Tihe latter had no one to. face- boult the "'little' wonder" in the net, but ithe-dartre was of the most miserable: description. Eventually Ithe visiting skipper brfougtt ahoult relief with a strong kick which was ibelauitifully -h w -,Idy, elude!d takien by I.e?wis Hu,, hoi s?k!:Ijfu three of his- opponents and iga-ve- possessiio-n; to "J.R." in the nick of time.

Trickily dodging the bacik, "J.R." coolly s'teadied himself, and' i^en drove past Davies at lightning speed:—a brill:-amt- ly-worke'd-for point, which was heartily1 ap- plauded. The wind! had fallen: off -materially by this and- ,the homesters thus lost m'uoh of that- which had proved so hellpful to their guests in the opening ha.l'f.

Conway were victorious, and they well de- served; their victory. That the result should prove isal. however, was' a mditer of as much surprise as cicngpaltul'atioim. The moslt sanguine never lanliicipa'tedl so glorious a triumph. The truth 6s—Caraway has- not yet fully realised the true capaiciity of the boys whio1 wear the lighit- blue: shirts, otherwise' Saturday's success would noit have so many of As a miatter of fact, they: -were altogether; superior to Llain- dud'no—nn'Mcing' One1 exc-epiciion:, anid this was that t'h-ey were not so smart oni the ball- as1 their hosts. During the- first fifteen miiiiut-es of the opening moiety ithe backs were slaw -and faulty, but they made up for it splendidly before the closle of the game. AI;ded by the: stiff breeze, Conway had four-fifths of the, game in this half, and 1 during tih-e best pant 10.£ the tilmei they were within -shooting range of their opponents' nelt. Under 'the circumstances: t'hiey should' -have been more prodigallwith their shooting. The pas'sihlg game was ,niow io,u)t of the question, -and this- seamed ;to- be apparent to all, Ibuit why not 'have: "let fly" .more Often ? Llandudno opened matters in a very business- like way ini the selconld ballf, and though it meant four sucicessf'uil shot's for a win, they facedl the imuscc ir-ight gallantly. Filficeen minulte's later, however, a shawe,r of sileet, and -tlhe1 wind feM. Skiplper Williams' decision to face1 the elements in the initial fifty minutes was, -therefore!, un- fbrituaiate, and Conway were. undoubtedly mUlchi favo-uredi in this respect. The: two first goals were netted within five minutes- of ome another, and the lasl, was easily got. They gave a better exhibition than Conway for ahoult forty minutes, but, after the fifth point bad. beeni notched againlslt them, -everything "fell fl.a,t"-except t'he,'r indus,trious little opponents. The last ten1 min- utels of the game were. practically monopolised by the visitors. The1 adjudications orf Referee Llewelyn Williams appeared to have given gen- eral satisfaction.

Rhyl Football Notes. (BY "CRITIC.") Rhyl Defeated by Bangor University. The defe-alt of the Rhyl team -on Satllrdiay last ati home must not be take ID it-oo- seriously, in'as- much as it was only a "frieiniddy," a'nd, there- forie, did not "I-cou,ilt." It is the old story :th-ait -teams considering their past prowess^ should ntot under-esitimiaite the abilities: oif teams: which are ncli pretending to first-rate- football circles. To be cau'ght nap- ping by a college teaml is n'o- new ex-pterience of teams -of far greater -superiority than- that of Rhyl. Collegians-, or members of a Umd'vtensity Cl-ub, are -invariably in the: pink of condition for ttiedr class of football, and Saturday last found the. representatives of Bangor University "all there. For the ene-ounter the- Rhyl committee dtiJdl not tall upon the -services -of the- fual leani to do duty, relying upon some substitutes. There- was a hiilgh wind during the first- iialf of the! game, and which favoured the homesters, who fairly "penned" their opponents three-parts of the: time. The; University men were: able- to initiate a few commendable movements, but the defence couJd' not, be broke 111 down. From a. pass by Brooks., Edward's scored a nice goa'l. This was- all thei scoTlingiiIl the' first half, but the remainder of the. game was a little more in- teresting. The Universitty forwards were: s-peedy, and meant winning, -if possrihle. All the home forwards were frequenltly dangerous, and after putting on another point, the visilting cus- todian disitdnlgiuished himself by negotiating sev- eral splendid1 shots. Bangor pressed, scoring .from a judicious pass, and afterwards equalising owing to a misunder- standing in the- home defence. The: third: and fourth poi-ntts accrued to the visitors by good work. This pilinig on of the a'gon-y was appar- ently too muc-F of a pill for the hio-me eleven, who 'Commented' to exert themselves, and they gave- the University men -a .taste- of their quali- ties. Numerous shots were rained into the goal- mouth in quick succession. The pressure was great, and .in the co,urise of a, determined ont- slaugh-t and am equally- -stubborn defence-, a pen- alty was. -awarded Rhyl. This me-arati Rhyl's third point; but they were- unable to draw level, and! were defeated by four goals to three. As previously stated, the result) cannot be regarded s,er?o?usi?,v, fox whids(L the, hormiest!?-rs, pl-ave?d? in, a -4 ?-o?ewhialt loose fasih-i?oii; witih,ou? ia,-i, ex p-erience,d gOlaIkeeper, kh!e University men were "full speed ahead" throughout the game. Byspeciial arrangemenlt, this Rhyl teem will be engaiged alt h-ome to-mo-rrbw, with Middle- wiich, in-the Combination. The committee -u'ave selected the folllowing as the- team-: Goal, R. J. Jones 'backs, 'OgiifLvde iantdi J. Jon^s half-backs, W. Roberts, Oaplton, and Broolkis; forwards, McCann, Rowland Thomas, Jenkins, T. Wil- 5aims, and J'. Roberts. +

The Geishas. MR JASON TRENCH, in the "Smart Set," writes inte'rest'nglyi of the Geisha in Japan. In order to understand the real infiuenfce of the -Ge.is'ha. in Japan one .must know something of how business is conducted, there. Our old saying in ti.s- country, "Busliness firslr and! pleasure- after- ward," lis reversed .in- Japan. There at is plea- ,-ure? 11 -first !and b?u,siiness, aftea7waxd th!ou.,h blac?l?- of that is the sordid principle partly expressed! by another saying, "More flies are caught with homey-than vinegar." 'F.or 'i.niStt'an'c.e, if a whole- sale dealer wishes to. sell a large bill olf goods, or -a contriaotor wishes to secure a valuaible con- tract, hie invites to. a smart dinner the prospec- tive buyer or the, man; who may give ithe con- tract. He tries to engage the beet-looking geishas, ,aind ,aho the. geishas, who, he thinks, are his friends, 'and will work for his interests. lit ils an undisputed ifiact that nearly every one of 'the more impbrtant Japanese, merchants has in his employ, at a monthly salary, at least one geishia. The man who -pays such a retaining ke has, first choice oif her services, but that does not mean that she can not go ioult and dance and: sing and formally entertain others. When la dlinner is given -with- ithe ulterior pur- pose of doing' business or oif achieving a politi- c,al coup, two :aittr,ac,?,I*v,e !e,sih;ais, who well ,g what is expected -of them, are plated on either side off the honoured gue-st, whom, with every fa so: mating wile known to them, they try to in- cline in favour of the amiable- host. Truth to tell, -if (tlhrey can get the guest intoxicated' they will surely do so. And it is a well-tested tra- tio-n that when a man gives his word in a busi- ness matter in a Itea-hiouse beifor-e witinesse. while under Mhe influence of sake or djher alco- holic drinks-, he {feel's himself hound to keep it afterward-—perhaps the better to forget the dis- graceful condition he was in when he pledged his assent to the transaction. Indeed, he is- far more likely to carry out promises thus mad-e than -,vhen :tlh,e i-i the sober t y are -,?iven i of his- office. As the pagan society of Japan s organised, the geishas- are simply indispensable, and they are noti ignorant of their advantageis. For one thinig, they serve- as .social substitutes for those wives, sosters, and d'-aughteris who are not allow- ed to be present at a dinner party :in .a Japanese nobleman's home, much less- in a tea-house. Bdt, as a mla/tiber of fact, many of the -i-n-cire re- fined mien lose their youthful enthusiasm over the feminine fascinations oif the geisha, and tire of færflalseHo voice and her dance, i,h,ilc Ih, is rather pantomimic thalll sa.ltatonia: These sa'me refined men, however, know that the geisha, quite apart from her more sensuous me KITS, has a peculiar value from har su,p,eth tact -in: enter- I es,t bv,talk and,!c'hla--Ff d.e,signed?, tto ta*n;i-ii- a gr I ther the game- that the hos't, her "protector," is trying to play. At .s'udh functions, whelre drab care is banisfh ed, -she does not diance the senious "o," but the comic "Kiogen."
