Ystrad Bridget Utigation, A Rhondda District Council's Appeal. The Lord Chancellor, Lords Halsbury, Ashbourne and Macnaghten, resumed in the House of Lords on Thursday last the further consideration of the appeal of the Rhondda Urban District Council v. the TaS Vale Railway Company, the question having relation to the widening of a. bridge carrying a, public road over the Rhondda branch of the TaN Vale Railway near Ystrad. The appellants state they are entitled to require the .respondents. to widen the bridge from 18 to 25 feet. In the exer- cise of their powers, the respondents diverted or stopped up the old Ton road and constructed a, new road leading outt of the main road, and carried it first over the river Rhondda by a bridge, and then over the line of the branch raihvay by another bridge, and thence into the line of the old Ton road. The railway bridge, which was 18ft. wide between the fences, complied with the provisions of the Act of 1836, but did not comply with the provisions of the Railway Clause Act, 1845. Mr Justice Phillimore had held that the Railway Company were bound, under the Act of 1845, to widen the bridge proper. The Court of Appeal reversed this decision. Mr. Levett, K.O., for the respondents, now argued that upon a true construc- tion of the Railway Clauses Act, 1845, a bridge did not include the approaches, and that the river bridge was not part of the railway bridge. The Lord Chancellor gave judgment on the nrat question. He thought Section 50 of the Act of 1845 applied and that the width must be 25 feet wide. No doubt the case had been involved in a coil of argument relating, not merely to the clauses, but to successive interpreta- tions put upon them by various judges, who had considered them, and so verbal controversy had bred verbal controversy. The real question was whether the pro- visions of Section 69 of the Act of 1836 were inconsistent with the provisions of Section 50 of the Act of 1845. He thought the provisions were consistent. L Halsbury, ÅshJbloutrlleri and Macnaghten concurred. Mr. Upjohn then proceeded to argue the second question whether the appell- ants could also require the respondents to widen the approaches to the railway bridge and also the bridge carrying the road over the Rhondda river, either as part of the railway bridge or as part of the approaches. The further hearing was adjourned. a.

Shots for GoaL An Ynyshir correspondent writes us: — It is a great shame that the Ynyshir Albions are accused of not being sportsmen enough to take a defeat, also with gambling and wanting to fight, thus causing obstruction in the street. As regards the defeats, they must put up with them; none of the players gamble on the results, whilst as to obstructing, the police would see to that. It is better for a dog to bark before it bites than be collared by its betters." A Pencoed correspondent contributes some interesting notes on the Llwynypia v. Pencoed match at Llwynypia on Thursday last. Having to make the journey without three of their regular players, says our correspondent, P'encoed had to rely on the services of three good substitutes picked up at Llwynypia.

Treorchy Electors Awakening. Formation of Ratepayer's Association. A meeting of Treorchy and Cwmparc Ratepayers, was held at the Old Boys' School, Treorchy, on Wednesday evening of last week, Mr. Daniel Thomas (Iron- monger) presiding. The Auditor's report on the nuances of the Rhondda District Council again came utnder -discussion, and It was resolved to form a. Ratepayer's Association for the district, with Mr. C. P. Davies as secre- tary, pro tern. Discussing the forth- coming District Council Election, Mr. C. P. Davies said that a change in the pre- sent representation was highly desirable. Mr. W. P. Thomas represented the Ocean Colliery, Mr. W. T. Jones, the Aber- gorky Colliery, whilst Dr. Tribe princi- pally represented the same colliery. He did not object to one representative from the colliery companies, but ne certainly believed that the tr!adesipeopl!e< ahouM have another representative, and the masses a third.

Sports of the Week. Football. YNYSHIR JUNIORS Igl., TREHAFOD JUNIORS 0. This match was played at Ynyshir on Saturday last. Ynyshir started opera- tions and soon pressed, Bloomneld shoot- ing ovef. Trehafod afterwards had a fan- share of the game, but the Juniors' goalie kept them out, and the interval arrived with no score. Poor play was the order of the second half, but Ynyshir scored through Rich- ards. Osborne played a, great game for Trehafod, whilst Jarman, Walters, and Phillips were the pick of the homesters. LLWYNYPIA THURSDAYS Opts., PENCOED 3. Played on the De Winton Field on Thursday last, llth inst. A very fast and exciting game ended in a win for the Thursdays by two tries to one. Chatterton scored for Pencoed, Evans and A. Wil- liams doing the trick for the Thursdays. The Pencoed forwards were? great, and upset the opposition time after time. In fact. they played a, good game and were decidedly unlucky to lose. A draw would have been a more satisfactory result. TREHAFOD JUNIORS 3gls., PONTY- PRIDD UNITED 1. The above teams met on Saturday last in the semi-nnal round for the Lewis Merthyr Charity Cup, which ts now held by the Juniors. Considering the counter- attraction—the big match at Swansea— and the important Soccer match at Mid- Rhondda., it is surprising what a large number of spectators assembled to witness the game. ,Mr. Tom Owen, of Cardiff, refereed the match. Trehafod winning the toss, they seized the opportunity of playing with the wind the first half, during which they played with such determination as to completely demoralise their opponents. With swift passing movements and kicking, with almost mathematical precision. But the defence of the Ponty boys wast better than their attack. Changing ends made very little differ- ence, for the Juniors—who were ha vino- a red-letter day"—still kept their attack, and after brilliant and really skilful play, defeated their opponents by 3 goals to 1. The goal scorers were Ted Reynolds. W. J. Roberta and Evan Wil- liams, while Fred Evans scored for the United. TREHERBERT 13pts., MERTHYR 3. One of the greatest surprises of the football season was the sensational defeat of Merthyr at the hands of Treherbert on Saturday at Treherbert. Merthyr nelded a full team, and Treherbert were strengthened by the inclusion of Abe Evans. The home team faced the wind in the initial half, and for a time play r'anged from one end of the field to the other. Treherbert roused up suddenly, and through a good combined movement by forwards and three-quarters, play was soon carried to the Merthyr line. A big struggle here ensued, and Dun can got over in the melee. Fitzgerald failed with the kick. Merthyr next attacked and reached the home line. Treherbert .retaliated excellently, and Duncan, taking the ball, ran half the length of the field. The movement was carried on by the for- wards, who dribbled the ball over the line with perfect judgment, where J. Thomas fell on. it, scoring Treherbert'a second try. Scenes' of wildest) enthusiasm greeted this success, and the cheering was resumed when Duncan converted with a neat kick. This gave Treherbert a lead of eight points at the interval. On resuming, Merthyr made strenuous attacks on the home* defence, but the keen tackling was too much for the attack. Their efforts were eventually rewarded when the Merthyr left wing raced over in the corner with a try, which Syd James failed to convert. The hot pace of the game now began to tell on the players, who gave visible evidences of tiring. Treherbert again added to their score through. D. H. Edwards, who followed up a kick smartly, and taking advantage of a fumble by the visitors' custodian, ran in behind the posts, for Duncan to convert. The enthusiasm of the spectators new knew no bounds, for after this the game seemed quite safe for Tr&herbert. COMMENTS. Treherbert deserved to win, for on the day's form they were by far the better team. As on the day when they played the Australians, the team seemed to be charged with an irresistible dash which swept all before it. The, home forwards were not to be compared with the visit- ing pack as regards weight and size, but in the open the Treherbert pack forced the pace. The passing of the Merthyr quartet was always slow and ineffective, so that the keen defence of the homesters was quite able to cope with it. Merthyr lacked the sting which Treherbert seemed to have hired for the day and introduced into their attacking movements.
-Shots for GoaL
Great disappointment was felt when it was known that T. Evans, the C'ardiS reserve centre, was unable to play owing to an injury he received to his knee whilst playing in the J. Pbwell charity match at Merthyr the previous Monday. In the nrst half there was no scoring, but the visitors had much the best of the game, and had hard lines in not scoring many times. --+-- In the second half Pen coed scored early after a good rush by the forwards, but failed to add the extra points. The visit- ing pa.ck deserve a, word of praise, as they were much younger than the Llwynypia eight. --+-- J. Williams, at inside-half, played a good defensive game, and stopped the homesters' halves from getting away on many occasions. Williams, however, missed his co-partner, B. Le(yshon, in attack. R. Chatterton, D. GriSiths and J. Cooper, among the threes," played a. sound game. Of the "subs," Bateman was the best, playing a, great game at full-back. Pencoedians, continues our correspon- dent, are proud of their team. They have played against such well-known, teams a? Penygraig, Llwynypia. United, Llwynypia, Thursdays, Neath 2nds, Briton Ferry, and Penarth Reserves, and when it is remembered that they have not lost by more than five points in any of these matches, their pride is well justified. --+-- Trehafod Juniors experienced a red- letter day on Saturday. -+-- They were evidently out for the day, judging by their attack. With every match. the tramcar driver (Moulder) seems to be adding fresh laurels to his fame. Undoubtedly centre-half is his proper position on the neld. Moulder will yet be seen driving the hall" for the First Division in South Wales. What he lacks in speed is made up by his precise kicking and wonderful con- ception of the game. Reynolds, though fairly good, does not shine as a right wing. He plays to better advantage as half- back, and should therefore not be changed too often or he may deteriorate. --+-- Young Roberts, probably known better as Two-foot "—he is such a midget-is a half-back of exceptional merit. West, Ponty's winger, was completely bamed by him on Saturday. --+-- His every movement was nullified by Roberts. It is quite safe to say that in the Junior League there is not another two- foot to equal young W. J. Though a "two-footer," he is by no means a double jay. Keats, the Juniors' goalie, is maping rapid progress, and is well able to safe- guard their interest between the posts. His ability 'Wlas thoroughly tested on Saturday, for at some periods of the game scoring seemed inevitable, but Keats was not found wanting. West, for Pontypridd United—the one- arm exponent of the*gamek was no doubt the finest player on the Ponty side. Dai Evans, their full-back, is really a hustler, but should not indulge too freely in elbow movements. Several players were stretched out on Saturday by this too frequent trick. Perth Reserves, who have made them- selves notorious among junior footballers, were very neatly beaten by Ferndale. --+-- Having won all their League matches away, they were very much disappointed with this result. Still, they are not dis'- couraged, for if they win the next four matches the League medals will be won. Treherbert Ex-Schoolboys are un- defeated so far. They played a. return match at BIaengwynn on Saturday and were victors by a try—scored by F. Raymond. This is about the smartest little team Treherbert has placed in the field for some time. The Athletic team did well to draw with Cilfynydd Ex-Schoolboys (champions of Old Boys' League) on the Cricket Field on Saturday. The Athletics set up a stern and determined fight, and it was only bad luck that robbed them of one or two tries, which, although apparently fairly scored, were- disallowed. A regrettable incident In the game was the ordering off" of two opposing players, but we blame the Cilfynydd man for striking the nrst blow. Retaliation was bound to follow. We hope to see less of this In future, and would much prefer witnessing a clean sportsmanlike game. We appeal to young men to play the "man," not the "brute." Duncan and Abe Evans were the shining lighta for Treherbert against Merthyr on Saturday. Dai Galloway was also In fine form. We trust that Tre- herbert N.U. will retain Saturday's form for the rest of the season.
