Mid-onpeakRe-notsingnosfcwin for •tanS. H. A.. m.1 atur-tjned65,Ions’stake it as gospel from yours truly that that wants doing down Tottenham way—andtheold Notts Forest and Woolwich Arsenal manshould feel pleased with himself. ♦-\To-day we are given a chance of seeing the cream of England's amatenr talent under the title of “ Corinthians ” perform at the Crystal Palace against Sheffield United, the chosen of the League authorities as the best professional team of the season. By the way, what price Sunderland, to compete for the new Sheriff of London Charity Shield, presented by Mr. Sheriff Thomas R. Dewar, of Ashford, Kent. The Shield is really a magnificent piece of plate, and the winners, besides becoming holders of the trophy will also have valuable gold medals. The game is sure to be hotly contested as Mr. N. L. Jackson, the Corinthian well-known idolized secretary has whipped up a grand representative team. There has been extensive preparations at the Palace, and a great crowd is sure to be present for the sacred cause of charity. Kick off is fixed for four p.m.Besides the Dewar shield Southerners are greatly interested in the semi-final ties in the English Cup, and will anxiously await the news from Sheffield Town as to how the Southampton pets have performed against Notts Forest. That the Sotonians will give the Forest a good game I have not the slightest coubt; but I hardly think them cajjable of beating what I feel sure is at the present time one of the best combinations in the Kingdom. The other two are Derby Coun tv v Everton ; the latter are supposed to be better Cup fighters than the County, but there will not bo much to choose between these two when the referee sounds his final blast at Wolverhampton to-night. I am not out as a tipster for either events, but in all probability there will be a strong flavour of toffee and a plentiful show of lace for thefinal of 1897-8.1 recognised Mr. Nathaniel Whittaker, hon see. of the Southern League, in the enclosure at Northumberland Park last Saturday ; also Mr. S. R. Carr, assistant sec. of the London League; and Mr. H. L. Bourke, well-known to Middlesex Leaguers, who by the way, had just returned from Brighton, where he had been spending his honeymoon. Although late in the day, I feel sure all loyal Leaguers will heartily join in wishing Mr. Bourke every success in his hazardous undertaking, and hearty congratulations to the happy couple. ♦-An Enfield correspondent wishes to know what the Enfield F.C. are coming to ? Until he noticed a par in our last weeks issue he had began to think they were defunct. My correspondent asks if I can define the reason of their silence—Define! define ! Evidently lie takes me for a walking encyclopaedia. Perhaps Messrs. Cranfield, Collyer, C. W. Whittaker, and Mr. Jnrv 8 have gone to Klendyke, for all I know. I have not seen them for ‘ages.* A rumour did reach me that Mr. Wilson, the esteemed treasurer of the club, had retired and gone to Monte Carlo on the profits of the enormous gates this season !The Enfield Wednesday F.C. is another club that is not setting the New River on fire with their performances this season, and Mr. Cole informed me the other evening, with tears in his eyes, and a very sad expression on his face, that owing to losing several of their best men things did not look at all gay for the future. Alas ! poor Wednesday ; alas, poor Enfield. Verily, thy cup of bitterness is apparently full to overflowing. Attention ; ye Enfield Spartans, buckle on thine armour and fight like the very devil (it’s all right!I mean our printer’s devil. Mr. Editor) for the lost prestige of the Enfield Clubs.The Novocastrian8 rested on their laurels last Saturday, but to-day the proceedings should be somewhat lively at Ponders End, for Waltham Hol-born are coming with the full intention of avenging their somewhat unexpected defeat by our locals on their own midden earlier in the season. A friend informs me thj.t the Walthamstow team have been doing wonders lately. Still, while wo think of it, so have the Novo?. I am told both teams mean doing or dying. Which team “do'd” or which “ died history will relate next week.“I think in appointing such a practical judge o football as Mr. Frank Bret tell, who comes with the highest credentials from Bolton, the club has done the very best possible thing they could. He s in my opinion, just the man wanted, and should become very popular, both with plovers and spectators Therefore, we can fully expect goodresults '*“ Do you intend trying to get irffo the EnglishLeague? If so, do you think vou would benefit % * financially, providing you were successful in yourapplication ?'*“This must lie left to the directors of the newCompany, but I should sav they will not make anapplication as the transfer fees for players would *be very heavy, and I think they would lose moneyv ft. ’ Vby it, as the expenses in railway travelling would be very great.’“ Which of the two Leagues you now compete indo you consider the best—the Southern or the United r“I think the Southern is the best at the present time : but if the clubs in the United could arrange Saturday dates, and bring one nr two better clubs into it, ic would make a giand League, in my opinion. ”“What do'you consider the strongest and weakest points in your present team ? ”“ 1 do not think there is much'ditlerence ; they are a very level lot—backs, halves, and towards, and a good goalkeeper.”“ Who do you consider have been the hardest workers for the club among the officers—besides yourself, I mean *“Speaking candidly, I think Jack Jull has done more for the club than any other member both on and off the field. His long period of captaincy, and the way in which he stuck to the club when it was in a shaky state lias deservedly made him very ponular in Tottenham. Our lamented old friend, Frank Hatton, also did an immense lot of work ; and R. Buckle, J. H. Thompson, jnn,, and W. Mason, as secretaries, have been indefatigable. On the committee F. Dexter has done yeoman service, and in recent years John Oliver, our president, and R. Bullock have been most useful. We have also receiver! great assistance from Mr. J. Jull, sen., and Mr. J. H. Thompson, sen.“ Then you consider the future prospeete of the Club extremely bright?”“ Yes ; most certainly. We have a tremendous following and there is no club in the land who have a better lot of sportsmen connected with them—sportsmen who want the be-t football obtainable and don’t mind paying for ft. Then we have, without a doubt, one of the mo.-t accessible grounds near London, and when finished, our arrangements w ill he as well nigh perfect for D’e comfort of our usual large crowds as possible.You can take it from me. the Limited Liability Company are in for a good thing. And, by the bye, don’t you forget we play Sheppy United next Saturday, the 19th. And now, ta-ta ! ’’“ Excuse me, Mr. Ca-ev. ‘half a mo.’ Do you think your team will ever win the English Cup :’ “Rats!” replied “Sam,” and vanished from mv gaze “like a beautiful dream,” leaving mo with a lively recollection of a pleasant half-hour.A SPUR.ADJOURNED ANNUAL LICENSINGSESSIONS.Wood Green Brewster Sessions.I have no information to hand to say who won and who lost at Chesbunt last Saturday, or whether the ground man had to get the assistance of a Carter Paterson’s van to carry away the shekels, so I am like a great many of the candidates for the County Council at the present timed—stranded. I don’t know if 1 shan't be pleased to hear that Bowes Park have visited Cheshunt to-day and severely chastised our locals. I fuel very vindictive over the matter.—- ♦- -—Enfield Ixck have a little matter to settle with Oxford House, who deprived the Lockites of two league points, and, speaking from memory, 1 think a penalty kick did the business. To day Corporal Doel’s nnerrry boys mean putting forth superhuman effort* to raze the House above mentioned to the ground, so don’t be alarmed if you hear indications of an earthquake near the banksof the Lea._ A SPUR.A FAMOUS HOTSPUR.H. D. Casey Interviewed by “Spur.1 question if there is a better known individual in or around Tottenham thau the subject of this interview, Mr. 11. 1). t'assey of Tottenham Hotspur, or yet a more popular man. Mr. Casey, is better known as “ Sam ' at Nortliumheiland Park, for he has been connected with the Club from its infancy. Always one of the most promineut workers for its good, Sam with Bobby Buckle, Jack Jull, Jack Thompson, and poor old Frank Hattan, now alas, gone to that “ bourne from which no traveller returns,” laid the foundation of what bids fair to he not only one of the strongest clubs in tin; South but in England. Let us hope that those who continue the building will act up to the principles which havealways beeu the chief characteristic of those who have placed the club on such a solid foundation. It will be generally admitted that Mr. Casey is one of the best all round athletes in the North of London. To enumerate his numerous successes would take up more space than can be atfurded. My readers will judge of his abilities by knowing that he has won considerably over 1lt;« prizes during tin-past lb ylt; ars for running, swimming, am rowing. He was also considered one ot the Last right half hacks the club }»os sessed in their amateur days. He is a member of the well-known Finchley Harriers, and was quarter-rude champion in IH.il, known as a strong and fearless runner.The Wood Green Town Hall, Friday.—Justices present: Messrs. Morton Latham (chairman), E. Matthews, \V. Burrows, P. Carlyon Britton, and Col. Durrant.Mr. Grain, barrister, appeared to support the application of Mr. Panne]], of Lyne’s Stores, High stttet, Southgate, for the renewal of a beer off-licence. There was an opposition on beh.ilf ofMr. Henry Mobbs, of the Wool puck Inn, which is immediately opposite applicant's premises. It was contended that the licence was not i»’ce--:\rv. Also that the premises had been closed tur a Considerable time, anil had now been opened by Mr. Panned as an ale store, in-tead of, as tormerly, as a wholesale and retail grocery stores—Inspector Dowty said that when the application was mado for a protection order by Mr. Panned it was refused. The premises had been closed for some time. Witness had seen cam- announeing that abonus would be given to purrha-ers ot ale, etc.Mr, Lyne afterwards withdrew the raids com-plained of. — Mr. Mobbs next gave evidence as to the alteration in the character ot Mr. PannelTs Stores.
