[ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] FASHION AND THINGS FEMININE. I BY MISS IDA MELLER. I I A BLOUSE MADE OF REMNANTS. I Lnoo is likely to be used more than ever in the composition of blouses. Coarse qualities piomise to bo very fashionable, especially as washing blouses are to be lavishly tiimmed with lace, which means that Torchon.. CViny and similar durable varieties will be favourites. Linen lace will assuredly adoin blouses of cambric and nain- sook for the coming season, and Tambour lace is being made much of, while embroidered washing laces bid fair to be seen a good deal. A MORNING SHIRT OF STRIPED GALATEA I here is much smartness in the new shirts— even the simplest of their kind—the latest edi- tions shewing a decided tendency to fall to the shape of the figure at the sides and thereby ajroid any inclination to slovenly outline. I have in mind a shirt of red and white striped galatea, of a soft quality-this being an excellent substi- tute for fancy flannel. It is mounted into an American yoke, and the fronts are arranged in small, even box-pleats, the sleeves being finished with stiff ouffs of their own material, while at the neck is a tie of soft black taffeta silk. tied in a double bow, and the belt is of black kid—or it might be red, of course. The beit means much to the effect of the blouse or shirt worn with it, and an endless choice is offered in fashionable "waists." very smart being a bit of bright myrtle- green leather as a climax to a blouse of cream delaine, either of plain sui face or patterned with green, the note of colour be.Mg- repeated at the neck in the form of a chic little tie of taffeta silk or orepe de chine. A, a. change from leather, siik elastic is smart and comfortable, and a. rose- coloured elastic belt, round and high, and adorned with paillettes of steel, is a special success. RENOVATING SLEEVES. I Owing to the fashion in sleeves, long mousque- taire gloves have oome in again, reaching to the elbow and meeting the- sleeve, which is usually tinned back thereabouts and trimmed with a handsome cuff, faced with velvet, lace or em- broidery. To save the expense of long gloves un- derslec-ves are. however, usually substituted, and require oiuv the two-button glove to meet them. But tho "rï.:lr.:05t walking c-ostumes are unques- tionably thosoaccomp3.a:cd by long rucked sloven. The elbow sleeves falling straight, or boasting only the merest suggestion of fuln-ess at the elbow, is capable of agreeably solving the problem of how to renovate a demode sleeve. If I rather lacking in width, slit it. up on the inner seam and hcn it across, over an undcr-sloeve of soft silk or other material; or let it lining simply as a cape-sleeve, with square ends. Another idea for renovation is to slit up the sleeve on the outer instead of the inner side, and arrange it there- abouts with a drapery of scft silk or chiffon, the inner side fitting tho arm. Tho drapery could j extend to the wrist or merge into the sleeve just below the elbow. The sleovo that fails in neces- sarv width en. the shoulders m,iy be granted the addition of an epaulet or flounce to improve I matters. WRINKLE CURES. I Wi inkles, it is sa.id. are furrows caused by the skin having become too large and loose for the organs it has 10 cover, and wc are further in- formed that melancholy and lymphatic constitu- t'ons are tho that wrinkle the soonest. To cure the unwelcome furrows equal portions of alcohol and white; of egg arc recommended—or honey and white wax. melted together into a pomatum, and need at night. American ladies, we arc, told, have faith in arnica and glyoerine and simply glycerine and rose water mixed is an anti-wrinkle wash Worth trying. Massage and the electric brush aro wonderful in chasing away wrinkles, and also in giving elasticity and roundness to the skin. BANANA TRIFLE. Various are th, ways in which bananas may bo served up-arnong them as a trifle, of which the following is a recipe:—Take 6 bananas. I orange, 0 pongo cake's. p:nt of good custard. £ pint of cream, and yoz. of pistachio nuts. Peel the banana?, cut them into quarters, lengthwise, slice the sponge cakes, and spread each slice with a thin layer of strawberiv jam. Peel the orange and cut it into small dice, removing the pips. Put a layer of cake into a glass dish, cover the cake with custard, then add a layer of bananas and socio picoes of orange, and repeat the pro- cess until the dish is filled. Whip the cream and heap it over the top of the trifle, and decorate it with split almonds. LEMON SYRUP FOR SORE THROATS. There aie few ir-inor ai.meats more annoying than a. sore throat, when accompanied by that peculiar irritation of the glands that ?ts up sud- den hts of coughing, prevents one from keeping because the moment one's head rests on the pillow the cough begins, and is prone to occur at most. inconvenient times-such as during a church ser- mon. or a quiet scene in a play. One of the nicest salves for an irritable throat is Ionion syrup, of which a.n old servant- recently gave me the recipe. It is quite simple. Take a lemon, slice it without cutting off the rind (but throw away the tips), lay the slices in a small kitchen basin, cover them with brown sugar, and add a dessertspoonful or tablespoonful of water. Place the basin in the oven, and leave it there for fifteen minutes. then remove it and let the liquid cool. A t-easpoonful or two of the syrup taken when the throat irri- tates is very comforting. The slices of lemon nced not be removed from the basin.

EFFECTS AND DANGERS OF ANAEMIA. Anaemia is having too little blood. It causes great weakness shortness of breath, pale lips and gums, Headache, Indigestion. Neglected, it leads to Consumption. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cure Anaemia just as food cures hunger; they make blood, and Anaemia cannot resist them. "Six months ago life was a burden to me," said Mrs. Winifred Eades, 30, Mount-street, Walsall (who suffered for twelve years with advanced Anaemia and Indigestaion), to the "Walsall Ad- vertiser." Mrs. Eades gave the following account of her plight: — "My lips were the same colour as my face- ghastly white. My appetite was very poor. I became positively afraid to eat, for everything I took lay upon my chest like lead. There was never any warmth in my body; I seemed quite bloodless. I was always crouching over the fire, I was so oold. "I went to the best physicians. If I had known then that my troubles wculd vanish when I got new bl9Qd, and that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would make new, rich blood I should not have taken so much ordinary medicine. The splendid set of teeth I used to possess have become de- cayed through continually taking iron. But my Anaemia only grew worse, and I was at the pcint of desperation. "Relief came when my mother bought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. You can judge by my appearance now how much I owe to these pills and how deeply grateful I am. "When did you note an improvmeent ?" After taking the first few doses. The colour began to return to my lips and cheeks, I was able to sleep, and I had a wonderful appetite. People are struck with the change, and cannot under- stand it till I tell them it is due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "I feel better than ever I did in my life!" These are wonderful words from a wcman to whom life had been a burden. All Mrs. Eades' troubles arose from lack of blood. Everybody knows the pain in the stomach when "loud hun- ger calls," but in Mrs. Eades' case every vein and nerve in her body was crying out for its natural foed-blood. It was by -making new. rich blood that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Eades. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are famed for the way they have cured not only Anaemia but Consumption. Fits, Rheumatism, Paralysis, and the frequent ailments which women endure in silence. Genuine pills cure: substitutes don't cure. Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Holborn-viaduct, London, will send a box I pest free 2s. 9d. (six for 13s. 9d.); but Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills can be had at all medicine shops if you take care to ask for. ar.d to see in red on the pink package the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

Frodsham 1, Widnes 0 Tattenhall Road 11, Queen's Ferry 1 Footballers trooped in. large numbers to Whip- cord-lane on Saturday, when the match between Chester and Nantw.c-h in the Combination tourna- ment was set. apart as a. benefit to Torn Doianey. captain of the Chester Cluh. Although not the best man on hs side, non can suipass una in nopular favour, and the attendance was a stitkuig testimony to the esteem in which lie is held. The receipts, to which Mr. A. Mond contributed £ 2, amounted to over ii-W, and alter paying aii ex- penses Delanoy Wili receive about :B;&. Dclaney, with his usual luck, won tho toss, and Mr. Mond kicked off ior Nantwich. Chester were without Hughes, Lloyd taking his place. Nant- wich played Pariott in goal instead of Barnes, who looked after their interests in a junior cup tie. Early in tne game they lost the seivices of one of their men. who was injured, and ne d,d not return to the field until late in the first half. The game opened at a great pace, and both ends were visited in rapid succession, while play was of a high order. I Tho Cestrians opened their scoring account with one of the. pnettiest goals that have been togis- tered at Winpoord-iano. After getting away a dangerousiy-placed corner, the visitors^rushed to the other end of the field, where Delaney checked them. Jones obtained possession, and pa.=ieci to Case, who sent out to Matthews. After a race down the wing, Matthews centrod just ad he was brought down by = opponent. Tne ball passed tho goal. and. had almost crossed the touch line I when Lipsluim headed back agaan. I airott rushed at the ball and missed it, leaving Case standing befoie an open goai. The ball came to him, and although the moment wa.s a must ex- citing one, he coolly and gently headed it into I the net. Sm?rt work aj?o c h aracterise d the gett?n? of the Smart work :J¡ho cllJ !wtoClised the gettln;; of tl:<' city's second ?o?t, w?ich happened shorty &H.a- ward?. Chester maintained a prcMUtu, and some time was spent in uninteresting exchanges bo- tween the defending halves and their opposing forwards. Suddenly an unexpected slip by a back was sharply taken up by Cake. By a short kick back ho gave to Jones, wiio scored with a steady, low shot. Soon after this Coventry made his first clearance during tho game by kicking away t dangerous drive by Bet-ley. but almost immeai- atciy ho was beaten through a miss by Lloyd. Dilvic") swung in a good Sliot from tne extreme left, which. Lloyd failed to deal with. Mason drove hard from close range, and Lloyd nearly put the bL.1 thiough his own goal, Coventry tleaiing very luokny. Towards the interval the visitors applied pics- sure, and Davies, receiving from. Betiev. scored. Coventry's vtew scorned to be very muon ob- structed by Delaney, whose bungling had enabled Betiey to get in. tne shot, which Davies turned so well LO account, interval ariived with tho homo side, leading by two goals t8 one. Early in the second half the Cesi-rians made tho pace fuiiously, and hustled the Nantwich backs sevoieiy, shots rained in from all quarters. A corner k.ck -,us awarded the city. and great excitement piev^iled, while this was quickly fol- lowed by three moie, ali of which were- splendidly placed. The fourth was taken by Mattlienvs, and L;psham was first- in tho rush for the ball, and he headed into the net. Right from the kick off Nantwich conceded two moro corners. Tho second was taken by Lipsham with a. well-judged kick. Case leaped high in the air, and headed the bail, Parrott making a marvellous save. A little later Matthews threw in, and Case passed down to Lipsham, who registered a fourth goal with a. grand diive. Nantwich then attacked and caught their opponents napping. Through some looseness on ttie part of the backs, DavLes got in a ground shot. Coventry went to kick away the ball, on which there WaÆ; no gicat. speed, and missed wretchedly, the visitors obtaining an easy goal. A little later Davies ran down by himself, and shot past when he ought to havo scored. Towards the end Nantwich woie danger- ous Ílom a. c-ciiier kick, and Coventry saved some- what luckily. The game ended in Chester's favour by four goals to two. Taken all round, the Cestrians were hardly so much better than their opponents as the score represents. True, both the goals Nantwich had were lucky, ar.d ought to have been prevented, but it was just this weak- ness in the home defc-nc, that detracted from tho effect of their strong forward play. This is not altogether accounted for by tho absence of Hughes, as Lloyd did his best, and gave a. splen- did account of himself. The. cooperation of tho players on the Chester side among themselves was often faulty, and a well-directed and rapid attack quickly disorganised them for a time.. A little more unselfishness, too. on the part of tho forwards would have proved effective, and it is a wonder to us that when the visiting halves proved such stubborn obstacles, and so difficult to pas-, that tho home quintette indulged so much in individual work. White was about the worst offender in this respect, although Case was nearly as bad. Evans and Barker worked hard and well among tho halves, while behind t-iiem Dawson shewed rapid progress as a full-back. Coventry was not at his best, and the visitors' second goal was most inexcusable on his part. Wo do not know whether the committee have I taken the matter into consideration, but there seems to be a general feeling among the suppor- I tors of tho club tkat Barker should have had a I share of the benefit. Barker is one of the oldest- I p!aye.t's for Chester, and by his unassuming and mode-t demeanour ho is very popular both w.A the crowd and his colleagues. He is also one of the most consistent players who ever appeared on a football field. To-day (Saturday) Congkton will appear at Whipcoid-Iane in an endeavour to wrest the Cheshire Cup from Chester. We trust that they may not be successful for two reasons; firstly. because Chester are the holders, and secondly, becau--e as Aitrineham arc the only other club left in the competition, the Cup would go to the cast end of tho county if they won. Saltney Carriage Works entertained the Chester Y.M.C.A. in a return Chester and Dis- trict League match on the Mount Pleasant en- closure in splendid weather. The Y.M.C.A. were fully represented, while the Carriage Works were short of G. Bennion, his place being taken by Crawford. There was only a moderate attend- ance of spectators. Saltney at once became aggressive, and were not long in finding the interior of thE, net, S. Bennion scoring with a swift shot after the game had been in pro- gress only five minutes. The home team con- tinued to have the best of the play, the visitors being able to make very little headway. From a scrimmage in front of the visitors' goal D. Roberts scored a second, and five minutes later R. Evans added a third goal for Saltney, who had the whole of the play during the first half. Towards the interval the visitors forced a oouplo of abortive corners, and Evans came within a few inches of putting on a fourth goal, the ball strik- ing the upright and rebounding into play. Half time arrived with the sooraltney Carriage Works three goals, Y.M.C.A. nil. Upcn resuming Saltney quickly became Regres- sive and completely penned their opponents' in, shot after shot being rained upon the Y.M.C.A. goal, but Lloyd, Yates and Edwards w-aro in grand form, at least for the first fifteen minutea of the second half. They succumbed to a shot from S. Bennion. After this reverse the. visitors: tried to break through, but their forwards were I simply useless against Haddock, W. Roberts and Conroy, the Saltney half-back line. After a spell of midfield play the home team completely bom- barded the visitors' goal, and increased their score. A one-sided game ended in a victory for the Carriage Works by six goals to nil. Tc-day (Saturday) Saltney Carnage Works journey to Bangor 10 contest the right to enter- ing into the semi-final of the Welsh Amateur Cup with Bangor Reserve. Saltney have selected the f.It'.1, to do battle for them:—Goal, J. Smith; backs, W. Lloyd and J. Lawrence half- backs, B. Haddock, W. RobertB and' H. Conrcy; forwards, Jones, Roberts, S. Bennion, G. Ben- nion and G. Crawford. Sealand-road Albion had St. John's Reserve as visitors on the Roodtee en Saturday, and a good game wu witnessed. The visitors at once I mad e tracks for the home goal, but were soon beaten back. After about twenty minutes' play Dobson opened the scoring for Sealand with a lovely shot from about forty yards range. This was all the scoring up to half-time. Upon restarting St. John's went away with rare dash and they kept pegging away until they scored from a corner. This was followed by another goal shortly afterwards. Then they had a penalty, but they failed to score with that. Jones made the score level with a cross shot. Shortly afterwards the Road were awarded a penalty, from which Powell scored the third goal. Pierce received off a centre by Dobson and scored the fourth goal for the Road. Tha home team pressed1 but could not score again, time being called with the result-Sc-aland-roaci Albion four goals, St. John's Reserve two. This was Sealand-road's last home match this season, so they wiped off their defeat of Bank Hoiiday, The Frodsham team on Saturday maintained their consistency for winning matches, Widnes 1 Juniors being the victims on this occasion. The game was oontested in the chemical town. Sut- ton was an absentee in, the visiting ranks, which let in Kinsey. Frodsham played with the slope in their favour and pressed immediately. Al- though they initiated many clever passing move- ments they found the Widnes backs very re- liab1e. Youd was within an ace of soonng on more than one occasion, but dallied too long and was deftly relieved of the leather before he could get in his shot. Such persistence was bound eventually to gain its reward, and after some clever serving up by the Frodsham halves Ellams, in the centre forward position, scored with a neat shot after beautifully evading the defence. On a. resumption tha home- team were confident of turning the Tables with the slope favourable to them, but history somewhat repeated: itself, and although they used persistent and strenuous efforts to penetrate the opposing lines, they met with a resolute and sturdy defence, Kinsey and Austen doing their work in a very efficient And determined manner. The game went on in a d.ng-dong fashion, fine forward play being met with equally excellent defence, neither side being able to gain anything tangible. The visitors had a few breaksaway, but did not seriously endanger the chemical goal, the game, which was most stubbornly ocntested throughout, ooncluding with a win for Frodsham by one goal to nil. As anticipated, Helsby sucoeeded in reaching tho final of the Cheshire Amateur Cup by beating Macclesfield in the replayed semi-final at Helsby on Saturday, and although the win was by 2-1 only. the victory was well deserved. The team all round played an excellent game, and were de- cdodl-y the better lot, in fact, had it not been for tho splendid display given by Wilkinson, the Macclesfield custodian, who. by the way, is quite a youth, and the grand defensivo work of Bryan and Pouiiou at back, the margin in the score would undoubtedly have been larger. Three times previously have Helsby figured in the semi- final. but this is tho first occasion they havo suc- ceeded in reaching the final, and thev will now meet W itton Albion at Winsford on Saturday next. They intend to make a bold bid to bring the cup to Helsby, and that they may succeed is tho heartiest wish of their supporters. Both teams were strongly represented, and the weather being fine there was a good attendance of spectatois present when the game commenced. The visitors started against the sun, and the open- ing stages were of an even nature. In clearing from an attack by the visitors, Hatton and Knight of tho home team collided, and the game was do- layed some few minutes owing- to injuries to the latter player, who pluckily resumed and played all through tho game, although suffering a great deal of pain. A comer to the visitors was cleared. A nico run by Hughes resulted in a corner to Holsby, but Poulson cleared. Another fruitless corner to Macclesfield followed, and then, from a pass by Cooke, Bibby missed by inches. Wilkin- ,-on c-cared smartly from Cartwright, a futile corner following. The game was finely contested. Further attacks by both sides were followed by Wilkinson clearing from Griffiths and Boyle. The latter player, however, beat him directly after- wa-rds with a dropping shot, after good play by himself and Cartwright. Helsby now attacked strongly, and it was only the grand defence of Wilkinson and his backs which prevented the score being increased on sevei'al occasions. Griffiths and Hughes wore j putting m some capital work on the home right wing. A couple of corners to Helsby were saved by Wilkinson, and one to the visitors also proved i abortive. Half-time was called with Helsby lead- mg by 1—0. Macclesnc)d were the fint to shew up after rMtarting'. a couple of corn&is being ga.ned, but Jones cleared the first one and the other was put out. Hclsby retaliated, and Hughes, although hampered by Poulson, got in a beauti- ful oontrc, which Cooke headed just outside. The visitors right wing made several good attempts to break through, but found a stumbling block in Ficteller, who, with the other halves, was s hewing fine form. A oorner to the visitors was eh wed, and Wilkinson saved finely two shots from Bibby in quick succession. Helsby were again most aggressive, aud experienced the hardest of lines in not incieasing their lead several times, Wilkinson being conspicuous with excellent saver-. Their1 persistence was, however, ic-wardcd, as Hughes beat him with a. fast shot- at clo>quar- ters, after good work by all the forwards. This was followed by one to the visitors, who scored through Smith from a pass by Smethens, the homo defence, who appea-red to think the visiting men offside, being apparently taken by surprise. Helsby resumed the aggressive, and a couple of fruitless corners were gained. Bryan, one of tho visitors' backs, was- injured twice, but resumed play with a few minutes delay on each occasion. The game finished with Helsby winners by two goals to one. In the semi-final for tho Wirral Senior Cup, Eilesmere Port and Bebington Vies, met at Port Sunlight on Saturday, before a- large crowd. The game was hotly contested throughout. In the first half the Port led by a goal, but Bebington played up fiercely, with the result that the game ended in a draw of two goals apiece. The Llandudno Corinthians and Chester Wed- nesday met at LIandudno on Wednesday in the final tie for the Russell Charity Cup. The tic wad first played on March 1st, when a drawn game resulted. The opening exchanges were in favour of the home team, who gained a oorner, in which the custodian accidentally carried through his own goal. Chester then got going, but their shoot- ing was very erratic, and several good openings were thus spoilt. The Corinthinas again took up the running, a free kick being awarded them. Bevan shot through just under the bar, Hutt failing to reach the ball. The Corinthians ooti- tinued to press, and gained several corners, but without result. Hallmark, for Chester, was prominent- with several good runs, but was not well supported. Just before half-time the Corinthians increased their lead from a splendid contre by Allman. which was headed through by Roberts. At tho interval the score was— Corinthians three goals, Chester nil. The home team were now confident of success, but the Chester players appeared much the fresher team. In the second half the visitors played a vastly improved game, and, led by Hallmark and Partm, made attack after attack on the home fortress, but were unable to pierce the defence until a penalty was awarded them and the ball safely planted in the net by the captain. En- couraged by this success, the visiting forwards kept the ball well in the home half, and five minutes later were rewarded with their second goal. The Corinthians replied to this almost im- mediately, but Chester came again. and. scoring two goals in the last few minutes, drew tevel two minutes before time, the score then being four goals each. An extra half-hour was ordered, during which Chester scored three goals to their opponents' two, and won a magnificently-contested game by seven goals to six. The cup and medals were subsequently presented to Chester by Mr. J. O. Thomas, chairman of the Llandudno Urban District Council. Our heartiest congratulations are due to the Chester Wednesday club on their great success. We hope Chester will follow their example and again win the County Cup. Connah's Quay entertained Now Brighton Tower Amateurs on Saturday in a return Wirral League ifxture. When the Quay visited the Tower a short time ago they lost by an odd goal after a. hard fought game, and on Saturday it was confidently expected that the home team would turn the tables on their opponents. Blucher was an important absentee in the home ranks. The Quay started down the slope, and with a strong sun at their backs, and the opening exchanges were in their favour. They forced matters con- siderably. and early Ball was almost beaten by H. Roberts. The Amateurs, by short passing, went to the other end, where the home goal had a narrow escape. From a pass by Vincent, Ball had to again clear right off the line from a shot by H. Roberts. The Amateurs pressed, and Dubbin missed an open goal. Bentham took a free kick, and passed to Noggins, who missed a rare chance of opening the score. The home for- wards lost chance after chance by erratic shoot- ing. The interval arrived with no score. I On resuming, Peters went into the forward line but the chances of the home team looked very remote. Early the Quay were put on the de- fensive, and Bentham cleared a good shot by Rotherwell. Peters tried hard for a point, but with the Tower's excellent defence they could not break through. All the Quay's lofty punts were cleverly headed away by Austin and Jones. At this point the visitors were the cleverer team, and the home defence was sorely tried. Watson shot hard in, and tho ball in its transit struck Bentham and glided into the net. A warm bom- bardment took place around Dodd's citadel, where ho was again defeated by Butterick. From a paE-S by Foster, Bell scored the Amateurs' third goal. The visitors now had matters nearly all their own way. and Rotherwell again scored. The game ended in favour of the visitors by four goals -to nil. Hawarden Bridge were at home on Saturday with West Kirby as visitors in a Wirral Senior League engagement. The Bridge were s h ort of Bradley. but Haswell proved a worthy substitute in goai for them. Thoy also played four reserve men. The Bridge started against a strong sun. A free kick fell to West Kirby, and a well-placed shot was cleared by Hewitt. Jenkins forced a oorner, and Moore was lucky to save. Taylor ran the whole length of the field and passed to O'Neil, but the latter was offside. The home team kept up the pressure, and forced an abortive corner. Kirby got going in the oentre. and Has- well saved a warm shot with Farrell on top of him. J. Griffiths tested Moore with a barldful which he had some difficulty in getting lid of: The interval arrived with a clean sheet. Upon resumption the visitors at once made headway, but Bellis put them to the rightabout. The home forwards lost several chances by. faulty shooting. At last Jenkins put Taylor In pos- session. and Moore was beaten all the way. Kirby went off with a rush, and Haawell had to come out to clear. After some pretty play by the home forwards, O. O'Neil was put in possession, and Moore was again beaten. From this point W est Kirby were a beaten team, whils the Bridge renewed the-' efforts to again 1 r-er the Kirby colours, and c'nkms succeeded irom a pass bv H. Baird. 'he game ended in favour of the Bridge by three goais to nil. Tattenhall Road entertained Queen's Ferry on Saturday. The visitors had to face a glaring sun. The home right wing got possession, and F. Cooke scored the first goal with a grand shot, and this was soon followed by two more, from A. Jones and H. Dutton respectively. Half-time arrived with the soore,Tat;tcnhall Road 5, Queen's Ferry 0. After the restart the visitors had a turn of pressing, but the home defence was strong. The home team pressed and soored six goals before time was called with the score— Tattenhall Road 11, Queen's Ferry 1. The home goals were scored by H. Dutton (3), W. Jones (3), A. Jones (2), F. Cooke (2), and R. Thomas (1). To-day (Saturday) the semi-final between Tran- m.ore Rovers and Hawarden Bridge will bo played at Rockville, Old Chester-road. On Friday evening the Chester and District Football Association dismissed a protest by Hoolo against Hawarden Bridge for playing J. Taylor, -ssio,na l and ti"l,  who they alleged was a, professional, and Bethell, in their Charity Cup tie. Hawarden Bridge's com- plaint about the state of the ground was also dismissed, and the deposit money was forfeited to the Infirmary in each case. The association considered the referee's (Mr. Thompson's) report regarding the Sealand-road and Chester Albion match, an account of which appeared in this column last week. C. Sconce (SeaJand) was sus- pended for the rest of the season, and tho other players who left th-e field were censured. The question, as to whether the match should count in the league table was deferred. FIXTURES.

STILL THE SAME. +. TOLD IN CREWE. Our memories carry us back to months and years ago, when we read in these columns the grateful words of local men and women. Yet I although many months have passed by, it is still the same: not a word but what i" heartily en- dorsed, not a single cure but what has stood the test of time. This Crewe ease is an interesting ono. The f-cllowing letter is from Mrs. Broadbent, of 27, Vincent-street, Crewe "Sirs.-If you carG to publish my experience with your Doan's Back- ache Kidnoy Pills, you are welcome to do so. This medicine ha.s done me a great deal of good. I used to suffer from symptoms of kidney trouble—sleeplessness, pcor appetite, and awful pains in my back (I could not stoop). I got soma of your Doan's Pills, and th?y did me good from the first, soon restored me to splendid health. I shall always recommend your pills when I get an opportunity, because I know they will do my friends good. Believe me, yours gratefully (Signed), Mrs. BroadbLjit." Eighteen months later Mrs. Broadbent said: "Dean's Pills cured me so thoroughly that I haven't suffered from kidney trouble once since. I can speak very highly of this medicine, and always do when I get an opportunity." If you are ill, write and fully describo your case to us.

GEORGE ROMNEY'S TUTOR.—Mr. Harper Gay-thorpe, formerly of Chester, in a paper en- titled "The Crankes of Urswiok, read to the members of the Barrow Naturalists' Field Club, shewed that for about1 300 years The name had been known in the Furness district. He traced the name through various Lancashire parish registers from that of Burnley in 1561 to Urswick in 1631. Alluding to the origin of the word "crank," he pointed out that it is found in Old English about A.D. 1000 as 'crano" in orano- staef, a weaver's instrument; that it had about 24 different meanings, one of which in English, meant lively or well, whereas it was sick in Dutch, and that the word "cranky" could only be traced back to 1840. There were two artists named James Cranke. The elder was born at Urawi?k 1" Ile went up to London about 1737, and obut7 ained,1' both fame and fortune as a portrait painter. A list of paintings known to have been painted by him in Furness, York- shire, and Westmorland, was given. Returning to Lrswick about 1751 he pursued his art there, and taiight Romney oolouring. He died in ?i?Rn L. ? ii? son James Cranke the younger was born in London in 1746, and lived at Urswiok ?fro'm 1755 to 1780 (except during the time when ne was at Dresden and Antwerp). In 1770 he went to Warrington and left there about 1799- 1800, and was at Gainford until 1816, when he returned to Urswick and died there in 1826.

AGRICULTURE. I CHESHIRE CHEESE AND DANISH "FREE TRADE." Under the head of "Queer Free. Trade," a contemporary .ays :-Ancther "Free Trader"- so-called—has be.an quoting Denmark as a Free Trade country. This time it is Mr. George Toulmin, M.P. for Bury, who told a farmers' association in his constituency the other day that "Denmark enjoyed Free Trade, to the benefit of its farmers, who get everything they want as cheap as ever they could. This b?autiful theory has been neatly demolished by Mr. James Smyiie, of the firm of James Smylie and Co., 16, Fennel-street, Manchester, who has published the correspondence he has had with Mr. Toulmin on the subject. In the course of it he gave the following interesting and in- structive little personal experience of Danish "Free Trade" :—"On the suggestion of a Danish correspondent, residing in Copenhagen, we for- warded two large parcels of Cheshire cheese for him to sell. I followed the goods after a few days, and calling upon our correspondent, in the hopo that he would have a good ace-oulit to render, he met me with a troubled face, and said that there was an import duty of 11 ore per pound (equivalent to 12s. 5d. per hundred-weight) on English cheese, and that it would prevent the sale of the cheese except. at a ruinous loss, and' con- fessed that when suggesting the consignment he had overlooked this fact. The cheese were re- turned to Manchester and sold here. I should lik9 to ask you if a country which receives from England, week-days, Sundays, and' holidays in- cluded, something like fifteen thousand pounds sterling ( £ 15,000) per day for butter, bacon, and eggs, can be considered. a Free Trade country when. it declines to receive the products of our Cheshire farmers, except at a ruinous rate of duty?" Needless to say, the only attempt made by Mr. Toulmin to deal with this little story was an admission that Denmark taxes some ar- ticles for revenue purposes and others with a view to prohibition, which, when one comes to tblink of it, is hardly the orthodox view of Free Trade principles!

CHESHIRE DAIRY FARMERS. I REVIEW OF THE CHEESE TRADE. i HOPEFUL PROSPECTS. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE. The annual meeting of the Cheshire Dairy Farmers' Association was held on Saturday at the Blossoms Hotel, Chester, Mr. George Barbour (Bolesworth Castle) presiding. The report of the Council, which we published last week, was read. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of tho report and statement of accounts, said the only objection he had to the report was that it had perhaps painted the position of the association in too roseate hues. They were in a very strong position; in fact. they had never been stronger in funds and membership, but he hoped that would not cattgc- them to rest upon their oars, or to think that they must not in the future, as in the past, strive in every way to uphold the association. Every landlord and dairy farmer in I Cheshire ought to be a member of the associa- tion. Allusion was made in the report to the shadow that was hanging over commerce, and which had affected the dairy trade last year. The distress in the cotton trad e in Lancashire was now happily a thing of the past. In Lancashire now they would- find a boom in the ootton trade, cotton being now almost half the price that it was this time last year, while the mills were running. not merely full time, but overtime. As a result J there were no unemployed in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorks, and parts of Cheshire. He hoped that this prosperity would be reflected upon the dairy work, and that be- fore they met at their next annual meeting the Cheshire farmers would have a good report to make of the sale of their produce. The primary essential was to keep a good article, and it was questionable whether they were justified in ac- cepting the prizes which were given by the manu- i facturers of rennet and annatto. It was of the greatest importance to the dairy far- mers that they should have the best annatto and the best rennet to use. and if they could assist the association in getting this they would be doing a very good work fcr the dairy farmers of Cheshire. (Hear hear.) It was to be hoped that the Sale of Butter Bill to deal with the subject of adulteration would be passed in the present session, for anything that could be done to strengthen the position of farmers and cheese makers who made a good ar- ticle should be encouraged, and, of course. every- thing should be done to prevent aduitoration. The chairman went on to allude to the importance of putting dairy produce upon the market in as pleasant and attractive a form as possible. Allud- ing to tho forthcoming show of the Cneshire Agricultural Society at Chester, he said the asso- ciation was not in a position to assist the agri- oultural sceiety by offering special prizes, but they were in a position to as3ist by becoming members of the society and by exhibiting at the show. In conclusion, tho c:.airman pointed out that the asiociat.on was open to criticism and advice on the part of outsiders, and would give any suggestions their best consideration. Colonel Cotton-Jodrell (on-a of the vioe-presi- dents) seconded the resolution. Ho congratulated the association upon the flourishing state of its ifnances, as revealed by a balance in hand' of J3216 as against one of £131 last year. At the annual prize distribution at Nantwich he ventured to call the attention of the association to the desirability of creating and developing some new machinery in the form of an intelligence department to furnish informa- tion as to probable and possible markets for sur- plus cheese-in other words, the development of new markets and new souroes of consumption where their cheese could be distributed. The Milk Producers' Associat.on had done something of this kind by the appointment of an agent in Manchester to help trade am: ng the milk sellers, whose work was being greatly appreciated and had' been of great usa to the Milk Producers' Association. He candidly confessed he was not at all certain at the present time whether the funds of the Dairy Farmers' Association would be sufficient to create an agency on tho same large scale, but he threw out the suggestion as a feeler. He thought such a step would materially extend the usefulness of the association beyond the mere holding of fairs and dairy shows. He knew Mr. Challinor was fully occupied already with his duties, and he did not think it was possible to ask him to take the burden of these new duties upon himself, because he took an enormcus amount of trouble to collect reports from other markets, and to furnish members with prices of cheese which obtained; but it might be possible for his staff to be so supplemented without very great expense in order to carry out the suggestion he had made. He was thankful to observe that they were looking forward to an increased de- mand from London. If they could get a good trade with Lcndon in the future, as they once had many years ago, it would solve this question to a considerable extent. He knew that for the past few years it had been extremely difficult to find Cheshire cheese in any of the ordinary hotels and restaurants in London. If they asked for Cheshire chetso they were either given Cheddar or a "Cheshire" cheese which had prob- ably been made in the United States of America or in Canada. (Laughter.) Seme years ago Mr. Tollemache and he undertook a pil- grimage through the London cheese markets in order to find out the number of hands through which Cheshire cheese passed after it left this county and before it was actually delivered to the oonsumer. He was afraid that tho number of hands through which it passed were a good deal in excess of tho number put down in a paragraph ot their report referring to the distribution of oheese. He and Mr. Tollemaohe traced the cheese as follows It was sold by the farmer to a factor, the factor took it to a big wholesale warehouse on the banks of the Thames; from there it went to a smaller depot somewhere near the Smithfield Market; there it passed into the hands of the West End grocers and cheese vendors; and at last it reached the consumer. Ea.ch trader through whose hands the cheese passed claimed his share of profit, so that when it eventually came into the hands of the consumer in London, it was sold to him at a price very different from that which the farmer received from the factor in Cheshire. If the demand for Cheshire cheese was becoming greater in Lon- don, he hoped it would be possible to dispense with some of those middlemen and to secure more direct communication between the producer and the consumer. (Hear, hear.) Mr. R. Mullock (Waverton), in supporting the resolution said he believed all the blight and all the sad statements were tnuv To report the state of the cheese trade from time to time and the ups -Lii d c l owtig of d--t i r -Li and downs of dairy fanning truthfullv. without. .giving offence to anyone, would require the tact cf an experienced diplomatist with a skin as thick as that of a rhinoceros. (Laughter.) IIo hoped their secrerarv possessed both. He was told that when tho secretary painted tho r, I industry in very dazzling colours, as he dicm. year ago, the struggling dairy farmers were inclined to shoot, sharp arrows at him. (Laughter.) When ho painted the picture in very dull, gloomy colours, as ho did in his retrospective letter last Christmas, he aroused the all-powerful sleeping interest, and bold scouts were soon reconnoitring his weak spots. When he reported a rise in prices, as he had tho pleasure of doing for once in his career, eighteen months ago, factors who were just beginning to buy stocks of cheese were ready to cheese-iron him—(Laughter)—and when ho re- ported a big slump in the cheese trade, as he seemed to have a trick of doing every summer, men with stocks on hand marked him and makers blazed at him (Renewed laughter.) Now, he (the speaker) was sure ho was to be rongratuiat.ed on having got through another year's difficult task in 'Charge of tho Light Engade fashion, sc- as to bo able to present such a harmless repoit. As far as the association was concerned, every- thing seemed to be in a most satisfactory con- dition. But he came to a clause in the report which said, "Last year was a disastrous one for the da:iy farmei." It. was certainly a Vto y dis- appointing year financially., but it arose chiefly fiom natural. unexpected, unavoidable causes, which were so severe that ho (Mr. Mullock) had not raet half-a-dozeu farmers who made ends meet on tho year's working If exceptionally favoured, and large farmers and prize cheese-makers with plenty of capital and a big "stocking-leg" or re- serve fund. were unablo to escapo a deficit. how fared the majority, who had to struggle to keep their heads above water in good season? In say- ing "Waka up," Mr. Challinor must have meant "Try again onto more, friends." and they could leply, "Wo intend to try again, notwithstanding that wo had done that more times than King Bruce of Scotland and his spider ever did." (Laughter.) The last words of the report were a prophecy, but there was no cause or sign given of the hope- ful prospects. Referring to tho cry "Baek to the land," Mr. Mullock asked why did not the Gove rnnient. compel city authorities to see that- every human being was housed as cleanly and in as many cubic feet of puro air as th-cy compelled farmers to house their cattle in, before thev would "low tlio miik from thoso cows to e ntei- the cities, (lloar, hear.) Let them make it easy for all, even the weakest, to obtain w hole some food- and an abundance of new milk, bread and cheese, and impossible for them to obtain poisonous drinks. and then we should have a stronger nation. (Hear. hear.) But why cry "Back to the hand." Had not the land in Cheshire as many animals on it now as its pastures would k0(,p? Some w: ^cacres said that a man could live and keep a fami on an acre of land—that three acres and a (c, was a good living. and that on small farms there, was a sumptuous living even after paying double rent. (Laughter.) Might all such wiseacres have nothing worse than tho punishment of trying it, for that would bo too great to bear. If a farm-er whose business was to produce food for his feilcw-men could not exist fairly comfortably on a 150 acre farm. he, could not do so. on one of Jess size. All farms in England wouid soon be deserted were it not for aneestial sentiment. There were thomand" cf farmers to-day who would never leave their old homesteads of their own accord, for as a (,lass they were as tenacious as a dying Govern- ment. (Laughter.) That association knew no party politics, and perhaps that was whv thev never fell out. Being the largest, body of farmers in the county, lie suggested that they might with advantage have. a general meeting a little oftener than once a year, to discuss some of "the things which now hindered their progress and others which might be to their benefit., but which could only be brought about by legislation. (Applause.) The report and accounts were. adopted. The Duke of Westminster was re-elected presi- dent of tho association for the ensuing year, and tlw viee-pwsidcnts were elected with the 'addition of Lord Tollemache in the place of the late peer. The retiring members of the council, auditors. treasurer and secretary were also reappointed. Mr. Challinor, in returning thanks, said he was sorry ho was not in a congiatidate them upon a successful year. Ho emphasised the necessity of producing the bos-tarticle they could, for ho believed that if dairy farming was io pav they must produce the finest quality, for which there was always a demand at top prices. But if they made chicse of secon d or third-rale quality they would be pitted aga;nst tho American, Ca-nadwn and New Zealand products. Unless they endeavoured to get beyond the, paie of foteign competition they would never have a verr successful time in cheese-making.

MOTOR TRAINS FOR WALLASEY.-The Wirral Railway Company have decided te run a service of motor trains on their system between Seacombe, Birkenhead, Hoylalte, West Kirby, and New Brighton. Direct communication has for some time been sadly needed between Wallasey and Birkenhead, and the Wirral Railway propose to construct a curve line connecting the two lines of railway from Liscard to Birkenhead, thus enabling the journey to be completed in seven minutes.
