Treorchy Football Club.
Treorchy Football Club. The Cardiff First Team paid Treorchy the oompliment of a. fixture on Wednes- day last, when the latter wound up the season. The match resulted in an eight- point victory for Cardiff, tries being scored by Birch and Reardon, and Mithan con- Yerting the former's try. Later in the evening, Treorchy enter- tained the Cardiffians to a banquet at the Treorchy Hotel, after which a meeting was held. Mr. W. H. Jones (cashier at the Aber- gorchy Collieries), who presided, referred to the incidents which characterised the Pontypridd v. Treorchy match early in the season, and which led to the suspen- sion of the Treorchy ground. What he wanted to point out was that those inci- dents were exaggerated, and as a public man he would say that the Press reports did Dot fairly represent what actually took place (hear, hear). P.S. Wm. Spiller (captain of the Car- diff team) presented certificates of merit to the Treorchy captain, Mr. Daly James. at the request, of the chairman. In the course of an address, Mr. Spiller con- gratulated the captain, and said he was glad that Rugby enthusiasts at Treorchy regarded ''their Daly" as an idol quite so much as the. Cardiff team regarded "their Bobby William*" la* an idol (cheers). He, for one, would be very pleased to arrange homo and home fix- tures with Treorchy as well as other teams, but there were substantial reasons for their refusal. The Cardiff team re- ceived applications galore from outside teams, and to accept them all would mean that their fixture list would carry them into two seasons without a break. As for the playing of the Treorchy team, he was proud to say none of the Cardiff team was ever afraid of visiting them. It was not within their knowledge that Treorchy played so roughly as was some- times assumed. He wished the Rhondda men every success (applause). Mr. Hart, a Cardiff committeeman, fol- lowed in a similar strain, and additional addresses were delivered by Mr. Mithan, Cardiff, amongst others. During the evening, an excellent musical programme was gone through. Among the contributors of solos were several members of the Cardiff team, and Messrs. David Evans (baritone). Will Evans (Treherbert). and Jack Granfield. Votes of thanks to the guests, artistes, chairman, host and hostess (Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Newman), and the accompanist (Mr. Dick "Walters) were enthusiastically ac- • corded before the close. The secretarial duties were discharged by Mr. Will Lewis, Ramah Cottages. I
Mid-Rhondda A F C
Mid-Rhondda A F C The first annual meeting of the Mid- Rhondda A.F.C., held at the Dunraven Hotel, Tonypandy. on Thursday evening, was' a great success, and the speeches were full of hope for the future. Mr. Leonard Llewelyn, M.E., Glyncornel, was to have presided, but in his absence the chair was taken by Mr. R. R. Williams, chairman of the directors. Mr. Llewelyn was represented by Mr. T. D. Lawrence, his private secretary. Proposing the toast of The Directors," Mr. W. Williams (chairman of the Sup- porters' Club) promised that he would, with odeFThembers, do something during the summer months to improve the ground (applause). Mr. Dan Charles, responding, said he and his co-directors would not rest until the Mid-Rhondda Club was a First. Divi- sion team (loud applause). He was glad to be able to say that they had finished up as well as they had began the season (applause). Bv next season there would be club dressing rooms, &-c., on the ground wiear, hear). Mr. R. R. Williams also responding. said that he for one did not wish to see a. dividend while there was anything they could do to better the team (applause). The great object they had in view was to give the public a clean and good sport (hear, hear). Mr. R. J. Meadows (T.V.R.) proposed "The Team and Trainer," and Mr. Archie Annan, the player-manager, in respond- ing. paid a glowing compliment to the players for their sportsmanlike play and ability, and he administered some sound advice with regard to training. Mr Sam Collins, trainer, also identified himself with the toast.
Treherbert.I
Treherbert. I It is stated that of late employment has been given at the local collieries to workmen hailing from neighbouring dis- tricts. This indicates that the colliery developments at Treherbert are proceed- ing apace. The majority of the workmen in this district accept the opinion ex- pressed by a certain miners' leader that a non-Unian workman is as bad as a tyrannical employer. Hopes are high that the non-Unionist question will be com- pletely conquered as a result of the cur- rent camapign.

I fold, him to leave, as he had had enough. He said, I will go as soon as 1 finish this half-pint.' Evans afterwards left the premises. Defendant" said that Evans came to the hotel about six o'clock. He had no money, having been idle in consequence of an accident for three months. Witness did not serve him, but requested him to leave, as he was annoying the other customers. He left the room, and witness thought ne had left the hotel. The Stipendiary observ-cd that defen- dant had created a very unfavourable im- pression on the minds of the magistrates. They thought, however, that it was a case of over-indulgence to an old man whom defendant had known for years. The man was allowed to remain too long. Under the circumstances a fine of 20s. only, in- cluding costs, would be imposed. Humphrey Evans was charged with being drunk on licensed premises. Addressing him the Stipendiary re- marked You are an old man; but tor your craving for drink the licensee would not have got into trouble. Remembering 1 your circumstances, however, we will bind you over for twelve months. I warn you not to appear nere again. C AME FROM NORTH WALES. H ow lonc-r "How long have you been down here, and where did you come from? asked Mr. D. Lleufer Thomas (Stipendiary). The question was addressed more than once to youthful defendants whose accent re- vealed their North Walian extraction. I want to try to help you not to get into these bad ways," abided the Stipen- diary. Too many of you young fellows come down here from the North and allow yourselves to go to the bad." Defendants were bound over and placed on probation, a condition of the probation order being that they should not enter a public-house during the period.

ISouth Wales Markets.
I South Wales Markets. [From A. Mitchelson & Co., Stock- brokers, Cardiff and Swansea.] Markets are a little more active, but tile toile, is not quite so good. The long delay in settling in the Balkans matter, and the local trouble with Labour over the non- Unionists are both exercising a somewhat restraining influence on markets. Rails are a little easier, both Barry Deferred and Taff being offered, Rhvmney Deferred and Port Talbots are quiet. There is no outstanding feature in Priar- Charge Securities. Neath and Brecon Preference Stock is offered again. Port Talbot Preference shares continue to change hands at just under 9A. Alex- andra Debenture has also almost recovered its dividend. In Banks. London and Provincials are steady at 19—19 £ and Breweries are also firm. In the latter section Hancocks Pre- ference shares have improved to 9, and Rhondda Valleys Breweries Preference; shares have been done at n. Coal and Iron shares are not quite so active, the trouble over the non-Unionists having a somewhat restricted effect. Quotations, however, are well maintained. and in some places advances have been made. Windsor Ten-per-Cent. and Six- per-Cent. Preference shares are in good demand, the former having been done largely at 12;f, and the latter at from n to n. The Ordinary shares and Deben- tures have also improved, and there is, of course, three years' dividend accrued on the Ten-per-Cent. Preference shares to June 30th of this year, and about ten years' on the Sis-per-Cent. United Nationals are another firm feature, a fair business having been done at from 34 to 35, and Burnyeat Browns have also been done as high as 57s. 6d. Blaenavons have been done at 18s. 6d., and are still wanted at this. Cambrian Consolidated Ordinary shares are steady, at from 24s.—24s. 3d., and the Preference at 20s. 3d.—20s. 9d. Duffryn Rhonddas are neglected, and Ebbw Vales are a little lower, being offered at 9f. Great Western B and New B are steady, and .Lamberts are changing hands at 20s. Newport Aber- carn Ordinary shares are offered at 8, and the Preference shares have been done at 8f. Norths are another good feature, a considerable business having been done at 6, Penrikybers, Powell Duffryns, Rhymney Irons and Tredegars are all on the dull side at the moment. In Un- quoted Securities, Fernhill Ordinary shares are changing hands between 37s. II> (id.-—40s., but the Preference shares are firm round about 22s. Elders have re- acted somewhat, but at the moment sup- port is forthcoming at from 13s.-13s. 6d. Ocean Coal and Wilsons shares are a little quieter, but the quotation is practically unchanged. In Dock and Shipping, Mordey CarneY9 continue to improve, and Channels are jvanted at par. Mount Stuart Deferred nave been done in a small way at (ij. and the Preferred are 9}-9}. Shipping shares arc fairly steady. Tatems are 27s. 3d.—27s. 9d., Orders and Handford about. 44. Hains IlL and Field Lines 12s. 6d.~13s. d In Miscellaneous, Moss Ordinary shares are little harder, but Coliseum shares are rather offered. Spillers have improved to 46s. 6d.—47s. 6d. cum dividend. and Car- diff Ice New shares are in demand at 9J. At time of writing the indications of an early settlement of the Balkan trouble arc distinctly more favourable, and there can be little doubt that, as soon as the horizon is fair, there will take place a strong upward movement in the values of all sound securities. Home Rails will vro- bably figure very prominently in the rise, and in this market, perhaps, the greatest bargain at the moment is GREAT CENTRAL PREFERRED ORDINARY, now quoted (Monday) at 37 to 37*. This Railway will have earned sufficient by the end of June to ensure the payment in full of all the Preference dividends, and in view of this it is highly probable that a distribution will be made on the Six- per-Cent. Preferred Ordinary for the cur- rent year. This position is beginning to be realised by investors, and the price of the stock should appreciate very largely during the next few months. BARRY DEFERRED. This Stock, now standing at about 93, is almost sure to rise to par and over in the near future. The dividend of 6 per cent. will doubtless be maintained, and on this basis, the present price carries more than 2 points of dividend, thus reducing the purchase price to 91 per cent. The inference is obvious.
