A good number came from churches outside the district, such as Cwmystwyth, Devil's Bridge, Trisant, etc. The conductor was Prof. T. J. Morgan, F.T.S.C., Cwmbach, Aberdare, who has been appointed for three years. His energy and tact combined with a very rare musical temperament raised the singing to a high standard. Mr. Morgan has been marked out for a conductor of cyman- faoedd and is a strong beli-evert in rehearsals. He has the faculty of doing full justice to both words and the music. Ijie tunes, "Ad- gyfodiad," Cymod," and "St. Sylvester" were sung with great effect. The afternoon meeting was presided over by Mr. Isaac Jcnes, Penllwyn, and the evening by Rev. D. Lewis, Capel Dewi. Both gave inspiring addresses and remarks were further made by Rev. T. M. Jones, Rev. C. Evans, Ysbytty Cynfyn, James Evans, Caio, and others, Ilie accompanists were Misses Polly Thomas, Capel Dewi, Maude Thomas, Aberffrwd, and Mary Janetta Jones, Ponterwyd, who did I their work in a very creditable manner. Mr. Morgan announced the names of those who had been successful in passing, the tonic solfa exam- ination. The cymaufa will be long remembered as one of the most successful held for many years. Another report says the day's arrange- ments were carried out by a committee of which Mr. W. Evans, Ponterwyd, was chairman, and Mr. A. J. Pierce, Penllwyn, secretary. At the close a vote of thanks was accorded the good folk of Ponterwyd for their kindness in supplying food gratis for the visitors.

Cad- waladr Jones, High-street, on January 15th He says "WTe had a terrible time that night. We had to go over the top to dig a new front line trench and as soon as we got over the Turks spotted us and they soon had us under a heavy rifle and machine-gun fire. Willie and myself were together and half a dozen more. We were running across the open when a bullet hit my dear friend in the chest and he died almost immediately. What a shock I had. I laid down on the ground under what cover I could fiqd, and there, with the bullets whizzing overhead I thought of mv poor mate and of his poor mother. The stretcher bearers carried him in and he was buried next day by a Wesleyan minister in a cemetery near a river often named in the Bible. His grave was made up and a cross put on with his name and there he will rest in peace till we shall all meet again some day TRAWSFYNYDD.

His average weekly wages befol-e the accident was 27s. and he claimed full compensation of 13s. 6d.

Chamberlain and Johnson) for the respondents.-Applicant and a fellow workman named Robert Roberts said the accident. hap- pened when on their way home from work. The path was frozen and had beer so for some days. The path was in the quarry and was made by the quarrymen under the direction of a quarry officiaL-Mr. Graham admitted that as the applicant had not passed out of the quarry premises the accident could be said to have arisen in the course of his employment, but he submitted that it did not arise out of his employment, and applicant could not recover unless it was proved the accident arose both in the course of and out of his employment. It was an ordinary accident which might have I happened to anyone and the fact that it hap- pened on his employers' premises made no dif- ference. There was no special risk. The man ran no more risk than the ordinary member of the public.—Mr. Proctor said the accident hap- pened when the man was on the quarry pre- mises and it was accordingly admitted that i' happened in the course of his employment. He quoted authorities which he submitted made it equally clear that the accident arose out of the man's employment.—His Honour found that the accident arose out of and in the course of the man's employment an& awarded compensation of 13s. 6d. per week as from the date of the accident with costs on Scale C.
