Another Football Cup.
PROMISED BY A KANDOS ENTHUSIAST.
Mr. F. S. Richards, superintendent of the Kandos Cement Company, and one of the greatest union football enthusiasts in the district, who attends all the matches in Mudgee when Kandos is playing, has intimated that should Kandos win the competition this year, and so to encourage the union game to go on again next year, that he will give a cup. The union officials and union footballers generally appreciate Mr. Richards' offer very much. It is through the generosity of such men as Mr. Richards that the flag is kept flying in connection with the good old amateur game of football1

FOOTBALLERS ENTERTAINED.
On Saturday evening the members of the Kandos football team were entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Floyd S. Richards at their residence. After the good things had been disposed of a couple of hours were spent to music. Songs were received by Mrs. Richards and by several of the footballers. Mrs. J. Penny presided at the piano. Mr. A. P. Meany, president and manager of the Football Club, called on Mr. George Hall (the captain) to propose a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Richards and the ladies. Mr. Hall, in a very nice speech, thanked the host and hostess for their hospitality, and for the great assistance rendered the Club by Mr. Richards. The vote of thanks was seconded by Mr. W. Junge, and supported by Messrs. Abbot, Durham, Doherty and Simpson. The vote was carried by acclamation. The members of the Club then sang "For They Are Jolly Good Follows." Three cheers were given for Mr. and Mrs. Richards. Mr. Richards, responding, said it gave him great pleasure to assist the Club in any way. He admired the sportsmanlike manner in which they played the good old game, and said the members were a credit to the town of Kandos. Mrs. Richards also responded3
