CRICKET NOTES. As per usual Welshpool polished off the soldiers. There was no mis rake nhout it tin's rime, and the good a.1 r< iiml play of the Town men deserved victory. For eight wickets Welshpool scored 140. The b'j.s-c ianit:g3 was that of D. R. Jones, who scored .34 in good form. Very little inferior was was the 26 noc out from C. T. Cronk, who made some capital- strokes on the off. Hiles played steadily for 11 not out, and G. Owen with 10 was tli., next- highest scorer. The bowling of W nrth was good, and puzzled the batsmen considerably. It does not say nnn-h for the good fielding of the losers when extras stand at 33 With the exception of Lieut. Worth 21. and Lient. Knowles 19, no stand was made agaioM rhü Welshpool bowling. and all men out for 63. 11 extras were given—too man)" in this score. Xew;.invtt rather easily defeated Chirburv. The bcnvlirjfr on both sides was good that of H. Hibbott being quire up t,o his best form. Chirburv were all out for 41. C. B a tier with 10 alone getting into double For Newtown only one man E. C. Morgan 15, succeeded in doing so. The scoring- of the Newtown men was very consistent ail through, and the coca! of 73 was not a bad one on the wicket. Chirbnry did worse in the second innings. Hiboott aud 1 atry got 5 wickets down for 15 when time arrived The Montgomery men received their first defeat on Monoay, when they met Meole Brace. Both teams were strong ones. Montgomery opened the ball with 78. Tomlev batted very well for 23, and in his useful innings made some fine hits. p. It Eaton 11, and C. B. Williams 9, were the other chief scores. The Mont- gomery innings was finished off in a rather a sensational manner. The captain of the Meole team, J. j. Davies, is an old Montgomery player, and wheti Tomley and P. Eaton appeared set he went on to bowl. So well did he send them down that the batsinen could do nothing with him. In 8 overs he took 6 wickets for 8 runs. It was rather too bad of him to give his old friends such a taste of his quality. When Meole went in the Mont- gomery bowlers soon got to work, and three good wickets fell for 14 runs. Hyslop and Evton, how- ever, by some really fine batting, gradually wore down tue bowling and took the score up. The score was 58 ere Hyslop was out for a very useful and admirable 23. Eyton, also 28, sta.ved on till the Montgomery score was beaten. After he left the end soon came, and all were out for 92, Meole thus winning a capitally contested, keen, but exceed- ingly pleasano game by 14 runs. When Oswestry Town and Ellesmere College meet it is Greek meeting Greek, and both teams prepare for a stiff fight. Last Thursday their first meeting took place on the Oswestry ground. Both teams were strong, Clapp being included in the home X I, and he did good work, scoring 10 and taking 6 wickets. The College innings reached 83. R. li. PhiIIips 27, Boot 19, and C. D. Penn 17, played the good bowling well, but the others failed before riie Oswestry bowling. With such good bats in the <Jswestry team it was expected that they wofdd make the runs, but so well did Boot and Lea bowl that they failed by 27 runs to do so. The College were 'lucky in getting rid of Clapp so cheaply. J. Y. Jones of the others, alone played up to form. He batted capitally and with confidence. His score of 31 was tho best on either side. In the 2nd innings of the College the Owsestry bowling met with great success. When time was called 8 wickets fell for 43. The College followed up this good work by defeating Wem on Saturday, though some of the best men were assisting Ellesmere Town against Oswestry. The latter team had much the best of the draw, as when time was up 8 wickets had fallen for 53 to the 129 for 8 wickets of Oswestry. The Oswestry batting in this match was very regular all through. Fred Gough heading the list with a well played 31. H. T. Gongh and F. A. W. How bowled very efficiently for Oswestry, and Ellesmere have to thank C. labor 24 not out, Rev L. M. Owen 11, for saving the match by their grand defence. Oswestry A team won handsomely against Gobowen, thanks to the fine bowling of H. Aston, who took 6 wickets for 13 runs. The opening of Gobowen's innings can well be described as a sensational one four wickets, no runs. Extras 11 headed the list in a score of 32. Oswestry replied with 62. X. E. Tidy (15) and W. E. England (19) batted well for their runs, and got them too when ladly wanted. A pleasant match took place on the Oswestry Grammar School ground, viz., the Oswestry Schools v. Masters. The innings of the Boys reached 117, but of this number M. T. Mason scoied 40 in good form. He received great assistance from G. H. Owen 19, T. Ll. Harry 12, and extras 12! When time arrived the Masters had scored 77 for 7 wickets—a very even draw. Rev. W. D. Williams (19) and Mr S. E. Robinson (35) played well for their rnns. Machynlleth went to Dolg-elley on Saturday, and a rather one-sided game ended in a victory for the home team. In the first innings of Machynlleth the batting was feeble. Bull and Clarke bowled well, and the fielding of Dolgelley was all there, no less than 7 batsmen being caught. The total was only 39. The first three on the Dolgelley hst soon settled the game. Howell Jones was top scorer with 32, in compiling which he had a fair share of luck. J. Humphreys (22), R. S. Finlay (19), and D. T. Williams (11) batted well, and the total of 106 was a good one for the ground. The second innings of Machvnlleth would have been wcrse than the first but for a grand display by Vaughan, who carried his bat for 27, out of a total of 37 for six wickets. The supporters of the Machynlleth Club must naturally feel pleased at the good work Mr H. loyd-Jones, one of their members, has been doing at fehrewabury School. In the House challenge matches he compiled 103 (not out) out of a total ° or wickets for his House. Amongst his two s^xes and six fives.

Surrey seem to be in for the Championship again -nob that they are showing better form than Yorkshire, but are having more luck. Yorkshire have drawn three matches -all in their favour- while Surrey have only drawn one. Lancashire is creeping up, and may yet have to be reckoned with. The averages are all dropping; Gunn and Ranjit- sinhji have done so well this week that they are now close to the top. PRESENT POSITIONS.

Rain on Wednesday prevented any further pro- gress in the Australians and Yorkshire, and the Somersetshire and Hants matches (which are there- fore abandoned). Play was greatly curtailed in other matches, and only one—that between Surrey aud Leicestershire—was brought to a conclusion. Surrey just managed to win. Play did not start until after half-past three, and the champions, with two wickets down, wanted 95 for a victory. Rain stopped for a time, and when 41 runs were still ungot there were only forty-oue minutes left. The number, however, was hit off with seven minutes to spare, Surrey winning by four wickets. At Derby, play began at four o'clock upon a very treacherous wicket. Derbyshire's first innings only lasted a couple of hours, and realized 93, as against 466 mnde by Notts. At the end of the home team's innings play ceased and the game was drawn. There wa only a quarter of an hour's play in the Kent and Middlesex match. The rain stood be- tween Kent and a very probable victory, for when stumps wore drawn Middlesex were 316 behind with seven wickets to fall. The Cambridge and M.C.C. match was drawn in favour of the University. The Cantabs began their second innings 58 to the good, and when they had scored 213 for five the innings was declared. The Club had put together 163 for seven when the time for play expired. Lancashire met Surrey at Old Trafford on Thurs- day. The scoring on both sides was poor, but the Surrey men were, conspicuously weak in batting, and they failed to such an extent before the splen- did bowling of Mold that their first innings only realised 78 runs. Lancashire had made 149 for eight wickets when, soon after five o'clock, rain stopped play. Yorkshire gave a fine exhibition at the wickets at Leicester against Leicestershire. They were batting all day, and when stumps were drawn had scored 397 for five wickets. Brown made 131. The biggest total of the day was made at Lord's, where Middlesex, playing against Gloucestershire, put together 420 for 8 wickets. Dr i'liornton made the rtmarkabie score of 161 and had a uo less extraordinary r in of luck, being let off" 110 fewer than seven times. At Tonbridge, on the ither hand, the bowiers bad matters mostly their own way, and 23 wickets ieil for 310 runs. Kent, playing dlt-ro against Sussex, scoied a first innings of 122, and Sussex made 144. Kent began a second innings, aud lost three wickets fur 44. The Australians gave a poor- batting display at Bir- mingham against a Midland Counties eleven. In the first hour the Colonials lost sevtn batsmen for 53, II ultne taking six wickets for 24 runs. After I.b"t matters irtproved, and the total was taken up to 138 beforo tue last wicket fell. The Midland eleven bad made 68 for the L.ss of three wickets when I stumps were drawn. A second eleven match bt-tueen Lati ashirc and Surrey opened at the Oval. The visitors did badly, and being dismissed for 127 whilst S'ir;ey scored 367 for six wickets.

THE INTEttN ATluNAL FOOTBALL BOARD. The International Football Board met at the White Horse Hotel, Aberystwyth,on Monday, when there were present Mr. Patterson (Wales) in the chair, Messrs. Ciicton and McKenzie (Scotland), J. Reid (Ireland), Crump and Gregson (England), and Taylor (Wales), secretary. Mr. T. H. Edwards, secretary of the town club, was present during the discussions. l he Scottish Football Association proposed in Law 13: Alter the words award the opposing side a penaitv kick, to be taken trom" substitute-" a point on twelve yards line opposite where infringe- men.. took place," for present wording, and after the words behind the ball," add—" the ball mast be kicked forward from the twelve yards line."— The fir.-<t part was lost, but the second part was carried. The Football Association suggested the following, marked by inverted comma i ;-Law 1 The limits of the grounds shall be-—maximum length, 200 yards; minimum length, 100 yards; maximum bread, h, 100 yards minimum breadth, 50 yards. The length and breadth shall be marked off with "four" flags, with staffs not less than five feet high, and 1.((Ja.! and touch lines." Lines defining six yards from each goal post and twelve yards from the goal liues shall also be marked out. The centre of the ground shall be indicated by a suitable mark, and a circle with a ten yarns radius shall be made round it. The goals shall be upright posts, eight yards apart, with a bar across them eight feet from the ground. The maximum width of the goal post and the maximum depth of the crossbar shall be tive inches. The circumference of the Association ball shall be not less than 27 inches, nor more than 28 inches; and in International matches, at the commencement of the game, the weight of the ball shall be from 13 to 15 ounces.— Agieed to.—That the position of the goals be de- fined The goals to be fixed on the goal line at equai distance froIn the corner flags.—La w 4: A goal shall b, won w Leu, the ball has passed between the goal posts under the bar, not being thrown, knocked on, or carried by anyone of the attacking side. The ball in play if it rebounds from a goal post, cross bar, or a corner flag staff, into the field of [day. Theballis in play if it touchesthe referee or a Lnes- man when in the field of play." The ball crossing the goal or touch line, either on the ground or in the air, is out of play.—Agreed to.—Law 5: Line 4, substitute "field of play" for ground.—Agreed to. —The Committee request the International Board to define the words "stand on the touch liue" (5th lins) Any part of the player's two feet must be upon the touch line when he throws the ball. Law 9: Omit the word "fla" in line 5. Agreed—Law 10: The goalkeeper shall not be charged unless be be holding the ball," or obstruct- iflg an opponent, is substituted for the last sentence.

The meeting was private. — ♦-—

CYCLING. fRY "PUMP HARDER. "| It seems strange that knights of the wheel," whose pastime is so dependent on the weat'er, -shoutd be able to have too much, or rather too long a spell of sunshine. But it is true of the cyclist, as with others, that they can have too much of a good thing. In this case too long a spell or hot weather has had a bad effect on the surface of the roads, and, therefore, the showers of rain which we have had since I wrote last week's notes have been welcomed by the wheel-world in common with the rest of the community. In fact, it has been almost a treat to don one's mackintosh and feel cool and refreshing air which the rain has brought as a change to the blistering pavements and du,ty roads. This has been a wonderful season for May blossom, and as the flying wheel takes its rider along, the road-side hedges have given off a fra- grance so heavy that one might be inclined to think it could be bottled like die darkness of Pempeii. I have often sat on a certain gate over- looking Meifod with mine steed reclining in the ditch, and noticed how the whole countryside showed up great masses of white blossom, orchards and hedgerows vicing with each other in beauty. By the way the rider that likes to take it easy" is very partial to gates, and I must say that they arc a great institution" in a lazy ride. To perch oneself on a five-barred gate overlooking a nice stretch of scenery, and to smoke tho pipe of peace in quiet contemplation of the mundane work!, is decidedly better for the moral and physical welfare than the average method of spending time by the average young man. A good many cyclists are still using the '95 lop valve, which was superseded rather kite in the same year by the pattern now generally in use. It can best be described in the terms of the old rhyme When it is good, it is very, very good, and ..vhe!) it j" bad, it is horrid." So long as the valve is in perfect order and properly used it, is delight- fully easy to pump; the air goes in with small exertion, and the tyre fiils rapidly. But alas It very seldom is in perfect order. Its most common trick is a habit of becoming rigidly fixed in its place and, as necessity demands that it shall be slightly pushed in before commencing to pump, if the air is to go in easily, this is rather awkward, and entails much labour in getting the tyre tight. To remedy such a state of affairs it, is necessary to deflate tho tyro and take off the cover, when the inner part of the valve will be exposed, and can be loosened. On the whole I think it decidedly better for a eyenst who is using his last year's machine to get the valves changed. The cost will be about four shillings. I carefully watched the motor cycles which were put through their paces at Cat ford between the events at the Simpson chain match, and I must say that 1 was not very favourably impressed. The oil driven one ridden by Mr Duncan was most complicated in appearance, and appeared to vibrate terribly. The Kane-Pennington motor ran more steadiiy, but emitted a noise like a steam engine, and did not travel very fast. One tricycle was on view which ran steadily, but at a moderate pace. It seemed a most complicated affair, and terribly heavy. The gear case has almost become a necessity on road bicycles, in consequence of the general desire for narrow treads. A narrow tread entails very little clearance between crank and chain, nd if the latter is in the smallest degree slack there is a tendency to swing out over the end of the crank when back pedalling. This generally results in a broken chain and twisted f-amo. J speak from sad experience. I am exccedingiy careful about the adjustment of nv chains, and yet I have had this accident happen to me twice—once when on a triplet and once on a tandem. Needless to fay such an accident could not occur were (1, gear case fitted. A good many people now use puncture-proof inner tubes, and others are desirous of doing Some particulars may therefore be useful. The extra cost is about 10s per wheel and the protection from ordinary puncture is complete. Of course if a broken bottle, or a big knite blade, or anything of that sort is encountered, the tube will collapse but such mishaps are rare in comparison with thorn or nail stabs, against which the tubes are quite effective. As to the loss in speed, there is certainly a little but I do not think the ordinary touring rider is likely to notice it; and speed- merchants" have long since decided not to use punctnre-preenting devices of any kind. On the whole, I should not advise protected tyres for general use; only for those riders who are ex- treme.y nervous about punctures. Repairing is really a trifling matter nowadays. If a cyclist finds the ordinary pattern of saddle, and more especially the hammock variety, very uricorrifoi-table, it. is worth while trying whether a semi-racing saddle, with very little spring, will not solve the difficulty. There are some people who prefer this type of saddle to all others for use on ordinary roads, though the average rider does not generally care for it. It gives an exceedingly steady seat, which is especially valuable uphill; and for those who are not sensitive to vibration it is usually found comfortable. When teaching a lady to ride, do not make the mistake of trying to instruct her in monn ing as soon as she has got her balance. Mounting is better put off for a day or two until the new rider is pretty steady in her steeiing it is not the spring into the saddle that is difficult but the proper steering of the machine at the start. On no account should the pupil begin by mounting off steps and curb- stones. This is a habit that once acquired is extremely (iifficult to get out of, and often causes mortification to its victim, when she is compelled to wander about helplessly in a public road looking for somewhere to get n p. "Verax" is, I trunk, intent upon covering too much ground in the course of his six days' tour. To visit Wootton Baesett, Aberystwyth, Stratford- on-Avon, Marlborough, and Oxford in that order in the time would be impossible; but I will try to sketch a round which will include them all in the course of the shortest journey compatible with the conditions he names. It hardly matters which way round he goes, but, starting from Birkenhead, I will assume he first makes for Aberystwyth via Chester, Wrexham, Oswestry, Welshpool, Newtown, Llanidloes, and Llangurig. He could either return from the coast to Llangurig again, and so get the fine bit of Wye between chat place and Rhayader, or he could reach a.hayader direct by the Devil's Bridge route. Then he should drop down to Builth, and make for Brecon, on no account taking the short road over the moun- tains, but going round by Llyswen iustead. The way thence to Abergavenny was described in detail in these Notes" on Juno 6. Continuing, the tourist must be snre to take the Raglan route to Monmouth, and he can then drop down to Chepstow and book for Bristol by the Severn Tunnel route. This will not only save time, bur, avoid Gloucester, which it is perhaps wise to do at present. I should now recommend that Wootton liassett be rencheJ bv way of Bath, Chippenham, and Sutton Benger. Although 1 do not know the cross road through the last-named place, I feel sure it will ba better than the climb over Derry Hill towards Bowopd and I li(- deviation through Calne. There is no mistaking the road from Wootton Bassett to Marlborough, and the way thence to Oxford lies through Hungerford, Wantage, and Abingdon. Stratford- on-Avon, Worcester (by the reverse of M. L.'s route), Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Wem, Whitchurch, Chester, will be links in the homeward run. e ought to haveour rights and privileges preserv- ed, and now that the Right Hon A. J. Balfour, M.P., has consented to be the president of the N.C.U., and it is evident that he will be a powerful figure- head to protect the. interests of cyclists in Parlia- ment and official circles. It is one of he best features or possibilities of the "cycling craze," as it is cailed, that ic will make a large number of people in sympathy with the pastime of cycling, and particularly amongst the upper ten," who had hitherto treated the pastime with a kind of snobbish superciliousness that threatened to produce some very awkward and restrictive legislation against cycling. As it is, we are not out of the wood. and it behoves all riders to observe .the law as it affects them, and to be particularly careful when riding.through towns or crowded thorough- fares. 1 have seen several riders go through the main streets of Welshpool at a far too rapid pace, and as they simply do it to "show off," 1 always feel a sort of contempt for them. It is such actions as this on the part of a few foolish ones that will bring about legislation to crib, cabin, and confiti(I the pastime as a whole. A cyc'ists' club is about to be formed at Lhn- brynmair. There are about 50 riders in the district, and there is a, feeling amongst them that a club should be formed, ana a meeting will be called at an early date to put things into order. There are some excellent roads in this district, and the run from Talerddi to Rliiwsaeson, a distance of five miles is as pretty a run as you can find. Another fine spin can be taken along the valley to Llanid- loes. Travellers on the line can catch a glimpse of the valley as they pass the Llanbrynmair Station. In the distance the hills can be seen lining the valley the whole of the way, and no more bracing climate can be found than that which exists amongst the hills of Llanbrynmair. If yon are a lover of soli- tude, and wish to indulge your thoughts far enough away from the hum, of bugtf life, take a spin â this ralley and you will soon find yourself in the heart of the hiils, free to meditate as long as you care to do so without interruption. Our country police are awaking to the fact that they can travel quicker on a machine than they can by walking. In the case of following an accused person, the officer who possesses a machine is lucky and t his week a case occurred at Machynlleth of a tiamp absconding from the Workhouse potato-field without having done his task. One cannot blame a tramp for leaviug his work when the porter had gone away, for the Workhouse regulations say that vagrants must do a certain amount of labour but they do not say anything about the tramp taking charge of his own person when the official in charge had gone out of sight. This is, by the way, because that tramp was quickly nabbed by P.C. Jones, also by the way (side), who with the aid of his machine, ran him down before he had reached Cemmes road.
