wood on the loft and passing the house the fox ran down to Rhydymwyn Station, crossed the line and made in a direct line for Moel Vamau, where he got to ground after giving a run of 14 or 15 miles. The pace up to Gwysaney was very fast. The hounds were taken back to Gwysaney New Larch Cover, and found 4 once, running the fox across the bogs to the Big Wo,)d, but he beat them by getting to ground in the main earth, the hounds being robbed of blood, which they well earned. After being fed at Gwysaney the hounds started on their journey home- wards after a hard day, being 17 miles from the Ken- aels. SPORTSMAN.

THE ANGLESEY HARRIE rtS. Owing to the death of Mr Christopher Fearne Priestley these hounds did not meet at Pentraeth on Tuesday. THE ANGLESEY HARRIERS will meet on Thursday, November 5th Fourcrosses Saturday, November 7th Penmynydd Wednesday, November 11th Llanerchymedd Saturday, November 14th Llangefni Each day at 11.45 a.m. L.

COLWYN BAY'S NEW CHURCH. FOUNDATION STONE LASD BY MRS D. GAMBLE. BUILDING DEBT NEARLY CLEARED. After many years of useful service the neat little iron structure in Coedpella-road, Colwyn Bay, will shortly give way to a substantial and well-built church of stone. The new building, which is now in course of construction, is situa- ted at the corner of Alexandra and King's-roads, so that the site has been removed nearly half a mile further west. In taking this step Canon Roberts and his co-adjutors have been obviously influenced by the fact that the town is extending its wings westwards, so that, in addition to meet- ing the wants of a large section of the com- munity at present, provision has been made for the future. The new church will eventually provide seating accommodation for about 550 people, and will form two naves with a tower. For the time be- ing. however, only one section is undertaken. This measures 72ft. in length by 22ft. in width. It will have a fine open-timber roof, while the floor will be made up of a patent composition. It will be electrically lighted; the heating will be by means of the most efficient of modern hot- water systems, whilst the ventilation will be on the latest principle. Seating accommodation will be provided for between 250 and 300. The site has cost JS750. whilst the contract for the present portion has been let to Mr J. O. Davies, of Mochdre, for 21065, "extras" being estimated at £ 150—a total qLj§IB65. A vigorous effort was made to meet this bill before the foun- dation stone-laying ceremony took place on Mon- day, and the collectors worked to such good pur- pose that, with the exception of the paltry sum of E140, the whole amount waa forthcoming either in payments or promises. Messrs J. M. Porter and Elcock, Colwyn Bay, are the architects. There was a very large and thoroughly repre- sentative gathering at the stone-laying ceremony on Monday afternoon, when the weather was sumr^er-like. Amongst the laity on the platform were:—The Countess of Dundonald, the Hon. L. A. Brodrick. the Hon. Mrs Brodrick, Mr and Mrs David Gamble, Mr and Mrs Brock, Mrs Charles Rey- nolds, Mrs Sharp, Mrs Roberts (The Vicarage), Mr J. A. Turner (Haddon Lodge), Miss Helen Barlow, Mrs Ed. Allen, Mr and Mrs Jones- Mortimer (Brvnsteddfod), Mrs Walton Evans (Llandudno). Mrs Prvce Jones (Old Colwyn), and Mrs Earp (Colwyn Bay). The clorgy present were: The Ven. Archdeacon Evans, Canon Hugh Roberts. B.A., Rev. Thomas Jones, M.A. (rural deant, Abergele; Rev. Rees Morris, M.A., Colwyn Bay; Rev. D. R.

Wade, Colwyn. The proceedings, which were carried out on a platform erected at the west end of the building, were opened in prayer offered by the senior curate. Rev. Rees Morris, and the Vicar. Canon Roberts then said that at that stage he would ask a neighbour, who was a prominent Churchman (Hon. Laurence Brodrick) to speak to them a few words of encouragement. A BESETTING SIN. Mr Brodrick remarked at the outset that he 'I felt privileged to say a few words upon an occa- sion which he felt sure was near and dear to the hearts of all present. They were there for a solemn function; it was nothing less than that, to lay the foundation stone of a new church- the building of which would he a centre of spiritual life in that part of their living, and growing and beautiful town of Colwyn Bay. The occasion testified to the growing need of spirit- ual nourishment in the place and to the ability, energy and earnestness cf those who had come forward to supply it. It further meant, he felt certain, the working together of all classes, rich and poor, to he!p. each in their station and ac- cording to their capacity, to consummate that groat work, and he was sure tho undertaking would be brought to a successful issue. The besetting sin of these days was to worship suc- cess irrespective of the means by which that success had been attained, but that sort of success they neither wished nor expected for in connec- tion with their new enterprise. They all knew from experience of the work done by the Vicar and his coadjutors, both lay and clerical, in Col- wyn Bay. and in that fresh effort he hoped that they would be blessed so that the outcome would: be to the advantage of the future fenerations of Colwyn Bay and the district. After Psalm 84 had been repeated by the4 congregation "A PLATN DUTY." Canon Roberts said he was very sorry to an- nounce that he had just heard from the Bishop that he would be unable to attend that after- noon. Continuing, the Vicar referred to the new church, and pointed out that in that district there was a large and a growing population. The building would be distant about a. mile from the nearest church, so that it would be realised that they had a plain duty and a privilege to try and extend Christ's Kingdom in the neighbourhood. When the new church would be completed seat- ing accommodation would be ensured for 550 people, while the new portion now on hand would acoommodate about half that number. The two walls to be seen partly up on one side of the structure were of course temporary, because they would be removed when the extension was made, and that aooounted for the comparative small-

NORTH CAMBRIAN NEEDLEWORK GUILD. ANNUAL MEETING AT ABERGELE. The annual meeting of the North Cambrian 1 Needlework Guild was held in the Ohuxoo House, Abargeie, on Tuesday afternoon, under the presidentship of the Hon. Mrs Brodrick, Oced Go ch. There were also present:- Miss I Iloratia Hug-lues of Kinmel; Mrs J. E. Mellor, j Tajiybryn; Mrs Hannah, Miss G. Hannah, Mrs lor ) Be van Davies, Mrs Mac. iNiooll, the Misses Wocd- hoiise, the Misses Phillips, Mrs Hearing, Mrs I Arrowsmath, Mjts E. A. Crabbe, Miss Taylor, Mrs T.

Tanrallt; Mm Piico, Taxiybryri Mrs Thomas, Mrs Wil- I liams,, Harp Hotel; Mrs Christy, Mrs and Miss Edward Mi 11 wand, Miss Faulkner, Mrs G. T. Evans, Mrs J. H. Davies, Miss Brittain, and 1 many othesns from tie various districts in wbach the. Lea.gr«e works. I The Rev. T. Jones said he had "'en asked by Mrs H- 0. Hughes, Uwcfhvdon (branch se- j cretaj-y), who takes an untiring interest in tihe Guild, if lie would take the chair. It was im- possible to appreciate too much the noble work ) that waa being done, by Uie Guild in providing I clothing for distribution among the poor. Ho thanked them raost cordial* for their efforts to I alleviate the sufferings of the poor by provid- j ing warm olcrthiug, and trusted the Guild would ) prosper. The Vioar then read letters of acknowledg- ment from the following parishes, for parcels j of clothes and money sent:—Old Colwyn, Col- wyn Bay, Queen's Lodgt, Colwyn Bay, Llys. fa en, Trofa.rth. Llanelian, Towyn (Abergele), Rhesyoae, Bronheulog Hall (Llanfairtalhiai- arn), Bettws-yn-Rbosi, Church of England Homes Degairwy, Hafodunos (Llangerniew), Bryny- roaen, Denbighshire Infirmary, Ab?rgele, Bryn Estyn (Wrexhwn), Tre^arth Home (Bangor), St. Mark's Home (Carnarvon), Colwyn Bay District Hospital, and Nurses' Home, Peny- gtroes. The Hon. Mrs Brodrick, in the course of a sympathetic address, said it was a great pleasure to hear the letters read, and to know that their efforts were appreciated. She cnuld not adequately express how much she appreciated the support given by this branch of the Guild. It was encouraging to find that the contributions in money and garments were increasing. This year they had 85 more garments than previously, and there was also an increase in subscriptions. The financial statement showed £ 26 8s 5d in hand. The committee made grants of £ 21 to various parishes, as compared with £ 19 last year. The remaining £ 5 8s 5d would be left in tho secretary's hands for expenses, etc. The number of garments for distribution were 1208. Gwytherin had promised to establish a branch, and she hoped Llanrwst would do the same. Penmaernmawr bad joined the Guild, and sent a very good collection of clothese and subscrip- tions. She expressed a hope that the applications be sent in earlier m future, so as to facilitate the work of distribution. Mrs Bevan Davies expressed pleasure in being present at the annual meetings of the Guild. It had a very small beginning, and had gone on in- creasing every year. They had never received such excellent, garmen.te as those sent this vear. Amongst the things received were a pair of stockings sent. in marked "knitted bv two women over 80 years of age." This showed that every- one could help the Guild. She had to thank the president and branch secretaries for the valuable work thev had done. Mrs Mac. Nicoll thanked Mrs Davies for her kind remarks, and said the vice-presidents had helpe.d them very much. She Dronosed a h""Pi.. vote of thanks to them. &I.. -VJ Miss Horatio, Ilurrhes suitably responded. The Rev. T. Joncc proposed a hearty of thanks to Mrs Brodrick, and said she was always doing something to assist others, not onlv in her own parish, but in other parts of the country as well. Mrs Brodrick, having ac knowledge J,' proposed a vote of thanks to the Vicar for taking the cha.ir, to which he made a suitable reply. ° a Tea was afterwards partaken of in the ante- room, for which Mr and Mrs C. P. Jones of the Metropole Cafe, were responsible. The Abergele branch secretary, Mrs Hughes, deserves the greatest praise for the manner in which she carried out the arrangements in con- nection with the meeting.—A.P.L.

COULD NOT WORK through stomach and kiilncy troubles. Now quite cured by DR. CASSELL'S TABLETS. Mrs A. Dry, of 15, Prospect-terrace. York. writes:—"For many years I was a martyr to in- digestion, flatulenoe, and kidney troubles. I could not eat or sleep, and on account of the great pain hardly knew what it was to have a night's rest. I lost my strength, and got £ thoroughly run down that I oould not do ir.7 work and had to have some one to help me. After taking Dr Cassell's Tablets I gradually gained in strength and health, until now I am a different woman. I can enjoy my food, it agrece with me, the paihs are all gone." Dr. Cassell's Tablets can be got at any chemist for 10jd, Is lid, and 2s 9d, and are a perfeot remedy for nerve, stomach, and kidney troubles. t

ing and easily notching the fourth goal for the 1 locals- Immediately on re-starting, H. O. got through, and sent in a really splendid shot, Wil- dem being heartily cheered for a good clearance. He was, however, not able to send far up, and J. Jonea securing, that, player put in one of his "special" centres, Enoch being thus enabled to head the ball past Wilden. HOLYHEAD FIVE UP. Though being five up, the locals did not seem content; and within the first minute of the re- start Louis shot over. The visitors now attack- ed, and were awarded a corner, which came to naught Some midfield play ensued, and W. Brown tried a long shot which went wide. From a bully close to tho visiting goal, Wilden bad to fist out from H. O. Enoch returned the ball, but he was given offside, after which Menai Bridge took up the attack on the right, but Fando rushed across and cleared with his char- acteristic impetuosity. H. 0. next had a solo run, finishing up with a shot from six yards' range, which almost brought the roof of one of the overlooking houses down. It would have beem a beautifully "placed" Rugby goal, Hum- phrey It was not long before the locals added to their total, H. O. converting another of J. Jones' irreproachable centres. Los" than three minutes had elapsed are number seven was re- corded, this being the outoome of a splendidly placed corner, Taylor heading a good goal. The visitors made brave attempts to reduce the lead, but half-time arrived with the score Holyhaad 7, Menai Bridge nil. TOO players having been regaled with a cup of wffee, the game was resumed before an im- proved attendance, the first item of interest be- ing a splendid shot from long rangle by Fando, which was ably deialt with by Wilden. The visi- tors play showed some improvement during this haM, albeit the locals seemed to have been quite content with their existing lead. Breese, on the outside right, for the home team, was a pas- senger throughout, and did nothing to merit his selection. Following two corners to the Re- serves, Morg'an Jones got away, and eluding Fando, gave to Hinson, the latter sending in a nice cross sihot, but owing to there being no one to meet it, the ball went outside, a good oppor- tunity being thus lost. A run down by H. O. resulted in that player giving to Swaine who just missed witn a good shot. The visitors now pressed, and following1 a clever clearance by Da- vies, the visitors returned on the right, and the ball coming to Hinson he sent in a swift, low shot which took effect, thus scoring the first goal for the visiting side. Encouraged by their &uc- cess, Menai Bridge redeublod their efforts, but the home halves were playing a good game. A run, by J. Jones looked promising, but his final sihot (a splendid one) struck the post and went bahind. Davies saved well from Morgan Jones, Sam. Parry also causing him to handle a few minutes later- Returning to their attack, the looaJs, by means of a neat bit of combination, swep-t the visiting defence off their feet, J. Jones finishing up with another "special," but it went a trifle wide. It was a movement wliioh deserved success, and was loudly cheered. A rum by the Menai forwards was stoppecf by Row- land^ Morgan doing1 his side similar seiyioe im- mediately after. Fando caused some amuse- ment by hris neat way otf dispossessing his op- ponents, and on one occasion, when tackled by Hugihes and Parry, he baok-hocled to II 0., the latter capping the tricky play by scoring a good goal with a shot which Wilden never saw. The p slackened down considerably after this, but before the end oame, Wilden and Davies had effected some good saves, whilst Roberta had t.he satisfaction of scoring the seoomd goal for the visitors and the last of the match, a pleasant game thus terminating with the Reserves win- ners by eight goals to two.

ness of the building cost. About B1200 would pay for that portion of the work, and in that) sum they had included extras. Towards that amount he was glad to say they had had either in payments or promise £1066 10s, plus 910 for the land, which left a deficit on the building fund account of only £14û. Was it too much to ask that afternoon's splendid gather- ing to contribute that balance? lie, could assure them that by so doing they would be greatly relieving the Building Committee, who would still have their hands quite full in pro- viding for the furnishing, etc. That was the fifth foundation stone ceremony he had had somethiing to do with in that parish, and he must say that the response to appeals for assistance had been better on that occasion than ever; in fact it had been so good that he was now serious- ly thinking they would be soon in a position to start building the tower for St. Paul's Church (laughter). Canon Roberts dwelt in grateful terms on the fact that in about a fortnight's time the committee had had "such excellent, support," and in conclusion referred to the death of the Rev. O. J. Davies, of Prestatyn, formerly curate at Colwyn Bay, and of Mrs Lloyd Roberts, both of whom he said had been so closely connected with the mission church, while Dr. Lloyd Ro- berta was the treasurer of the new church build- ing fund. A LAYMAN ON CHURCH INDEBTEDNESS. Mr John Brock, who spoke on behalf of the laity of the parish, said it was the greatest pleasure to him to witness the laying of the foundation stone of that church. He thought he expressed the feelings of all the laymen in the parish when he said there could be no doubt but that the new church was really wanted. The desire for it had been expressed for a long time past, a.nd now that, through God's providence, that desire had been satisfied he hoped they would all do what they could to ensure that the building would be opened free from debt. When taking part in ceremonics of that kind he had al- ways emphasised the importance of having God's House free from debt. He knew there was a feeling amongst some people that it was rather desirable to have a little debt, because it st.imu- latod people's exertions to pay it off, but there were many other objects in that parish which wanted attention, and it would be a mistake to allow that House of God to be opened with any debt upon it. They would need further money as time went on, because he hoped the church would need enlargement, but he urged them to make it a point of Christian honour that that church would not labour under the disadvantage of a debt. lie was very glad to see such a large company, and if, to use a common phrase, they put their shoulders to the wheel they should not only clear away the debt, but leave a surplus. THE ARCHDEACON'S ADDRESS. Archdeacon Evans, who addressed the gather- ing in the place of the Bishop, said that in In- verary there was a stone bearing the inscription "Rest and be thankful," but he was personally satisfied that while the waters of the sea ran from pole to pole there would be no rest from church j building (laughter). They must have churches, and they could not w>rk to better purpose. While speaking to a Churchman recently about that ceremony the latter remarked: "It is all very nice when you look at covers of parish magazines to see the plans of your churches, but I find you don't exactly finish your churches as you go." Asked what he meant by the statement his friend replied: "There are spires and towers to be found attached to the pictures on the magazine covers, but where are they in reality?" (laughter). He was reminded that at Ilawarden, Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, and Old Coiwyn there were churches unfinished in that direction. Efforts had, no doubt, either been made or contemplated to remedy the defect in each case. He was aware of what had been done at Old Colwyn. The Vicar there. remarked the Archdeacon, has been an inveterate beggar (laughter). He has been coming to eight or nine of our July meetings until Ye a's tred of seeing him (renewed lautrhter* —and he always pesters us for some granr other. lzst July twelve month' he cam *L're with a request for a grant of £ 300, I think, for St. John's Church, Old Colwyn, and when he vas told he could not have that amount he fi.iid: "I will never come here again" (laughter)—and went home where he called a meeting of parishioners with the result that by Easter he had more money in the bank than ha required for the towet. Now there is an example for Colwyn Bay (laughter). I hope the church at Old Colwyn wiil be soon finished, for at present it locki like a talcen slip" (more laughter). Concluding the Archdeacon said that in a fashionable place like Colwyn Bay there should be no difHcaltv in surmounting obstacles of that kind. He hoped the new church would he the means of doing a great deal of good in the parish to the glory of God. THE STONE IN ITS PLACE. The hymn "We love the place, 0 God," was sung, and Mr C. E Elcock, on behalf of the contractors, presented Mra D. Gamble, who had undertaken the stone-laying, with a solid silver trowel, which was soon brought to play on the mortar under- neath the stone. "111 the faith of Jesus Christ," said Mrs Gamble, "we place this foundation stone, in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Amen." The little ceremony was quickly over. The Rural Dean (Rev. Thomas Jonos. of Abergele) then read the leason, 1 Peter iio 2-6, and tho congregation repeated the Creed. Prayers were offered by the Vicar, and the very successful proceedings terminated with the .Benediction pronounced by the Archdeacon.
