' FOOTBALL,
(Continuation from 4th Page.) FOOTBALL, NOTES AND COMMENTS.—CARNARVON CHIPS. R. D. Roberts was not upheld by their play on Saturday. R. D., however, was fleet, and he put in pretty passes, while Moseley was responsible for two or three dangerous pots at goal, but he was too olosely watched to do anything serious. • • The left wing was not very strong. w Bob Ellis showed himself a man of power when presented with a chance, but he was not so favoured. Thompson and Bob Jones did not play up to the mark. Will Thomas and George Jones were at the start very strong, but by the end of the game they were made rings of. Thomas had the mis- fortune to head the ball into his own goal, and Jones handled inside the dreaded area. • • • • Sam Roberts, you were kept warm all through. You cannot be blamed for any of the goals that beat you, and the clearances you made showed you know how to play. The referee, Mr R. D. Richards, managed the game in his usual masterly fashion, and all his decisions were accepted without a demur.
LLANRWST CACKLE.
LLANRWST CACKLE. The horn-asters on Saturday through sheer luck won a couple of points off the quarrymen. The boeøIJ beam lost, however. • • • For the visitors Jack Jones and Kiranear play- ed a groat game, and were we backed by the other players- Still they experienced the worst of lhaxd luck, the ball continually skimming the upright or the crossbar. f Sowerby, the new Rooster centre ihalf, is a long limbed, rather heavy player. He made a good impireasiom, and will probably prove an acquisition when he gets into his stride. Ufae forwards did not combine well, 8lI was ex- pected, as the team had been so "juggled up" that it was hardly recognisable. o o The committee ought by now to have dis- covered the best players, and should stick to them, pathier tftan experiment to the exitemt they did on Saturday. o Trevor is looking forward to January, when lie will resume (his position in the team, and make u.p for lost time.
PWLLHELI PEBBLES.
PWLLHELI PEBBLES. It was a heart-broken crowd that returned home from Carnarvon on Saturday evening', and left the Canaries chirping merrily over a glor- ious victory, and with a repleamshed treasury. • « What in the wide world intfuoed Skipper Bob to forago the advantage of having won the toee and set his side to start against half a gale g'oodneas only knows. things turned out differently, wo might possibly 00 praising his wonderful f-oregighi); aa it is, we a/re bewailing his lack of judgment. w There is no disguising the fact that from stjart to finish the Penquina were a beaten sddo. They never shaped like winners, and the Canaries gaining' confidence as eadh goal was added, be- came irresistible and fairly made rings round the poor Penquins. » The first half was one continual bombardment by the homesters. Sammy saved nuanV a goal, and a bad shake up after the first goal didn't help him to stop the otihors, but he is in no way to be blamed for the soore- Without his yeoman services another half-dozen might have been put through. On an ordinaxy day I do not think there is a great deal between the teams even now, though on Saturday's play the Carnarvon team were superior at every point, but the Oelt is of a highly strung temperament, and the match had been so written, up and so much practically de- pended upon that I personally believe the teams had a bad attack of stage fright. • # • Tliis and the smart way in which the Canaries took advantage of the wind and piled up tihe goal3 was too maidh. it < The Penquins, many of them, are old birds, very knowing old birds at times, but youth will be served, and after the hard struggle of the first half Lack of condition told its tale, and the men could never g<et going. it • it Now Jones, centre-forward, whose inclusion in the toam we had counted much on, could do nothing, and our outside flier only made a few half-hoarted breaks away, and even the irrepres- sible Moseley appeared down-heartod. The left wing was palpably weak, and the halves showed none of their usual brilliancy. Ellis complains that a blow ea.r1' in tihe game made him dazed all through the first half; if so the six goals that were on the wrong side at half-time must have been a rude awakening. it • But cheer up, lads. Newcastle had 9 against them on Saturday, so even iiha best of teams have their day out. Pull yourselves together, and though you hafo a hard nut in Bale Press, don't funk tihem, but try and get through with the liope of meeting the Canaries again later on.

HUNTING.
HUNTING. (All Rights Reserved.) ANGLESEY HARRIERS. These Hounds met at Ty Croes Station on Wed- u-ewday week, and found plenty of hares at Fferam Fawr. Getting weil away with one on to Penlon, by TYWYH, and on to Rhosmor Hounds simply raced on to Trecastoll, and killed her on the road close to Bodelwa. This gallop was very fast as long as it lasted. Hounds were, brought back to Fferam Fawr, and found again, directly, and soon killed. Finding again in the bog the hare went away to Tycroes Station, where the school children enjoyed the fun to their hearts' content, and every hare they saw they fairly gave vent to-their enthusiasm. The next be as koon in a few years to come. The next draw was Bryn Cian, where a hare was found, and which went away to Liwyn Ysgaw, on by Bodgedwydd, over the road at the bottom of Cae Mawr. Turning left she came close to Rhytty, and back close to the Holyhead railway into the bog below Bryn Cian Farm, where she was killed. Another hare was found in the bog, but little could be done with her, so home was the order. Hounds met at Brynsiencynon Saturday. The first draw was Tre'rdryw, but did not find till hounds got to Bodlew rough. Running along by the river the hare turned right-handed up to the farm of Ysgubor Wen, on by Bodlew, and back into the far corner of the rough. She then turned up to Ty'nycoed, and was killed. Found again in .the rough, and the hare was raced to the road close to Pont Rick, where she was lost. Hounds were then brought to Myfyriant, and found again, but the hare was evidently suffer- ing from disease, as she could not get two fields before she was killed. Found again, and this one proved a proper old dodger, racing along one hedge row for about twenty yards then. through and back into the same field, then off for the next field. Continuing in this fashion, and the hounds sticking to her well, the hare was at last killed in a ditch. ATEREXES.
NORTH MONTGOMERYSHIRE FOOT…
NORTH MONTGOMERYSHIRE FOOT HARRIERS. On Wednesday week these hounds met on Dol- anog Ilill, an ideal place for foot hunting, but too far out of the beaten track for most of the followers of the hunt, being a good nine inileS from a station. There had been a hard frost in the night, and on the shawiy side of the hills it never thawed out all day. Hounds soon struck the line of a travelling hare, and ran three good rings round the hill, then just as they should have killed, after running for 50 minutes, three hares were in front of them. They settled on one, which went right away towards Llwydiarth, giv- ing them a very good hunt of over an hour, but again they were deprived of a kill by changing on to a fresh one, which took them away to Llwydiarth Ffrydd. In the afternoon they were taken back on to Dolanog hill, and putting up a hare they had hunted in the morning they had a fast run, ending with a kill. Immediately they were away with another. After one ring over the hill this one went straight away, pointing for Llwydiarth Wood, then turning left-handed, she skirted Pontllogell Wood, and came back down; the side of the river Vyrnwy, and back to 81 covert close to Dolanog. Once more she doubled back up the valley, and swam the river. Hounds ran through a covert on the opposite bank, and over the hill, but soon turned back, and they lost her on the river bank. No doubt she carried down the river and drowned. Hounds had been running fast for just an hour and a half, and had covered a lot of country. On Saturday the meet was at Gwernycilia. Only a small field turned up, consisting of Mr R. 0. Perrott, Mr E. S. Perrott, the Misses Perrott (3), Miss Verdon, Mr J. M. Dugdale, Mr Hamer, Major and Mrs Meredith, and Miss Hamer. The first hare, a victim of the prevalent disease, was soon killed. But the second was a real good one, and gave a good long straight run. Hounds nearly caught her as she went away in view, and this evidently so frightened her she went straight away like a fox, and hounds were never seen again till they got to Bwlchycibau. about three miles distant. As hounds ran they looked as if they had killed, but no remains could be found. It was a long time before another could be found, but Bean, the keeper, put one off a field on the Godor Farm below the Meifod-road, and a real good one it proved to be. For an hour and a quarter hounds ran her fast with a certain amount of help from the field. Twice they ran over the Godor Hill, coming round to the Bridge nd along the river bank. SoÆlt was not over orood, and on some fields which had been recent- ly manured hounds were constantly at fault. After a capital hunt hounds were called off at 4.15. as the life of this good hare deserved to be saved. On Monday, these hounds had a great run from Efel-y-Owm, lasting 21 hours, and ending with a bill in the open. Two hares took part in it. but hounds never stopped running*. Llawr- y-ewm Wood was blank, and it was not till tihe top of Coed Pontbren was reached that a hare could be found. Hounds ran up over the hill to Llanfihangci village, then turning left handed crossed Garth Uohaf and Lletty Siencyn, coming back to the lower end of the Dingle. They ran up tihis to the far end, and outJ by Tanyllan, and hore tdioy ran the road up to Pont Soadarn, then turning right handed they pointed for Braich-y- Waen, and making a wide ring* towards Cam- mon, they ran down towards Efel-y-Cwm. Again tlhcy ran up over the hill towards Adwy-wynt and Lletty. They checked in a large gorse where their humted hare was evidently down as they had run her fast for 1J hours. But a fresh hare got up in view, and with a steadily improv- ing scent they ram her in a series 06 wide rings over much of the same ground, running out to- wards Fronheulog and Bnitihdir Oooh Ö for one hour and 30 minutes before they killed her in the open. This was the 48th hare kill-ed. this season.
PLAS MACHYNLLETH HARRIERS.
PLAS MACHYNLLETH HARRIERS. On Thursday the meet took place at Aber- ffryddlan, where a hare was soon found. She headed straight up the hill to Hendregau, over to Hondreboeth, then from Glandulas Farm to Llwyngwem Quarry. She then turned back over the mountain to Cilgwyn Farm, then doubled bac kto Aberffrydlan, then on the Turn- pike road up the valley aa far as Machynlleth Waterworks, then back again to Cilgwyn, and after dodging about for some time the hounda killed her in Cwmrwdan, near Aberffrydlan, after three hours' good running. TALLY HO.
PLAS MACHYNLLETH FOXHOUNDS.
PLAS MACHYNLLETH FOXHOUNDS. On Friday a meet took place at Darowen vil- lage. The pack was out from 10.30 to 3 o'clock, but no sign of a fox was found. The pack ia running well, and in capital "go."
FLINT AND DENBIGH HOUNDS.
FLINT AND DENBIGH HOUNDS. These hounds kept their fixture yesterday week at Northop, going to the meet by train, but a move was not made until after twelve o'clock, as the fog was too thick. Hounds were taken a long trot to a cover belonging to Mr Lloyd, of Hafod. Honds spoke at once, and going away at the top end, they ran over an unusual line of country, marking their fox to ground close to Penbodw Warren, after an hour and a half's good hunt. The fog ooming on again thick, the hounds were ordered home. Hounds met on Saturday at Talacrep a good field being out, the covers down by the railroad were drawn blank. Hounds were then taken on to the warren near the house, also on to Brynglas, which also proved blank. Going on to Accra, they found a fox which ran back to Talacre, where hounds killed him. Hounds were then taken on tothe Gop and Pen. y Pare, also to LlynheligWood, which all proved blank. Finding in Llynhelig Gorse, hounds raced him to ground at Mostyn, after a sharp gallop of 35 minuteis. Among those out were :—Mr H. Bibby, Miss Bibby, Mrs Davies Cooke, Mrs Storey, Cap- tain Fosbury, Captain Cole, Mr Lane, Sir Pearoo Mcstyn, and several others. SPORTSMAN.
SIR W. W. WYNN'S HOUNDS.
SIR W. W. WYNN'S HOUNDS. These hounds met at Brogyntyn. Lord Har- lech's Shropshire seat, on Tuesday, but sport was somewhat disappointing, rain falling almost the whole time they were out. The Brogyntyn Woods were all drawn blank. Then a move was made to Llanforda, where they fcund a fox who gave them a slow run up the Welsh Hill and to- wards Llanarmon, the chase being eventually given up. Redwood was next drawn in 3. heavy downpour, compelling most of the field to retire home. A fox was, however, found, and after a short run darkness set in, and hounds were turned for home.

NORTH WALES WEDNESDAY FOOTBALL…
NORTH WALES WEDNESDAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE. A public meeting was held at the Junction Hotel on Thursday evening, in order to decide whether the Wednesday League should be con- tinued. Mr Richard Greenfield presided, there being also present: Messrs D. Clwyd Griffith, A. J. Davies, Liarbdud-ro; H. Hayden, Llandudno; J. Ellis Morgan, Uanfairfechan; J. H. Hughes. Deganwy; Mr Owen, Llemdadno; and the secre- tary of the League, Mr F. C. Jones, Llandudno. The Chairman, at the outset, remarked apon the sparse attendance, and said it was an indica- tion of the lack of interest in Wednesday foot- ball. He thOUgqlt there was plenty of scope for Wednesday football, and it ought to be better suppeftted. However, under the circumstances, lie thought it would be better to wind up the Wednesday League. Mr A. J- Davies suggested that it be con- tinued till next season. On the proposal of Mr A. J. Davies, seconded by Mr H. Hayden, it was decided that the se- cretary be instructed to write to the other clubs who had not joined, asking them to do so.

NEW SCHOOL AT NANT BWLCH YR…
NEW SCHOOL AT NANT BWLCH YR HEURN. THE OPENING CEREMONY. Efforts have boen made from time to time to establish a school at Nant Bwlch yr Heurn, but not until Thursday last did it become an accom- plished fact. At 2 p.m. most of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood had assembled near the new school building, and by 2.30 p.m. there was a full attendance. Some enthusiasm was aroused by the arrival of Mr E. R. Davies, secretary of the Education Cbmmitfeee; Mr L. J. Roberts, H.M. Inspector; Mr Roland Jones, architect to the County Council, and Mr D. 0. Jones, build-or, Pentrefoelas. In due course, Mr W. Plummer, manager of the Hafana. Mines, took the chair over the opening cere- mony, and after a short but suitable address, he called upon Mr L. J. Roberts, H.M.I., to ad- dress the meeting. Mr Roberts, after dealing briefly with educa- tion, referred to the heroes who had been brought up in that neighbourhood, from "Ben Beirdd" to the never-to-be-forgotten "Ieuan Glan Geir- ionydd." Mr Roberts went on to say that the neighbourhood had special attractions for him. He had, therefore, made up his mind to assist in that day's function, and it was with tha greatest pleasure that he now declared the school open (applause). Mr E. R. Davies, secretary to the Education Committee, impressed upon the parents present the importance of the regular attendance of their children at school and the value of elementary schools. On the motion of Mr W. Lloyd, Frith, se- conded by Mr Joseph Goddard, a vote of thanks waa accorded the chairman and the visitors. Subsequently the gathering were entertained to tea. EVENING MEETING.

LLANDUDNO CONCERT 1 SEASON.1
LLANDUDNO CONCERT 1 SEASON. 1 PIER COMPANY'S IMPORTANT DECISION. j At a public meeting recently held at LI an- 1 dudno to initiate a movement for the extension of the concert season Messrs W. Arnold, C. H. Bevan, and W. T. Brocklehurst were appointed a committee to approach the Pier Company with regard to the terms upon which the oonoelts, next year might be extended aa am experiment until the end of October. The directors of the Pier Company met on Monday, and their secretary, Mr Samuel Hughes, subs-equentiy informed the com- mittee that the Board had decided to continue the engagement of Mr W. Haigh, the deputy conductor, and 17 members of the orchestra to October 10th next year, and to announce That the Company's concerts would run from April 8th to October 10th. They also agreed to let the Extension Concert Committee have the use of the pavilion free, exc-spt the cost of the Light- ing and staff required for the ooneerta, on con- dition that the committee should arrange with. Mr Haigh and the small orcCestra to continue the concerts for any length of time up to Oc- tober 31st next year. The Company, therefore, take over the re- sponsibility of running the concerts for another fortnight after their usual date of closing—a step which the town will greatly appreciate,—and they generously offer the building rent free for another three weeks, subject to the committee obtaining a satisfactory guarantee fund. Many promises of support have already been received, and it is hoped that the committee will soon be able, wiiJh the assistance of a number of locai gentlemen who have 6ignifieo their willingness to co-operate, to secure tha amount of support required for the prolongation of the season of 1909 until the last day of October.

While examining the relief lists, Mr Evans Jones stated that he found it very difficult to persuade people to enter the Workhouse, al- though unfit to remain outside. The Rev. J. Ll. Richards, vicar of Dolwvdd- j elen, remarked that be was not surprised to bear the statement after what had transpired at the previous meeting of the Board. It was exceed- ingly regrettable that members of the Board should cast reflections upon the House, and sug- gest that it was a disgrace to enter it. Even the poorest gained access to the weekly local press, and read with avidity any paragraph or speech derogatory to the Workhouse. The effect of course was immediate, and the task of the offi- cials became a difficult one. No one knew bet- ter than the members of the Board the excellent, arrangements and comforts at. the LLanrwst Work- house, which was undoubtedly the best in the county. Members should well weigh their words ere uttered, as it was difficult to check the effects of a. foolish and unconsidered word (hear, hear). NO CHRISTMAS GIFTS. The Clerk read a letter from the Festiniog Board of Guardians enquiring whether the non- resident poor at Festiniog "belonging to the Llanrwst Union were to be granted extra relief on Christmas week? The Clerk explained that a Is each for the adults and 6d to the children would amount to JE:12 12s. It was decided not to grant an extra re- lief. TO BE REMOVED. The Master reported that a woman and her children recently resident at Trefriw had been admitted into the House. The Clerk explained that the woman was chargeable to the Woolwich Union, but that Board, in replying to his letter, bad stated it was against their rule to grant relief to non-resi- dent paupers. It was decided to remove the woman and her children to Woolwich. GRANTS. The Clerk reported that he had received a cheque from the County Council for C285 4s 7d in respect to officials' salaries, and JE15 7s 6d for stones used in repairing the Old Bridge. SUMMONED. The Clerk reported that the Clerk of t.he Carnarvonshire County Council had served the Board with a summons to appear at the next County Court in respect to the refusal of the Board to pay a claim for 15s for the removal of a tramp from Capel Curig to the Workhouse. Mr Gower: Are we all to go there? (laugh- ter). It was decided to defend the case, Mr A. Lloyd Griffith being appointed to represent the Board ANNUAL DINNER. At the conclusion of the Board meeting, the members assembled in the dining hall, where the Master and Matron had provided an enjoyable dinner. At its termination, the Chairman (Mr Roberts), in moving a vote of thanks to Mr and Mrs Hughes and Miss Davies. the assistant, matron, said that during the twelve months they had fulfilled their duties they had given the greatest satisfaction to both the inmates and the Guardians. He hoped they would remain for many years the esteemed officials of the Board. The Rev. J. Gower agreed that the Master and Matron had always given the greatest satisfac- tion in the discharge of their duties, and he felt sure they could rest implicit faith in them as officials (applause). Hearty cheers were accorded Mr and Mrs Hughes. The Master, in responding, said he always had two principles in view: the happiness of the poor and economical administration. He sin- cerely thanked them all on behalf of Mrs Hughes, Miss Davies, and himself (cheers). A POPULAR CHAIRMAN. The Rev. John Gower, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman, said he had proved himself an ideal chairman. If it were possible to add another six inches to his height he would be the greatest man in the county in every way (laughter and cheers). The Revs. J. Ll. Richards and Henry Jones also spoke in an appreciative strain of the chair- man's valuable services. The motion was carried with acclamation.
