Football. BY ^MUDDIED OAF." RUGBY. Mountain Ash v. Pontardawe. Undis- mayed by their recent series of reverses, the" Mountain Ash fifteen paid their annual visit to the Pontardawe Club on Saturday last, yet they were still with- out the services of Wyndham Jones, Johnnv Thomas, and Eddy Ainsworth. The Pontardawe team were well repre- sented, and they had the assistance of the famous Jimmy Rhapsey at half- back. For Mountain Ash: Back, T. Williams; i-backs, Trevor Flooks, A. Lovelock, Stebbings, and Ted Bradford; i-backs, Benjamin and Hopkins; for- .wards, Frver, Gallimore, Dai Watts, Joe Ellery, Dick Jarman, Griffiths, Evans, and P.C. Hill. Messrs. Tom Shepherd and George Caple, two of the best for- wards, were also absent from the pack. o u 0 Trevor Flooks ran in with a clever but unconverted try for his side. A scram- ble in one of the many pools resulted in the ball being lost in the mud. How- ever, Bradford succeeded in finding the hidden treasure," and he made no mis- take in running over with a try for the Old Firm." At the interval the Mount team led bv 2 tries to nil. After the change of ends, the homesters were more aggressive, and George Williams scored a try which D. Thomas converted. To- wards the end it was impossible to recog- nise the teams owing to their muddy ap- pearance. Final score: Mountain Ash, 2 tries (6 points); Pontardawe, 1 con- verted try (5 points). o o o Supporters of the team at Mountain Ash are delighted with the new move made by the team's committee in weed- ing out the indifferent players, and plac- ing new and vounger players in their stead. On last Saturday's form the Mount forwards were triumphant. Thev heeled much better and showed more skill and intelligence in the cpen. Beautiful harmony existed between the four three-quarters backs. All the pass- in" done in the first half was executed bv° the Mount backs. The display of Hopkins at half-back was very promis- ing, and he and Benjamin played with a better understanding. Yet "Williams at full-back was not good enough. 000 ASSOCIATION.

The game was wholly in favour of the Cwmbach team, for whom Morgan John Davies. at full-back, was the finest player on the field. The visitors were complete- ly out-classed, and goals were scored for the homesters by George Davies, J a c k. Evans (twice), .and by W. Lewis Davies (twice). Bufton, in goal, ivas quite safe, whilst Mog Lloyd at back was also prominent.

After the. change of ends, the W-aiiderers gave a better account of themselves. However, the Windsors played like demons, and gave the Wanderers a very hot time of it. By dint of a clever understanding between the halves and forwards, an on- ward pass from John Rees to Dai Tom Evans, the centre-forwards, saw the lat- ter beating Bees with a terrific shot.

Grand Orchestral Concert at…
Grand Orchestral Concert at Aberdare. One of the finest concerts we have had in the town for some time was given at the Market Hall, Aberdare, on Thurs- day, by the Aberdare Orchestral Sociblly, under the able conductorship of Prof. R. Howells. The first-class concerts of this society are locked forward to every year as a musical treat, and this year's effort was no exception, in fact the playing of the orchestra (with such a minimum of professional talent) eclipsed all previous events. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a good audience attended, all the reserved seats having been booked before-hand. The artistes were: Miss Julia Caroli, the eminent soprano of London; bass-baritone, Mr. Godfrey Price (of Glyndwr Richards' Concert Tour, etc.); solo piccolo, Mr. W. C. Ace, Bristol. Mr. D. Fred Davies ably played the accompaniments in his usual tasteful manner. The orchestra (of 40 performers) opened the programme with a fine march, "Florentiner-" (Fucik), followed by the overture Oberon" (Weber), both being excellently rendered, especially the latter, which is very rare- ly heard in such beautiful style.. Miss Julia Caroli was then introduced, and sang the aria, Caro-Nome (Rigoletto), (Verdi), with orchestra. She had not proceeded many bars before she dis- tinguished herself as an artiste of the very first rank. Her beautiful top notes captivated the audience, and she was re- peatedly recalled until she responded with a sweet rendering of Coming thro' the Rye." Mr. W. C. Ace then gave a popular piccolo solo," Polka Brilliante (Cox), calling1 forth a well-merited en- core, to which he responded. The next item was a bass solo, "Asleep in the deep," by Mr. Godfrey Price, which was sung in fine style, his rich bottom notes being heard to advantage, and an en- core was demanded. The orchestra then gave their chief item on the programme, Beethoven's great Symphony in C Minor. This difficult work in four movements, Allegro Con Brio, Andante, Allegro and Finale, taking 30 minutes to render, was played exceedingly well. It kept the audience in a high state of tension, and at the end they burst forth with a loud applause. The other items were three songs by Miss Caroli (encored); Inter- lude, Salut d'Amour," the orchestra; song, Mr. Godfrey Price; song, "Villan- elle" (Dell-Aqua)* Miss Caroli, which was also rapturously encored. The or- chestra then gave a very fine rendering of the "Aferry Widow." The National Anthem brought a splendid programme to a close. The following constituted the orches- tra:—1st violins: Messrs. D. J. Maddox (prin.), W. Baker, Steven Evans, D. J. Morris, D. Jenkins, J. Lloyd. 2nd vio- lins Messrs. W. Walters (prin.), H. Ware, J. Evans, T. H. Davies, A. J. Pontin, T. Morse, and Misses C. Sage and M. Morgan. Violas: Messrs. W. Davies, T. Davies, S. H. Davies. 'Cellos: Miss Jenny Jones, Mr. W. J. Jones, Basses: Miss Mary Jones, Mr. D. Jones.. Flutes: Messrs. W. C. Ace, Tom Lawr- ence.

The secre- tarial duties were again ably carried out by Mr. Fred Davies, to whom a great deal of the success of the concert is due.
WHAT A NURSE SAYS.
WHAT A NURSE SAYS. i Dp Morse's Indian Root Pills splendid for Indigestion, Con- stipation, and Female Irregularities. Women at all times are more or less subject to weakness brought about by Indigestion and Pelvic Disorders, and in the course of her profession a nurse sees a great deal of suffering, much of which could be avoided. A duly qualified nurse admittedly ranks next to the doctor as an authority on the treatment of general ailments and womanly weaknesses, and in following her profession she has a varied experience, and every opportunity to gain a thorough knowledge of the various treatments of these diseases. She is therefore able to judge and competent to speak of the wonderful efficacy of DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS as a Remedy for all complaints originating from disorders of the Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, and all Female Ailments from whatever cause arising. One of the many Nurses who has voluntarily written praising DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS is NURSE SHAW, 2 Commercial Street, Huddersfield, who writes I think your DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are splendid, and I have had two patients who have derived great benefit from them. I have taken a number of bottles myself, and am much better in my general health. I recommend them to all as a thoroughly good Pill for Con- stipation, Indigestion and Female Irregularities, for which they seem to be specially effective." As a great Female II Remedy these Pills are unexcelled, and thousands of women owe health and strength to their wonderful cleansing and toning qualities. They establish regularity, aiding in the digestion and assimilation of Food and tone the entire system. They are a positive and permanent cure for Indigestion, Con- stipation, Biliousness;, Impure Blood and all Female Irregularities. bold by Chemists and Stores, price lIlt per 1 2 bottle, or THE W.

New Road to Cwmaman,
New Road to Cwmaman, FORMAL OPENING CEREMONY. Thursday afternoon last was a day of great rejoicing amongst, the people of Cwmaman and Godreaman, it being the occasion of the opening of the new road to Cwmaman. Owing to the continuous downpour of rain the proposed demonstra- tion was abandoned. A short route, was taken, however, as far as the Cwmaman new opening, the procession starting from the Public Hall at 3 o'clock. The Aber- dare constabulary, under the direction of Inspector Nott, headed the procession. They were followed by the Cwmaman Silver Band, undel' the conductorship of Mr. Wm. Smith, and lively selections of music were played en route. Then fol- lowed the members of the Aberdare Dis- trict Council, and the following members of the Cwmaman Chamber of Trade: Mr C. Arthur Parr, president; Dr. Chapman, vice-president; Messrs. John. Daniel, treasurer; J. H. Job, secretary; Isaac Evans, financial secretary; Norman Owen, J. S.. Rees, C. P. Cartlidge, H. Cohen, H. Evans, George Parr, N. Mc- Gillivray, and J. Chamberlain. Then the members of the Aberdare Fire Brigade, under the direction of Captain John Davies; and the Cwmaman Ambulance Brigade, under the command of the fol- lowing Sergeant Evans, drill instructor; T. Isaac Griffiths, superintendent; 1st ambulance officer, J. Powell Davies; hon. surgeon, Dr. E. F. Thomas; Sergeant Tom Davies and Corporals Tom Evans and D. Jonathan. Councillor E. Stonelake, J.P., delivered a few appropriate words, and then called upon his daughter, Miss Elsie May Stone- lake, to cut the first ribbon which had been fastened across the road. Miss Stonelake did so, and then formally de- clared the road to be open. Mr. Owen Williams, surveyor to the Council, pre- sented Miss Stonelake with a beautiful trinket box, which bore the following in- scription "Presented to Miss Elsie May Stonelake, on the- occasion of the opening of the Cwmaman New R,oa,d, Dec. 2nd, 1909." Councillor Wm. Rees, ex-chair- man of the District Council, gave a brief address. His son, Master Morgan Rees, cut the second ribbon, and declared the load now fully open. He was presented with a writing case, which was formally handed over by Col. T. Phillips, the Clerk to the Urban District Council. The pro- cession wended its way back to the Public Hall, where a public meeting 'was held. Mr. E. Stonelake presided, and was sup- ported by Col. T. Phillips, Clerk, Coun- cillor Wm. Thomas, High Constable (who wore his chain of office), Mr. H. Beddoe, deputy clerk; Mr. Owen Williams, sur- veyor Councillors D. Jackson Thomas Wm. Pees, M. J. Harries, J. 0. George, Owen Powell, Dd. Davies, and T. Lewis; Mr. John Morris, clerk to the Education Committee; Dr. M. J. Rees, medical officer; Mr Gwilym Griffiths, water-rate collector; Messrs. B. Lewis and Samuel James, sanitary inspectors; Mr. R. R. Price, road foreman; Dr. R. F. Thomas, Cwmaman; Messrs. Abraham Watkins, Trevor Owen, E. Rosser, and J. Lewis, clerks under the Council, and Mr. J. Dun.. stan, contractor. Amongst the audience also were ex-Councillor John Davies, and Mr. Howells, agent to the landlord. The Chairman expressed his pleasure at seeing every section of the communify represent- ed that day, to celebrate such a conspicu- ous event. Contrary to the usual custom this scheme of social reform had been car- ried out without much difficulty being en- countered from the landlords. They would now have practically a new road from Cwmaman to the New Cemetery at Aberdare, a distance of 4! miles. The completion of this road to Cwmaman brought to a final payment the sum of X12,000 which they had expended in this direction. It was part of a larger scheme of further development which they had in view, viz., the adoption of Electric Tram- ways. (Hear, hear.) The prime necessi- ty had at last been sanctioned by the Local Government Board, so that there was every hope of tramways being obtain- ed soon.—Councillor Wm. Thomas said that apart from the weather, every fea- ture of the function that day was agree- able to him. The new road was a credit, he thought, to the contractor, and it would serve excellently as a better link between Cwmaman and Sweet 'Berdar. He could assure the people of Cwmaman that their interests were well watched in the Council Chamber, and their repre- sentatives were always on the alert to secure the best facilities for the place. ('Cheers.)—Councillor Wm. Eees hoped that a defect in the new road which could be remedied only by the owner of the pro- perty at the Cwmaman end, would be done by that gentleman. He hoped that something would be done even yet to get a decent place to traverse in Incline Row. Furthermore, Cwmamanites would not be satisfied until Electric Cars would run between Cwmaman and Aberdare. (Hear, bear.)-The, Chairman remarked that the Gwmaman Chamber of Trade deserved the thanks of the inhabitants for the interest they had taken in the affairs of this day. —The Councillors and other guests then adjourned to the Lesser Public HaIr where a splendid luncheon had been pre- pared by the officials of the Chamber of Trade. The ladies who presided at the tables were Mrs. Isaac Evans, Mrs. Geo. Parr, Mrs. H. Evans, Mrs. MacGillivray, Mrs. J. H. Job, Mrs.. Jones, Mrs. David Rees, Glanrhyd Stores; Mrs Daisy Lewis, Mrs. Walter Jones, Miss Williams, The Emporium; Mrs. John Lloyd, Miss M. II. Lewis, Miss Maggie Jones, Miss Mac- Gillivray, and Miss Lizzie Jones. The carver was Mr. J. Chamberlain, and the cake cutter Mr. J. T- Llewellyn. Mrs Arthur Parr and Mrs. Jane Evans were the oread and butter cutters, and Mr. J. Ray brewed the tea. Mr C. Arthur Parr, on behalf of the Chamber of Trade, read letters regretting inability to attend from Mr. W. J. Heppell, J.P., Mr T. L. Davies, M.E., and also Mr. J. Llewellyn, manager of the Cwmaman Co-operative Stores, who rejoiced that Cwmamanites had at last realised their ambition. Mr. Parr concluded by thanking all, on behalf of the people of Cwmaman, for their pres- ence that afternoon, and particularly the kind ladies who presided at the tables. (Cheers.) Speeches were delivered by Councillors E. Stonelake, Owen Powell, D. Jackson Thomas, and Wm. Thomas; Col. T. Phillips, Mr. Owen Williams, and Mrs. E. Davies. A resolution of hearty thanks to the Chamber of Trade was pro- posed by Councillor M. J. Harris, and seconded by Councillor Owen George. Mr. Harry Cohen responded on behalf of the above body in a suitable manner. The road has cost altogether about = £ 5,000. It is 36 feet wide, and is nearly half a mile in length. The old tip has disappeared entirely, and 40ft. of ground has been excavated, and a corresponding 40ft. of hollow ground filled in. The wall alongside is 9ft. thick and 40ft. high, measuring 1800 cubic yards in all.

Presentations at Mountain…
Presentations at Moun- tain Ash. The members and friends of Provi- dence English Congregational Chapel, Mountain Ash, gathered together last Thursday evening to honour Mr. J. Powell,. M.E., who has held the position of deacon for many years. At the tea the following ladiës rendered valuable service: Mrs. I. Jones, Mrs. Hy. Eynop, Mrs. W. Peters, Mrs. Millar, Mrs. Hob- by, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Pugh, Mrs. J. Williams, Miss Hobby, Miss Williams, Miss Reynolds, Miss James. A meeting was held after tea, over which Mr. Wm. Powell presided. He was supported by the guests of the evening, Mr. and Mrs. J. Powell and the Misses Powell and Mr. Bert Longman. The chairman said that thev had met to honour Mr. Powell, who had for 81 years worked hard in their church, and be (the speaker) hoped he would be as true to,-the cause where he was going. He, as a orother deacon, felt very much the parting from Mr. Powell. Mr. Henry Eynon said that Mr. Powell had worked hard for the church. Miss Powell had rendered valuable seivice as organist, and had attended their services at great inconvenience to herself in fair and foul weather. Mr. Bert Longman was also to be the recip- ient of a present, and he hoped it would remind him always of the chuich and its members. Mr. W. Price was glad to have been present, although lie had a fF>r>hng of re- gret under the circumstances. Tt was Mr. Powell that he met first and received good advice from when he came to Pro- vidence Chapel. He remembered also how willing Miss Powell always was to assist when she was called upon. He trusted that Mr. Lone-m«.-n u-rmiri trusted that Mr. LOTWmJHl u-rmiri lAA1 at the small gift he was being presented WVr aIsTTcomin8' from their hearts. Mr. W. Peters remarked that the large number present showed the high esteem in which Mr. Powell and his family were hel,d. They could ill spare him at the present time, as they would lose the henefitof his valuable advice. He had been superintendent of the Sunday -bchool, and his work in that direction had been to keep up the standard and tradition of the school. Thev were leav- ing with the best wishes of all. Mrs. Black, rising to present Mr. Powell with a handsome barometer, said she was sure they all felt sorry on his departure Their loss would be a gain to tne church where he was going. Mr Powell, responding, spoke with mixed feelings of joy and regret, in ac- cepting the present they had been good enougn to give him. He felt it a difficult task to respond to their kindness. In i..L we course ot nis connection with the cnurch and school he had not done any J thing out of the ordinary, and fell vprv short of ft. ideal. He had speS soml aappy hours m that building. The spontaneous spirit ill which they had made that gift had taken him by sur- prise, and when he looked at the bar- ometer as a chart of the weather he would be thinking of thel, T-Te regret- ted that he had to leave a field of labour where he thought he might have been of some use. He would thank them for their courtesy and kind. sympathy dur- INF/R T TT6 xC had BEEN IN TH&IR midst, I Mr. J. Si. Longman spoke as one who had had a little to do with the church since its foundation, and in making the presentation to Miss Powell of a dressing case, he felt great joy and thankfulness for her splendid services to the church as organist. He felt that their present was not an adequate recognition of the noble work she had done, but he assured her that it represented their heartfelt gratitude. Miss Powell, responding, said that what she had done had not been a bur- den but a duty. She was sorry she was leaving, and thanked them heartily for the beautiful present. Mr. Henry Evans spoke Vfeelingly of his connection with Mr. Powell. He would greatly miss him and Mrs. Powell. Mr. Job Williams said there was no one prouder than he when Mr. Powell came into their midst. He was exceed- ingly sorry to lose the Powell family. Mr. J. Powell made the presentation of a handsome letter rack to Mr. Bert Longman, and in doing so, referred to the work of Mr. Longman as treasurer of the church and his gratuitous, work in erecting the stage for the anniversary. Mr. Bert Longman, responding, ten- dered his heartiest thanks for the gift. Mr. E. J. Edwards made the presenta- tion of a beautiful Bible to Miss Bertha Powell on behalf of her Sunday School Clas. Miss Powell had been a faith- fullmember of his class. Miss Powell thanked the class for her beautiful present. During the evening Messrs. J. H. Long- man, Arthur Hobby, and Wm. Price rendered solos.

Liberal Association.
Liberal Association. APPOINTMENT OF TvVARD REPRESENT ATI VES. A meeting of electors in the Llwydcoed Ward was held in Heolyfelin. Vestry, Tre- cynon, on Friday evening. There was a very good attendance, presided over by lev. J. Grawys Jones. Others present included Councillor M. J. Harris, the con- vener of the meeting; Councillor T. Wal- ter Williams, Revs. J. Morgan, Biyn Seion; W. Cynog Williams, D. Hopkins, Mr. D. Lewis Edmunds, etc. Councillor M. J. Harris explained the object of the gathering He stated that a local Liberal Association was being formed, with representatives thereon from 14 wards—7 wards in Merthyr, 5 in Aber- dare, and 2 in Mountain Ash. He and others had been to London a fortnight ago interviewing Mr. Pease, the Chief Liberal Whip, in reference to a candidate in the place of Mr. D. A. Thomas, M.P. The Whip brought great pressure to bear on Mr. Thomas to go to Cardiff in the inter- ests of Liberalism in that Division, and Mr. Thomas had at last consented. Their task then was to find a suitable man to become a candidate for Merthyr & Aber- dare at the forthcoming General Election. Sir S. T. Evans' name was mentioned by the Chief Liberal Whip, and so they in- terviewed him. The deputation did not commit the Merthyr and Aberdare Bor- oughs in the least. Sir S. T. Evans re- ceived them very favourably, but did not give a definite answer. Even if Sir S. T. Evans would not become the candidate m these Boroughs, he (Mr. Harris) believed they had done some good for him in Mid- Glamorgan. (Applause.) The Rev. J. Grawys Jones remarked that the work of forming a Liberal Asso- ciation was an urgent matter. He did not care to face a General Election with the arrangements incomplete. Since the last Liberal Association was broken up, they had wandered like sheep. He hoped that they would now be gathered together into one harmonious fold. This coming Election would test our Liberalism and our common sense. We must see that the right person was appointed as candi- date, and in the second place we must see that our votes were recorded for that per- son. We must have the best possible can- didate'—a man who understood us and could represent our ideas-a man who would be an honour to Wales, especially to the Division which was once represent- ed by Henry Richard. (Applause.) Mr. T. Walter Williams mo"&ed "That -all present form themselves into a Ward Committee in connection with the Mer- thyr and Aberdare Valleys Liberal Asso- ciation." Mr. D. Lewis Edmunds seconded, and the motion was carried. Councillor Harris explained that they wanted seven persons appointed from each Ward to act on the executive committee. The Chairman suggested, that two be appointed from Trecynon, two from Cwm- dare, one from Llwydcoed, and two from Hirwain. I This course was agreed to. Mr John James was chosen to represent Llwydcoed, and he was also appointed local secretary. Councillors M. J. Harris and T. Walter Williams were selected for Trecynon. Mr. H. H. Evans suggested that a meet- ing be held at Cwmdare to appoint two representing that place. This was ultimately carried. GADLYS WARD. The Gadlys Ward meeting was held in Bethel Vestry on Thursday evening, Mr R. H. Miles presiding. The seven repre- sentatives elected were Messrs. Wm. Jen- kins, Tudor-terrace (chairman), T. Mar- chant Harris, Glan-road (secretary), R. H. Miles, George Powell, Thos. Thomas, Gadlys-street; D. Stephen Davies, Gad- lys-street, and T. Williams, assistant supt. Prudential. Mr. Evan Thomas, Gadlys-street, was appointed treasurer. TOWN WARD. At the Town Ward meeting, held at Carmel Hall on Thursday evening, con- vened by Mr. Morgan Watkins, Rev. J. M.

Death of a Famous Conductor.
Death of a Famous Conductor. The news of the death of Mr. J. Whewall, conductor of the famous North Staffordshire Choir, has come as a shock to the thousands of choristers in the Principality. Only a fortnight ago lie was personally congratulated by Their Majesties the King and Queen after con- dueting a performance at Windsor Castle. fr. Whewall was an especial favourite m W ales, and the presence of his choir at the National Eisteddfod was a guarantee of a strenuous contest. Out of those contests he emerged victorious on many occasions. A curious coinci- dence in the sad affair is that the con- ductor s portrait, made and presented bv Mr- Harris, Triumph Studio-, Aberdare was about to be sent to him. His illness was very short—only a few days after an ujjwauon ior appendicitis. The King and Queen have telegraphed a message of condolence to the widow.

If you suffer thus, commence by taking your tea, coffee, or1 cocoa a little weaker and not so often. Half an hour's walk in the open air daily is essential.
