He believed tbe Irish alliance was one of moderation, and he repudiated tbe charges of inconsistency which had been levelled at him.

T. Duxbury, Darwen, was elected the representative of tbe Third Division at the committee meeting of the Football Association, held in London on Tuesday evening, the other nomination being that of Mr. Lewis, of the Blackburn Bo vera Great interest was centered in the English cup tie between Witton and Oswaldtwistle Rovers. As is well known tbe latter always play to better advantage in cup ties than in ordinary games, especially, as was the case on Saturday, when they played on their own ground It will be remembered that these teams met three times last season in the Charity Shield Competition before a decider could be arrived at, and then Enoch Rigby's lads had to knock under. However, since then tbe Wit-tonians have bad their revenge, for they have defeated the Rovers, previous to Saturday, twice this season.

The Blackburn lads set off in a wagonette to Oswaldtwistle, but on reaching Intack one of the wheels gave way and tbe vehicle turned over. The players who escaped uninjured were then compelled to walk to their destination. A large number of spectators witnessed the game, which was exceedingly well fought. Tbe home team indulged in very rough tactics, and as a result of this Pickup and Shorrock, tbe visitors' backs, were badly lacked, the former having to leave the field 25 minutes before time, and when the game stood in the critical state of three goals each. 'H'itton were thus severely handicapped, but they nevertheless played up with great dash, and succeeded in winning by four goals to three.

The winners all played a fine game, whilst for tbe Rovers Hargreaves, Little, Kirkham, and Wittam were a little better than the rest of their comrades. The Roadsters received a reverse at the hands of the Olympic, not, however, before they had made a good fight, the game taking place on the ground of the latter. This is the first win which the light blues have secured since they by the Rovers about a month ago. They had a abort run of ill-luck, but on Saturday they again showed to great advantage. The encounter, while it lasted, was very fast and exciting.

Each goal-end was visited in rapid succession, and each goal placed in jeopardy on several occasions. The Olympians great fault has ever been their uncertain and inaccurate snooting when in front of goal, but this they seemed to have remedied a great deal. They showed to much better advantage in this respect than the Roadsters, and eventually won by four goals to two. Barrett guarded bis goal in his usual clever manner, and the backs also put in some good work. Gibson was by far the best of the halves, but received much assistance from his partners.

The forwards showed up well, Carlile being tbe most conspicuous. His shooting was marked with great judgment, and it is an incident worthy of notice and EVERY READER OF THE STANDARD.

Mr. C. J. Walsh, proprietor of the Wexford People, has summoned to answer for his infringement of the imce Act in publishing report of meetings of sup-oresbed branches of the National League. In this instance two resident magistrates" will adjudicate in the matter.

Mr. Gladstone, Mr. John Money, and others have contributed articles to a Handbook on Home Rule, edited by Mr. J. Bryce, M.P.

the preface is by Earl Spencer. Mr. Gladstone describes his article as lessons of Irish history in the eighteenth century, and the growth of the Principle of Nationalism in Ireland. writing on the recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Irish Landowners and Encumbrancers' Association, Archbishop Walsh regrets that the Association has not earlier made some response to his suggestion for a friendlv conference on the land question. He tJiinks, however, that the resolutions passed by the meeting may lead to his suggestion being taken up, and says he is by no means hopeless of such a conference being attended with success.

Queenstown is almost a suburb of rebel Cork," the chosen constituency of Mr. Parnell and a stronghold of Nationalism. It was, therefore, not unnatural that both Paruellit.es and Unionists should anticipate an easy victory for the Nationalist candidates at the municipal elections on Saturday; but the five candidates of the Cork Defence Onion obtained a large majority over their opponents. This election is but a sign of the times. The great increase of vigour lately shown by the Government, as well as the general anticipation of a further increase, is doing its work.

It has brought peace and order to many districts of Ireland, and it is daily adding to the courage and energy of the Loyalists. In a case heard before the Cartow County Court Judge on Monday a letter was read in which the defendant had after commencement of action for the recovery of a shop account intimated to the plaintiffs solicitor his surprise at being regarded as such a fool as to pay money which he needed more than either the plaintiff or his lawyer. He also repudiated indebtedness on the round that if the plaintiff allowed him SO per cent reliction for all the money he had left in his shop" he would himself now be debtor to the defendant. The defendant based his 'claim to this set-off on his allegation that the Plan of Campaign is going in for more than 50 per cent for all kinds of debts." Judgment was course given for the plaintiff. Shgoniensis" sends the following to the Spectator A few da ys ago, not far from this county (Shgo), a certain agent attended to receive rent Tenants were all Mfcing for and receiving an abatement when one man came forward with demands more exorbitant and difficult to meet than any of the others.

His rent was about and finatly he produced what he said was a one-pound note, all he had wherewith to satisfy his landlord's claim. The agent took the note, wrote out a receipt, and banded it, with a considerable amount of change, to Paddy. 14 And sure, your honour, what is all this for your honour roust be making a mistake Sure, and didn't I give vour honour a one-pound note "Not at sAL my good man," replied the agent it was a ten-pound note." "The Lord save us!" replied Paddy; when Bridget put her hand into the stocking she must have pulled out the wrong note." That night, on his return home, there was indeed a "ruction table and chairs were all upset; and in the shindy poor Bridget's leg was broken.

Smith has just arrived from abroad in good health and spirits, in order to be present at his daughter's wedding to Mr. Dudley Ryder. The Executive Committee of the Liberal Unionist Association have decided to hold a general Liberal Unionist conference and dinner early In December. The condition of the general health of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has so much improved that his medical advisers have decided that with due precaution he may safely resume bis political duties. Mr.

Buchanan, M.P., has told a meeting of electors in the Western Division of Edinburgh that when Parliament reassembles he will resign his seat and seek reelection, in order to allow his constituents to express an opinion on his change of views, as be has resolved to support Home Rule for Ireland. It is believed not to be true, as reported, that Ministers will come to town next week for caDinet Council. It is extremely Improbable that a meeting of Ministers will take place before the 28th of the present month. By that time Mr. Balfour will have visited Ireland, and will be in possession of tbe newest evidence as to the condi tion of the country.

Lord Hartington, after passing the race week at his residence at Newmarket, returned to Devonshire House on Saturday, and there held a consultation with Lord Stalbridge, Mr. Craig Sellar, and Colonel Hosier. The meeting lasted about an hour and a half, and had reference to the present position of the Liberal Unionist party. Mr. Goscben addressing a meeting of Unionists at Bradford on Tuesday, said that the present Chief Secre tary (Mr.

Bait our), like Mr. rorster. stood unmoved and unswayed, because he knew he was doing his duty to tbe country, and because he further knew that he had the support of the friends of law and order in all parts 01 uer majestys aominions. ine cabinet were as sociated with Mr. Balfour, and rhey were solid with him in the policy he was carrying out.

They had no desire to put aown treeoom ot speech, but they must suppress crime and speeches which encouraged it. The Scotch university undergraduates have now fixed upon their candidates for the approaching rectorial elections. It is significant that in Edinburgh, the stronghold of Glads to nism so far as Parliamentary voters are concerned, it has been thought prudent not to run a Liberal candidate at all. The university, for which Mr. Gladstone was twice elected Lord Rector, is to return a Conservative, Lord Lothian unopposed.

At Lord Rosebery (who has been Lord Rector of Edinburgh and Aberdeen Universities already) is tbe Liberal candidate, and he will be opposed by Lord Lytton and Mr. Max Muller, tbe latter standing as an Independent. Tbe four Scotch universities are at present represented in Parliament by two Conservatives. Lord Randolph Cburchilh, addressing a Conservative meeting at Sunderland, on Thursday night, denied Mr. Gladstone any monoply of the reforms in parliamentary registration, transfer of land, local government, or temperance legislation, and pointed out that nothing was to be hoped for on those subjects till Mr.

Gladstone had dissolved the Union between Great Britian and Ireland; denounced as immoral Mr. Gladstone's proffers with regard to the Disestablishment of the Church, and said that the Unionist party were prepared to legislate immediately on domestic subjects which Mr. Gladstone would delay. He besought the people of Britain to insist on Mr. Gladstone declaring fully what he would do with power before they placed it in his hands, and not to listen to sentiment about the rights of nationalities, but to maintain the unity and renown of tbe Empire.

Mr. Gladstone on Tuesday afternoon attended tbe annual meeting of the National Liberal Federation, at Nottingham. In tbe course of a speech entirely devoted to tiie consideration of the Irish question, he said the spectacle which Ireland now presented under Government coercion was one for grave reflection. It was certain that should tbe present policy be continued, the country would become politically demoralised, and the question rendered more difficult than ever of settlement. He denied that he had ever proposed the Home Rule policy simply in tbe interests of the Liberal party.

If what be asked for was a statutory Parliament in Ireland subject to Imperial control, there was nothing to prevent any reasonable man from joining them, without reference to this or that particular detail. There was only one word by which he could describe the proceedings of the Administration, and that was impertinence. He finally asserted that the Irish Administration would have to be radically reformed, root and branch. Addressing a great meeting in the Rink, Nottingham, on Wednesday evening, Mr. Gladstone said the paralysis of Parliament rendered it hopeless to deal with tbe arrears of legislation until there had been a total reversal of our policy in Ireland.

Anticipating at no distant time a triumnhant settlement of the Irish Ques tion, he proceeded to indicate the task that would then ran upon the Liberal party. In tbe front rank of legislative urgency he placed the reform of our Parliamentary registration, based on the principle of one man, one vote land legislation to sweep away the entail, and establish free trade in land the reform of local government by introducing tbe representative system into counties and readjusting taxation the Liquor Laws end Disestablishment in Scotland and Wales, which he considered ripe for decision. Turning to the. Irish question, be declined to bind himself to all tbe principal enactments that might be contained in any future bill but be would not stand in the way of any settlement of tbe controversy that was not a fraud upon the people, that had tbe acceptance of Ireland, and that neglected no Just claim of the minority, though he would not pledge himself on the question of Ulster. sir.

Gladstone, this week, took a very roundabout route on his journey from Nortlienden to Nottingham but this is explained by his having been tbe guest of the chairman of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, who has much too magnificent a way of doing things to permit Mr. Gladstone to travel other than in a special train over his own line. If it had been necessary, in order to make the journey over none but Sir Edward Watkm's own railways, to take Mr. Gladstone to Nottingham via the South-Eastern, the Metropolitan, the Grand Trunk of Canada, and tbe Channel Tunnel that is to be. Sir Edward would have done it.

Besides, tbe longer distance bad its advantages in providing a greater number of stopping places. It was decidedly advantageous to be able to make two speeches at Wherleld, one Prom each side of the carriage nod it was pleasant 'to say a few words at Newark, which gave Mr. Gladstone hie entrance into public life Mr. Gladstone received a deputation of Irish inhabitants at Notingbarn, on Triursdav, before leaving for Derby, and expressed his behef that the Protestant people of Ireland would yet see the advantage of Home Rule.

Three thousand people witnessed this match at Stoke, on Monday, in which the home team were very badly represented, four juniors playing in the eleven. Burnley won the toss, and, playing with the wind, after a quarter of an hour's play scored first goal. The visitors con tinued to press, but were unable to score again. During the latter part of the first half Stoke played up, and, showing great dash, equalised, Shutt doing the needful. In the second half Stoke played op well and soon got a corner, but nothing resulted, though they soon put in another good shot, and another ojmer resulted, which, though splendidly dropped.

proved abortive. Tbe game continued fast and exciting, several good runs taking place. Stoke made a good run on the right, and Ballham shot wide. Both teams continued to play with great spirit. Bdee put in a good shot for Stoke, but the ball just went behind.

by the home team, with the ground in their favour but the wind against them. The visitors were the first to attack, but quickly the Olympians were at the other end, and Oariile, with a good shot, hit the cross-bar. A corner then fell to each side. Hothersall, after a pretty run, passed the ball to Costiey, who, with a capital shot, scored the first goal after about seven or eight minutes' play. The Roadsters now began to play up much bettor, but Mackereth, when be had a grand epening, failed to turn it to account.

When the game was shout 20 minutes old Pomf ret equalised the game with a stinger. Although the game was hotly contested by both sides no further score was made, when toe whittle blew for the interval. On resumption, the Light Blues gained an unproductive corner, after which the Roadsters made a dash to the other end. only, however, to be pulled up by the backs. Then the Olympians got to the other end, where a hot one from Fielding was stopped by Lee, but before he could get it away Carlile was upon him, sxd put the ball through.

Not long after, this player scored goal number three by a long shot. Bach goal were now in turn visited, and many good runs by both seta of forwards were neatly nipped in the bud.

Burnley at length assumed tbe offensive, and Friel made two good shots at goal, which nearly took effect. The assault was still keot ud. and the home team were onoe or twice within an ace of scoring. aaouonneii was now called upon to save, and from the throw in the Burnley forwards raced down the field and again made a good try at goal getting. Darwen new bad atvok In, bun the backs were too strong for them, and the home forwards getting on the hall, Friel scored for Burnley.

The visitors now tried to equalise, but Burnley, assuming the offensive, were leading by two goals to nil at half-time. In the second half Burnley commenced to attack, and their opponents' citadel was at times in danger, shot after shot being sent hi, and at length Fetteridge scored. The home forwards hit the posts time after time, but eould not get tbe ball through. Burnley won by four goals to nil. Aocrisqton y.

Ross end ale. At Accrington on Saturday, before 2.000 spectators. Accrington kicked off, and the visitors were early in the track of the home goal, Home being troubled. The home left replied in a dribble, which ended in Fecitt aiming over, and a corner falling to the Beds later on ought to have been improved upon. The Valleyites showed pluck unlimited, and for a space of ten minutes McLennan and Stevenson were busily employed, hut bad shooting by the opposing forwards failed them after many an invasion.

Eventually the Reds shook themselves up, a lot of work being put in by Chippendale and Bryce, and after several unsuccessful attempts Loft-house shot through, a claim by the visitors falling to stand. Five minutes later Chippendale' took a free kick. Loftbouse just failed by a neat overhead kick, but Bonner rushing up got a second past Home. Bryce was again to the fore with a long one, which Taylor negotiated, and a rush by the Rossendale front landed them at the other end, where McLennan only just cleared. Lofthouse got up by a timely pass by Bonner, and a third goal resulted from a capital middle by the former, Tates having the credit of this.

Rossendale, however, braved the reverses spiritedly, and a fine attempt by Weir just topped the Accrington bar. At half-time Accrington were leading by four to nil. After tbe re-start the Beds pressed again, sjud Conway just headed wide. Fecitt put in a steamer, and Taylor only just got away another attempt by the Accrington centre. Then the leather just skimmed the post at the other end, and Heme was called upon.

The Beds, however, had all tbe play, and Wilkinson and Bonner were very near. Taylor repelled a shot when a yard through, and no score was allowed, but Conway shot a fifth without doubt, and a little later Lofthouse ran up the half dosen. Towards the end of the game it was a mere matter of usilade on the Rossendale goal. Fecitt got four goals in succession, thus rattling up double figures, and Conway put on the eleventh, by which number to nil Rossendale were defeated.

Horafall started the ball at 3.30. when the Rovers ran down, but Shorrock transferred, when Hareanape received a corner, passed the ball to Turner, who headed the ball through the home goal two minutes from the start. On resuming play Witton just missed scoring. The Rovers, however, played well, and pressed the visitors for a few minutes.

Witton received a fro i ties corner. Prom a throw in by the Koversthey shot over toe bar immediately afterwards the Wittoniaas had hard linee for a goal. Hareanape and unmsnaw, wim me rest i of tbe forwards, made a combined run, but Hargreaves, playing a grand game, returned the hall the visitors, however, gained another comer, but resulted in nothing. The home team now had a look in, but the visitors' backs were too good. Not to be denied, however, the Rovers dashed down the field, Wilson just saving in time.

Shorrock, one of the Witton backs, got hurt, but resumed play directlv afterwards. Both teams now began to play hard, the game being even for a short time until the Witton lads, with one of their well-known runs, enabled Turner to score their second goal. Oswaldtwistle immediately gained a fruitless corner, anu seeping wo pn 1 up for a time, troubled Wilson, who, however, kept them out in fine style, but was immediately afterwards beaten by Oswald -twirtle for tbe first time.

This point fairly put fresh spirit in both teams, and some exciting play was witnessed. Hands for the home team in front of goal, was seat I past. Oswaldtwistle now played a rough game.

Pickup, being i severely kicked, had to leave the field, Witton being left with tea men. and twenty minutes to play. The game, however. resulted a victory for the Wittonians by four goala to three. Blacerorn Rovers v.

On Saturday morning, before tbe Croydon Bench, tbe application was renewed for a dramatic license for tne Crystal Palace, and refused by tbe Bench, in consequence of tbe unsatisfactory condition of tbe exit. Tbe Marquis of Ripon presided on Saturday at a conference and a public neeting held at Hebden Bridge in connection with tbe north-western section of the Co-operative Union. Adverting to the great subject of discussion for the next congress. Lord Ripon strongly advocated the sharing of the profits amongst the workers, whose claim was, he said, primary to that of tbe consumer.

Co-operative institutions were established to afford the working classes means to make tbe most of their labour, and at the same time to give them a very valuable industrial training. If those moral ends were lost sight of in tbe movement it must inevitably fail to attain tbe objects with which it was started, and would deserve to fall under the censures which had been directed against it by the Socialist party in London. Mr. E. Sta hope, was the principal speaker at a Conservative meeting held on Monday evening at Wigan.

In responding to a resolution of confidence in the present Ministry, he said the recent failure of prosecutions in Ireland need not give apprehensions to even the weakest-hearted Unionist. Nor was there any cause for surprise. There were three matters in particular which gave the Government the greatest possible encouragement. These were first, the able, patriotic, and, in many respects, absolutely unanswerable speeches recently delivered Ireland by Mr. Chamberlain secondly, the increasing tie between the Conservatives and the Liberal Unionists; and, thirdly, encouragement was to be found in the real progress they were making in Ireland.

The Government were determined that they would uphold the reign of law and order in Ireland. Meetings of suppressed branches of the National League were held various parts of Ireland on Sunday. One at Kildysart, in county Clare, over which the parish priest presided, was visited by several police officers, who informed the promoters that the assembly was an illegal one. Answer was made that the police would not be allowed to interfere with the business. Asked if it was a meeting of the National League, the chairman said be should decline to answer the question.

I is," he said, a meeting anyhow, and we intend to hold it." Tbe chief of the ponce party called upon those present to disperse. They refused to do so, however, and be left the room declaring that tbe meeting was altogether illegal." Business was then proceeded with Some of the Conservative organs in London and Dublin are greatly annoyed at the successful meeting at Woodford on Sunday, and the Standard demands tbe imns diate prosecution of Mr O'Brien and his friends who took part in the proceedings. A deputation from a crowd of unemployed, who had been dfensahsg their troubles in Trafalgar-square, called at the London Mansion- house on Monday to seek an interview with the Lord Moyor In his Lordship's absence. Alderman Sir Henry Knight listened to their suggestions for the relief of distress. He then told them that no good could be achieved by their black flag meetings and processions.

He himself was in the midst of one of these processions tbe otber day, and he could unhesitatingly say tnas tne uuia 01 uuuar woo nw pmu tnem were raAdrers. loafers, and blackguarda The Alderman pointed out that the poor-law system existed for the relief of distress, and said that they were utterly wrong if tley thought it was the duty of the State to find work for the unemployed. When the deputation reported" to their lij litiwnts in Trafalgar-square much indignation was uissntirt snrt a large mob started for the city uttering denunciations igsitnT lass Lord Mayor.

There is now in the Vienna prison hospital 4 Russian Nihilist who is accused of having taken an active part in the murder of tbe late Emperor Alexander. He will shortly be delivered up to Russia.

An attempt has been made in Arkansas to wreck the train in which the President and Mrs. Cleveland were travelling.

The driver of the pilot engine which was in advance of the train discovered that a wooden bridge on the line had been set on fire in several places. Zululand is again reported to be in a condition which causes some uneasiness to tbe authorities in Natal. The well-known chief Dinixuhi is although he has been told that, as a British subject, he ought to obey Brrtish law. Three troops of dragoons are under orders ior iuiuiauu. Measles have broken out in the King of Denmark's palace at Predensborg, and more than one of the chil-, dren of the Cxar have been attacked.

The Princesses Maud and Louise of Wales have taken the complaint and with them the Czare witch and Prince George of Greece but their attacks are not virulent. Stanley Falls are to be reconquered from the Arabs by an armed force, and the expedition, which will reach the Falls about the beginning of February, is to be commanded by a Captain of the Belgian army, and will be composed of Bangalas and Houssas. Tbe Government of the Congo State will organise tbe expedition. The Encash residents at present in Paris number about 13,000, as compared with 11,000 five years ago and 40,000 fifty years ago. Tbe decrease is owing to changes of constitution and government, the absence of a court, the Franco-Prussian war, the greatly increased cost of living, tbe constantly growing facilities for reaching other places, and tbe long prevalence of bad trade.

The Duchess d'Alencon, who, it may be remembered, lost her reason a few months ago, and who was confined in a lunatic asylum at Grata, near Vienna, has now completely recovered, in consequence of the quiet and retired life she has enjoyed. She has now joined her family at Meran. The Princess was at one time engaged to the late unfortunate King of Bavaria. The health of the Crown Prince of Germany continues to progress favourably, with the promise of ultimate though slow recovery. Some of the German papers still give expression to a considerable amount of jealousy with reference to the Crown Prince, and desire that the treatment of his Imperial Highness should be exclusively entrusted to German hands.

A just and dignified rebuke, however, is administered to these jealous organs by an influential Berlin paper. Lady doctors in the North-West of India and Oude are coming prominently into notice. Nearly 72,000 cases were treated at eleven missionary dispensaries, and 11,000 women sought relief at Mrs. Wilson's dispensary at Agra 10,850 women and children were treated at the Thomason dispensary at Agra. The lady doctor in charge performed successfully some very important surgical operations.

General Boulanger having assumed the entire respon-sihility for the remarks attributed to him bv an inter viewer namely, that the Caffarel scandal had been got up as a means of damaging him General Perron has placed him in close arrest for 30 days. He remains shut up in bis apartment, living alone with his wife and two daughters, and receiving absolutely no one. Another General has taken over the command of the Thirteenth Army corps during tbe detention of General Boulanffer.

Much pauperism is reported to prevail in several parts of Montenegro owing to the bad harvest, and this produced a considerable Montenegrin emigration into Servia. Tbe emigrants, were, however, sent back by the Servian authorities, and they were obliged to return to their former hemes in a state of great destitution.

There seems to have been a hitch in Mrs. Lamrtrv's naturalisation in America.

From interesting letters winch have been received by Sir Walter Bartteaot from his son with the Emin Pasha relief expedition, it would appear that Tippoo Tib is not unlikely to give trouble. This is serious, seeing that Tippoo practically holds all the country over which the expedition is now spread, and has close upon 4,000 armed men under his command. Treachery on the part of Tippoo Tib would, indeed, be fatal to the expedition.

Amongst the Park Road forwards Mackereth was not seen at his best, and missed two easy chances of scoring Pom fret, Fish, and Slater, worked hard, and the same may be said of the back division. Lee defended his charge well, and could not be blamed for any of the goals scored. All of our Blackburn clubs still remain in the fight for the national trophy. Park Road a fortnight ago played their tie in the first round with Belfast Distillery on the Audley ground, and won after a most exciting finish by two goals to one. The Irishmen, however, made a pro test that Walmsley, who played in the front division of the home eleven, was not a qualified player, and this was sustained at a committee meeting of tbe Football Association on Tuesday evening.

As a consequence tbe game was ordered to be re-played to-day (Saturday) at Belfast, and the Roadsters are confident of victory. The Rovers simply ran away with Bury, and Witton, after a desperate fight with their old antagonists, Oswald twistle Rovers, passed into the second round. The Blackburn Olympic were awarded a bye. The draws for the next rounds is sure to furnish some well con tested games. If Park Road are successful to-day all the Blackburn clubs, strange to say, will be drawn one with another.

The Rovers will have to meet the Olympic on the Hole-i'-th'-Wall ground, and if the latter show up as well as they did when they met the Rovers some weeks ago, it will be hard to say who will come out the win ners. The encounter between Witton and Park Koad or Belfast Distillery should prove a good one, and Darwen will have their work to do to defeat Church or Clifton-ville. Accrington, after Burnley have given the quietus to Darwen Old Wanderers to-day, will have a bard nut to crack to get one step nearer the final. The match between the Blackburn Rovers and Bury, Saturday, should have been an English cup tie, but as the latter team was composed of more than one player who was ineligible they scratched previous to going on the field, and consequently an ordinary game was contested. Tbe visitors' eleven was about tbe strongest they could get together, whilst on the other hand the Rovers had to find substitutes in Barton and Rushton, to fill the places respectively of Forrest and Chad wick, who could not put in an appearance.

The two thousand spectators who had assembled round the enclosure no doubt thought they would have the pleasure of witnessing a well fought game, judging from the physique of the Bury men, but they were sadly disappointed, as almost from the very start to the conclusion matters were very one-sided, the visitors being entirely unable to cope with the quick dodgy passing of the home forwards. Notwithstanding the fact that tbe Rovers did all the pressing, some fifteen minutes elapsed before Townley, from a well judged centre by Beresford, sent the ball flying past Wolstenholme. Having now begun they were not long before they made several additions. Townley again put tbe ball under the crossbar, but a claim for off side was sustained. This had, hovfwr, only tbe Foet of making the home team ptey up with renewed determination, and when the half-time whistle sounded they were leading by five goals to none.

The second half was even more one-sided than the first. The Bury men were made to face their goal whilst the Blackburn lads were peppering away at Wolstenholme in the most delightful fashion, with the result that when the game was concluded the score read Rovers 10, Bury 0. For the winners the forwards played a grand passing game if we except the selfishness of Townley, which characterised bis play for about ten minutes at the commencement. Their passing was accurate and their shooting very creditable. The halves acquitted themselves well, Barton, indeed, deserving much praise, i ne backs, as usual, were all there, but Arthur had nothing to do, and therefore had not the opportunity given him of shining.

For the vanquished, suffice it to say that the only players who are worthy of praise were Wolstenholme in goal, and Maltaas, an old Sheffield Wednesday player at half-back. Tbe latter played a good game, tackling and kicking in his well-known style. In magnificent football weather the third round of the Scottish Cup competition was decided last Saturday. -The Cup-holders (Edinburgh Hibernians) and Heart of Midlothian played a drawn game of a goal each at Tynecastle. Queen's Park put out; Jamestown by 8 goals to 0 Vale of Leven overcame Airdrieonians by a similar score Port-Glasgow Athletic succumbed to Ayr by 4 goals to 0 Northern was disposed of by Albion Rovers by 4 goals to 3 Renton conquered Camekvn by 8 goals to 0 Cowlairs beat Campsie by 8 goals to 1 Abercom bad the better of Eilbirnie by 3 goals to 1, and St.
