Wrexham and Denbighshire Advertiser and Cheshire Shropshire and North Wales Register

Oswestry visited Wrexham on Saturday with a poor team, and aa a consequence received a good beat- ing. The first half was in favor of Wrexham, but they failed to score, while on the other hand Oswestry got two easy goals. • On changing ends the home team simply penned their opponents, and Turner had only one shot to stop. Wrexham put the ball through on six occasions, and thus won by six goals to two. The Oswestry goal-keeper and backs did fairly well, and the forwards were fast, but they were completely over-matched. Turner had very little to do in goal. The Wrexham backs were very unsteady in the first half. Hayes worked hard at half-back. The forwards played well after the change of ends. W. Turner received a severe kick on the ankle shortly after the start,, but he pluckily continued on the field to the finish. H, H. Davies did some nice work on the outside left and ecored a good goal. Evan Williauas showed up prominently while playing forward in the second half. On Saturday, a benefit match for the Welsh League was played at Johnstown, between teams representing the Druids and Ruahon, and the Rhos and Rhostyllen clubs, the Ruabon clubs winning by two goal to nil. For the winnerp, Samuels played well in goal. Stubbs and T. Taylor were a champion pair of backs, and P. Davies was the most effective of the halves, though the other two were not far behind him. The forwards showed good combination, and shot accurately. For the loserp, Edwards in goal was repeatedly cheered for his clever saves. Pritcbard played fairly well. Gittens and I. Evans were the bsst of [the half-backs. R. Roberts worked hard amongst the forwarda, but shot badly, and was not well supported. P. Kyffin did not play as well as usual, but he was suffering from an injured leg. Dodd played a hard game, but he was out of his place. Mr James Davies gave every satisfaction as referee, and the match pioved a financial success. It is very improbable that any of the remaining Welsh League Fixtures will be played off. The annual general meeting will be called for the last Thursday in May, and the clubs will then be able to decide what they intend doing. On Monday, Wrexham Victoria were returned first winners of the Welsh Junior Cup, thus following the Wrexham Club, which was the first to carry off the Welsh Cup. Their opponents were Flint, and the game was brought off on the Wrexham Racecourse. There was a vast difference in the weight of the two team?, and we do not think we should be ex- a^gerating, if we said that the Flint men, taken all round, were as heavy again as the Victona boys. The game was a fast one all through, and was keenly contested. In the first half, the Victoria did not play up to their mual form, and appeared to be r ather nervous. The consequence was that Flint led at half-time by one goal to nil. The Flint supporters congratulated themselves highly upon this state of things, but on re-starting, there was a great change. After Williams had equalised the Vies seemed to be quite relieved, and settling down to their work, they showed their big opponets how the game should be played. The reBult was that, at the caU of time, they were returned easy winners by four goals to one. Flint had not the slightest chance in the second half, and were rather lucky not to have had more goals scored against them. For the winners Harrison performed well in goal, and the backs both tackled and kicked in fine style, Davies being slightly the better of the two. The half-backs were rather unsteady at the com- mencement, but settled down afterwards. The forwards all played well, Williams and Trainer perhaps showing up best. For Flint Bartley in goal could not be blamed for the defeat, as he saved grandly on several occasion?. The defence was excellent in the first half, but it broke down very badly on several occasions in the second half of the game. Of the forwards Croudace and Matthews were the best. After the match the Vies were escorted by a large erawd to their clnb-room at the Central Coffee Palace, Hope-street, where Mr Ji hn Stanford, the president of the club, entertained the members of the team to a knife and fork tea. A pleasant evening was afterwards spent, under the i residency of Mr J. Stanford, the large room being crowded. Mr Stanford delivered a stirring and instructive ) address, and three hearty cheers were afterwards given for the winning team. Mr T. Gill, the secre- tary, responded. During the evening songs and recitations were given by the President, Corporal Newey, and Messrs T. Smith, G. Edwards, T. F. BUlke, John Hughes, H. Trainer, J. Wilding, l'iit, Johnston, W. Squire, W. Fisher, F. Edwardf, T. Burke, and W. A. Holland. The silking of the National Anthem brought a most enjoyable evening to a close. T"e Vies have up to now played 15 ordinary matches, of which they have won 10, lost 3, and drawn 2, BCuring 68 goals against 27. In the Junior Competitions they have won their five matches, and scored 32 goals against 7. A meeting of the Welsh Committee was held on Monday night. Mr James Davies and Mr Wilcox were appointed to audit the accounts. Several complaints with reference to clubs failing to keep their fixtures were considered, but in the majority of cases the Committee could take no action, as the rule as to deposit had not been complied with. Westminster Rovers were ordered to pay 10 to Flint for failing to keep a fixture. On Wednesday night the annual general meeting of the Association will be held at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, at eight o'clock. Several important questions will be discussed, including that of professionalism, and a proposal to legalise it will be brought forward. On the same evening, the Committee will decide with reference to the medals for the junior and senior competitions, and the cup for the junior competion. Another proposal will be that, instead of as at present, the divisions being played out until one club is left in the division, when eight clubs remain, the whole should be put into the hat. On the same evening, after the general meeting, a meeting of representatives of clubs in Denbighshire and Flintshire will be held to consider the advisability of staiting a Charity Association.

) GnESFORD FOOTBALL CLUB.—On Saturday a large rumber of spectatjrs witnessed a match between the first and second elevens of tliisclub. Great interest was taken in the match, which was evenly contested, and finally ended in a win for the first eleven by two goals to one. FLINT V. SALTNEY.— Played at Flint, on Saturday. Flint started with ten men, and the game was evenly contested, Saltney pressing, but being unable to break through the home team. At half-time neither team had scored, and nothing being done in the second half, the game ended in a draw, no goals being scored. MESSRS SOAMES AND Co. v. MESSRS THOMPSON I AND CO. AND MESSRS BEIRNE AND SON.—A match between team?, composed of men employed at the above breweries took place on the Gymnasium ground, on Saturday. The game was very evenly contested all through. Five minutes from time, the team representing Messrs Soames and Co. scored. Immediately afterwards, out of a scrimmage, their opponents equalised, and the game thus ended in a draw of one goal each. CHESISU V. DARWEN.—This match was played at Chester, on Saturday. The Darwen team was com- posed nearly entirely of second team men, and Chester were short of Maddocks and Taylor. After ten minutes' play, C. Jones scored for Cheater. Soon afterwards, Jones was hurt and had to retire. Darwen then equalised, and added a second point. In the second half Chester equalised, and the game thus ended in a dcaw of two goals each.

WREXHAM v. OSWESTRY. ) On Saturday Wrexham played the return fixture with Oswestry oa the Racecourse. The kick-off was arranged for 3 30, but it was fully an hour after that time before the vs-itors put in an appearance, and then only with ten men. A substitute was. however found them in E. Godfrey. Jones kicked off for the visilorp. before a fair attendance of spectators and they were granted a free kick fllr hands in the centre of the fiild. i rom the k:ck ElliJ, one of the Wrex- ha:n backz headed through his own goal. Wrexham 1 then penned the visitor*, and Roberts had to kick away from Lea. Fieet inved shortly afterwards at the expense of a corner, which, however, wai cleared. The visitors* forwards now had a run down, but Hayes stopped and returned. The ball was returned, but hands relieved. The Wretiism right wing, now got sway, and from Roberts' centra a 8crilllmae took place in the goal mouth, but it was eventually cleared, After J. Turner had shot outide, hands was granted the home team near their opponents' goal, but Davies relieved, and the visitors' forwards again broke away, and Benbow got through the home da- fence, but his shot struck the cros-bar. Godfrey was well up, however, and scored the second goal for Oswestry. W. H. Turner was now hurt, and the game was stopped for some time. On resuming, the visitors were granted a corner, but Turner saved. and the home team were granted hands in the visitors' goal, but one of their forwards handled. The ball was again returned, and the visitors' goal came near being captured. From a free kick near goal the ball passed through the visitors' uprights, but as nobody had touched the ball the point was not allowed. From a centre by Davies, Roberts bad to hit away. The team still held the upper hand till half-time, but were unable to score, and when the interval came the Ecore stood—Oswettry two goals, Wrexham none. On resuming, the home team at once asserted them. selves, and gave the visitors' defence plenty of work. After Wrexham had had a goal disallowed, they were granted two futile corners. After Roberts had hit away, hands resulted for the home team about a yard off the goal line, and the ball was rushed through. Wrexham still kept up the pressure, and from a corner H. Davies equalised the score with a grand shot. As the result of some nice passing by the right wing, Lea shot in, but the ball struck the cross-bar. Fleet conceded a corner, from which Hayes placed Wrexham ahead. The visitors had not a single look in up to now, but were kept busily defending their goal. After Robert3 had saved nicely from a shot by Lea, H. Davies Bent in a low shot, and the goalkeeper mulling it Evan Williams rushed the fourth goal through for Wrexham in just a quarter of an hour from the restart. From a centre by J. Turner, Lea shot in, but Fleet saved by heading over his cross-bar. From the corner which followed Davies saved well. The Wrexham forwards, however, got going again, and before long Lea had scored a fifth goal. U. E. Turner, the home custodian, now had his first and only goal kick during the second half. From the kick- off the visitors' right secured, but Ellis stopped, and sent the ball to his forwards, who at once made for their opponents' goal, but Fleet staved off defeat. J<ot to be denied, however, they came again, and from a well-judged centre by H. Davies, W. H. Turner scored the sixth goal for Wrexham. From a nice shot by Roberts, Davies cleared by heading over his own goal, but the corner came to nothing. Shortly afterwards Hayes nearly got another goal, Roberts just clearing. R. E. Turner now had his first shot to deal with, and he cleared it. The home team still pressed severely, but could not increase their score, and when time was called the game stood-Wrexham six goals, Oswestry two. The following were the teams :— WREXHAM.—K. E. Turner, goal; R. Roberts and E. Ellis, backs; Evan Williams, A. Hayes, and J. Owen, half- backs A. Lea and J. Roberts, right wing; H. Davies and J. Turner, left wing W. H. Turner, centre. OSWESTRY.—Roberts goal S. Fleet and Davies. backs Richardson, E. Fleet, and J. Edwards, half-backs: Benbow and F. Lewis, right wing; E. Godfrey and G. Evans, left wing; E.

DENBIGH v. COLWYN BAY. On Saturday, for the third time, these teams met at St. Asaph for the medals and watch given by the St. Asaph Football Club. On the two previous occasions the teams had played drawn games. As before, Denbigh bad to wait a long time for their opponent?, and they did not appear until nearly an hour after the appointed time. Mr Hughes, saddler, St. Asapb, acted as referee. Captain Evans for Denbigh won the toss, and elected to play with a slight breeza. Immediately the leather was set rolling by C. Davies, Culwyn gained possession and struggled hard to score, but the ball was cleared by Parry, after a smart shot by Chaplin. The globe was kept in the centre for a considerable time, there being some pretty passing, until from a throw-in for Denbigh, Evans passed to Farrel, and Hobby shot the first goal for Denbigh. Fiom the centre, the ball journeyed towards the Colwyn goal, and was kept in close proximity for a long period. Farrel tried unsuccessfully to score, his shot striking the post. The game proceeded at a great pace, and out of a scrimmage in the Denbigh goal, Colwyn Bay equalised the score. The ball was re-started, and an attack was made upon Colwyn goal, several excellent shots in succession being beautifully repelled by Stokes. A free kick for hands was given Denbigh in mid-field, and Evans tried hard to score, but the ball passed over the bar. The Colwyn right wing did a smart dribble, but lost possession, and Hobby finally scored the second goal for Denbigh, from a pass by Nott. On re-commencing play, Denbigh at once took up the running, and Ned Moulder gaining possession at about the half-time, travelled towards the Colwyn goal and passed to Nott, who put through the third goal for Denbigh. There was a splendid defence maintained by the Colwyn goal- keeper, who successfully warded off several dangerous shots. Play continued in the Colwyn quarters some time, and then a corner was awarded to Danbigh. but nothing accrued. At half-time, Denbigh led by three goals to one. In the second half, the game continued fast, both teams being well matched. S. T. Roberts for Denbigh saved some brilliant shots at goal. and was frequently applauded. Colwyn fought hard t.) equalise matterp, but it was some time before a point was secured, making their score two goals. The play was stopped for some time, owing to the Denbigh captain being injured. After the play was resumed, Colwyn pressed hard. They obtained hands right in the mouth of the Denbigh goal, but nothing was scored, and when the whistle blew Denbigh were victors by three goals to two.

DRUIDS AND RUABDN V. RHOS AND RHOSTYLLEN. —This match for the benefit of the Welsh League was played on the ground of the Rhos club, at John- stown, on Saturday, before about 600 spectitors. Taylor beat P. Kyffin in the toss, and elected to play down the slope. Rhos and Rhostyllen having to face the wind and sun. Immediately after the commence- ment, the Rhos side had several shots at goal, and had the best of the game during the first half, but owing to bad shooting they failed to score. R. Roberts was greatly to blame in this respect. On several occasions he got past all opposition except the goalkeeper and then kicked wildly. The Druids' side notched a point during this half. The teams thus crossed over, Druids and ituabon one goal, Rhos and Rhostyllen nil. The second half was very tame indeed, but on the whole the Druids' side had the best of it, Bassett scoring a second goal, and Druids and Ruabon finally retired winners by two goals to none. The following were the teams :— DRUIDS AND RUABJN.— E. Simuels Ruabon, goal; Stubbs, Ituabon, and Taylor, Druids, backs P. Davies, Ruabon, R. Humphreys. Oruids, and R. E. Jones.

THE WELSH JUNIOR CUP. I FINAL TIE. I WREXHAM VICTORIA v. FLINT. I This tie was played off on Wrexham Racecourse, on Monday, before a good number of spectatorp. The kick-off was adveit'sed to take place at half-past five, and shoitly after that time, Craig kicked off for Flint, who had the assistance of a slight cfreez-, but I had to face the sun. Pugh and Williams worked the ball towards the Flii.t goal, hut sent behind. Wilding did some nice work, and Johnston made a good ret-irn- A run and shot by Christopherson forced Harrison ti give a corner. The ball was well placed, and some excit'ng play took place in the Victoria goal, but the danger was finally averted. A good rur. and cross by Kelly gained ground, Pugh kicking behind. Parry was well placed, but shot wildly behind. From the goal-kick, Lloyd secured and male a long shot, the ball just goine wide. A run by Trainer was followed by a corner for the Victoria, but it was placed behind. A shot across the Flint goal by A. Williams was screwed outside the posts by Kelly. Some effective play by Croudace and Matthews looked dangerous, but Wilding and Davies stopped them, and returned the ball. Parry secured and shot. Bartley hitting away. At the other end, Chribpherson had a chance but kicked behind. A corner for Flint followed soon after. It was beautifully placed by Price, and T. Bartley headed through the first goal for Flint. From the re-start, the ball was sent over the Fiint goal line. The goal kick enabled Bartley and Christopherson to get away, and a good shot by the latter was weakly hit away by Harrison. Johnston, however, came to the rescue and cleared in fine style. A good centre by A. Wiiliams was turned to account by Kelly, who put in a fast shot, Bartley hitting away. Gill returned the ball, however, and Hughes gave a corner. whkh was cleared. Johnston gained possession and kicked over the line. Hall saved well, when Kelly was getting near goal. A free kick for hands for Flint was followed by a corner, which was well p aeed. Matthews shot in, Davieg returned and L'oyd then kicked over the bar. A corner at the other end for?e Vie s was cleared. A free kick for hands for the Vic'e near their opponents' goal was badly placed by Burke, the ball travelling out of play. From the goal kick, the Flint forwards got away, Craig shooting outside. Trainer was c heered for a clever dribble, Hall just saving. An exciting scrimmage followed in the Hint goal, and Bartley finally picked up anti threw away. A goal was claimed by the Victoria and play was stopped for a time. The referee EnaJly decided against the Victoria, and threw ltu he bah ?pat the place where the game had been stopped. Pugh immediately secured and shot behind. The left wing of the Victoria kept hard at work, and Hughes put in some good kick?. Half-time arrived with the hall in Flint quarters, and with the score i standing Flint one goal, Wrexham Victoria nil. On changing end,, Christopherson and Bartley were the first to make a move, but the ball was worked into touch. Croudace was noticeable for some good play, and he finally shot over the bar. A good centre by Pugh resulted in some exciting work in the Fiint goal, Hall eventully clearing. A combined ruh by the Vies locked dangerous the ball going over the lint-. A good shot by Wilding was returned, and Gill kicked behind. At the other end Harrison saved a low shot from Croudace. Pugh got well down, but shot wildly behind. Hands stopped the Flint for- wards when they were getting away, but the free- kick came to nothing. A good centre by Parry followed, and Trainer was fouled in goal. From the I free-kick the ball was worked out a little way. A. Williams, however, secured possession, and with a long shot equalised the score. Trainer looking after Bartley. On re-starting, play was for some time in mid-field. A free kick for hands for the Victoria was well placed. The ball was sent into touch, and from the throw-in a corner resulted for the Vies, which was sent behind. Flint then had a look in, and Croudace shot just outside the posts. Directly afterwards Christopherson did the same thing, after a good run down by all the Flint forwards. From the goal kick the ball travelled towards the Fiint goal, and A. Williams shot through the second goal for the Victoria. Play now became fast and exciting. Kelly and Parry raced along the right, the latter shot, and Bartley was called upon to hit away. A long shot by A. Williams just travelled outside. Hughes stopped some good passing by Pugh and Williams, and at the other end Johnston was too good for Croudace. Bartley kicked out a shot from Williams, and then Pugh shot outside. A free kick for hands for the Vies near the Flint goal was well placed by Burke, Parry kicking over the bar. A similar advantage for FliiitNvas cleared by Johnston. Parry was given off- side, but the free kick did not relieve the pressuie for long, and the Vies pressed severely. Pugb centred well, and Kelly breasted the ball outside. A good run by Ellis changed the venue of the play for a short time, his shot going over the bar. The Vic,, however, returned, and a run by Trainer resulted in Pugh heading the third goal for the Victoria. Not satisfied with this, however, the Wrexham boys played up strongly, and Williams just missed scoring again from the kick-off. Some exciting play was then witnessed in the Flint goal, and from a cross by A. Williams, Kelly nlt through the fourth goal for the Victoria. The Vica had all the play, and Bartley saved well. Kelly headed outeide the posts, and then the referee cautioned some of the players. Flint now made a vigorous attempt to get themselves into a better position, but their efforts came to nothing. The Vies ran down the field again, and Hughes was forced to give a corner. Thh came to nothing, and then time arrived with the score—Wrexham Victoria, four goals; Flint, one. The following were the teams :— WREXHAM VICTORIA. -Harrison, goal; A. Davies and Johnston, backs; Wilding, Gill, and Burke, half-backs; Parry and G. Kelly, right wing J. Pugh and A.

THE LEAGUE GAMES. I On Monday evening, a meeting of the Football League was held at Sheffield, Mr McGregor in the chair. All the twelve clubs were represented, with the exception of Preston North End. The chief busi- ness was the consideration of the proposed new scheme to include thirty-six clubs. There was a long discussion in private, and it was decided not to adopt the new scheme, the necessary three-fourths majority not being secured. On Saturday, at Accrington, the home side gained an exciting victory over West Bromwich Albion by one goal to ni). This match closes the L?ague list for the season.

I THE CENSUS IN HAW ARDEN I UNION. A very large number of gentlemen, says our Mold correspondent, have written to Mr Samuel Smith, M.P., complaining of the entire omission of the language column in the schedules distributed in the Hawarden Union district, and we spent Friday making inquiries in that quarter as to what had been I done. We visited several places, and in no im t mee had the schedule containing the Welsh column been distributed, except that the enumerators in some I instances had Welsh schedules for the use of those who knew no English, and in these of course the language column was inserted, but in the English schedules without exception that column was omitted. We have this on the authority of the Revs. John Davies, vicar of Tryddyn, and William Williams, minister of the Wesleyan Reformed Chutch, Tryddyn, Mr Rogerson. schoolmaster at Penymynydd, and I others. We found out, too, that the gentle- man principally blamed in the matter was Mr Hugh Roberts, Penyffordd, registrar of I births and deaths for the district, and consequently superintendent enumerator. We thought the only honest course to pursue was to see Mr Roberts personally, and upon calling upon him he acted with perfect ingenuousness, being anxious to give all the information in his power, and to afford the public an opportunity of getting at the bottom of the mistake. To begin with, Mr Roberts said the Hawardeii Union, of which he is registrar, is a sub-district of the Chester Union, and that he acted under the superintendent there. He had seen something about the Welsh census, but had not been much interested, and when he received the bundle of schedules from Chester, he had net the faintest idea there were two forms of English schedules printed, one with and one without the language column. Bu*, with the Welsh of course he expected it. The distinction did not dawn upon his mind until he received letters written by the Rev. J. Morgan Jones and Mr J. Griffiths, of the Sarn Lane, Caergwile, complaining that the wrong papers were distributed, and then it was too lata to rectify the mistake. This, we think, explains the whole circumstancer. We have not the figures about the population of the Hawarden Union before us, hut speaking from memory we think it is about 16.000, of whom 2,500 are Welsh speaking, and the rest mainly English. There are, however, intermixed with the English a large number of Welsh people, in some disti icts nearly one-third of the parents are Welsh, in others only a sprinkling. Mr Rogerson, at Penymynydd, said he could point out a dozen families within a hundred yards where the parents were Welsh, so that alto- gether a very large percentage of the whole Union are of that nationality, and the result of the census with regard to them is wholly misleading. Probably some Parliamentary action will bu taken in the matter this week.

I TRADE INTELLIGENCE, COAL AND IRON. BARROW, Moiiday.-A better position is reported in the hematite trade to-day, inasmuch as warrants have improved with Glasgow pig and are changing hands at 48s 7d net cash, but the actual business doing has not increased. The movement is, however, satisfactory, as it brings warrant prices nearer those of makers, which are quoted this week at 50s for mixed Bessemer numbers net f.o.b. An improved demand would make prices spring, as stocks are again lower. and the output has been further reduced. Steel, generally epeakine, is quiet, but orders are fairly held at Barrow. In West Cumberland the in- dustrial position is unsatisfactory. A qniet demand is maintained for stiel shipbuilding material, and for slabs, blooms and tinplate bar?. Shipbuilders are still very busy. Iron ore is easy at lOi 61 at mines. MIDDLESBROUGH, Tuef;day.- Good attendance.

AGRICULTURE. I WIRRAL AND BIRKENHEAD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The Executive Committee pt the Wirral and Bit ken- head Agricultural Society, will meet early next week to arrange the prize list for their forthcomming show, which has been fixed for the second and third Sept., and the secretary Mr Arthur H. Edwardson, will be glad to hpar from any one who has any suggestion to (iffer or who feels generous enough to donate a special prize. DAIRY WORK LECTURES.—On Friday afternoon the first of a series of lectures on Dairy Work was de- livered in the Assembly Hall, Holywell, by Professor Gilchrist, of Bangor University College. These iectures are promoted by the local committee on technical education, and are for the benefit of farmers, their sons and daughters, in the neighbourhood. The attendance was large, and considerable interest was evinced in the very able and instructive lecture delivered. Mr H. A. Cope, chairman of the Agri- cultural Committee, introduced the lecturer in the absence of Lord Mostyn, who arrived some time afterwards. AGRICULTURAL SEED THAEE, 1/INDON, Wednesday. -Messrs John Shaw and Sons. seed merchants, of Great Maze Pond London S.E. report for clover and other seeds a steady flow ot retail orders, which are executed at the moderate rates now current. Perennial and Italian Ryegrasses kpep steady. Extremely low prices are quoted for sanfoin. Tares move off slowly. In both hemp and rapeseed a further substactial advance has been established. Higher rates also prevail for Millet and canary seed. Some foreign blue peas, which prove extraordinary good boilers, have just arri ved. Supplies are certainly insufficient to meet the demand. Choice scarlet run- ner beans offer at tempting figures.

I THE BRITISH WHEAT SUPPLY, In the House of Commons on Monday. Mr Chaplin informed Mr Howard Vincent that in 1890 the official estimate of wheat and flour produced in the United Kingdom was 9,500,000 quarters, or, roughly speaking, nearly 41.000,000 cwt. In the same year there was imported from foreign countries nearly 02,000,000 cwt.. and from BI itish possessions 14 000,000 cwt. There was no official estimate of the production of wheat in the United Kingdom between 1870 and 1880, but it was calculated that in 18S0 53,000,000 cwt. wai imported from foreign countries, and 12,003,000 cwt from British possessions. In 1S70 there came from foreign count ips 32.000.000 cwt., and from I British possessions 3,000,000 cwt.

 FAKMtNG AND THE CORN TRADE. I -1î'At_l\IN ANI? THK U<Ju. T!ADE. The J/a. ft Jjiine Express of Monday says: The advance in English wheat average has been the leading event of the fortnight, though the chief market-, as usual, have outrun the Government re- turns, and while the executive were quoting 37s 9d per quarter, reports from several leading country centres annonnuethat, no Knglish wheat is obtainable under 40'. The tendency of the market is btill in sellers' favor. Trade of late for foreign wheat has been decidedly active, and on Friday last the im- provement in London amount;d to quite lid. whilst flour was alao 0J dearer on the week, with a better sale at the improvement than on the old teims. The price of the quartern loaf has been raised i 1 by all bakers. The spring corn trade has been in seller's favor for nil descriptions. The reduced supply of I barley quickly found purchasers at Is advance. Oats were in fair but not large supply, and an advance of 6d for the whole country in ty fairly be quoted but the London market has not advanced more than 3 J, in consequence of the extensive reserves in granarv. Maize has advanced Is to 2j per quarter since Mon-, day. -u-

I AGRICULTURAL INSTRUCTION IN CHESHIRE. Mr H J. Tollemacbe presided on Saturday over a meeting of the Cheshire Chamber of Agriculture, held at Chester, to take into consideration the reply of the technical instruction committee of the county council to the resolution of the chamber with rcferenCA tn ilia I provision of a central school or imtitutd for teaching the principles of jigricuittire and of dairy skii. in the county. The situation was explained by the secretary (Mr Thomas Rigby) in a paper, in which he referred to the resolution that had been passed by the chamber, to the tffect that it was essential that a central college for the county should be instituted, and that the county council be asked to cont-. ibutj three.fourths of the cost, the other fourth to be raised by voluntary contributions collected by the chamber, the estimated cost being about £ 3000, and said the reply of the committee of the county council was favorable, but asked for more information as t) (1) estimated cost; I (2) how to raise money (3) the system of manage. ment. In answer to this it was stated that the rental of premises might be from 2200 to £ 500 a year; furnishing and stocking, 22000 salaries of managers and teachers, £1300; total about 93000. A request for 9500 towards teaching improved cheese and butter making, and for S1000 towards establishing lecture- ships throughout the county, had been received, and was to be recommended to the council. To the query of management it was agreed that it should be placed in the hands of six members of the county council and twelve members of that chamber. The committee accepted these proposals generally, but asked for greater detail of the purposes and estimates of the college which thay now proposed giving. It was possible that the word" college" was misleading as to their purpose. The intention of the chamber was to have a larger edition of the Dairy Institute at Worleston, with the addition of teaching other branches of agriculture of more general use than dairy work, and to add the advantage of teaching practical farming and the management of live stock and dairy ttock particularly. The idea of the chamber was to rent a farm conveniently situated of about 100 acres, having suitable buildings for stock and a good house. The scheme could be modified to the tenancy of a suitable house or pru t of a house without land or stock, where milk could be purchased for the manufacture of cheese or butter, and whence access could be had to neigliboiing farms to study the proc.sses of miiking, the feeding of cows, and the cropping and clllti vation of land. The for- mer they thought would be the best mode. but it would involve a greater expenditure. The teaching advocated was that which was most a lapted to I itir county and dairy farms particularly. The fees should be fixed on a low scale for both boarders and day scholar. and for attendance at lectuies. Youths and young men of other counties whose farming was similar to that in Cheshire might come on somewhat higher fees. The chief thing contemplated in suggesting the scheme was to raise the standard of agricultural education—both practical and scientific Both schemes, of course, implied ttis absorption of the Worleston Dairy Institut3,-A long discussion ensued upon tho reading of the paper, and on the motion of Mr M'Cracken, seconded by Mr Slater, it was resolved that the chamber should recunmend the adoption by the county council of the larger scheme described by Mr Rigby.

THE TEACHEliS' AGRICULTURAL CLASS At WREXHAM. EXCURSION TO GWERSYLLIT HALL. The members ot this k;laqq, in company with Professor Gilchrist, paid a visit after the lectare on Saturday, to the farm of Mr Lea, Gwersyllt Hall. Mr Lea met the ltulerts at Gwcrsyllt S ation, and then walked over every field on the farm with them. Gwereyllt Hall is a comfortable farm of 195 acres, tI, house beirg by the side of the river. Most of the land lies on the village side of the house. The soil for the most part is gravelly, with here and there patches of red day. The first field inspected was one yeal's clover and rye-grass, which looked very healthy and strong. The next had been down three years, with rather different grasses, and was particularly healthy looking. It had juit received a dressing of five ewts. of superphosphate per acre. In this field, and in most of the others, Mr Gilchrist examined the grasses, and clearly explained the dis- tinguishing marks of the different kinds. The wheat crop was fairly flourishing^ The barley was sown, and was being rolled. One permanent pasture of six years' standing appeared to have a very good herbage, and was doing well. This had just received 5 cwt. of superphosphate per acre. After ilispectixg the rest of the land, the farm buildings were next vigct?d. Here everything was going on like clock-work. The men were busy preparing food for the cattl-e. Straw- eutting, pulping, and cake crushing were economically i done by water power which was very coavenient. j Mr Lea has a large dairy of cows, and Eell mORt of his milk in Wrexhair. T?e cows were principally of Shorthorn croFS, and were in capital condition. A nice lot of heif rR were shown, which would come in lUM as milkers next November or December. One cow with an enormous udder and milk veins was particularly admired. The bull kr-pt for the stock was a very fine creature and thoroughly healthy. In fact the principal thing that struck every one was the thorough healthiness and apparent comfort of all the animals on the farm. The ;;i!:t of some black-faced Scotch sheep was a novelty to many of the class. Mr Lea agrees with crossing these with a Leicester ram. Mr Lea was besieged with questions on all sides about hit rtock, milkj ma bed of farming, &c. All of these I he answered with the greatest readine-s anu gt temper, and the thoroughly practical answers will be of great benefit to the members of the class. Mr Lea had a good stock of mangels by him, in capital con- i dition. His plan is to raise these and swedes as early as possible, and certainly this year he has been paid well for it. Mr Lea, as may be imagined, makes a great deal of fannyard manure, all of which lie uses ,.1\ the land, and in addition he is very liheial with aitiiicial manures. He has not yet tried B .si c but nuans to give it a trial next year. The land from it-, nature, will t ike almost any amount of manure, Im*. it septus to respond well to the application of so much. Mora mangels than swedes are used on account of the milk. About five p.m. the visitors were invited to a capital tea by Mr and Mrs Lea. Mr. Mrs, ami Misa Ir. tli, l ?'% l -:S;g Lea soon made every one very comfortable, and -.tf ter the good tramp over the farm full ju-tice was dona to the good thiiiKS en the tables. Tea over, Mr Pugh, POJI Quav, proposed, and Mr lhompson, Ifton Heath, seconded a hearty vote of thanks to Mr, M;e,^ and Miss Lea for their great kindness. Mr Lea, in responding, said it had giveu him pleasure to be at their service daring the day, and they were heartily welcome to see and learn all they could from his farm and dairy. Mrs Lea afterwards showed tho visitirs the "Cooley" system of raising cream, and tl.e I eft iter- ator at work, cooling milk for the ma k t

INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION IN MElUONKTHSHlKE. A HANDSOME OFFER. On the 17th inst., the Joint E location €T.>ncmfttea for Merionethshire held a sitting at Blaein.u F, stiniog. The members present were Dr. E I. Jone?, Dol^elley (chairman), Capt Mas*ie Taylor, Bala Mr O. Slaney YVy nne, Corwen Mr E. P. donee. Festinio^ ari(I tlia Hon. A. B. Bruce, Assistant Commissioner. O.ving to the fact that the li?v. T. J. Wheldon, B.A. (chair- man of the Feetiniog School Bnar.l) had at. two public meetings strongly opposed the echem i p.-epared by the local committee, great interest was taken io CLI t pro- ceedings, and a good number of the public attended the inquiry.—Mr Win. Davies, J.P., Cae'r Hiaidd (chairman of the local committee), said there was at present a higher grade elementary school in the locality. but the committee fully believed that it would be more advantageous to be under the Intermediate Act than being, as they werp, ulldef the Elementary Act. The people of the neighbourhood daring the last 15 years had most liberally Bubsciiht.il towar Is the elemei fciry schools they had, so that it was wlvUy out of the question for them to he able to collect i'2000 or J63000 at the present time t>w»rds a building for an intermediate school. But that seemingly serious obstacle at first sight could be met by taking over the buildings of the higher grade school for the purpose of an intermediata school. At a conference helll between the local committee and the members of the School B oar(I a regolit Lion was passed to utilise the highergrade school in the manner suggested, xnhject to the sanction of the Education Department. The coniua ttea wished to emphasise the fact that in a higher crad o school the education was general, whereas in an intermediate the education would be more s pecific, wh'ch would certainly better meet tho requirements of a neigh- bourhood such as Festiniog was. He expected that the number of children attending an intermediate school would be 300. As t) the question of fee. the committee were strongly of opinion that Ihev Eil, itld not exceed those of the higher grade school, namvly. boy", 22s 5J, and girls 15s 4 1 per annum. In ordt ;• tIJ keep the fees at those figures, it was their iatentiou to raise a fund of not Ies-i than £ 300 per annum for three years. The sum of £ 2S3 had a'ready been pro- mised, and he anticioated no difficulty in securing' £ 350 if required. The amount fitl!ki all available resi)urcep, including technical, local fund, county rate, &c., would coma up to about £ 1500. And-what the committee required wi4 for the commissioners to give them the best of education they could for she money. —Mr lJruce said the difficulty pointed out in the statement was a clearly liuani-tl one. 1;1 had been shown that the locil committee could not see their way to erect buildings for all intermediate school by means of voluntary efforts. In order to Il1t'et their present requirements the commissioners wou'd have to depart from their customary mo le c-f dealing with other places. He would be very glad if an inter- mediate middle school em'd be given them at Festiniog, but could not SPO how very much better they c mid be than with a higher gradf school. Their ca3e wai an exceptional c.vs J, and iki--i,t :j-- treated in 1 '1'1 an exceptional way. They would tty and meet their wants in the best manner [u3"iLIJ t'I ¡,it t.he locality.—The Rev. Sttiiuzl U.ven a>ked whether he understood Mr Bruce to say that it wuuld be better for them in Festiniog to keep what they had as a higher grade school, and to add to it an inter- mediate branch.—Mr Brtica answered in the affirinative.-The Rev. T. J. Whel ion. B. A., sixike in favor of keeping tho higher grade school Oil the local rate3, as it was at present. He maintained that by doing so a better course of intermediate education could be secured for Fo-tiniog than tluough ehe schema propounded by tie lo-al coiiiiiiirtee. Mr Wheldon had in hia possession a letter which lie had received from a oertain gert'eman, who-e name at present he cmld not divulge, which was to the follow- ing (fLct Dear sir,—! have hoard, what may not prove correct, that there is danger of the higher- elementary tchool in Festiniog being abandoned, for it is the only school of the sort, I believe, in North Wales. These schools are calculated to be of use to a great r number of intelligent young Welshmen than even the intermediate schools themselves. It would indeed be sad, for many of us were in hopes that the time was at last come when we would in some degree repay t) the quarrymen the services they had rendered to higher education. I think the cause may thus be best helped at Festiniog, where with good elementary ceizools, a good higher elementary school, a tood practical technical ill tel mediate schooi. and the Welsh colleges, the model of the educational ladder would b3 really complete. Funds would have been foithcoming for Festiniog to secure, if possible, the ii t ^-mediate technical school being tirst-rate, so as to give it a fair tiial to the sum eay of £1000. But I d) not believe a penny will be forthcoming merely t) relieve the pockets of the ratepayers by the abolition of the higher elementary school. I am strongly of opinion that this a very eerious crisis for Wales, in the ques- tion of practical education. The sens of quarrymen cannot all be quarrymen and there is an excess of clerks and schoolmasters, not only here, but in America and the colonies, which it is n >t desirable to add to. But there is any amount of room for first- rate artisans, and men who can work with their hands. *At the cloBe of the inquiry, aftar the Rev. J. lthydwen Parry, Mr J. P.i:ry J ure?, J.P., Air Jlobert Roberts, sen., bar] spoken in favor of the scheme of the local committee, tho liev. T. J. Wheldon remarked that as many hints during the last few days had been thrown out as to the H?-nuine- ness of the £1000 promised in the above letter, he would hand it over to Mr Bruce conSdant: uty, and would t dce his opinion whether h' would be prepared to accept a promise of 21NO from the cent eman who had written the letter. Accordingly ths lc tr wa given to Mr Bruce, who, after qbir-cing at the signature, remarked that he would cei t tinly trust the gentleman who had signed the letter t any amount) of money, after which the inquiry was brought ti a j close.

T A WELSH NATIONAL DI>:Xi:U. 'the Welsh members of the National Liberal Club held a house dinner at the club on Tu^-day evening. Mr Stuart liendel, M.P., presided, andamong-t those present were Sir Hussey Vivian, M. P.. Mr D. A. Thomas. M.P Mr J. Urn: Roberts, M L' Mr W. Bowt-n Rowlands, M P M<- S. T. Evans, M.

Dr O.VPU Pritchard, Mr Albert Spicer, and Mr E. Vinrent lOvans.—The Chairman, in proposing The Libera! in Wales," referred t, the homogeneity of Welsh political opinion as making the party recognised in the House of Commons out of all proportion to its numerical st em th. This was the keynote of the Eubseqttsnfc speeches, which were unanimous as to the urgency ot carrying out a policy of disestablishment, not only for Walps but for England. Several of the candidates for Welsh constituencies were present, and it was pointed out as a fact for self-congratulation chat in every Welsh constituency exc-jpt one there was a Liberal candidate ready to fight for flic when the time an ived.—After the toast of "Cyinru Fydd" had been responded t > by Mr G. W. Taylor, Mr Bowen ll av'ands proposed The Club." The hon. member referred to the important work which the National Liberal Club carried on as a political organisation In Wales, he showed. an institution would he superfluous; but in England the cIn;) was an admirable centre of what he callid missionary enter- prise. It so stimulated th3 powers of a^pirin^ politicians that thers were generally more Liberal cindidates than seats for them. (Laughter and cheers.) —Mr Abel 'I homas, M. P., responded to the toast, re- marking that all that had been said on behalf of the clubwasthoroughly deserved.—Mr S. Evans William", one of the founders of the club, also responded. The toast of "The Chairman" (proposed by Sir ll. Vivian) closed the proceedings. '———— A ———. —
