HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRII>,«V THE DEBATE ON THE ZULU WAR. £ r- Hr.nbury resumed the debate on the Zxdn war, and contended tliat the present would be the wcrsfc pos- sible moment for recalling Sir B. Frere. We mkrht not yet be at the end of our troubles, and we needed a High Commissioner who was not afraid of responsibility. Mr. Lowe rose to support the motion of Sir C. Dilke, and had addressed the house for a few minutes, when, in proceeding to state what was the real question at issue, his memory and his power of utterance seemed at once to fail him so aftw, repeating three or four "imes the words, "The question before the House is in sub- stance —he abandoned the attempt, threw down his papers, and resumed his seat amid expressions of sym- pathy from all parts of the House. Sir R. Peel held that those representatives of England abroad who declared war at their own will ought not to be retained in the service of their country. He did not hesitate to say that the slaughter at Isandula was a result of the gross incompetency of Lord Cheimsiord, upon whose head the blood of the brave men rested until he had been tried by court-martial. Sir C. Russell defended Lord Chelmsford as an old comrade. Lord C. Campbell, in a maiden speech, argued that it was the Government who were responsible for the war, and that they could not escape that responsibility by shifting on to the shoulders of a subordinate the blame which rested on themselves, Colonel Stanley vindicated the policy of the Govern- ment, and denied the assertion that Sir Bartle Frere had found the Colony of Natal in peace and plunged it into war. Eventually the debate was adjourned to Monday;, when it was resumed by Mr. Courtney, who contended that it was due to the honour and the interest of this country that the High Commissioner should be recalled. Lord Sandon, who followed, defended Sir B. Frere in a spirited speech which was much applauded. It was admitted by the Government, he said, that in assuming the prerogative of declaring war Sir B. Frere had ex- ceeded his powers, and for that the Government had censured him but Ministers were alone responsible for maintaining him in office, and they confidently believed the House would support them in that determination. Several other hon. members having addressed the House, Lord Hartington expressed his regret that the military conduct of the campaign had been drawn into the debate by the Amendment of Colonel Mure, who, he hoped, would see that it was not the disposition of the House to mix up the military question with the question of policy, and would therefore withdraw his proposal. After Sir S. Northcote had replied the Amendment was withdrawn, and the House divided on Sir C. Diike's motion, which was rejected by 306 votes to 246-a majority of 60 for the Government.
! HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNESDAY.…
HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNESDAY. Mr. Mundella moved the second reading of a Bill to abolish the property qualification of members of local governing bodies, such as Town Councils, Select Vestries, and Boards of Guardians. Mr. Wheelhouse moved that the Bill should be read a second time that day six months. The subject occupied the whole after- noon. The Bill was opposed by Mr. Salt on behalf of the Government, and the second reading was negatived by 173 against 167.

($meral$nttlliig.cn ex. The Lord Mayor has opened a Mansion House Fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of those who fell at Isandula and Rorke's Drift. Sentence of death on Wednesday was passed at the Old Bailey upon a mason named Prettyman, who had strangled his mother in order to obtain possession of a small sum of money to enable him to gratify his craving for drink. ACCIDENTS IN MINES.—Meetings of the Royal Com- mission on Accidents in Mines were held on Monday and Tuesday, at No. 2, Victoria-street, Westminster, and were attended by Mr. Warin g ton W. Smyth (chair- man), Lord Lindsay, M.P., Sir G. Elliot, M.P., Pro- i fessor Abel, C.B., Mr. T. Burt, M.P., Professor Clifton, Mr.. W. Thomas Lewis, Professor Tyndall, Mr Lindsay Wood, and the secretary, Mr. Arthur Williams. THE SECOXD CALL ON THT: Crn: BANK SHAKE- HOLDERS.—The liquidators of the City of Glasgow- Bank have found it necessary to fix as the second call on the shareholders the enormous sum of £ 2,250 per share. The announcement has not been made officially, as the liquidators are awaiting the decision of the House of Lords in the trustees' appeal cases. Should that decision be unfavourable to the liquidators, the call will be considerably increased. THE COAL FIELDS IN THE BLACK COUNTRY.— Unfortunately the South Staffordshire Mines Drainage Commissioners have been unable to see their wav to continue the pumping operations in the Tipton district. This district is in financial difficulties, having a deficiency of £30,000, and they therefore resolved to stop all the pumping engines-under their control, a resolution which was confirmed by the commissioners subsequently. Accordingly next week will see the com- mencement of a diastrous state of things, for on the stoppage of pumping some of the most valuable coal seams in the Black Country will be flooded, rendering it impossible for the colliers to remain at work FooD ADULTERATION.—Dr Tripe, as public analyst of the Hackney District, reports that the samples of milk as usual, had furnished the .largest proportion of adulteration, as 3 out of 8 were adulterated, one to the extent of 18 per cent. All the samples of cocoa except one were sold as mixture of cocoa, arrowroot, and sugar, the exception being Cadbury's Cocoa Essence, which was genuine, ie., pure ,cocoa deprived of some of its fat. The quantity of starch in the other samples varied between 67 and 80 per cent., so that allowing for the sugar there was not in some of them more than 10 per cent. of cocoa. Whether or not it was legal to sell soluble cocoa," an article containing only from 10 to 15 per cent. of cocoa he was not prepared to say; but in his opinion it should be sold as arrowroot flavoured with sugar and cocoa." Of course an article like this was comparatively valueless as a food, as the quantity of arrowroot used for making a cup of cocoa would scarcely have greater intrinsic value than a mouthful of bread and butter, whilst that of the cocoa would be equally infinitesimal. THE MURDER AT RICHMOND.—Catherine Webster and Henry Church were brought before the Richmond magistrates on Monday, charged with having murdered Mrs. Thomas. Webster was apprehended in Ireland, and on her way to London she made a long circumstantial statement, which was reduced to writing. In it she says that Church proposed to poison Mrs. Thomas that on March 3rd that lady entertained him at tea and allowed Webster to go out to see her child, and that on Webster's return home she found her mistress groaning and struggling on the mats in the passage. From that point she passes on to the removal of the box, which had been "packed and corded by Church, and which she disposed of in the way the boy Porter has already described. This statement was read, and, when Porter had been examined, the prisoners were remanded till Wednes- day, when they were again brought before the magistrates, and formally remanded for a week. The police have not yet completed their case, and their inquiries continue to lead to the discovery of bits of evidence which, it is affirmed, strengthen the charge both against Webster and the beerhouse-keeper Church. It is now stated that the police have information of a man having been in company with Church at the house of Mrs. Thomas, but as yet they have not been able to find this individual, although his house has been closely watched for two days.

EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COMFORTING.—"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a care- ful application of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a, constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame."—Civil Service Gazette.—Sold only in Packets labelled-" JAIES Epps & CO., Homoeopa,thic Chemists, London.

AGRICULTURE. A LARGE FAMILY.—The extraordinary number sf 22 pigs at a single litter is repoi ted from' Tarporley. AMERICAN CATTLE.—The landing of cattle from Eng- land has been prohibited in ports of the United States. A PROLIFIC EWE.—Mr. Davies, of Penvbrvn, Guils- field, has a ewe which brought five lambs this year and four last year, and the year before. THE CORN TRADE.—'1 he UlarJc Lan" J^Tvirp-sf; says— "The inclement climatic change which attended'the passing of the vernal equinox has continued throughout the past week, and the spring quarter has commenced with weather characteristic of mid-winter. Wheat- growing has of late years become so* unremunerative that it is not surprising to hear that the acreage devoted to its culture will probably be considerably less than an average this season. We may, «n the other hand, ex- pect a corresponding increased breadth of barley, though it does not follow that the sowing will take place very early. Farmers' deliveries of wheat at the provincial markets have continued on a more liberal scale than might have been expected after the commencement of spring tillage. At Mark-lane English wheat has been sparingly offered, and all dry lots have commanded last week's prices, though the trade has been devoid of any- thÏ1 like healthy animation. Foreign wheat has arrived more freely, last Monday's list indicating an arrival of over 40,000 quarters into London, while Liverpool must alsa be credited with about 63,000 quarters. With the exception of oats, which have secured an advance cf 3d. to Gd. per quarter, no article has materially varied in value."

VALE OF CLWTD HARRIERs-An exceptionally large meet of these Harriers took place on Saturday in this district, sportsmen being all anxious to ensure a part in one of the last—if not the last—runs of the season. THE FLINT AND DENBIGH HOUNDS.—Sir.—We had the day of the season with this pack on Thursday, the 20th inst. The fixture was Glascoed, where a select field was in waiting. We drew several coverts blank, but at last found a right 'un in the Kinmel Woods, who gave us a veritable clinker to the'River Elwy- crossing in the locality of the landslip—up to and over the opposite hills, and, gradually working left-handed, through a heart-breaking country, rich in dingles, and so back to the Elw-, re-crossing by Dolben Hall, and bearing up to Glascoed Park, where he managed to beat us, having probably gone to ground. The distance could not be less than twelve Welsh miles time, about one hour and a half. The two masters (Mr. Hughes- i and Captain Conwy), determining to give the field a real "bumper," drew the Elwy banks, and were quickly rewarded by a find. The fox, being another straight- necked one, took us to Kinmel, and bearing to the left was finally run into in the open. thus giving a grand finish to a capital day's sport.—Yours, HOUNDS- MAN. in Sporting Gazette.

"NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND."—Procrastination with many is the besetting sin. Everything is put off till "to morrow. The torpid liver is unheeded until jaundice, consumption, or aoscess of the liver is esta- blished. These maladies are curable if arrested in time by that fine tonic and alterative medicine, Page Wood- cock's Wind Pills. Thousands are taking them for almost every complaint, and are being cured.

THROAT AFFECTIONS AND HOARSENESS.—All suf- fering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will be agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of Brown's Bronchial Troches," These famous lozenges are now sold by most respect- able chemists in this country at Is. ld. per box. People troubled with a hacking cough," a slight cold." or bronchial affections, cannot try them too soon, as similar troubles, if allowed to progress, result in serious Pulmonary and Asthmatic affections.

Depot, 493, Oxford-street London. 75 AN IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN WATCHES—Several remarkable improvements have lately been made in that class of watches known as "keyless," those, namely, that wind up from the pendant, dispensing altogether with the use of a key. Mr. Sewill, the eminent Watch manufacturer of Liverpool and London, exhibited a splendid collection of these instruments at the Phila- delphia exhibition, and was awarded the prize medal. It appears that he has been able to produce a watch of this sort that is not only almost everlasting in wear, but is as cheap as the old style. We may expect, there- fore, to see a much more general use of keyless watches than has hitherto been experienced. An iUustrzte4 catalogue is sent free on application. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-Female Com- plaints.—On the mothers of England devolve much and serious responsibility in securing for their daughters robust health frequently, alas! thoughtlessly, sacrificed by culpable bashfulness at a particular period of life when all important changes take place in the female constitution, upon the management -of which depends future happiness or misery. Hollowa.y's Pills, especially if aided with the Ointment, have the happiest effect in establishing those functions, upon, the due performance of which health and even life itself depend. Mother and daughter may safely use the se powerful deobstruent remedies without consulting anyone. Universally adopted as the one grand remf .jy for female complaints, these pills never fail, neve f weaken the system, anc always bring about the des: re(I result.

J'onign Intelligence. FRANCE. INFANTICIDE.—A horrible charge of infanticide has been tried before the Court of Assizes of Saone-et-Loire. The accused were a labouring man named Moncant and his wife. The man had been married three times he had six children by his first wife, three by the second, and six by the third, the present female accused. Of the whole 15 only four are living, and he is supposed to have poisoned or strangled all the others. He confessed that four of those by the last marriage had been murdered, but laid the blame on his wife. The woman, on the contrary, affirmed that her husband had poisoned I them with phosphorus. The man was condemned to death, and the woman to 20 years' hard labour. ITALY. The miscreant Passanante, who deliberately at- tempted to take the life of King Humbert of Italy, is not to be executed. AUSTRIA. THE FLOODED TOWN.—The work of repairing the damage done by the floods at Szegedin has already commenced, and it is hoped that by June the site will be dry enough to allow of the rebuilding of the houses. Some of the fugitives are returning. TURKEY. THE MIXED OCCUPATION SCHEME.—Since the scheme for a mixed occupation of Roumelia has found favour at Vienna with the European Powers, diplomatists have from the first convinced themselves that the task would practically be limited to three States only—Austria, England and Italy. It is calculated here that fifteen thousand troops will be required, so that the English contingent would be five thousand, with whom would be joined an equal number of Austrians and of Italians. The Agcnce Russe discusses the scheme for the mixed occupation of Eastern Roumelia, and states that in principle it has already been resolved upon. Each contingent will have its own cominander but no com- mander in chief will be appointed, and to each corps will be assigned a seperate district. The object of this occupation, it is added, is to prevent any hostile collision between the Turks and Bulgarians. It is re- ported from Vienna that the Porte has intimated to the Powers its acceptance of the proposed mixed occupa- tion of Roumelia, reserving some points as to the mode of carrying out that project. AF IUCA. MURDERS BY TIGERS."—The steamer Volta, which arrived in the Mersey from the West Coast of Africa on Wednesday, brings the news that much con- sternation has been caused in Gambia by the re-appear- ance of the men tigers." These men who are natives of Gambia, prowl about at night enveloped in tiger skins, and stab to death any persons they meet. During the three weeks before the arrival of the Volta at Gambia, six persons had been murdered by them, and none of the murderers had been discovered. The persons murdered were natives, but it was rumoured when the Volta left that the "men tigers" had selected white men for their next victims.. INDIA. THE KING OF BURMAH.—It is stated on the authority of the Chief Commissioner at Rangoon that the British authorities have neither sent nor contemplate sending an ultimatum to the King of Burmah. The British j Commissioner at Mandalay remonstrated with King Theebaw for the massacre of the members of the royal family, and in consequence the relations between the Residency and the Court have become strained, but an outward appearance of friendliness is maintained. The King is surrounded by bad advisers and is frequently intoxicated, and the position of the British repre- sentative at Mandalay being therefore just now not a very safe one, a strong force has been placed on the frontier, and awaits the course of events.
---....-.----------._.-THE…
THE ZULU WAR. We have further news from Natal by the arrival at Madeira of the mail steamer Taymouth Castle, which left Cape Town on the 11th inxt. The disaffection. shown by the Basutos had resulted in some of them making a raid, with the object of stealing horses, but they were driven back into the mountains after a sharp skirmish. Sickness is prevailing at most of the military stations, and excepting the attempt to relieve Ekowe, it is unlikely that general operations will begin before the end of April. It is stated that the men who were landed from the Shah w.ere en route for the Lower Tugela. River, in order to join the expedition which was forming for the relief of Ekowe. Oham had crossed into Swaziland to surrender to the King.
---------_---------THE AFGHAN…
THE AFGHAN WAR. Yakoob Khan is making no serious preparations for resistance to the advance of the English, and our correspondent at Lahore telegraphs that his conduct is incomprehensible. It is believed that he will not yield until the last moment, in order to be able to declare to the Afghans that he only submits to force. He knows that our troops cannot advance far until the Passes are opened, which will not be until the middle of April. Major Sandeman telegraphs to the Viceroy that he had been attacked by two thousand Malliks under Shah Jehan, but the forces under Major Keen routed the enemy, who suffered considerable loss. A telegram from Lahore, on Tuesday, says negotia- tions are not as yet nominally broken off, but Yakoob's letter is still unanswered. Major Cavagnari has left for Jellalabad. A force of four guns, four squadrons of cavalry, and one thousand infantry has left Jellalabad for Gundamuch, a place 20 miles in advance of Jellala- bad, at the mouth of the Jagdalak Pass. A force of twelve hundred infantry, with two squadrons of cavalry and some mountain guns, have started for Charbagh, in the Lughman Valley. The reason publicly assigned for these movements is that the tribes in those neighbour- hoods threaten to attack and harass the inhabitants of the valley, who are friendly with us, but the opinion in the best informed circles is that the advance is meant as a demonstration to show Yakoob that we shall certainly march upon Cabul when the Passes are open This he appears to disbelieve, and hopes by delay to get better terms. The advance is, in fact, a reply to Yakoob's evasive letter. Yakoob's position appears to be strengthened among his people, since, as the head of the State, he entered into negotiaiions with us. SQUADRON OF THE 10TH HUSSARS DROWNED. The following telegram was received at the India Office on Wednesday night from the Viceroy :— < General Browne reports from Jellalabad on April the 1st that one squadron of the 10th Hussars, whilst following a squadron of the 11th Bengal Lancers across the river at ten o'clock on Wednesday night, missed the ford and were carried off by' the current. Lieut. Harford and fifty men are missing. Sixteen bodies have been recovered. The Bengal Lancers, who were lead- ing crossed all right." A Reuter's telegram, dated Lahore, on Wednesday, says :— "A squadron of the 10th Hussars was swept away by the current while crossing the Cabul river, near Jella- labad, at ten o'clock on the evening of the 31st March. Sub-Lieutenant Harford and forty men are missing, 1 Sixteen bodies have been recovered up to the present."
HOUSE OF LOEDS—TUESDAY.
HOUSE OF LOEDS—TUESDAY. The Lord Chancellor introduced a Bill for the Estab- lishment of Local Bankruptcy Courts in Ireland. Lord Cottesloe moved for a return of the trade of the United Kingdom with the United States of America, and called attention to the great excess of our imports from that country over our exports thither. The returns were ordered.
————t HOUSE OF COMMONS—-TUESDAY.t
———— t HOUSE OF COMMONS—-TUESDAY. Mr. R. Yorke moved for a Royal Commission to inquire into the administration of Wellington College, which, he contendtd, was being diverted from its original purpose, namely, of providing an education for the orphan sons of military officers. Mr. R. Piunkett seconded the motion. Mr. Gladstone objected that such a Commission would be a rebuke to the Governing Body the Govern- ment could, however, if so minded institute an inquiry conformably with the rules of the College. Lord G. Hamilton said the Government were willing to facilitate an enquiry by a joint committee represent- ing the Governors and the officers complaining. The motion was negatived by 67 against lro. Mr. Rodwell moved the second reading of his Bill for amending the Licensing Act of 1872, which provides that where an application is made for a new license, the Licensing Justices should* find as a fact upon evidence to be given on oath, that such license was necessary to supply a public want. Air. Cross expressed a, hope that the House would consent to read the Bill a second time. as in his opinion it proceeded on the right lines, in directing that the Licensing Justices should act in a judicial capacity, and should not grant a new license unless they were satisfied that it was desired by a considerable portion of the inhabitants. Mr. Wheelhouse having intimated that he did not object to that stage of the measure, and Mr. M. Stewart that he should propose to extend it to Scotland, the Bill was read a second time.
! IH@N' AND, COAL.
IH@N' AND, COAL. Monday-—The rumom which haw hen so freely circular.eel as to the succc. of the Ckvc-hwid steel problem have not in any way r-cted as a tii.s&irojijg or disquieting influence on the wot coast, because it is felt that to make afceel from Cleveland iron must necessarily entail such an intricate and expensive prceess as will prevent it from being a commerjial suc- cess, The demand for iron and steel is very quiet, and sales have not lately increased in bulk. Stcjks are larg?. but spring orciers are expected to bring about a reduction. At some of the works a few continental orders have been placed. Prices are steady, but At the low rices previously quoted, 52s. for No. 1 Beäemer, and 50s. for No. 3 forge. Iron ere and coal in quiet demand at late prices- Mr DOLES BOROU G H Tuesday.—The market was onlv poorly attended, and sales were comparatively few, while the realised priaes were from 3d. to 6d. per ton below those of last w-sek. Makers* generally adhered to last week's rates, and quoted No; 3 iron from 35s. 6d. 0 to 36s. free on board. Better weather is allowing of larger shipments, and makers anticipate an increased trade this month they look upon the present lull in the demand as natural after the heavy buying of last month. Iron ^in second hands is said to have been bought at 34s. 3d. for No. 3, and merchants affirm that ther can do business at 35s. Tl finished iron there is little change, except that there are more inquiries for plates. The pipe founders are doing a tolerably ood business but chair founders receive only very small orders.
; THE WELSH CHALLENGE GUP.…
THE WELSH CHALLENGE GUP. THE 1-T.KAL TIE Tlas match wiich has bean looked forward to by .■«» saany with so m-ch. specubAion and ints^est as to who l';ou1d win, came off on Saturday last at Oswestry, between the two remaining clubs, the Newtown Stars nd Wrexham, and resulted in a victory for the Stars by one goal to none. Play -x:4s to have commenced at 3 39. but the Wrexham failed to put in an appearance urtil just four when play began. Muriess won the toss and tsok the goal urthest from, the road, with a brak. wind in his favour, and at four o'clock T. Pryce set the ball in motion, and it was taken towards the Wrexham goal, where two throws in were obtained, but ths ball was sent back pad a run mac* by J. Pric^. T. Pryce got it from him, but c.he same player again got possession, and landed the ball behind just outside the püsts. Play remrJ.11.ed near the Star'? goal for some little time, and the L-11 was sent behind by Boden and Evans respect- ively. J. Davies get it away from a tuird attack, and a run was made by the Stars' forwards, who got a throw in from Murless, T. W. Davies kicked the ball away from the WrexharcLgoah and the play returned to the Stars' territory. T. Pryce returned the ball to the Stars' forwards, but it back by J. Price. A throw in again aided the Stars to get the ball near the A\ rexl.am goal, whence Davies kicked it, and a run was made by Wrexham, Evans sending the ban behind goal very v/ide. It was hesuded behind by Price, and then Woo.sr.am got hold of the leather, and, defving the efforts of Edwards and Cross, either to take it from him or knnzk him over, got it right up to gopj, where the defenders played in touch. T. Davies kicked the ball < from his goal; it was returned and kicked away bv Murless, Gittms brought it back again, and got away, and, Davies putting the ball well up for the forwards] J an attack was made on the Stars' "Coal, resulting in a i corner kick,- which Cross put harmlessly behind. Edwards next sent the ball behind the Stars' goal, S. Davies got the ball from a throw in, and made a fine run, and obtained a throw from npar the corner flag, and an. attack was made on the Wrexhara goal. The ball was got away, but returned by Pryce and Morgan. Wrexham got a throw in. and Thomas getting at"the ball put it well up. Cross, kicked it back, and Evans put it behind the Star. lines. Lloyd did the like shortly after, but the ball was wide of che goal each time. Gittins put the ball well up from the kick out, i and, getting a throw ir.it was soon in front of goal, -1 where hands were claimed andallowed for the assailants. J A sharp struggle took place, and the bail nearly put through, the goalkeeper, however, managed to use his hands over the heads of the others, and the ball was got away. J. Danes returned it and the goalkeeper again stopped the shot. The Wrexham men retaliated with 1 an att-ick on the Sta-s' goal, but without effect, the ball f going behind, the goalkeeper stopping the first shot. After some sharp play Woosnam played the ball over the boundary, about the middle of the ground, and < Cross sent it up. T. Pryce, however, made a good í return, and Andrew took it behind the Wrexham lines. S. Davies next got a run, and Edwards played the bali awav from goal, and it was again passed into the Stars' < territory, and behind their goal by Evans. Pees got the ball out of a scrimmage in front of hisgoai. but J played it in touch. A free kick was given to the Stars, for a foul by Cross, and another for hands shortly after, 1 the ball being got away from the Wrexham goal, after the latter, and returned to the centre. Woosnam soon- ] got hold of it on the ricrht and made a run, and had J obtained a throw in when half time was called. < The Stars now got the wind in their favour, but it ] had lulled a little. The struggle was commenced in 1 Wrexham territory, Bees sending the ball behind. Wrexham got a free kick for hands, and Owen sent the 1 ball well up to, and it was afterwards sent behind the Stars' goal. Another free kick had been given to the same side when Gittins made a smart run, and Thomas took a shot at goal. The goalkeeper stopped the latter and threw the ball out, and Rtrf; kicked it behind, The ball was kicked away from and twice returned to the Wrexham goal by James Davies. and a free kick given to the Stars in the middle of the ground, and an attack made on the Wrexham geaJ. Murless kicked the ball away, but not far enough, as Rees sent ths- ball into the goalkeeper's hands, and the latter threw it be- hind and gave the Stars a "corner." S. Davies made a well-directed kick, and a struggle in front of goal re- suited in anothei-corner kick from the goalkeeper. This j l was put behind the lines, and the Wrexham forwards, by some clever passing, took the ball into the Stars' quarters. T. Pryce got the ball back, and Thomas sent it behind the lines. S. Davies made a good shot at the Wrexham goal, and the goalkeeper stopped it. Rees, however, not zo be denied, made a smart kick with his left foot, sent the ball between the posts, and secured a goal just at five o'clock. This was received by an out- burst of enthusiasm. Some good play followed, eventually becoming slow for a few minutes, it then quickened, and the ball was taken towards the Wrexham goal, and back towards that of the Stars. The latter got a free kick in the middle, and S. Davies took a shot at goal, the goalkeeper stopped it, and J. Price took it up near the Stars' goal. S. Davies next. got the ball near the Wrexham goal, and headed it to the goalkeeper, who put it away, and after Gittins had played in touch Lloyd made a good run, and landed the ball behind the line, but rather wide. The same player again got the ball near the Stars' goal, and Price headed it towards it. The goalkeeper was, however, equal to the occasion, and the ball was returned to the centre of the ground, and kicked in touch by .Tas. Davies (who had relieved Andrew as forward). Hands gave Wrex- ham a free kick near the Stars' goal, which Cross nicely placed. Rees got the ball away, but it was returned, and another scrimmage took place in front of the goal. Again the defenders prevailed, and took the offensive, Geo. Thomas putting the ball over the Wrexham goal. The Wrexham forwards again took the initiative, and got the ball in their opponents' quarters, but it was returned thence, and sent behind their own linr". Gittins took a long shot, which the goalkeeper stopped, and the backs got away. Morgan returned the ball, and S. Davies played in touch, and Wrexham got a free kick for hands, but it was of little avail, as the Stars again renewed the attack. Evans made a long run. but could not pass the Stars' backs, who played in touch. Gittins sent the ball up, and Thomas made a splendid side shot, which struck the bar. Soon after time was called. The Wrexham team appeared to be demoralized by the fast play of their opponents, and PricD, Cross, Edwards, Lloyd, and T. W. Davies were the only ones who exhibited any form. The credit of mitigating the defeat is, however, entirely due to the goalkeeper. "■ Of the victors all worked hard t attain the result, and their captain (Gittins) deserves every credit for the manner in which he worked up and handled his team on the ground.
