From various parts the country we receive reports of a heavy gale, which prevailed with greater or less severity on Saturday and yesterday. On Saturday afternoon, at Leamington, it reached the violence of a hurricane.

The result was that the lantern tower of the Parish Church was blown down, and the railway station was partly unroofed. A signal-post snapped off close to the ground, falling across the line. The telegraph wires suffered considerably. The hurricane only lasted two or three minutes, and no personal injuries are reported. From Folkestone we learn that the passenger boat from Boulogne was obliged to go to Dover to land her passengers.

At Brighton the wind blew with terrific force the breakers burst over the pier, and Beveral shops FOOTBALL. SHEFFIELD EXCHANGE v. BIRMINGHAM. DEFEAT OF THE BIRMINGHAM CLUB. (From our own Reporter.) The contest between the Birmingham and the Sheffield Exchange clubs, for the silver challenge cup, offered for competition by the Sheffield Football Association to tbe various clubs belonging 'to the Association, took place at the Aston Lower Grounds, near Birmingham, on Saturday.

The teams were as follow Exchange. Messrs. W. Hunter, W. Orton, A.

Rams-den, G. B. Marples, G. Anthony (captain), and J. Hoaseley, forwards; J.

Sharp and J. Hanson, halfbacks; T. Buttery and W. H. Booker, backs; and H.

Barker, goal. Birmingham. Messrs. W. Harvey.

J. R. Riddell, F. Bill, E. Davis, H.

H. Webster (captain), and W. J. Nicholls, forwards; W. Wilkinson and H.

Stokes, half-backs; E. Pears and Captain Brindley, backs; and C. H. Quilter, goal. The weather in the early part of the day was remarkably hne, but at noon rain fell heavily for some time and, thoroughly saturated the ground, which consequently played heavy.

Fortunately it ceased about half an nour before the time announced for the ball to be kicked off, and at ten minutes after three o'clock the match commenced. Sheffield, who won the toss, deputed Birmingham to kick off. Shortly after the ball had been started by Bill on behalf of Birmingham, it was evident that owing to a strong wind blowing against them the Birmingham team would have no little difficulty in securing goals. For a long time they were compelled to act chiefly on the defensive, tiieir goal being greatly eopardised and keeping Quilter pretty well occupied. Several good kicks were made by him, but the bail was speedily returned to his quarters through some exceedingly hne play on the part of Booker and Orton, the latter mak ng a capital shot at the goal.

Ramsden, to whom a chance was afterwards given, sent the ball flying in the direction of the Birmingham goal, where it was neatly stopped by Quilter. Captains Brindley and Bill, in their respective positions, at this time displayed seine vigorous and spirited play. Orton, who shortly after came into possession of the ball, ran it in a clever manner, but was unsuccessful in landing it between the goai post3. Similar play was shown by Davis (Birmingham), who caused Barker (Exchange goai) and the backs to be on the alert. "Very little struggling took place near the Exchanga goal, the ball being easily returned to Quilter and his supporters, and in this the play of Marples was all that could be desired.

Some elose struggling now took plaea, in which Ramsden, Bill, and Riddell figured very prominently, the latter being the means of getting the ball once mora in the neighbourhood of his opponent's goal, where his progress was checked byThcrpe. The prospects of Birmingham did not improve as the game continued, it being clearly apparent that they were lacking the skill of "passing'' the ball which was so neatly managed by their opponents. Play had been on about half-an-hour when the rain came down in torrents and lasted nearly a quarter of an hour, during which numerous assaults were male on the Birmingham goal. At 3.45 foul" was called, but the umpire was heard to order play on," and almost immediately, from a clever kick by Houseley, the first goal was secured for the Exchange. The foul was still claimed, but the result was given in favour of Houseley's friends.

A fine kick from the Shefnelders now sent the ball uncomfortably near Quitter's goal, from whence for a considerable time the Birmingham men faiied to move it. Half-time was called about five minutes to four, the rain still falling heavily. As soon as the ball was sent spinning it was well followed by Bill, who still continued to exhibit some exceedingly fine play. The goal of the Bi rmingham team was ag 1 in great danger, the ball passing near to the post. A kick from Wilkinson subsequently sent the ball over.

A struggle afterwards ensued, in which the Sheffield team appeared to have it pretty well itg own way, and the ball was sent over the goal by Orton. Some fine play was then witnessed in close proximity to the goal, one of the posts being struck by a kick from Marp.es. Both sides seemed to have put on a spurt, and a magnificent struggle shortly afterwards took place at the Birmingham goal, in which Marples' playing was much admired, as was also a capital run by Houseley. The ball having come into the possession of Riddell, he succeeded iu running it rather close to his opponents' goal, being very well supported by the Birmingham men. Bill, who was particularly active, gave a hearty kick, but sent the ball on one side of the goal.

No erl'orfe were spared by the Exchange men to remove the ball from this part of the ground, and in their attempt they proved successful. From the centre the ball was splendidly guided by Marples, who obtained the second goal. For this result he was loudly applauded. Within five minutes the third goal was secured for Exchange, chiefly through the instrumentality of Ramsden and Orton, the latter of whom gave the lucky kick. Harvey and Riddell managed to secure the bail, and ran it pretty close to their opponents' goal, being well followed up by the Birmingham men.

The Sheffield backs, however, "were at home," and speedily checked what then appeared the most favourable chance of obtaining a goal that Birmingham had secured during the afternoon. During the remainder of the contest Marples sent the ball over the goal, and at twenty minutes to five o'clock time was calied, Sheffield being victorious by threo goals to nothing. It is only iair to state that the Birmingham men played under a disadvantage, as the wind at the outset was strongly against them and did not cease until half-time was called. The heaviness of the ground seemed to suit the Exchange team more favourably than their opponents, who appeared greatly distressed. Marples, Hunter, Orton, and Anthony played exceedingly well during the afternoon; in fact, too much praise cannot be given to the whole team.

Of the Birmingham men, Bill, Quilter, Riddell, and Harvey acquitted themselves in a very praiseworthy manner. The umpires were Messrs. W. T. Hill and Skinner.

Mr. W. Peirce Dix acted as referee. The teams dined together in the evening at the Holte Hotel, the Exchange men and their friends who witnessed the match returning home about one o'clock yesterday morning. 4 latestcommekcia iislioNEY market7 AND latest pbices after official hours.

Clegg and Dix, I submit that tbe explanation of the off-side rule given in to-day's Independent is erroneous. The rule provides that when a player kicks the ball, any of the same side who is then nearer to the opponent's goal line is out of play, until the bail has been played; clearly, then, under this rule, the act of the goal-keeper (or any one eise; in playing the ball brings the off-side player in play again. If there be any reason against a player who us oa'side stationing himself in front of the ball it is that he thereby prevents some one else from playing it, though this seems doubtful otherwise there is' nothing in the rule hinder him taking whatever position he pleases.

ATTERCLLFFE ZIuN v. NOTTLNGHAM TEMPLARS. A match between the above clubs was played on the Darnall cricket ground on Saturday. Nottingham won the toss, and about 3.30 the bail was kicked off. Owing to the recent wet weather tue ground was in dreadful condition, and spills were very numtrous.

The play at hrst was anything but good, as the players founu it difficult to keep on tueir icet, but in a while each side warmed to their work, and Some good play was shown, Johnson and Turner for Notung-Uam, and J. Johnson, A. Jackson, and J. Gardiner for Zion, showing to the iront some good runs. Just before naif-time it seeded certain that Zion would score, as the ball was kept well 111 iront oi their opponents' and was once a.most through, but it was just beaten back in time by the goal-keeper.

Nottingham had also a shot at goal, but it was easily put back again into the middle of the held. was now called, and directly after the change of enus two good shots were made at tue Nottingham goal by J. Coop, but they were unsuccessful, anautW Zion seemed to have the best of the play, as they kept the sphere well in their opponents' half 01 ueid, although it was once or twice taken up the rioid by v.ucl Hill for Nottingham, and tLey then had another shot at the goal. About quarter of an hoair be lore time, wiien tne ball had been taken into the Zion lines, it was kicked outside the boundary, and some of tne Zion players ceased play, but the ball was brought forward ior Nottingham and put through the post, and they claimed a goal, but as the ball had been out of bounds the umpire disallowed the goal, and then at the request of C. id.

Brown the Nottingham players refused to continue the game, and the match thus ended in a draw. The Attercliffe men wanted to go on and finish tho match, but the Nottingham players would not do so, and thus tho match ended rather unpleasantly. For Nottingham, the play oi Messrs. J. Johnson, J.

Hemm, and J. P. Turner was very good; whilst Messrs. A. Jackson, J.

Nesvscme, 01 Vorksniio, the conditions being that the Mexican should ride a mustang, ana Newsome an English thoroughbred, to do tue greatest distance in filty hours, for 500 a side and a cup. The Society for tho Pie.eutiou of Cruelty to Ammals were careful that the quadrupeds should not be taxed beyond their strength, and sent their oilicers to watch the proceedings. 'i'uo was made at 9.12 p.m. on Thursday, Leon bestriding Tom, a dark brown mustang, fifteen hands high, seven years old, with a white lace and four white stockings, and Newsome on Telegram, an Irish-bred ches-nut horse by Thunderbolt butty, eight years old, fifteen hands two inches bigh. A good tun course of seven times to the roxle was laid down, and the start was made at 9.12 p.m.

Leon went oh with an easy canter, but Newsome was forty yards in front 'at the end of the first mile. As the end of an hour New-some's horse had covered ten ruiies 120 yards, and Leon 250 yards less, but at the end of tho second hour nineteen miles and two laps woro scored to the Mexican horseman. At l.i'1-17 a.m. had made thirty miles, when he stopped, and his example was followed by Newsome, who had done a like uistance. The match was resumed on Friday morning at nine o'clock, the contrast in tne quadrupeds wn-s very noticeable, as the mustang went steadny to work, but Telegram had a decided aversion to pus, the lccse box in which he had 1 een stabled, anu.

anally could scarcely bo induced to go 100 yards without w.uoohug round, in spite of the gentle remoustran- of his his distance being seventy-five hi.Ils at o.i.i.U p.m. An officer of the Society ior the Preveutm Cruelty to Animals then stopped his going further, but the horse was in splendid condition, and it was purely temper. Newsome then leil l-acii on Leopold, a dark bay, bred by Sir Clifford Cwiiatable, and regularly hunted with the Queen's ttughoumis, who proved more tractable; and when Leon leit od at m.dnight he left 112 miles on the score-sheet. Newsome persevered for some time after, tiii ho was within a miie of his opponent, when he gave in. About half-past five 011 Saturday when tiiev got on their way again, the judgment of the Mexican and the plodding style of the mustang proved too much ior Newsoine'3 second horse, and about haif-past eight the Yorkshire jockey elected to return to Tciegram with a further penalty of fifteen miles, and the thoroughbred, still indignant, began by pitching his rider over hi3 head.

Leon meanwhile sailed away, lighting a cigarette, and adding a mile or two to his score, till 8.45-10, when he retired to give the mustang a rest lor the final effort. On coming out again the two veterinary surgeons gave it as tueir opinion that ueithcrof the hordes was fit to travel again, and Mr. Coiam, the secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, objected to their being brought oa again. Great dissatisfaction was expressed by the multitude assembled, but after a short time they dispersed ouietly. LOCAL SPOUTING.

Hcte Park. Notwithstanding the fact that the weather proved most unpleasant in thisdistrict on Saturday, there was a very good muster of spectators at Mr. ilaigh's grounds on the occasion of a pigeon shooting match and rabbit legerto which the proprietor added a sov. The match was first decided, and lay between a locai man named J. Green and H.

Lowe, of Brightside, who contested the best at ten birds ench, with loz. oi shot, 21 yards rise and BO fali, for 10 a side. What little bcttiug took place on tho result was transacted at evens. Lowe, if anything, having most Iriends. Both parties found, and trapped against each other, and ultimately, after shooting at moderate birds, Lowe won as shown in appended score: Lowell 1010101, total 6 in Green, 1 II 00 i 000, 4 in 9.

On Saturday afternoon at these grounds about SCO persons paid at the doors to witness the preliminary hcat3 of an ail-England one mile handicap, tor which prizes amounting to 10 are given by tbe Messrs. J. L'undow and Co. Wnen the affair was advertised 114 aspirants to winning honours seat in their names, and of this lot only 65 failed to accept, the remainder being arranged in nine heats. As customary at the opening of these events, speculation was very tame at 5 to 1 on the held.

The course was in very fair order, but tho running showed a many not to be trvinp, and mention should be made to the taird heat, which, although failing to the lot of Able, might easily have been won by the Walkley representative "Waller, had the latter so willed. Mr. B. Garnett wa3 starter, Mr. J.

A Convict's Stout. At the Manchester Winter Assizes, William Elias Burton, a returned, convict, was sentenced by Mr. Justice Lush for burglary.

The prisoner had recently been in the employ of the London and North Western Railway Company, and when he was found guilty last week ho stated that his endeavour to obtain an honest living had been frustrated by certain railway officials aud the police, who persistently hunted him about," and got him dismissed from his employment. His Lordship deferred sentence and in the meantime two of the officials directly referred to by the prisoner attended before the court, and denied upen oath the truth of'his allegations. Mr. Justice Lush said he entirely disbelieved the prisoner's story, and sentenced him to ten years' penal servitude. English ingt f.o.b 76 brs, f.o.b 77 refined 78 Australian.

Copper. Un Tuesday, the Australian sales of Wallaroo and copper were held at the Baltic, and the average price realised for the Wallaroo cake was 74. 4s. and the ingots at 74. 2s.

and the xJurra cake sold at an average of xlS. os. and the ingots at 73. 13s. 6d.

The result was considered somewhat remarkable. Chili bars to-day are quoted at 64. 10s. for g.o.b., and Australian is steady at about the sale terms and conditions. Iron.

The advance of 2s. 6d. to 5s. per ton in Welsh bar has been maintained, and further orders continue to be placed at 5. 17s.

6d. to 6 per ton. This improvement is confined solely to Welsh iron, but we fear that it will only prove a temporary advantage, not that the price is exorbitantly nigh, or that buyers object to it on these grounds, but simply on account of foreign iron ruling so much below it. The quotations for Belgian are not any better, but, on the other hand, slightly lower, and nail-rods are now quoted as low as 5. 4s.

less 21 f.o.b., Antwerp. We would again urge masters and men to thoroughly ascertain how it is that iron can be sold cheaper abroad than what it can be produced here, and if it is at all possible to effect the necessary change to do so at once, before it is too late. Something must be done before long, or we shall lose our trade altogether, and simply because it wants looking into and remodeling, and no one will take the trouble to move in the matter. Makers go plodding on in the same old-fashioned style, and leave things to take their own course, which will end veiy soon by the trade leaving them. It certainly seems marvellous that enterprising little Belgium should be able to compete with us successfully in one of the principal commodities of our country, and that we are powerless and incapable of retrieving our lost position.

It really seems most absurd and ridiculous, but it is a fact nevertheless. Our mutual goad neighbour and all honour to our Belgian brethren has eclipsed the Englishman, and with all our past experience we shall yet have to cross the water to learn a lesson in iron-making. If Belgian nail-rods or bars can be sold at a near port of shipment we should like to know how it is that the lowest quality that can be made in England cannot be bought below 5. 15s. or at least 10s.

per ton above Belgian Is it a question of wages only which enables the Belgian ironmaster to undersell us In that case the English workman ought to know it, and he would be better satisfied with what he gets, and, perhaps, to obtain increased employment he might be disposed to submit to a lower scale than at present; or, if he is so very unreasonable as to decline to submit, foreign labour will have to be imported, for we cannot to lose our trade on that account but if, on the other hand, the difference in the terms of labour iB so trifling that it does not affect the price, then what other reason is to be given? Capital can be furnished in abundance here, therefore it is not a question of means, and it would seem to rest either in the expense of mining, or the cost of smelting, or the mode of manufacture. We trust for their own sakes, as well as for the sake of a very large class of Englishmen who are associated with the iron trade in its various branches, that no effort will be wanting on their part in bringing the price to a level with that of Belgium, or any other country, and that our producers will not be content to stay here, but so continue to reorganise the whole system that instead of raising iron at a loss it may be turned out at a very fair amount of remuneration.

On the other hand, the rise is a great loss to manufacturers, consumers, and shippers, and we sincerely sympathise with them on the turn which the market has taken against them.

Mining Journal. TERRIBLE GALE AT SEA. THREE LIVES LOST. The severe weather reoently prevailing has been productive of serious disasters to shipping. The captain of the Blackwell, from Saguenay, North America, arrived at Liverpool, reports a terrific gale on the 27th Oct.

Wnen at its height on that day, the cabin in which were his wife and two burst in by the waves. The cabin and its contents were smashed, and his wife had one of her legs broken, and one child had both its legs broken. Three men G. Macdonald, boatswain, S. D.

Willis, and Wm. Preston, seamen were washed overboard and lost. The wheel was broken, and sixty feet of main rail carried away, and all thefaeck cargo had to be thrown overboard to save the ship from destruction. THE WHALING FLEET. The American papers announce the arrival at San Francisco of some of the vessels belonging to the Arctic whaling fleet.

The barque Rainbow was seen working towards Herald Island, with 400 barrels of oil and 60001bs of bone on board. The barque W. Farnsworth had on board when last reported 700 barrels of oil and 15001bs. of bone. The despatch said there was not much danger of vessels being closed in.

A SPLIT IN THE IRISH NATIONALIST CAMP. A Central News telegram states Mr. C. P. O'Sullivan, one of the Nationalist leaders in Cork, has been arrested on the oharge of writing threatening letters to Lawrence Hynes and John Rear-don.

The case is said to have arisen out of a split in the party on the occasion of the Duke of Con-naught's visit. One section proposed to get up a mob and attack the banquet hall, but the majority, amongst whom were Hynes and Reardon, refused to co-operate. A WOMAN SHOT BY A DISCARDED LOVER. Our correspondent telegraphs: On Monday night last at Birkenhead a young woman named. Elizabeth Strong residing at Tranmere, Cheshire, was shot by a man named Benjamin Howard, who became acquainted with Miss Strong during the time he lodged with the latter's aunt.

Howard also had been paying his addresses to Miss Strong, but met with no encouragement. On the night of Monday last he met the young woman at her brother-in-law's shop in Birkenhead, and deliberately fired a pistol at her, the shot lodging in her neck. Medical aid was at once called in, but of no avail, for on Friday night the women's sufferings terminated fatally. Howard is in custody. LORD NOTHBROOK ON PUBLIC TOPICS.

Lord Northbrook, speaking at a banquet at Winchester on Saturday night, said that on the burials question the House of Lords had shown itself thoroughly in accord with the country, while the discussion in the Upper House on the Eastern Question had greatly strengthened the hands of the Government in their wise determination not to take part on either side. Referring to the Indian famine, his lordship was glad to say it was now terminated. The large amount subscribed in England and her colonies would produce an effect on the minds of the natives of India which would be of the highest political advantage, He thought both the last and the present famine might be considered as purely exceptional, due to such a scarcity of grain as they might hope and expect would not be again experienced for years to come. The distance from the Russian frontier to India, and the nature of the intervening countries, made the idea of any attack upon India unworthy of serious consideration. There was, however, this danger, that Russian advances created an alarm from time to time in the bazaars of India.

This danger had been met in two ways by keeping on most friendly termB with the frontier States and by governing India justly, and so maintaining our place in the affections of the natives. This line of policy would be maintained. Attempted Suicide in a Palace. A painf ul incident occurred on the 7th inst. in Berlin.

-A man was discovered in the great hall of the imperial Palace in the act of attempting suicide, iris attempt was not successful, but; dropping down in so conspicuous a place, he attracted a number of officials and passerB by, and gave rise to a considerable commotion. He was at once removed to the Charite Hospital. No reason is known why he should have selected the palace for his rash act. He turns out to be a former soldier, with whom things have gone badly since he left the army, and who has lately been in great straits. Proposed Police Orphanage.

At a meeting of chief-constables, held last week, at Birmingham, it was resolved to promote the formation of a police orphanage for the provinces, to be called the British Police Orphanage, on a similar basis to the Metropolitan Police Orphanage. It was stated that an institution of the kind was sorely needed for the provinces, where the constables numbered 22,000 against 11,000 in the metropolis. As in London, payment of Id. per week would entitle a constable to the benefits of the institution for his children. Letters expressing a desire to co-operate were read from chief constables in Yorkshire and Lancashire and other parts of the country.

DONCASTER, Saturday. A fair average business passing on 'Change this morning, considering the season. Wheat in good supply, and the condition visibly improved. Farmers have satisfied their requirements in the way of seed, and millers have again got the trade into their hands. Sound fine samples of wheat were bought readily, being scarce are certainly no lower, but medium and inferior runs were less easy to dispose of, and scarcely realised last week's prices.

The weather is fair but cloudy. SATURDAY'S WEATHER CHART. 1 xj tins 1 REMARKS. Satueday, Nov. 10, 1877.

8 a.m. Weather remains in a very unsettled condition all over the country, although the sky is at present clear, or nearly so, at many of the southern and eastern stations. Bain is falling in the north, and a considerable quantity fell during yesterday in the we6t and south, accompanied by thunder and lightning. A severe squall from the southward passed over London at 5 a.m., with thunder, lightning, hail, and rain. Temperature has fallen a few degrees in our islands, but risen on the Continent, especially in Norway.

It is now 37deg. in the Hebrides, 42deg. to 47deg. over Scotland generally, 47deg. over England and Ireland, 52deg.

to 56deg. the Channel. Wind is moderate from west in Ireland, fresh to a gale from the southwest in the Channel, fresh southward and south-south-west in the north and east, and to a gale from south-south-east in the south of Norway. A fresh gale from the south was felt on our west and south coasts during the night. Sea is high at the mouth of the Channel, rough on our southern coasts and on the eastern shores oi the North Sea, moderate or slight elsewhere.

Barometrical Indications. A somewhat complex depression now lies over our north-western and western coasts, while readings are highest in the south of France and over the Baltic. The barometer is now rising on our south-western and southern coasts, but falling in orway. Warnings. All our coasts have been warned during the past day or two.

2 p.m. The depression in the north is now moving eastwards, and the wind is drawing round to the westward, and still blows strongly on our south-western coasts. WARNING TO COLLIERS. A study of the past week's local chart shows the weather to have been very unsettled, rapid barometrical oscillations occurring between the 6th and 8th, since which time a rapid decrease of pressure has set in, with the exception of one sudden rise occurring last night (Saturday), all night and to-day the mercury has fallen rapidly. Since the hour at which the observation for the United States was taken it has fallen at the rate of of an inch in the hour, and the reading is now lower than it has been since March, 1868; and, from the position of the wind, the depression is likely to cross the country over the north of Yorkshire but its centre has not yet reached us.

Under the present conditions it is absolutely necessary that the utmost care be used in collieries. Deputies must make the most searching inspections, gas will accumulate in goaf3 and fissures, and, although temperature is rather low, it is necessary to maintain a thorough circulation in the workings. Look well to the safety of roofs pressure has decreased in the last ten days about 150 pounds on the square foot. See that safety lamps are good working order. A defective lamp may cause an explosion, as the in-rushes of gas will be sudden.

Let the utmost care be exercised during the coming week, and let deputies remember that a great responsibility now attaches to them. Nov. 11. LORD FITZWILLIAM'8 HOUNDS. Monday, Nov.

From our Special Reporter.) This match was played at Derby, on Saturday, the Race Ground being" the scene of action. Notwithstanding the very inclement weather there were many spectators. Drenching showerB of rain had made the ground like sponge, and the players in the difficult character of mud -larks" were greatly handicapped. A cold stiff breeze flew through the coals, and was in favour of Heeley the first half and against it the second part. The rain prevented the start being made at a quarter to three as announced, but ten minutes past three saw every man moving, and the Heeley goal keeper on the qui vive.

Within the first fivo minutes there was a foul called and allowed by the umpires, and immediately afterwards the Derby men got round the ball in a clever phalanx, and although Leslie and Andrews made good play, Harvey, the best runner of the field, got in adroitly and with a straight kick scored a goal for the home team, amid great cheering. Piggott made a good deal of play next, but the ball was quickly dribbled up by the Heeley team till expectant eyes waited to see the goal reduced; but Harvey getting up to the front brought the leather down, along the edge of the course, strongty supported by Sniythe, and then shot at goal, but this was received by the Heeley goal-keeper, who was a highly serviceable player throughout. Then a long shot at the Sheffield goal brought the ball up within a few feet, but it went back again to the same spot, from which a second shot brought it to the middle of the field. Down the field again with some little running from the ubiquitous Harvey, Heeley "saving its bacon by one or two judicious back kicks from a Heeley player, who has the happy knack of this kick a very useful one, and too little used. A few minutes afterwards the Derby team ran the ball down, but a rather advantageous kick missed the goal by a yard.

On going up again, the leather pei formed rather curious antics, and made the transit several times, nearly every time getting outside the bounds. Tho Derby players stood on the vigorous defensive with a great deal of butting and jumping, but the Heeley men maintained an incessant assault on the goal, and it wa3 only after a game fight that the ball was run down to the other end. Its visit was however brief, and the ball skirted the bounds to the right, when a foul" was called. A series of noteworthy kicks by Shaw, Tomiinson, and Wignell were applauded. Hunter, Andrews, and Leslie, proved themselves equal to anything in a "scrimmage" which ensued, and Hunter, by "eclipsing" one or two for-" midable rushes, saved his team from another goal being recorded against them.

At this period the play of Cubley was excellent. Harvey soon afterwards brought the ball down into the keeper's hands; another kick directly following landed the ball again just outside the posts. Another run from Harvey ended in a precisely similar failure, and then half-time was called. Directly after play had recommenced the Heeley men, straight against the wind, brought the ball down to the Derby goal, but missed, it by three or four yards. On getting up to the other end, after a good deal of dribbling, tlie Derby team kicked over the bar twice.

After a lot of "sky rockets," Shaw "filched" the ball, andsent it straight into the arms of the goal-keeper. Tho next time the ball came down there was a great deal of small Harvey being continually to the front of the team for a run. Wignell had the bail in his own hands just after this, but he fell after placing himself fairly in position. Shaw, however, was quickiy up with the leather, but sent it outside the course. Richardson soon after made an effective demonstration, but the goal was so obstinately defended by the Heeley men that the Derby team began to despair, and there were loud and repeated callson the men.

At this stage rain again fell, and the ground got even worse but with the most indomitable pluck the Heeley men, who were by a great deal the lightest in ph3'sique, kept the ball within a comparatively limited area. It is a long time since such a game match was seen, and it looked at this stage as if it would end with the "sphere" in the middle of the field, for it wanted but a few minutes. There, however, ensued a series of "rushes," in which the ball visited each end of the field, but was in each case stopped by the "backs," who were good men on both sides. At aperiod when every one was waiting for time to be called, Harvey scored another goal for Derby and the spectators immediately swarmed over the course, and the players departed to the stand but to their surprise the umpires stated that five or six minutes had yet to intervene before the game terminated. Some of the players therefore prepared to take the field again but by this time it was growing dork, and it was decided to let it stand just as it was, Derby securing the victory by two goals to none.

Umpires: Messrs. Griffith and Herring. WEDNESDAY v. EXCHANGE BREWERY. (Cup Tie.) It was rather unfortunate for Exchange Brewery that they were drawn in the first round of the cup ties with such a strong club as the Wednesday.

Their most sanguine supporters could scarcely have anticipated victory in the match on Saturday on the ncrw Wednesday ground, at Sheaf House, but that the Brewery team were fully justified in entering the competition there cannot be two opinions, for though they were defeated by five goals to none, they possess many excellent and piucky players, who would have shown to greater advantage against ordinary opponents. Notwithstanding showery weather, a capital attendance assembled to witness the contest. Losing the toss, the Wednesday captain was agreeably surprised on his side being deputed to kick down hill. The reason for this doubtless was thi't thn uartv. possessing th heavier physique, their captain thought they would last longer; but it was bod policy nevertneless, as tho rain threatened every moment to render the ground soft to work upon, and during the last half drenching showers actually did fall.

It is not our intention to enter into details of the play. Suffice it to say that at the start the Exchange men held their antagonists very tight, and at one time appeared about to assume the command. This, however, wa3 only a flash in the pan. Gathering their forces, the Wednesday forwards swooped.
