jDmasiiiiw ana -mi. otu.in. *w«v*Director Robert Buckle made an excellent assistant as linesman.On Monday ti e Hotspur were, as I anticipated in my Gossip last week, successful oxer Luton town in their United League match, which they won by 4 goals to 3, in a game that fluctuated very considerably. Both i teams were evidently sintering from a superabundance : of over-anxietv, the goal keepers especially so. C alien being the greatest malefactor, letting two awfully easy shots beat him. Now, Cullen, I expect better things from you, so, for goodness' sake, pluck lip! leu minutes from time the cores were level—3 goals e ich ; but the irresistible Cameron came up smiling again, and banged the winning goal past Perkins, which, to me the words of the Hotspur crowd, was a little bit of awl riteand thus the Hotspur have sen red 4 United League points from the Shawopolis contingent. |Hartley, who played vice Smith at outride light, scoreda tine goal, and played a mo.t useful g one all through t Stormont took BrucUhaw's place, the latter being hurt.

Old Fore-ters at Cheshunt, a fixture that is always loosed forward to with a great amount of pleasure by both teams. I must thank Mr. Henry Mayo, the Club's courteous and obliging lion, sec., for forwarding me his fixture card, and must also congratulate him upon the excellence of same, which not only contains the club’s lit of engagements, but a full record of both the 1st and “2nd elevens since the season of 1S93-J. In the match to-day v Old Foresters the following will represent Cheshunt :—AV Bain, C Raincock. T Jull, H Hargreaves.
