BROMSGROVE.

Loam., BOARD.—At the monthly meeting of this
Board, held at the rown Hall on Wednesday evening,
Mr. W. Jeffaries presiding, Mr. Carey, the medical
officer, reported that 16 deaths had been registered
during December, the death-rate being 275 per thousand
against 9 deaths and a rate of 15.5 in the corresponding
month of last year. Six of the deaths were due to
bronchitis, and 5 to zymotic disease-1 to croup and 4
to scarlet fever. The latter disease had increased
during the month, and it showed a strong tendency to
spread in the neighbourhood of Stourbridge Street and
the courts adjacent. Some conversation took place, in
the course of which Mr. Sanders, the clerk, the chair-
man, and other members defended the course taken by
the Board in issuing notices warning persons to be care-
ful not to spread the infection, and which had met with
considerable adverse criticism as having caused a panic
andiprevented persons from the country coming into the
town. Mr. Carey stated, in answer to questions, that
the disease is not abating. He had ten cases under his
own charge, and Ur. Wood also had cases, but he had
not asked how many. There was much more scarlet
fever than usual at this time of year, and there ought
not to be any in a town like Bromsgrove. Mr. Sanders
said it was for the Board to act if there was any pre-
ventible disease in the district, and if they had not taken
the measures they did in Dec6mber, after the report of
their officer, they would have signally failed in their
duty.—A. lengthy correspondence between Mr. Sanders
and the Local Government Board, as to providing a
a hospital for isolating infectious cases, was read, and
was referred to the Sanitary Committee for considera-
tion.—There was also a correspondence about the im-
provements at the railway station, recommended by
Captain Tyler, after inspection, in January last, and
which are not yet carried out, and the correspondence
showed that it was not the intention of the railway com-
pany to carry out the recommendations as to the im-
provement of the up-platform. Mr. Sanders had
therefore represented the whole matter to the Board of
Trade, and had received a promise of a further com-
munication from that Board as soon aa practicable.—
The above was the principal business.

FOOTBALL. -
mom v. BIRMINGIII.I4.•••The return match between

these clubs was played at the Aston Lower Grounds on
Saturday last, and ended in a victory for Hagley by five
goals to two. For some time the play was very even,
until Whitfield getting hold of the ball made a neat run,
and secured the first goal for Hagley. This put the
men on their mettle, and playing well together they
secured two goals in succession, one from a good corner
kick, and taken by J. Bill ; the other fell to a clever
kick by S. Bryan. A little bOore half-time Carter, for
Hagley, made a very clever shot, and secured a second
goal for Hagley. After •half-time both teams worked
hard for victory. The Hon. A. Lyttelton, who had
made several good runs (notwithstanding his lameness),
now secured a third goal for Hagley. Before time was
called two more goals fell to the visitors, one kicked by
Abraham and the other by Carter. The Birmingham
forwards worked hard all through the game, and at
times their passing was very good. The Begley team
played well all round, and the brilliant runs of Whitfield
and the Hon, A. Lyttelton were fully appreciated by a
large number of spectators. The back kicking on behalf
of Bagley was exceedingly good. The following are the
players :—Birmingham: Backs, G. Pears and 11.
Webster; half-backs, Stevens and H. Slack; forwards,
F. Bill, Riddell, E. Davis, A. Harvey, T. Bryan, and
