Tonypandy Result. What is the result, here in Tonypandy P We have heard the good news from neighbouring towns, but somehow nothing has just the same weight with us as the result in our home town. A Tonypandy result like the following, however, must impress us all. Mr. T. Taylor, of 50, Ely Street, Tony- pandy, says:—"I had been subject to kidney and bladder complaint for a couple of years, on and off. At times I was hardly able to pass the kidney secretions, which caused a scalding pain, and were discoloured and contained a sandy sub- stance. My back was so bad that I have s been off work for four days at a time. At my won: as a miner I am mostly always stooping, and it is bad to have anything the matter, especially with the back. The doctor's medicine did not seem to do me good, but the first box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills eased the bladder trouble splendidly I was able to pass the secretions more freely, and they were clearer. The backache became less severe, too, and I am glad to say that four boxes of Doan's pills cured me. I am not troubled now. I can well recommend the pills. (Signed) Thomas Taylor." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr. Taylor, had. 4905b

Ferndale. A very successful social was held at the Lesser Hall of the New Workmen's Institute, Ferndale, on Friday evening, under the auspices of the Casey Boys," to commemorate the winding up of the club after another successful session. The catering was excellently done by Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Rees, caretakers of the Insti- tute. After the boys had done justice to a capital "spread," a programme of music was then submitted, under the able chairmanship of Mr. Tom Howells. A most pleasing item was Shamrock," sung in splendid fashion by Mr. Evan Evans, Blaenllechau. Several other mem- bers contributed solos, duets and trios. An enjoyable evening was brought to a close by the singing of "#ø\uld Lang Syne." Messrs. D. J. Roberts, Evan Evans and Brinley Rees accompanied.

Porth Carnival. Route of Procession. Councillor W. T. Davies presided over a very large attendance of the Porth Carnival and Sports Committee on Friday evening last. After referring very sympathetically to the sad and premature death of the Hon. C. S. Rolls, England's foremost aviator, Councillor Davies moved that a vote of condolence from that Committee be for- warded to Lord and Lady Llangattock in their great bereavement. Mr. Davies also announced that the Porth and Rhondda Skating Rink would be opened on the day of the carnival, and that all the proceeds were to be handed over to the Carnival and Sports Committee. (cheers). But upon the day of the sports the Rink would be closed (loud cheers). He hoped, however, that no one would inform" Gwmbwrla" of that (loud laugh- ter). The Secretary then announced that the route of the carnival would be from Porfh to Dinas, cross over to Trealaw, down Cemetery Road, up to Ynyshir and back, down North Road to the Imperial Hotel, and up through Hannah Street. Several letters were read from ladies and gentlemen assuring the Committee of their support and hearty co-operation, and promising to be present to assist in the judging of the various events. On Saturday afternoon, the Committee were photographed at the Porth Lawn Tennis Court.

WelshmenlBid Scot Good-bye. I Presentation to Mr. W. W. Pratt Wattstown, I It k not given to many men to receive a send-off of such heartiness and sincerity as that accorded to the above-named gentleman last week. Mr. Pratt is a Scotsman who fully sustains his country- men's reputation as engineers. Coming to Wattstown a matter of about five or six years ago on construction work as a representative of Messrs. Bruce, Peebles and Co., who had the contract of laying the electrical plant at the National Col- lieries, he quickly made a number of friends. At the completion of the work, Mr. Pratt accepted the offer of the posi- tion of electrical engineer for the Watte- town Collieries. His work was evidently quite satisfactory, as he held the position up to the time of his voluntarily relin- quishing it about a month ago to take up an appointment in Western Canada. Among his colleagues on the official staff and amongst all other sections of the com- munity he enjoyed a splendid popularity. Although quite a young man, he is looked upon as a clever engineer, and is withal of an unassuming nature. At Porth, too, especially in those circles connected with the Porth Cottage Hospital Carnival, he was greatly liked, and the Carnival Coig, mittee has lost an enthusiastic member.' The presentation meeting, which took place at the Butcher's Arms Hotel, Wattstown, was the culmination of a movement the early, departure of its object making necessary greater haste than usual. The concert room, which was prettily decorated, was filled with a large and interested audience thoroughly repre- sentative of the community. Mr. S. G. Clissold (mechanical engi- neer) presided, and in a pleasing speech dwelt on the object of the meeting and on the event they were so interested in. Mr.. Clissold was supported by Mr. H. J. Nisbett, the general manager of the Rhondda Tramways Mr. George Roddy, traffic manager, Rhondda Tramways; Mr. M, Kane, the treasurer of the move- ment Messrs. Lewis Rees and David Thomas, the secretaries. Mr. Clissold made the formal presen- tation of a handsome case of instruments, suitably inscribed. He would, he said, have considered Mr. Pratt's friends in Wattstown, including himself, very defi- cient had they allowed him to go with- out in some way showing a mark of their esteem (applause). It gave him great pleasure to present the article on behalf of the friends in Wattstown and Porth. They all certainly regretted that Mr. Pratt was leaving them. He hoped the present would prove a delight to him and to his family, when he came to have one (laughter and applause). Mr. H. J. Nisbett, in a very able speech, punctuated by applause, said that having gone past the position of being a stranger to these events, it made him feel rather old when he dwelt on the number he had participated in. It was usually the case that a man was going to better himself, and he believed, and cer- tainly hoped, that Mr. Pratt was making a wise step (hear, hear). He was going to a country which, from an electrical point of view, had vast possibilities. He sincerely hoped Mr. Pratt would not forget his friends in Wattstown (hear, hear). Fortunately, Canada was being developed by British blood and sinew, and it was pleasing to think that when a man went there from this country he was not really going to a new place. Continuing, Mr. Nisbett said that electrical engineers were always on good terms with the men, in consequence of the fact that they started their careers with the men as apprentices, and therefore had a thorough knowledge of them. He believed Mr. Pratt would be a benefit to the new country, and wished him every success (cheers). Mr. Pratt was cheered when he rose to reply. When he first thought of leaving Wattstown, he said, he intended going away as quietly as he came. When he came and saw Wattstown, he determined he would not stay beyond a few weeks, but it had extended into years, and he was to-day very loth to leave (hear, hear). His friends had different views about his leaving, and when he heard that they were arranging a send-off for him, he never for a moment anticipated that he would be treated anything like this. He had found real friends in Wattstown, but it was only now that he was leaving that he realised how true and deep was the friendship extended to him, and it was now he found who were the truest and most substantial friends. He thanked them all from the innermost depths of his heart for the way they had treated him. He did not believe he was leaving behind him a single real enemy. Of course, like every other man, he had par- ticular friends, and he would like to state how deeply grateful he was to men like Mr. Kane and Mr. Rees, who had done so much to make his stay a pleasant and happy one. Mr. M. Kane then rose to makei Mr. Pratt the presentation of a purse of gold. In a felicitous speech, Mr. Kane said the meeting spoke volumes for the esteem in which Mr. Pratt was held. He was proud that he was one of the first in the place I to take Mr. Pratt by the hand and call him friend, and he had never for a moment cause to regret having done so Mr. G. Roddy, in a genial manner, (applause). supported, and declared it an honour for him to take part in the proceedings. Mr. Pratt was one of the first gentlemen he knew when he (the speaker) first came into the place, and he had noticed how then and ever since he had been an en- thusiastic and earnest member of the Porth Cottage Hospital Carnival Commit- tee (hear, hear). He wished Mr. Pratt good health and as many friends in Canada as he had in Porth and Watts- town (applause). After an inspiriting rendering of "Annie Laurie" by Mr. Arthur Thomas, Mr. Pratt briefly but feelingly responded. On the motion of Mr. Lewis Rees, the meeting's heartiest thanks were accorded to Mr. Nisbett and Mr. Roddy for their presence. Votes of thanks to the chairman brought a. most interesting meeting to a close. A choice selection of vocal items was contributed by local artistes during the proceedings.

Gwalia Touring Club. At a social evening held by the above club at the Gwalia Restaurant on Friday evening last, over which Mr. D. Hopkins presided, Messrs. I. Taylor and J. Turner, secretary and treasurer respectively, were each presented v/ith a valuable clock for services rendered during the past year. A very enjoyable evening was spent, the following: contributing to the programme: -Messrs. W. Thomas, J. Lewis, B. Irish, W. D. Jones, J. Turner, Will Stephens, J. Walters, and J. Thomas. Hearty votes of thanks were accorded- the chair- man, and host and hostess. On the fol- lowing day the club proceeded to Paris and Boulogne.

O CRICKET. O FERNDALE v. MOUNTAIN ASII. The Ferndale Firsts engaged Mountain Ash on Saturday with a very disorganised team. The Ferndalians played four of the second eleven, whilst Mount were at full strength. The previous encounter this season between these teams at the Darran Grounds resulted in a draw owing to time, and Saturday's match was a repetition. The homesters batted first against the bowling of Thomas and Davies, and after two hours' batting the score only reached 65. Ferndale, with only an hour and a quarter to bat, made 55 for nine wickets, and had to draw stumps owing to time. Scores — Mountain Ash.—W. G. Evans, lbw, b Thomas, 7; A. Holloway, run out, 6; H. G.

FERNDALE 2nds v. MOUNTAIN ASH 2nds. This friendly match was played on the Darran Grounds, Ferndale, on Saturday last, in fair weather, on a rather slow wicket. The visitors have only been beaten once this season, and that was by Ferndale at "Mount." On Saturday, the Rhondda boys again proved them- selves far superior in their batting, bowling and fielding, and piled a score of 157 against 54. Frank Williams and J. J. Hayes started operations for the homesters. Runs came quick, 53 being scored for the loss of one wicket. Frank Williams played a faultless game and scored 63, which included three 6's, eight 4's, one 2, and eleven singles. Tommy Short, the Ferndale! captain, made a very lucky 50. He also hit two 6's, seven 4's, and ten singles. For the Mounts D. H. Price played a good game, although he only made 5 runs, but gave a good exhibition of safe batting. D. Masters was their only player to make any score, which score included five boundaries. Tommy Short was the only bowler of note on the field. He took three wickets at the cost of 6 runs. The home seconds have only been beaten once this season, viz., by Pontypridd. Scores:;— Ferndale 2nds.-J. J. Hayes, o Gibson, b T. Hughes, 9; Frank E:. Williams, run out, 63; L. Hannon, b T.

The above teams played a League match on the Ynys Park, Ton, on Satur- day. The homesters started disastrously, five of their wickets falling for only 4 runs against the bowling of Dai Galloway and W. J. Edwards. Treherbert batted evenly, and defeated their opponents with three wickets in hand W. J. Gruar and Alf. Williams (not out) scored 18 and 16 runs respectively. The former made one beautiful hit clean out of the field for 6 off Lum Roderick, whilst the latter hit two balls out of the field for 4's. The fielding of both teams was very fine, and the game, on the whole, was a most plea- sant one. Scores: Maindy a.C.-F. O. Steer, b W. J. Edwards, 0; B. Morgan, b D. Galloway, 0; D. Rees, b D.

This match was played on the Darran Lake Grounds, Ferndale, on Thursday last on a very soft wicket. E. W. Thomas and W. Brown started batting for the homesters, and quickly put on a iiseful score of 80 before either was dismissed. Aaron Edwardw next partnered Thomas, and again runs came A very fast, both players completely mastering the bowling of Tiffin and Isles. H. A. Morgans also played well for the homesters and scored 17 runs. After the Ferndalians, had de- clared for 166 runs for nine wickets, the Pentre Boys started operations against the deadly attack of E. W. Thomas and Brown, • and eight of their wickets fell for nought. Tiffin proved the best bowler for the visitors with seven wickets to his credit. Scores: Ferndale Thursdays.—E. W. Thomas, b Tiffin, 53; W. Brown, b Isles, 38; W. Rackham. b Tiffin, 0: Aaron Edwards, c and b Johns, 33; H. A. Morgans, b Tiffin, 17; J. T. Burrell, not out, 4; D. J. Roberts, c Johns, b Tiffin, 3; J.

Football at Treherbert. Amateur Team for Next Season. At the Bute Hotel, Treherbert, on Wednesday evening, a public meeting was called to consider the advisability of re-starting an Amateur Rugby team at Treherbert. There was a very good at- tendance when Mr. Wm. Glass was voted to the chair. After a few preliminary remarks, the Chairman calfecl upon Mr. Sid,. Main- waring to give an account of what had been done in the direction of forming a club. Mr. Mainwaring said that two meet- ings had already been held. They had approached the Treherbert Athletic Syndicate with regard to having the use of their ground during the ensuing season, and he was glad to be able to say that definite terms had been arranged that day. Mr. D. Hughes pointed out that for- merly the Syndicate wished to confine the use of the grounds to the premier team and their reserves. They thought that ini this they would be restricted too much, because most of the Treherbert players had been captured by professionalism, ancfr it would be necessary for the Treherbert Amateurs to foster the junior teams whicH might be formed in the locality. In con- sideration of this, he was pleased to say that the Syndicate had withdrawn their restriction. Mr. Vaughan Reynolds also spoke. ITO said his ambition had always been to do all he could for local amateur football clubs. He regretted that a Northern Union team had ever been formed at Treherbert. When the N.U. club waS first formed, he had predicted that it would never pay in a district witli such a small population as that of Treherbert, and they all knew how very true his pro- phecy had become. For the last fifteen years he had been a staunch supporter of the Treorchy R.F.C., and now he was going to do his best for Treherbert. My" Sid Mainwaring was undouhtedlv one of the best football secretaries Wales had ever produced, and if the Treherbert en- thusiasts would only rally round the sec- retary, whoever he might be, there would be no difficulty in raising a team which would be as good, if not better than anY, which had existed at Treherbert. He had great pleasure in proposing that ani Amateur Rugby football club be formed at Treherbert for next season. This was seconded by P.O. Owen, and carried unanimously. The question of headquarters was deferred to a future meeting. Mr. Sid Mainwaring was elected secretary pro tern, the election of the season's officers being postponed until the next meeting, which will be held at the Smith's Arms Hotel during the coming week.

Lawn Tennis. PONTARDAWE v. LLWYNYPIA 2nds. This match was played upon the Llwynypia Ground on Thursday of last week, and was semi-final of the Welsh Lawn Tennis Association (Third Division). Llwynypia 2nds did very well in the first and second rounds, and it is no disgrace that they were beaten by Pontardawe, which was in the Second Division last season. The scores were: — H. W. Graham and J. Davies (Llwyny- pia) won one event, lost one, and had one unfinished. Ken. Richards and Ivor Jones (Llwyny- pia) lost two events and had one UIP" finished. Andrew Powell and J.
