It was not until the score had reached 172 that Paish was bowled by a ball which kept low . Another storm interrupted play at 177 , driving the players to seek shelter . The Ross innings was here declared closed , which was dis tinctly hard lines for Montgomery , who only required eight runs to complete a century . However , the Ross team were out for a win if possible , and no time could be lost . The tea interval was here taken , but the com- mencement of the Ledbury innings was un- fortunately delayed by fifteen minutes owing to a continuation of the rain . being made there was just an hour and fifteen minutes to go , and the home batsmen , like their opponents , profited by a rain - affected and easy scoring wicket .

The subject of help for farmers during harvest time was also discussed , but no farmers being present , nothing could be done as to this , and it was stated that inasmuch as there were men in the village who were out of work , the farmers could hardly be in need of any volunteers .

Many of your rea- ders may not have seen Mrs. Barneby's letter in the Hereford Times " on this subject . She is the hon . secretary and head in this usual . county .

Garments for either of these societies should be labelled accordingly . All flannel garments should be of large size , the flannel being shrunk before cutting out . They should be made of approved patterns , the latter being obtainable from Butterick's , 175 , Regent - street , London . Natural flannel should be used for bed - jackets , vests , nightin- gales . Day shirts may be made of flannel or mixed wool and cotton , socks of natural wheeling yarn .

Great respect was shown en route to the graveyard , by drawn blinds , éte . The coffin , which was of elm , was sup- plied by Mr. Leonard Jones , undertaker , Lydbrook . LOCAL MAN IN HAMBURG . Great anxiety has been felt by the relatives and friends concerning the safety of Mr. William Jones , son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jones , of the Jovial Colliers , Lydbrook , who for several years has held an appointment in an American Bank in Berlin . We are informed by Mr. George Jones ( station master at the Junction station of the Severn and Wye Joint Railway ) that the news has been re- ceived that his brother is now at Hamburg , but it is not known whether or not he is forcibly detained there . It is , however , a relief to the young man's parents to have been made nequainted of his whereabouts . MITCHELDEAN . Mr. W. B.

Williams , R. S. Clarke , E. Reece , H. Jones , W. Vaughan , G. Preece , E. Thomas , G. Lane , W. Rogers . Some of these have already joined , and the remainder are awaiting orders . Mr. Robert Clarke wrote explaining his enforced absence from the meeting , and said that he had been awaiting a commission , but conditions being so critical , he had determin- ed to enlist in the ranks at once , and had gone to Shrewsbury for this purpose .

Smallman , of Upton Bishop , apologising for his absence , but stating that they would no doubt run a team , and would enter the league . THE WAR AND ITS EFFECTS UPON FOOTBALL . A The CHAIRMAN said they met that even- ing under somewhat exceptional circum- stances . England was at war with Germany and it was a great question as to how the war was going to affect football this winter . Had they come there fully prepared to go on with the game , and the league ? A good many young fellows had left the town and district to serve their country , and there still be wanted , and the question was had was no doubt that a good many more would they a sufficient number of young men left in the country districts to take their places ? He supposed they wished to keep the game and the league going if they could , but he would like to hear the opinions of those pre- sent representing the various clubs as to whether they were going to run those clubs and whether they would get sufficient players and money to run right through the season . Of course , a large sum of money was now being given to the various war funds , and that was a matter which would no doubt Most of the representatives of the clubs said they had little doubt but what their held their meetings . It was eventually de- clubs would run , although they had not yet cided that the league should go on for the AN OLD OFFENDER - At Littledean Petty Sessions on Friday , Absalom Phelps , dealer , of Mitcheldean , was summoned by ington has asked for and obtained a commis- greatly affect some of the clubs .

Mr. CAPEWELL presented the financial 5s . 3d . , which included the £ 3 6s . 11d . bal- statement , which showed an income of £ 12 ance from the previous season . Their ex- penses came to £ 9 8s . 6d . , thus leaving a credit balance of £ 2 16s . 9d . The report , as presented , was passed as very satisfactory . NEW APPLICATIONS TO JOIN THE LEAGUE . Two fresh applications were received from the Ruardean and Mitcheldean Clubs to join the league for the coming season . After considerable discussion , it was unani- mously decided not to accept the application from Ruardean owing to the fact that when they were in the league before they were un- able to complete their fixtures , besides which they were unable to commence their games until very late in the afternoon . The Mitcheldean application was backed up by two representatives from the club being present , and after hearing the Mitchel- dean men , it was unanimously resolved that the Mitcheldean Club should be admitted to the league . It was understood that the clubs that would probably constitute the league for the season 1914-15 were : -Ross Town , Goodrich , Marcle , Mitcheldean , Hoarwithy , and Upton Bishop . With regard to the Ross Kyrle Club and Whitchurch , it was reported that both those clubs were under suspension at present , and that neither of them could be admitted until the penalities inflicted upon them by the County Association were paid . THE RULES . It is evident that the appeal made by the British Red Cross Society and others for gar- ments for the sick and wounded is going to meet with a very generous response . There will be an immense number of various gar- ments and other articles , and it will be of great assistance to the British Red Cross Society - who has to pack and despatch these goods - if a certain number of them could be made up in kit bags . Each kit bag should contain the following articles : -Slippers ( soft ) , socks ( one pair ) , pyjamas , shirt , handkerchiefs ( 2 ) , towel , comb , toothbrush , nailbrush , soap , sponge , ( in small sponge bag ) , writing paper ( 12 sheets ) , envelopes , indelible pencil ( in india- rubber band ) .

It is earnestly hoped that Customers will not delay their orders for Dressmaking or Millinery , as we are anxious that our workrooms may be on full time as The kit bag itself should be made of strong canvas : -Width , 20 inches ; depth , 21 inches including flap , or 15 inches when closed . The bag should be cut in two pieces , one piece 20ins . by 15ins . , and the other 20ins . by 21ins . It should be bound with strong braid , and the flap tied in two places with the same braid . The bag is of quite simple construction , but if patterns should be re- quired , they can be obtained from Mrs. Carr Ellison , 41 , Prince's Gate , S.W. , Messrs : Harrod's Stores , Messrs . Selfridge's , or the British Red Cross Society , Devonshire House , Piccadilly , W.
