GOBLIN.  The large crowd which Resembled on the Nelson ground on Saturday reminded one very much of the Derby days of the past, when Bacup or ('honey used to invade this mellifluous region, accompanied by their host of lusty supporters. It did appear that all Trawden and his wife were present on Saturday, and judging from the prognostications indulged in before the match, one would have imagined that Nelson were in for a sorry time.  What actually did occur, h-owever, was not at all to the satisfaction of the jubilant Foresters, and they returned to their native heath sadder yet wiser men. Perhaps the lesson will do them good, for to under-estimate opponents is one of the wont policies that any team can adopt. Nelson, although a team new to the methods of the North East Lancashire Combination, are by no means a despicable crew, and no doubt Trawden will have a better opinion of their abilities than before the cup encounter. In fact, Nelson had a comparatively easy journey into the next round. Trawden failed ignominiously, and never once challenged their position. The backs were conspicuously weak, and although Nield and Pickles merited much attention by their tackling propensities, yet ' their work was ineffective owing to the rash placing or indiscriminate shooting. The inability to feed on the part of Nield was one of the chief objections urged against Nield when playing with Chorley, but I remember him playing some capital games with the present champions of the Lanca_shire League. One of the most surprising and gratifying features of the game was the capital exhibition by the Nelson forwards. Parkinson and Trafford on the extreme wings were judiciously fed by the inside men, and the whole line seldom neglected an opportunity to shoot. There is one fault which the left wing would do Well to get rid of, and it is to centre the ball before the corner flag is arrived at. It is very attractive when an outside man can accurately centre from the furthest extremity, but as a rule the defence has time to solidify, and the task of the other forwards is rendered much more difficult.  Almond and Bradshaw both played exceedingly well, and Thoma,, with a few exceptions, acquitted himself creditably. Nunnick, too, played a sound, useful game, though his shooting was scarcely perfect. It was an enjoyable game, despite the dismal surroundings, the best team ueservedly winning. To-morrow, o,wahltwistle Rovers are met in the Same competition, and a hard game should be the result.
