ASTON VILLA v. STAFFORD ROAD. These teams met on the Stafford Road Grounds, Wolverhampton, when one of the largest gates in the history of Wolverhampton football occurred. The ground was in such a dreadful condition that Sellman, one of the best backs in the Roaders' team, refused to strip, and Riley, of the second team, took his place. The Wolverhampton Club never possessed a chance, and the Villa scored five goals to their opponents’ none. It is quite unnecessary to describe so one-sided an affair as the match proved. The play was almost totally confined to the vicinity of tho Stafford road, and had the ground been at ail fit for football, the visitors would have gained more goals than they did.
