COTTAGE TENANTS. Newtown Association and The Purchase Bill.
Mr. J. Keane, Chairman, presided at a largely attended meeting at Newtown of the local branch of the Cottage Tenants and Rural Workers’ Association.
The Chairman in the course of his remarks referred to the proposed Cottage Purchase Bill, and said he hoped the Government would fulfil their promises and pass the Bill, as it was unfortunate that the cottage tenants were deprived of the many advantages which they would derive under the Bill when it became law.
The following resolution, on the proposition of Mr. John Keane, seconded by Mr. J. Foley, was adopted:—”That we call the attention of the Government to the delay in introducing the Purchase Bill, and we hereby call on them to pass the Bill into law when the Dail reassembles, as we are no longer satisfied with the postponement.” (1) Proposed by Mr. R. Stack and seconded by Mr. M. Kinnelly: “That we demand a 50 per cent, reduction in rents. The cottage tenants were as much entitled to this reduction as the tenant farmers. Any argument in favour of the farmers’ reduction went further in the case of the cottage tenants as their rent formed “portion of the land
annuities.” (3) Proposed by Mr. T. Power and seconded by Mr. C. O’Connell: “That we call on the government to take the necessary steps to put the cottages in County Kerry into a state of proper repair at once, as their present condition is a disgrace to any Government who is out for the welfare of the working classes.”

NORTH KERRY FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Newtown, 3—11; Tarbert, 0—4.
Knockanure, 1—2; Bedford, 0—2.
There was a large crowd present at Tarbert on Sunday when the North Kerry Football League was advanced a further stage. The day was beautifully fine, a pleasing contrast to the weather of the past fortnight in North Kerry, and this added to the charming situation of the field, made the fixture a very pleasant one. Most interest centred in the meeting of Tarbert and Newtown—old and local rivals—but the game was a disappointing display, for after making a bold showing in the opening half, Tarbert faded away in the closing stages, and were a well beaten team at the final whistle. Knockanure, whose first appearance it was, defeated Bedford. Though the football may not have been so stylish as in the first game, it was, nevertheless, an interesting contest, with the exchanges level till towards the end, when Knockanure rushed through a goal. Bedford, however, must be considered unlucky losers, as a number of close-in frees were nulled. Messrs Sean Stack (Ballylongford) and S. Stack (Newtown) were the referees.

NORTH KERRY LEAGUE
BAD WEATHER FOR KNOCKANURE MATCHES
Newtown, 3-9; Thomas Ashe, 2-2. .
Two matches in the third round of the North Kerry Football League were played at Knockanure on Sunday last. The weather conditions were wretched, thus robbing the games of much of their interest. The opening match was practically played through a downpour, and the standard of play seen was not anything like the brilliance expected from the meeting of two such teams as Newtown and Thomas Ashe (Listowel). Con Brosnan, the well-known Kerry footballer, reappeared for Newtown, filling the role of full back, in which he gave a brilliant exhibition. He was ably assisted by J. Flavin, T. O’Mahony, S. Stack, C. Mulvihill. J. Enright and D. Kearney.
Thomas Ashe opened the score with a point, to which Newtown replied with a point per T. O’Mahony. Newtown took the lead shortly after when Mulvihill kicked a point. They went further ahead with points from Josie Enright and C. Brosnan before Thomas Ashe replied with a point per John Lynch.
Thomas Ashe scored a goal soon after the resumption, Newtown replying with a similar score. O’Mahony doing the needful. From this to full time Newtown had much the better of play, scoring two further goals and four points, to which Thomas Ashe replied with a goal.
Mr. S. Coughlan, Craughdarrig F. C, refereed.

NORTH KERRY LEAGUE
Newtown, 1—4; Blackcocks Feathers, 0—1. There was a good attendance at Knockanure when Newtown and Blackcocks Feathers (Listowel) met in the first round of the North Kerry S.F. League. Division 111. Weather conditions were favourable, and the game, which ended in a win for Newtown was regarded by the majority of local fans as easily the best of the many League contests that have been played to date. In the first half Newtown, playing against the breeze had three points, per Brosnan (2) and Carmody. A sterling Newtown defence stopped many promising.
