H. Cecil Raikes, h"r Majesty's Postmaster-General, and M.P. for the University of Cambridge, who—tirst as a member of the committee, occupying the post of chairman from 1867 to 1874, and subsequently as a vice-president had been so long and so conspicuously associated with their work. The committee feel that in Mr Raikes they have lost a fellow-worker who, with great abilities, sound judgment, and wide influence. combined a love for the Church, a know- ledge of her history, and a conviction of her usefulness and sacred mission, as rendered him, both in the House, of Commons and in the country, an invaluable worker in Church defence. The committee beg to tender to Mrs Raikea and her family their most sincere sympathy in the great loss they have sustained. —The haU.yearly ordinary general meeting of the Mid-Wales Railway Company was held on Wednes. day at Jralmerston Buildings, London, Mr -3. G. Sheppard presidiag.-The directors submitted a report showing that the company's proportion of the net joint receipts amounted to 26,013 13i 8d, being a decrease of 2425 43 2d as compared with the corre- sponding period of last year. This decrease had been principally caused by the increased amount paid to the Cambrian Company for interest on capital ex- pended by that company under the requisition of the Board of Trade for interlocking, continuous brakea, &c., and the additional cost of coal and materials The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report. said the railway was now entirely under the control of the Cambrian Railwaya Company. It was un. satisfactory that they did not give them more t-affic receipts, but the company could not blame them for !.a.. mL_ .3- lu. -Lijt!ru iviso II aecreaae or receipts amounting to £425. but the company had been able to pay interest upon their debentures A and B. He would be glad if be could give a satisfactory report as to the prospects for the next half-year, but he was afraid he could not hold out any very great hopes of any material im. provgment.—Mr Slattery seconded the motion, which was adopted, and the meeting terminated.

Wrexham playeda Combination fixture at home Wrexham played a Combinat-on fixture at home on Saturday, their opponents being Stockport County. The game opened in a startling manner, as in four minutes from the start, Wrexham had scored three goals. These points were put on by splendid play, and a better exhibition of how the game should be played has not been seen on the Racecourse for a consider- able time. The team afterwards seemed to fall to pieces, and did not again show any form approaching that dis- played by them in the first few minutes of the game. Fur the visitors, Hayes in goal played a fine game, and stopped numerous shots. Muirhead, form?rly of Chester St. Oswald's, was the better of the backs. and Dr. Blades was very prominent amongst tha halves. The forwards were fair, the right wing pair being the beat of the five. Turner, who made his first appearance in goal this season, had not much to do, but made some nice savea. S. Jones played a grand game at back?, and Roberts and Hayes were gool at half. B. Lewis and R. Davies did some capital work on the left, and their passing waa at limes perfect. We are sorry to say that the game was rather a rought one, and one regrettable incident took place, Lea, no doubt under great provocation, kicking one of the opposing team. Northwich Victoria are a capital team this season and at present are running strongly for the Combi. nation championship. On Saturday Chirk went down before them to the extent of six goals to nothing. The score, however, hardly represents the play, as Chirk were very unlucky in front of goal, and ought to have scored two or three goals. The Northwich men played a capital game all round, their defence being sound and their forwards effecti ve in front of goal. On the other hand, the Chirk backs were weak, and the forwards, instead of following the tactics displayed against Wrexham on the previous Saturday, passed too much in front of goal, and allowed the home backs to rob them. Stoke Swifts and Everton are the other teams which at present are doing best in the Combination. Everton beat Macclesfield, at Macclesfield, on Saturday, by three to two; and Stoke Swifts rubbed it into Chester, at Stoke, to the extent of nine goals to one. On Monday, the Canadians played a Welsh team on the Racecourse. The home team was a fairly representative oti, and turned up, as selected with one exception, R. L. Jouea: place being taken by B. Lewis, of Wrexham. The game was even the first half, the visitors having slightly the better of it, and they led at the interval by one goal to nil. On changing over, after the first five minutes, Wales got the upper hand, and pressed nearly con- tinuously. About ten minutes from time, J. Davies sent in a fast shot, which Garrett met, and sent the ball over the bar. A goal was claimed and allowed, and the Canadians after objecting left the field. The ball undoubtedly went over the bar, and the eoal was wrongly allowed, but this did not justify the Canadians in leaving the field. To eay the least, it was very unsportmanlike conduct. Turner is blamed by some for the goal scored against him, but as far as we could see, it was more Powell's fault than Turner's. Both backs played well, Powell working very bard. H. Jones played better than ever, and his display at half-back was first-class. Butler was a failure in the centre, and W. Owen and J. Davies did not get on quite an well as we thought they would. B. Lewis and W. Lewis played nicely, their passing being very effective. The Canadians possess a fine goal-keeper it, Garrett, and their backs are also good. Dalton was the be.st of the halves, and Bowman and Buckingham of the forwards. After the match the teams dined together at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel. The Canadians visit Cardiff to play a South Wa!es team on Wednesday, Oct. 7th, and play Shropshire at Shrewsbury on the following day. J. Wilding will play for Wrexham at Chester to-day (Saturday.) On Wednesday night, at a meeting of the reinstate- ment committee of the English Association, R. Roberts, who bigued for Wrexham at the beginning of the season, was conditionally reinstated as an amateur G. Owen, of Chirk, was reinstated at the same meeting.

FARSDON.—At Farndon, on Saturday. The Albion won the toss, and were the first to press, Hughes scoring. Farndon were not to be denied, and before half-time equalised. In the second half, the Albion had by far the best of the game, but were very unlucky, and when time was called the game was left drawn. Final result One goal each. NORTHWICH VICTOBIA V. BOOTLE.—Played at Northwich on Wednesday. The game was fast, and play pretty even during the first half, neither scoring. In the second half, the home team was aggressive for ten minutes, then the visitors had a turn, and both had very hard luck. Cootie scored after twenty minutes. Result-BootIe. one goal; Northwich Victoria, nil. WESTMINSTER ROVERS V. TBANMERE OLD BoYs.- Played at Stanety Park, on Saturday. The home team scored one goal in each half, and won by two goals to nil. The following were the teams :—West- minster Rovers J. Griffiths, goal; E. Samuels and John Jones, backs; J. Wilding, W. Davies, and Fisher, half-backs; Cross, James Jones, J. Powell, Ellis Davies, and T. Davies, forwards. Old Boys Coppack. goal; W. Pugh and H. Jones, backs; Morris, Marsh, and Lee, half-backs Belcher, Miller, Randies, Morton, and Brompton, forwards. DRUIDS V. RHOS.—Played in Wynnstay Park, on Saturday, before a fair sprinkling of spectators. Neither sides were strongly represented, and the play was mostly of an even character, the Druids slightly forcing the game throughout. In the first half, Davies notched a point for the Druids. W. Jones added another in the second portion of the game. The visitors played a most sturdy game in the second half, and registered two goals. An excellent game thus resulted in a draw of two goals each. The Druids team was as follows :—E. Samuels, goal R. E. Jones and R. Humphries, backs J. H. Edwards, D. Wi'liams, and D. Evans, half-backs; W. Butler and W. Lloyd, right wing G. Jones and T. Davies, left wing W. Jones, centre. CHESTER v. BLACKBURN ROVERS.-Played on the Chester ground, in splendid weather, before a great number of spectators. During the first half the Chester men played a very good game, and Penning- ton, the Rovers custodian, had frequently to handle the ball in order to save his charge. The superior combination of the Blackburn team, however, was soon evident, and Evans, the home goalkeeper, was overwhelmed, four goals being scored in the first half. When play was resumed Chester pressed, and were successful in scoring their first goal, amid much cheering. The visitors again got possession, and made repeated attacks upon the home goal, and were ultimately rewarded by two additional points, and the game ended-Blackburn Rovers, eix goals Chester, one. MANCOTT AND PENTRE UNITED V. SALTNEY RESERVE.—The opening match of the Mancot and Pentre United F.C. took place, on their ground at Queensferry, en Saturday. The United won the toss, and elected to play with the sun, which was shining brilliantly, at their backs. Saltney kicked off, and after each team had attacked, the visitors' left made capital headway, and sent in a low shot, which was fisted out by Shallcroft. Not to be denied, however, their forwards again got possession, and from a scrimmage in front of goal, the not point was eccred for Saltney. Mancott now played with great deter- mination, attacking in splendid style, Hughes, the Saltney custodian, being called upon to save his charge several times. Shortly afterwards, from a neat pass by Taylor in front of goal, J. Garratt equalised. Play was now somewhat slower, and it remained even up to half-time, when the score was one goal each. Davies re-started for the United, the home forwards at once passing into the visitors' territory, and forcing a corner. S. Garratt placed this beautifully, and Suck- field heading through. This infused more life into the game, and the Saltney right wing were very conspicuous, a corner resulting, which, however, they failed to improve. Both teams now played vigorously, each goal being visited frequently. The visitors tried hard to equalise matters, but Milliogton and Jones made a splendid defence. The game was very evenly contested to the end, neither side again scoring, and the United were declared winners of their first match by two goals to one.

I WALES v. CANADA. 1 1 The Canadians played their thirteenth match on Monday, when they opposed a team representing the Principality on the Racecourse. The weather was wretched, rain falling heavily and a strong wind blowing. The attendance was consequently not large. The visitors were the first to appear, and were soon followed by the Welshmen. Canada won the tosa, and at ten minutes to five J. Davies kicked off for Walep. The Canadians at once came away. Powell returned, and Thibodo kicked behind. From the goal kick the game was carried on in mid-field. Humphrey Jones handled the ball, but nothing resulted from the frea-kick. Powell kicked down the field, and J. Davies and W. Owen did some nice passing, but Butler shot badly. Shortly afterwards, B. Lewis sent the ball across the visitors' goal, but no one being up, the opportunity was lost. On kicking from goal, the ball travelled towards the home posts. and Turner had to kick away a long shot. Bowman sent in a capital shot, which Turner saved, and the goal was finally cleared by D. Jones. W. Lewis rushed up the field and B. Lewis shot, Gregory clearing. A corner was given to the Canadians by Powell, It was well placed, but D. Jones headed away, and B. Lewis and W. Lewis put in some nice passing. A free-kick for Wales near the visitors' goal looked dangerous, but the ball was finally sent behind. From the goal kick Buckingham and Bowman got away, and the latter crossed the ball in front of goal. P. Griffiths gave a corner, which was well placed, Dalton finally kicking behind. A frea kick was granted Wales near their opponents' goal, but nothing resulted. The Canadians looked dangerous, but H. Jones checked them just in time. A corner for the visitora was kicked behind, and the Welsh forwards went away, Waring relieving. W. Lewis shot wide. D. Jones and Powell were kpt busy for some time, and then J. D.wies and W. Owen made som3 progress. Buckingham got past the Welsh backs, but shot wide. A free kick tor Canada near the Weltih goal was cleared by H. Jones. The Welsh- men then got dangerous, and Garratt saved. The visitors' left wing were given off-side when they were getting near the Welsh goal. Nice passing between Buckingham and Bowman waa next notice- able, the ball being finally worked over the line. TntI game now became fa?tar, and Powell was applauded for some good play. Doughty put in some effective work. The Canadian forwards rushed down the field, and out of a loose bully in front of the home goal, the ball was forced through the posts, thus scoring the first goal for the Canadians. From the restart, the ball was worked towards the visitors' goal, and a corner resulted. It was badly placed, and Munro and Senkler made for the opposite end of the field and centred. D. Jones gave a corner, which was got away. J. Davies got nicely placed, and crossed to B. Lewis. who shot outside. Bowman got well down the field, but D. Jones was too good for him. W. Owen again took the ball to the other end, and Garrett saved shoti from W. Lewis and Humphrey Jones. The ball was in the home quarters when the whistle sounded for half-time, the score standing—Canada, 1 goal Wales, nil. On changing ends, play continued in mid-field for some time. H. Jones sent the ball to B. Lewia, who centred, and Waring returned. J. Davies and \V. Owen got down, and Gregory gave a corner. This was well placed, but was got away. Some exciting play in front of the visitors' goal followed, Garrett keeping out a good shot from W. 0 Nen. Turner had to save at the other end. B. Lewis crossed to J. Davies, who sliot, Garrett saving at the expense of a corner. This was followed by two other corners, H. Jones finally shooting behind from the third. B. Lewis drihi)',ect well, hut unfortunately ran the ball out. Dalton stopped W. Lewis, and J. Davies had a good chanc?, but missed it through keeping the ball t JO long. A free kick fell ti Wales near the Canadian goal. H. Jones took the kick and passed to D. Jones, who slipped, and Dalton cleared. J. Davies placed the ball well across goal, but. no advantage was taken of the opportunity. Warbrick cleared a corner, and Butler failed to score through missing his kick. Garrett saved a good shot from W.Lewia. and H.Jones shot behind. Warbrick stopped Owen and Davies, and then Dalton handled the ball near goal. H. Jones took the kick, and a rush was made by the home forwards, the hall just bounding over the bar. After Turner had stved a shot at the other end, Wales again pressed. J. D tviei got well down and shot, Garrett saving. Ttie whistle had, however, previously blown for cff-aMe. D. Jones now came forward, and wasrushiin; for the Canadian goal, when he was tripped up. and Garrett hit the ball away. J. Davies pcrewed just outside the posts. A corner for Wales was well placed, bul, the ball was sent behind. About ten minutes before time, D. Jones again dribbled well, and passed to J. Davies, who shot. Garrett met the ball, and appeared to hit it over the bar. A goal was claimed and allowed. The Canadians objected, and finally left the field, the score standing, Canada, one goal; Wales, one goal.

From the centre kick, Davies and Lewis secured, and took the ball towards their opponents' goal by some clever passing, and on tha ball being crossed Lea got possession and banged in a third goal for Wrexham, the three goala being got under five minutes.

The home forwards transferred the rlay, and Lewis sent through, but the whistle having gone for offside, it did not count. From a centre by Parry, Lea sent over the crossbar. After the visitors had paid a short visit at the other end, Lewis sent in a good shot, which was cleared by Hayes. From a miskick by C.

I TRADE INTELLIGENCE. I COAL AND IRON. BARROW, Monday,—The hamntite pig-iron trade is steady in tone, but is nevertheless quiet; there has not been much business done.

I AGRICULTURE, Owing to the bad harvest the imports of corn into France will be unusually large this year. At present nearly four and a quarter million hectolitres ot corn is on iti way to French poits. At Dunkirk tie importation of wheat has increased to such an extent that a week ago the docks were fully occupied by ships, chiefly British, discharging cargoes of corn from tha Unitad States. AGRICULTURAL SEED TRADE, LONDON, Wednesday, -Messrs John Shaw and Sons. seed merchants. of Great Maze Pond, London, S.E., write that Eng- lish buyers of new American red clover, anticipating lower rates, hold off. Alsyke, white, and trefoil un- changed. Italian ryegrass tends upwards. Winter tares and rye are now obtainable in London on moderate terms. For blue peas the inquiry is limited. Canary and hemp seed steady. Italian millet dearer, new haricots being good and cheap.

FARMING AND THE CORN TRADE. The ilra-, k Lane Express of Monday says:— Sunshine only put in an appearance to remind U3 of the blessings not accorded to ua this season. Very few wheat samples come to any market in a dry or fit condition, and the old is such that the London average has fallen 4i 2d on the week. During the past week, however, extreme uncertainty has marked the wheat trade. London, Chelmsford, Derby, Lincoln, and Liverpool have been better since Monday, both London and Liverpool closing very firm; but Bristol, Dublin, Hull, and Southampton among the port', together with a large majority of the inlaud exchanges, allow about It decline. The Spring corn trade is against holders, the principal event of the week being the offer of Amercian maize crop at 23i 6d. January shipment. This has weakened the spot trade as well as the forward market. Oats have fallen 6d per quarter at several of the agricultural exchanges. Tne yield in Scotland and Ireland is said to exceed expectation, and as far as Ireland is concerned this is confirmed by the markets being generally lower for oatmeal as well as oats. Beans, peas, and barley have been slow, and I againat holders.

154 Y.B.R.W.F, INSPECTION OF A AND B COMPANIES. Col. Liddell inspected A and B (Wrexham) Com- panies on Wrexham Racecourse on Tuesday after- noon. The men assembled in the Beast Market at three p.m., and marched to the Racecourse, headed by the cyclist corps, under Sergt. W. Palmer, and the band, under Bandmaster Lloyd. The men presented a remarkably clean and soldierlike appearance. When the reached the Racecourse, the companies were photographed in busbiea and glengarriea. Captain Yorke, of Erddig, who had ably commanded the Wrexham Volunteers f it over seventeen years, was present, and was photographed with the companies. Afterwards, the Companits were formed up in line at open order and received Col. Liddell with a general salute. Col. Liddell made a most minute inspection of each man, and they were afterwards put through the manual txercise by Captain H. Claude Martin. After marching past, at shoulder, trail and double. the Companies were put through the attack forma- tion, ten rounds of blank ammunition being served out to each man. They were then formed up in quarter column, and Col. Liddell said he should have preferred to have had the battalion together for inspection. but by inspecting the Companies sepaiataly at their own headquarters he saw more of the detail of each Company. All the Volunteers he had inspected dril!ed well, but the Wrexham Companies need not fear comparison with any of them. Their drill was very good indeed. The men were steady under arms, and their arms and accoutrements were clean and well put on. The manual exercise he had never seen done better by any Volunteers, and the attack formation was very intelligently performed. He waa pleased to see that the Wrexham Compiniea had a corps of cyclists, for he believed that in a country like England cyclists were more useful as scouts than even cavalry. He said that although he was a cavalry soldier himself. He had not yet seen the drill attend- ance book, but he knew the attendance of Companies, who could drill as well as Wrexham, must be good. He should have much pleasure in making a most favorable report of the two Wrexham Company. There were 149 present of all ranks, and the officers present were Capt. B. Lewis (A Company); Capt. H. Claude Martin, Lieut. J. J. E. Peel, and Lieut. LI. Hugh-Jones (B Company.)

I 2ND V.B.R. W.F. On Saturday afternoon Colonel Liddell inspected Holywell (D) and Flint (E) companies of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers in Green- field Park. The officers present were Col. Cooke, commanding olfScer of the battalirn. Majors Dyson, Sheriff Roberts, and Thorold (adjutant), Captain Lloyd Price, Lieutenants Trevor Jones and Taylor. and the Rev. W. L*. Nicholas (rector of Flint). the battalion chaplain. After the companies had been closely inspected, a number of movements were executed, and then the men marched past the saluting nag. Colonel Liddell, in the course of a short speech to the men, expressed his satisfaction with the appear- ance of the men. He urged them not to spare any time nor pains to become efficient soldiers; and he particularly impressed upon them the necessity of attending the annual camp for the full time, and not for three or four days only. This inspection took the place of the one usually held during the camp week.

A SPIRITUAL ROMA.NCE.-Meeara Macmillan and Co. are just issuing a cheap edition of the works of Mr J. H. Shorthouse. The laat volume is "The Little Schoolmaster Mark." It is a wonderful parable. Mark, a deeply spiritual child, is introduced to the Court of a Prince, where Art alone is worshipped. His quiet life, like leaven, permeates the whole place and after his tragical death, bears fruit in the lives of the Prince and Princess. The story as told is touching, and, as might be expected, the author has narrated it with consummate art. It THE CRUSADE EtS. "-I%le Psra.
