LAST TWO GAMES. The last two matches have been decided in Ire- land. In 1896 the game took place at Dublin, and Wales lost by a goal and a try to a goal. The visiting team was a thoroughly representa- tive one, but the side was weakened by the un- patriotic conduct of one of the foiwards, now out- side Welsh football. After trie interregnum over the Gould case friendly relations were re- sumed at Limerick. This was a match which will live long III the memory of its spectators, ^he Welshmen were 'repaid for their tedious journey by the tillip which their visit gave to the frame in the province of Muaster. The one re- grettable feature was the accident sustained by Parser, but had the ground been anything like fat Wales on the day's form would have won by Iliore than they did-2 goals (1 penalty) 1 try to 1 penalty goal. Thirteen matches have taken place between the countries, of which Wales has won 7. Ireland 5. a.ud one has been dmwll. In points too Wales has the advantage, tha leaders having scored in all 11 goals 7 tries to 8 goals 11 tries, but the disproportion in the number of tries and a survey of the scoring sheet shows that the Welshmen have not been allowed to bring their three-quarter scoriDg abililv into such exercise as they have done against the other countries in recent years. While it is true that Ireland has bad the worse of the luck in several of the inarches played in Wales-particular examples being thp. last games at Llanelly and Cardiff— it is equally trae that Wales has been unfor- tunate in not winning more matches on the other tide of the Channel.
