WET HOLIDAY, LI I, l! Jl.i!! 1.i. I i J17') i I ■am aid Bakers  .d.iM 81  NO PASTRIES. I Owing to the rain, which damped the Ardour of visitors, and the bakers' strike, 1,c sultirig in a shortage of pastries, Swan- yea just escaped establishing a new record j j :11 Bank Holiday celebration. All the rail ways report unusually heavy Taffic. The business on the G. W.R. was equal to the pre-war days, and there- much in advance of any war-day Bank ? Holiday. The Rhondda and Swansea Bay, 1**1 spite of the notice issued on Saturday "Ianaged to get over their troubles, and ?"n a special service of trains which ae- '?nmodat?i 8,0)0 to 9,000. I "LIKE OLD TIMES." "Getting back like old times" is the Report from the L. and N. Western. Re- liof trains were the order of the day, and traffic was well up to the usual before the Ivar. The Mumbles Railway people, however,, Were upset by the five hours of rain. So thev tell mournfully of a poor day, "frhich would have been a record had the leather bt-en fine. But to judge by the Crowded trains, and the liveliness at -tumbles. Lantjland, and Caswell, they did \prv well as it was. Tin; Clyne Valley races attracted a large dumber, and in Swansea itseli, there were the Victoria Park fete and bowls tourna- ment, and the perennial gl-cry of the Sands. A FLYING HOLfDAY. I?t the .tur feature o.f the day was rm- douhted'tv t? A VN aeroplane M?ut?. Tiu-o?out the day the atmosphere -with thowMmngplaMs,ottPn lost to view behind rain clouds, and a Brent throng gathered round the aero- drome. Late in tho day there were a c cries of short {lights, which were itiueh appreciated and very popular, the three planes being kept constantly in motion nnhI a late hour. All the morning, from ten o'clock, the people streamed seawards. The trains Vrere loaded: buses plied between and there was a never-ceasing procession of motor cars, new, old, and nondescript. THE RAIN. Then cyjje the rain. Folk at Caswell v-ore inclined to blame the musician who IlJaJü the welkin ring; but whatever may have been tho cause, rain it certainly ?d; Ho?p, like sugar, cannot stand ccn- ?nal moisture, and as optimism diS-1 s?lYed sc? the people turned faces home- wards. Few had brought raincoats or 1.111hrellas; und new fashions were set on that journey thus:— Mrs. Vere <le Vcre looked charming draped in turkish towelling; Miss lorty- Fo:kow wore a glass cloak as a wrap, the tajider blending well with the trimming li,f her bathing cap. Miss Johones was attired in a erepe-de-chine frod, and the -and fold of her afternoon tea-cloth shawl were N-cry much admired. At least one party, we hear, were- met by a friend or relative with a bundle or "nts. This was Christian charity in- dued I LACK OF PASTRIES. ) Another fly in tho ointment was the lack of pastries, Swansea operative pastry cooks having left work in sympathy with the bakers' strike. -ty tl-ier4- -was good Messrs. R, E, Jones say there -was good business, but uo record, because of the lao!. <.f p?b-?- Otherwis it wou?d have Wn ? record', Folks had to put up with plain bread and butter with plates of ham, but the management expresses 1t¿f.]f as more than satisfied." We had a surprise packet," says Mr. Pidnev Palmer. T and my demobilised officer sons started work at 12.30 a.m on Monday. so as to provide for the incom- ing visitors, and I am glad to say We were enabled to cope with the great bulk of customers we had to deal with." QUEUES OUTSIDE CAFES. Queues were waiting outside each of our cafes, waiting to he served, and we imnaged to fserve as many as possible. It wnuld have been a record day hut for the takers' strike, but I am glad to hear this morning that this strike is likely to bo of hut short duration." ENTERTA! K!M R" nn WELL, What is one caterer's poison is another's meat, for the rain drove im incase crowds to the Empire, theatre, and picture palaces, which m every instance provided for just a.s many people as could get in to th" various houses. The house full bill was in constant use, here and with the All Sir Garnet" party in .V ictoria Park. AMMANFORD SPORTS. 1 Horse, foot and uhipoet races were run in the Recreation Grounds, Amman- ford, on Saturday. The Australian u,-i- nor, C. J.

NEATH OPEN-AIR TOURNAMENT. I An open-air boxing tournament was held at Neath on Saturday, and at- tracted a good deal of interest. ?he promoters were Sergt.-major Tom Bate? and Mr. Lou Lovatt. Tb2 referee v as ,¡.'IiI'. Hayd Morgan (Caniifn, and the I M.C. was Mr. W. J. Cooper. Results: I Gunboat Baker (Giyn-Noath) beat T. J. Mainwaring (Pontardawe) on points in a ten-round- contest. Young Davies (Llanelly) beat Ben Jenkins (Neath) on points in a sparkling ten-round contest. In a ten-round contest between Tommy Lodge (^eath) and Young Trot- man (Gwaun-cae-Gurwen), the Neath lad proved too clever for his opponent, tnd in the third round Trotman's seconds threw the towel into the ring. The star eontcst was a twenty-round I two-minute contest between "Tommy I Phillips (Neath) and Danny Arthurs I (A berdare). Both are claimants for the light-weight championship of Great Britain. Scoring heavily in the1 fifth round, Tommy Phillips maintained. the lead to the end and was cieelared the winner amidst enthusiasm. ) I PORT TALBOT. Rossi Retires in the Seventh Round. The New Theatre, Port Taibot, was I packed on Saturday night, when a num- ber cf interesting boxing contests were I staged, refereed by Mr. Haydn Morgan, Cardiff. The principal bou of 15 thrE;û-minute 'I rounds between Waller Rossi (Ponty- pridd) and Billy B?yuon <'L'ib a ch) ønd:d I abruptiy in the seventh r imd, when Rossi retired io?owing a ngorous blow I to the jaw through which one of his back teeth was knocked down his throat. Beynon, who on the whole had the better of things, was declared the winner. A spirited 10-round contest between Will Landeg (Aberavon) and Emlyn Jen- kins (Caerau) was dedared a draw, as was also a four round bout between Victor Hope (Aberavon) and Harold James (Taibach), two promising lads who made their first appearance. In the semi-final for the amateur championship, in which a cup was ¡ offered, Phil Davies (Neath) beat Will I Jenkins (Aberavon), and E. T. Lanernce boxes a bye with Evan Hopkins (Brvn). In the final Davies 'ns declared the winner 'after a vigorous fight. Davies, who possesses a particularly dangerous I left, had boxed consistently throughout I the competition. I LLANELLY. I Two applications were granted by the I Llanelly Borough Council for the use cf the Market Hail for boxing tourna- ments, one being for Mr. A. Hayward, and the other for Mr. W. T. Morris, chairman of the Llanelly Association football Club. HOLIDAY CRICKET. j i CARDIFF ii. SWANSEA. I There was a somewhat remarkable and I unsatisfactory ending to the Cardiff v. Swansea match on the Cardiff Arms i Park on Monday. It had been arranged that stumps should be drawn at a quarter past six, and five or six minutes before that time was reached Rooney and Stephens, two of the Cardiff bats- men, were playing with the utmost vigour in the hope of passing the Swan- sea total, which was well within sight, when, wt ten past six, the former was caught, with Cardiff wanting but 17 runs to win, and with five wickets in hand. The Cardiff umpire, however, pulled up the stumps, and the match thus ended, five minutes before the time arranged, in a drawn game. Play throughout the day was materially inter- fered with by the showers of rain. Scores:— SWANSEA. J. R. Tait, c Robotham, b Nash. 51 P. Morris, c Robotham, b Chand- lea 1 H. W.

Z £ ZL - :^—— A BRILLIANT…
Z £ ZL — — A BRILLIANT BAND. Regent Hall Combination at Swansea. Swansea people have had the pleasure of hearing the famous Regent Hall Sal- vation Army Band play during the week- end. The splendid combination per- formed under the able leadership of Con- ductor Herbert W. Hilchen, who him- self is a really line cornet player. The programmes have been very pleasing, es- pecially that rendered at the Central Hall on Saturday evening last. The Musical 'Festival, as it was rightly termed, opened with a swinging- march, "Stand to Arms," rendered with full effect by the band, which is very strong numerically, comprising some forty in- strumentalists. Then followed a part- &ong entitled March On by some of the bandsmen. The selection, Rejoie- j ing in the Lord," followed, and their Bandmaster Jlitchen came into the pic- ture with the cornet solo Rule Brit- annia," which gave us a hint as to his power of execution. In reply of repeated demands Bandmaster ITitclyen compro- mised by promising an encore later, as the programme was a very full one. After the selection. Swiss Melodies," a diver- sion was created by Adjutant Gilbert, -who sana a solo composed by himself en- titled "Welcome to the Boys back from Military Service." with a rolHcking re- train snng-w-ith great gusto by the bands- men. Then came bugle calls by fire band members, Welsh Melodic." part scng "The Old Pink Band," all splen- didly given and well taken. The next item on the programe was a cornet duet, Irish Melody," but the chairman (Councillor F. J. Parker), announced that owing to an oversight the music had I not arrived at the hall. In order, how- ever, not to disappoint the audience, Bandmaster Hitchen decided to substi- tute an item irom the Elysium pro- ?lammc, Musical Thoughts." This re- markable pGriormance received great ap- preciation-which it deserved, see3ng that "dr. Hitchen not only, manipulated lu, cornet with skilrul dexterity, but alsO accompanied himself with nne effect on the piano. Alter the selection "Heavenly Treasure" and a short addrjess upon lessons drawn from the Psalms, the pro- gramme was brought to a conclusion with Eventide, a selection which gives scope to the resonant bass of which 1110 band has such a wealth. It is interesting to noke tha. upon the I occasion of the death, of the Kin". Edward the baud wa<> granted the privi- lege of playing in the courtyard of  bückmgham Paiace.

THE EMPIRE.I
THE EMPIRE. I A Ne-w Revue Presented at I Swansea. Of every ten De CourvKl e revues nine are hopeless failures, yet their producer keeps on carrying on," and at spasmodic intervals there is forced upon a long suffering public another de Coiirvilie success." A few weeks ago Swansea Empire audiences saw one of the worst of these productions. This week—and it is a pleasure to say this—there is staged one of th? most diverting that we have seen for a long time. Keep 'em Aliye" is the title, and from the first minute -to the last the fun• is fast and furious. -O n Monday iiicrh", ak each of the two per- formanose, there was a record attendance, and the attraction deserves a record euc- cess from the box-office point of view. The scenery M gorgeous, the dresses de- lightful, and the chorus appears to be far ahead of tho-se of other revues. The cast generally is a strong one. It is to Jack Gallagher, however, tha.t almost all the praise mus!, go. He kept the house rocking with laughter throughout, and made every possible use of the scope afforded him. A delightful number is Land where the good songs go," eung by Louie Beckman and Frank Martyn, and the novel w en a here is distinct, y good. We can warmly recommend the production to all our readers.
