It wts the general opinion that higher class totball had been seen on the ground since If famous match against Swansea two eeasons in which Welshmen won by a goal i The Bristol forwards did what everyone they would heeled at every inanity, end the hades to this retool treatment splendidly.

This young player had the adrantage of playing on a'Winning side Am all bis calleagnea were in form, hat with fa in mind we think he is quite the most jicnising of local footballers who have been hid this season.

Llewellyn has no special wwcal advantages to help him. hat he has psci and confidence, and. what is important, i bcwirdge of finesse. This latter quality is nre in young plavers that one hopes the cmmttee will give Llewellyn a full trial, and ifconfirms the excellent impression his play ask on Saturday, he will be just the sort of tfwequarter needed. The Richmond team plnei with fine snirit all through, and their 'crvjrds delighted everyone.

Behind the combination of an effective chancier was entirely lacking. FINE FORM. the Bath team paid a visit to Cheltenham so -jturday. The ground was not in the best woitlion owing to rain, but the match'proved Is be one of very considerable interest. Bath van ths first to give a taste of their quality, fn needy half-way through the Mahal half sort to Parfltt, who secured try by which, however, wm not rolled.

It wu not lons before a good bit of out and in paning gave Cottrell an opportunity, and three were registered. The home forwards were going to a man. and Goolding rushed through with a try neat the foal poets, which Uowa converted. Both aides put forth every effort, but the Cheltonian star was in the ascendant, and Harwand next distinguished himaelt with a well deserved try, which Unwin foaled.

Bath put on pressure for a time, but did not prevent Bum adding three more points, that Cheltenham congratulated themselves on a victory by 16 points to 3. WESTON DEFEATED. Weetan-super-Maro went nnder to Bridgwater the ground of the latter by five points. The result about indicated the character of the game, which was of a fairly even tendency, but Br.drwater played the stronger game at times.

Bristol City won their tenth League game on Saturday against Chesterfield, and gave the best displsy at Ashton Gate for aome time. There about 10,000 Spectators, and the teams were as Annan and Cottle, backs; Jones, Wedlock, and Chambers, half-backs; Bennett, Maxwell.

Gilligmn, Burton, and Hilton, forwards. goal; Marples and Baker, backs; Haig, Banner, and Thacker, half-backs; Dyal. Lunn, Taylor, Monday, and Ball, forwards, OUligan kicked off. The turf was slippery under foot the result of the recent rain. There was a free kick against the Whites in the first minuie, and Cottle transferred to Gilligan, but Dyal responded with a rush, and exciting play- followed.

Jones did brilliant work in response to a gallop by Ball and Munday, and Bennett gave Cope and the other defenders a hot time of it. Some fine passing in front of goal was enthusiastically applauded, and Gilligan and Maxwell were tricky at the critical moment, but jugt Hilton had bis chance be was pulled up for offside not more than five yards from goal. Tremendous pressure was put on the Chesterfield goal, and how they saved it was a mystery. Cope was surprised by Wedlock, and fumbled the ball. It was critical time for the goalkeeper, as he was tackled by two or three, and only by holding to the ball and defying all and sondry was be able to get clear.

The Bristol right were doing great things in combination, and right from touch Bennett foroed Cope to flat out. The half-backs were playing fariliantly, and fine work was performed by Annan Cottle. Dyal had a rush on his own, and after runningas far as tbs goal line, tamely placed outside. This try seemed to enliven the Chesterfield men, and for a few they attacked in earnest. Ball and Monday passed nicely on the left, and Lnnn and Dyal.

did some good on the right, bat they, found themselves oat-mansuvred in front of goal. The Beds got goingyagain, and passed prettily on both wings, whilst Hilton bad a clear run, and when tackled by the goalkeeper just hit the bottom of the poet, the ball going outside, but immediately on the goal kick Hilton had another chance. He passed smartly, and Maxwell rushed to take up the centre, whilst Bennett was also handy in case of emergency, and although trapped by the goalkeeper, Maxwell scored 29 minutes from the commencement. Gilligan had a try to repeat performance, but the goalkeeper rushed out and caught the ball just in time, but Bennett was on the alert, and there was another desperate tussle, which ended in the ball flying into midfield. Maxwell and Bennett a corner, but-after the ball bad come to the centre, Bennett passed wide, and Ball ran cleverly down the left, out-manoeuvring Jones, -but-finding an-obstacle in 'Wedlock.

A grand shot by Oilligan cloee in was brilliantly saved by Cope, but the Bristol centre was able to get hie chance by the work of Maxwell, who tricked finely. Cope was haring a lot of work to do. but there was no further too ring this half, Bristol leading at the interval by 1 to niL On resuming, Wedlock diverted a rush by the Chesterfield forwards when it was likely to dangerous. A long swinging run by the City forwards ended in Bennett getting his chanoe, and be scored with magnificent shot five minutes after the restart. The game became somewhat sensational, for almast immediately on the restart Luna scored, for Chesterfield, and they were still only one goal behind.

was a considerable contingent of Chesterfield men. who cheered the success lustily. The Bristol right wing soon got going again, and, playing prwtily, ran nearly half the length of the field, when they were pulled up rather tamely. The left wing followed the example and Burton shot hard, but the ball was cleared by the goal-keeper. Maxwell nearly beat Cope again, but the en dof it wis only a goal kick.

Chesterfield were causing a considerable amount of anxiety to the Bristol defence, snd every few minutes they were attacking. Clay saved from both wings. Dyal was bowled over when he had a chance of equalising, and Chambers comoletcd his discomfiture by a' smart stroke of business from a football point of riew. Twenty minutes after the resumption Maxwell scored the third goal for the City, and there were no -further goals, the winning i to -1 Whilst Chesterfield made a good fight, and well, their forwards never had manv chances of combining owing to the doggedness of the City halves. Ball and Mutiday caused the trouble, and in the-second half the Bristol defence was severely tried.

Wedlock shd Maxwell were very conspicuous, whilst Hilton made favourable impression. He was quick to centre and lively when tackled. Lunn and Dyal were not often allowed by Chambers to get going, and Jones had hie work out out to deal with the alert Chesterfield left. There was some remarkably fine combination and terrific shooting by the City forwards, and the whole game full of incident, good play, and individual brulianoe. Cottle and Annan were steady, and not easily drawn, and Clay repelled cleverly many good abots.

The City deserved to score more goals, and the determination of the Chesterfield men in the closing stages was refreshing, and might have earned them the reward of another goal. They suffered no hardship by having the 3 to 1 defeat recorded against them, but Bristolians will now feel a great deal of interest in their doings. THE WELCOME WIN. After the series of disasters the Rovers had sustained the outlook the visit to Plymouth was-none too bright. After the failure against Norwich experiments were tried in the front line, Haxton and Walker replacing Dankley and lewis.

Hales could not fill the vacancy of Appleby in the half line, so Taylor came into the team. The success was great indeed, the Rovers winning a fine game by Ihia was the first tuns they had won at Plymouth, and the result will do much to restore confidence in the district. It now appears that the Rovers have quitted their had patch, and no doubt there will be a large crowd at Eastville on Saturday, when Southampton will be the visitors. The Argyle had done none too well daring October, though not so badly as the Rovers. They mads no bones about their making great efforts to retrieve their character, and put their strongest available side in the field, Andy Clark being the only absentee of Thv teams lined up as Cartridge; Dunn and Pudan; Tail, Taylor, and Jame; Clark.

Walker. Beats, Smith, and Haxton. Plymouth: Sutcliffe; Saul and McNeil; Ueech. C. Clark, and Buchanan; Brieiclifle.

Buck, Wright, Jack, and Wilcox. AFTER THE OPENING GOAL. The Rovers had certainly the better of the game all through tha second hall, in fact, had they won by a greater margin they would have only obtained points that had been earned by honsat and good football. Perhaps Argyle missed chances in the first half, bnt on the other hand the Rovers showed a defence that the best of attack would have had the greatest difficulty in overcoming. When Argyle scored after ten play in the second half, the forwards took the bit in their teeth, and from thence onward they gave Sutcliffe and the no rope.

They drew level after some magnificent work, and drawing right away scored again and won. Prior to goal Beats and Smith had beaten Sutcliffe and netted, but the referee was undoubtedly right in pulling them up for offside. Beats was perhaps, unlucky, but Smith A DESERVED WIN. That gnae to the deserving tide is undonbted, end on this form the Hovers would beet the majority of the teems in the South. Their forwards were In splendid fettle, end though Beets did grandly, the whole line worked together with a combination that had to be seen to be believed.

forwards were also in good trim, in feet, they played right np to their best form, and only the finest of defence could have kept them out. At half the Hovers had the pull the men being fast and keen, while at full back Dunn and Fndan, as a pair, were better than the homesters. Cartlidge and Sutcliffe performed wonderfully well, but the latter spoiled his safeness by running out. ENGLISH LEAGUE. Sheffield position at the top of the tree is only a nominal one, for Aston Villa are only one point behind with a match in hand.

Wednesday lost at Stoke by on Saturday. Aston ViUa received Middlesbrough and won by Bury sustained another reverse, at Liverpool, the Anflelders winning by Bolton Wanderers received and defeated Derby County by the two points being most welcome to the Born den Park brigade. Woolwich Arsenal lost at home to Everton by and Sheffield United also lost at home, to Manchester City, who won by 3-L Wolverhampton Wanderers ran up five goals against Sunderland, their vuriors, who replied with a couple. The meeting of the local rivals, Notts County and Nous FnmcL on iho County ground, resulted in a draw cu a goal apiece. Preston North End lost by the duly goal of the match si Newcastle, sad Birmingham City lost by at Blackburn.

Tottenham did not have an easy victory at home to Swindon, the margin only being Norwich City are still going ahead, winning their third match in succession at home to New Brompton by Southampton won by at home to Queen's Park; and represented the victory of Watford over West Ham, their visitors.

Bristol for a time had rather the best of matters, and had it not been for the strong defence of Carter and Parker, the homesters would undoubtedly have been in, as Taylor and Matthews were playing a great game at this time. A corner against Northcote, quickly followed by a tree, resulted in the ball remaining in midfield. An injury to Taylor delayed the game a few minutee. On restarting Grey came away in grand style, and beat Webb with a hot ahot. Towards the close of the first half Northcote tried hard to secure an equaliser, but Yolland and Asfamead were not to he beaten, and held their own splendidly.

North cote, 0. On changing ends Northcote immediately forced a ebmer, which James saved well from Elliott. The game now became very exciting, first one eide having a momentary advantage, and then the other. The Blacks quickly returned to the other end, and Benson, taking advantage of James's temporary absence, netted an easy goal. Result: Northcote, Old Bed land Lilians v.

first match of the season was played on Saturday, and though, with one or two exceptions, perhaps, the best of the local players turned out (lacrosse does not eeem to have caught yet in other parts of the county), the game frith Essex, played on the Sea Walls plateau, was mostly of a one-sided character. The clubs from which the home Ifte; am was chosen were Merchant Venturers Old oys, Fairfield, Clifton, and Eastville. The pioneers of lacrosse in the district were the Clifton and Bristol clubs. Now there are seven, and most of them are going strong with second teams. Two new clubs, Eastvilfe and Durdfeam Down, have been started this season, and there ij but little doubt that the Canadian game is gradually gaining favour locally.

The strongest team at present is Wills's, whose proficiency in the use of the and fitness (for lacrosse, in the matter of pace, excels almost all other forms have been attained by frequent practice. One player, and the back-bone of the Bristol club, was missed from the team on Saturday, and Pragnell in his illness has the sympathy of all followers of the game. SUPERIOR SKILL OF ESSEX. A game such as that of Satnrday should have the effect of raising the standard of lacrosse locally, and it was a pity, perhaps, that club matches were not forfeited for the day, so that players could have witnessed, and, by their criticism, benefited by the display. The visitors, among whom it was a pleasure to see the veteran Hough, who has done so much to popularise lacrosse in this country, and who gave the flags for competition agnongst the local clubs, wore superior in many respects to the home team.

First of a they made the pace hot, and the game was fast from beginning to end. Their Tossing, also, was excellent, and the players supported each other well, so that there always seemed to be the right man in the right place. One other point was noticeable, that ae soon as an Essex man had the bail he was off, showing a clean pair of heelsmetaphorically, for the ground was soft and muddy. The local men. on the other hand, were apt to elaoken speed to consider who was the best man to receive the pass.

T. Davies (Wills's) captained the home team, and played a vigorous game. He was inclined, however, to do too much, and might have fed his men better. Manuel ides (M.V.0.8.) showed praiseworthy alertness; Smith (Wills's) was also quick, and scored one of the two goals, and Gane (Clifton) played a useful came, but kept too near goal. Gerickj (M.V.0.8.) should have saved some of the 12 goals.

Bayley (Eastville) scored at. the beginning of the game, but it was nut until the last quarter that Gloucestershire were rewarded with their second goal. Essex scored two in the first quarter, four in tbe second, two in the third, and four in the last. Owing to the had light, the last two quarters were only of 15 minutes Clifton v.

ANLO-PRENCH MEETING AT CAMBRIDGE. Ffhe weather favoured the international at Fenner's Ground on Saturday between Trinity College Athletic Club and the Racing Club De France.

There was a fair attendance, including the Bishop of Winchester, whose son ran for the college with success. The Frenchmen were without tbe services of Malfait, Tison. and Baget, wbo are champion performers, and suffered defeat. Trinity College winning 6 events to 3. running of Soalhat in the half-mile was very clever, and Di Fleurac showed capital style in the two miles, which he won anyhow in 10 mins.

3-5 secs. Their other victory was at the high jump, which went to Molinie, whose best effort was 5 feet 34 inches. Several notable performances were achieved by the Trinity athletes, particularly the Hon. O. W.

About seventy members, including a good proportion of ladies, sat down to an enjoyable repast. Mr Ernest Gay (captain) presided. After sapper a short toast list was gone through. The loyal toast having been proposed from the chair and duly honoured, Mr S. Young proposed Success to the Bristol Cycling in humoroas and interesting terms.

Baring the last twelve months there had been quite a number of records in connection with- the club, more records perhaps than other cycling clubs in Bristol. As they knew, a junior section of the club had been started, and it was going along at a fast rate. They had certainly scored a record in that direction. (Hear, hear.) He was extremely sorry to hear that Mr H. R.

Wansbrongh was likely to cease being their president. Mr entertained the best feelings towards the club, but he felt bound, owing to circumstances over which he had no control, to give up his position as president. Mr Wansbrough had always been a good friend to the club, and they would all be sorry to lose him. He coupled with the toast the name of Mr E. Fawcett White, hon.

secretary and treasurer. Mr White said be was pleased to know that they had had a most successful season. The large number of members who turned out on club runs was very gratifying. He was also pleased to say that the inter-club runs with the Richmond end St. Cycling Clubs were of most enjoyable character.

The strength of the Bristol Cycling Club was, roughly speaking, 300, and they bad a fair number of lady members, 72. He was pleased to say that the end of this season they would be able to show a fairly good balance in hand. (Hear, hear.) With regard to their various sections, one Of the most important waa their rifle section. Mr J. A.

Widmann afterwards proposed the toast of Mr L. Monklsy (Richmond Cycling Club), whose name waa mentioned with the toast, along with that of Mr F. R. Arecott (St. Paul Cycling Club), replied.

Other complimentary toasts fallowed. BOHEMIAN CLUB DINNEB, HOLIDAY FIXTURES. The 23rd annual dinner of the Bohemian Cricket Club was held on Saturday night at the Imperial Hotel, Clifton. Mr Goodenough Taylor presided over a large gathering, and amongst those present were the Rev. E.

HENDERSON gave Biehop and Clergy of the Diocese and Ministers of Religion." The Rev, JOHN WEBSTER replied, and said that from the earliest days the clergy and cricket had been close'ly connected. Long might that be so. (Hear, hear.) They occasionally heard tile remark at the County Ground what a ewarm of parsons are It was a good thing that this should be so, because they could not be present at the games played there too frequently. The clergy could leant valuable lessons at cricket and football they could not learn anywhere else. It gave them opportunities of mixing with men, and of getting in tonch with things which interested them, and that was a far more important msller than some of them might suppose.

The Rev. E. MORTIMER gave The County and Neighbouring and observed there had never been a year, at all events in this ceqtnry, -when they could drink this toast, at least the first part of it, with such joy and satisfaction as they could in this year of 1905. (Applause.) They felt that the County team had done right well during the past season. (Hear, hear.) Those of them who were interested in county cricket desired to back up the committee in the efforts they had been making, and were still making, with a view to keeping up the strength of the team.

They had one or two set backs last summer, and he particularly remembered black Saturday, when he could not enjoy his afternoon cup of tea owing to certain news which was received from Bath. The eleven put up some very good fights, and showed good sport all the season, and he wished them increased success next year. (Applause.) Dealing with the second part of his alluded to the good feeling which prevailed amongst them, and said the one with which bo was most closely more to their old friend Fred Roberts, than to any three other men, for the advance they had made. (Applause.) Mr E. J.

TAYLOR was the first to respond, and said he, in common with all of them, regretted the absence of Mr Beloe, who always spoke in such hopeful tones, no matter how gloomy the outlook might be. (Hear, hear.) They had had a fairly successful season, though their record would have been better but for one unfortunate match which they had won three times over before they lost it. (Hear, hear.) Bristol people had supported the county better than in many previous years, but the committee considered there was room for still further improvement. They knew what good gates they got in the north part of the country, and he wished they could have the same in Bristol. (Hear, hear.) While urging the importance of this matter, be should like to say that the committee did not overlook that sport was their first consideration and money was the second, but they must make a certain amount of money in order to keep the County gbing as a competitor with other county clubshear.t He could not say anything definite about the finances of Gloucestershire, because they would not know what the Test matches would yield until the end of November, but he could say there would be no call upon the guarantors.

(Hear, hear.) He appealed for increased support for the guarantee fund; thev had a good list the first year, but there was a considerable falling off tne second year. This was not exactly a satisfaotory state of affairs, and he hoped that another season would show a decided improvement. He did not wish to say anything about Dennett, for he was above praise, hnt he should like to.point out that Huggins, who was a trier, would, with just a little bit of luck, have earned figures far superior to those which stood against his name. (Hear, hear.) For many years past it had been custom to play Sussex on -the Bank Holidays, but that would not be so'Mwxt year. (Applause.) The alteration, however, had not been brought about by any action on tba part of the Gloucestershire Committee.

It was in consequence of Kent desiring three days for their annual fixtures with their neighbours, Sussex. Instead of Sussex, the Bank Holiday matches next year would be with Essex. This was not a permanent arrangement, and ho hoped it would pot lead to any decrease in the attendance at the County Ground on August Bank Holiday, though he was sure it would not adversely affect the gate at Leyton on Whit Monday. (Applause.) Mr E. W.

BALL also acknowledged the toast, and. alluding to the last matter mentioned by Mr Taylor, said be hoped they would be able to get a more attractive fixture. Rsnjitsinhji waa not always able to come, and Pry did not always want to come. (Hear, bear.) So there was no reason why they should continue the Bank Holiday engagement with. They had very popular neighbours in Somerset.

Taunton and Bath were not very far away, and a match at one of those places on" Whit-Monday would draw very well, while the return at Bristol on the August Bank Holiday would be extremely popular. (Applause.) Ho had spoken to Mr S. M. J. Woods and Mr G.

McGregor about the matter, and be hoped in future years they would able to carry out the arrangement. (Hear, hear.) Mr E. J. Taylor had spoken upon financial questions, and be should like to supplement what he had said, more especially with regard to the terms they had arranged with George Dennett. As they knew Dennett was invited to go to South Africa agaiq, but as be had been playing fori five seasons without a rest, and he always pat the county first, he went to the committee, toldthem what be could make out of the trip, and expressed his willingness to stop at home if half the money was provided for him.

That was George simple, plain, unassuming sportsman. (Applause.) He hoped they would all agree that the committee were jusufled in coming to terms with Dennett. (Applanse.) Mr A. W. STUNT (Chairman Bristol Cricket Association) and Mr VINCENT THOMPSON (hon.

secretary and treasurer Clifton) also responded. Mr E. W. BALL submitted "The Bohemian Cricket and said the clnb was fortunate having a good lot of cricketers, who were also a good lot of sportsmen. Teams which played against them were sure of a good game, played in the best spirit They had an admirable president and a first-class set of officers, so no wonder the club was a happy and prosperous one.

The PRESIDENT was the first to respond, and said while the Bohemians always played to win he was afraid there were some county teams who did not enter upon their engagements in that spirit otherwise it would be difficult to account for the large number of drawn garnet they witnessed in first-class cricket When they looked at the tremendous crowds which attended football matches, and the comparatively small gates at cricket, they could not help, be believed, in attributing the sharpness of the contrast to the tedious style of play which waa often adopted. A very pleasing duty devolved upon him, one of the most pleasing he bad performed for a long time. They might have a good team, a good captain, and a good ground, but without a good secretary they would not have everything that was desirable. The Bohemians had been very fortunate in this respect daring the last nine years, while Mr H. Colston Skeates bad filled the dual office of secretary and treasurer.

He possessed most indomitable energy, and took the keenest interest in everything appertaining to the clnb. What was more, ne was a most unselfish man. (Applause.) As they all knew, Mr Skested captained the first eleven in 1903-4 while last yaar, when an extra team was started, he took charge of it and made it a great success. That was the sort of man they wanted in a club the Bohemians. The members desired to show in a email way their appreciation of the services of Mr Skeates, and on their behalf be asked that gentleman to accept a silver cigarette box, which bore his monogram and an appropriate inscription.

(Applause.) Mr H. COLSTON SKEATES having acknowledged the gift, Hr F. MARTIN and Mr CLIFFORD LOWTHER also spoke to the toast Mr HAROLD LOWTHER proposed and expressed the delight of the that Hr Goodenongh health had improved so much that be was able to take the chair at the dinner once more. The PRESIDENT, who was enthusiastically received, briefly replied. Hr H.

GOLFING NOTES. (By BUNKER that Harry Vardoq finds It necessary to winter abroad will be received with ranch regret. It was hoped that the-chest trouble had disappeared, bnt a recent eminent London specialist revealed a slight trace of it. and Vardon has decided at once to spend the winter in a sunny climate and to continue the open-air treatment. Those who have seen Vardon In his recent matches have noticed that on the second round in the day he exhibited signs of fatigue, and was consequently unable to show the brilliant form of which he is capable.

It is the sincere wish of the golfing world that he will, return to us next spring much benefited by the rest and change. J. H. Taylor, who for a few weeks was somewhat off his game, returned to brilliancy again last week, and on ihe Nottingham Tanks at Hotlinweli he made a record for the course with a grand round of 69. He went out in 36 and returned in S3.

This score beat the record for the green by a stroke. Williamson, the local professional, had a TO. Braid was 72. and Vardoa 77. This last public in this country for this year.

The return match between the Alveston end Henbury Olnba. which took place at Henbnry, resulted in a very easy win for Henbnry, who won matches and halved one. What the Alveeton players lack in skill they make up in pluck, for having played about ten matches they have yet to win their first.

Inspector Arrow was recalled and crossexamined as to the character and credibility of the convict Fisher, who had earlier in the case given evidence for the prosecution. The magistrate disallowed the questions, and Bridgewater hotly commented from the deck that the thing was a farce, and stank in the nostrils, of all right-minded people. Fisher, denied that he had ever opened Bridgewater's rooms with a false key. Prisoners were all committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court.
