Aberdare Chrysanthe- mum Show. On Thursday a Chrysanthemum Show was held at the Market Hall, Aberdare, under the auspices of the Aberdare Gar- deners and Allotment Holders' Society The judges were Mr. F. H. Farmer, Car- diff Castle Gardens; Mr. Howe, Manor House Nurseries, and Mr. J. Comley, Llwydcoed Farm. An interesting incident in connection with this Show was the presentation of a gold medal (supplied by Messrs. Thomas and Co., jewellers, Aberdare) to Mr. Farmer in recognition of his services as judge to the Aberdare Horticultural Society, and also for his kind service in sending miscellaneous groups for exhibi- tion at the August Flower Show. The presentation was made by Mr. Emrys Evans, chemist, vice-president of the Hor- ticultural Society, and Mr D. J. Williams, on behalf of Mr. T. D. Williams, secre- tary. Mr. Evans dwelt on the valuable services which Mr. Farmer had rendered to the Show. Mr. Farmer, responding, said that he greatly valued the gift as re- presenting the good and kindly feelings whiyfr animated the donors. Afterwards a splendid luncheon was partaken of at the Cowbridge Arms, Mr. David Jones, the host, being the caterer. Councillor T. Walter Williams, B.Sc., the president of the Gardeners and Allot- ment Holders' Society, presided. Mr. T. Gerrish, chairman of the Society, pro- posed the toast of the Judges, coupling with it the name of the president. All' the judges responded. Mr. Drake, an exhibitor, also addressed a few words, and spoke well of Mr. Farmer. Mr. Farmer proposed the toast of Mr. Gerrish, the chairman, coupling with it the name of Mr. A. Buckingham, the secretary. Mr. Gerrish, in responding, gave his recollections of the first Flower Show held at the Ynys Grounds, Aber- dare, 25 years ago. The show was con- tinued yearly for some time, and then it was abandoned. After a lapse of five years it was resuscitated, and ever since had flourished. Mr. Coombes, speaking on behalf of the cottagers, expressed a wish to see the two societies amalgamating. Mr. Coombes and Mr. Comley offered prizes for next year's show. A concert was held at the Market Hall in the evening, Guardian J. Prowle pre- siding. The judges were also present on the platform. Mr. Farmer gave an in- teresting address. He held that Aberdare should be able to give one of the best floral exhibitions in the country. Both the local gentry and the cottagers should take a more active interst in gardening. He wished to express his thanks to all who had brought exhibits to that show. Songs were given during the evening by Messrs. Sam Barber, Tohn Edwards, Syd- ney C. Rees, John Jones, Gadlys, and Mr. IJoyd. Trecynon. Comic rendering by Mr. Griffith Thomas, Cwmdare. Indian Club Display, Mr George Smith. Instru- mental selections, Mr. James Oliver and party.

Rackrenting at Aberdare TRADES COUNCIL AND MINISTERS CONFER. On Friday, at the I.L.P. Institute, Aberdare, a joint conference of members of the Trades Council and ministers at the town was held to deal with the suDjecl of rack-renting. There were present: Messrs. E. Stone- lake, J.P., secretary of the Trades Coun- cil; S. W. Gray, assist. sec.; J. H. Bruton, treasurer; U. Lewis, vice- chairman; W. T. James, deputy Vlce chairman; and a number of members of the Trades Council. The following' rev. gentlemen were present: — Revs. J. W. Richardson, vV. Cynog Williams, T. H. Bryant, W. Cal- vert, E. Gwenffrwd Hughes, J. SuJgwyn Davies, W. H. Jones, B.A., T. W. Long, B.A., J. Robertson, M.A., R. E. Wil- liams (Twrfab), Melchisedek Evans, J. R, .Dewi Williams, Father O'Reilly, and two Salvation Army ladies. Mr. W. T. James was voted to the chair. The Rev. J). Silyn Evans had written stating that his practical tact in the question was- rather limited. However, he hoped that his service and life were directly on the line of the object of that meeting. Surely the right way of deal- ing with rack-rented houses that were most insanitary, dilapidated, and danger- ous was to call the attention of the offi- cers of health to them, and report to the Council. The Revs. T. Powell and James .Tones, Cwmdare; J. D. Rees, Salem; M. Jen- kins and J. B. Davies, Abercwmboi; R. H. Davies, B.A., Cwmbach; the Vicar of Aberdare, and Mr. A. E. Kimpton, had also written regretting their inability to attend. Mr. Stonelake stated that the Execu- tive of the Trades Council had taken the step of inviting the ministers of the town to a round-table conference to discuss the question of rack-renting because it was a crying and a growing evil in the town. He thought they should first of all appeal to the consciences of the people who were responsible for owning insani- tary houses and charging unreasonable rents for their property. He thought that such things as fair rent courts should be established. Another remedy would be more houses. Mr. Stonelake said that he did not agree with the Rev. D. Silyn Evans. If they reported to the Council he feared that they would be playing to the hands of the rack-renters. The Chairman said that rent collectors were often responsible for raising rents in order to advance their commission. A Salvation Army lady officer said that she knew of many landlords who had raised their rents because they had been offered more money for their houses by other people. Rev. J. R. Dewi Williams suggested that the rack-renters should be ap- proached by the ministers of the churches to which they belonged. Mr. J. H. Bruton endorsed this idea. Ministers could get at the sinners in a. better way than laymen could. He sug- gested that there should be a "rack-rent- ing Sunday," and that ministers should on the appointed day preach agaiiia it. Rev. Cynog Williams: Is the Vicar of Aberdare prepared to go himself? I do not like to send the deacons to do any dirty work for me. With regard to rack-renting Sunday, Mr. Williams said that they often bad such a Sunday at Heolyfelin. He was convinced that he ought to see these rack-renters person- ally, and he trusted that the Vicar would do the same. The Rev. M. Evans also believed that if the Vicar took the lead this matter would be remedied more rapidly. He did not believe he had any rack-renters in his congregation. Rev. W. Calvert expressed his sym- pathy with the movement. Mr. Evan Jones, Cwmaman, expressed his disapproval of the practice among grocer-landlords of compelling tenants to buy in their shops. Rev. T. H. Bryant said that something practical should be done in this matter. Rev. R. E. Williams (Twrfab) asked if there were reasons given why rents were higher than they used to be ? Were rates higher, and what was responsible for their being so? He feared that there was a dearth of houses in Aberdare. (Hear, hear.) There were very many young married couples in Aberdare who were living in apartments. Mr. Stonelake: 227 according to the last census. Father O'Reilly said that in many cases the rents were high because the rates were so. However, he had heard many poor people complain of rents which had been unnecessarily increased by owners. That was the rack-renting which he con- demned. Oftentimes, however, these owners were punished by having bad ten- ants. There was another rack-renting which he would condemn. That was practised by working people themselves, and the victims were people who rented apartments from them. The Rev. J. Sulgwyn Davies said that he had not many property owners in his church. They were either in the Rev. Cynog Williams' church or in. other churches. The worst type of landlord was the absentee owner who lived in a fine house outside Aberdare. Mr. Arthur Thomas said that he had to work a lot for the rack-renters, so he did not wish to say much on the matter. Reverting to what the Rev. Cynog Wil- liams had said, Mr. Dewi Williams was positive that the Vicar would use his personal influence in the matter. The Rev. T. Walter Long said that the Vicar of St. Fagan's would act in a simi- lar manner. Mr. D. Stephens considered that the demand for houses should not be a reason for putting on a high rent. Mr. Dewi Williams moved the follow- ing resolution —" That this conference is of opinion that a list of rack-renters be drawn up, and that the clergy and min- isters be asked to use their power in remedying the evil by personal influence with individual members of their congre- gations concerned as landlords. Also that .a Sunday be set alJart to condemn the system from the different pulpits." The resolution was carried unani- mously. Mr. Bruton held that that meeting had been a failure because such a very small number of ministers attended. It was explained that many ministers were attending a Free Church Council meeting that evening. The Rev- R. Gwenffrwd Hughes men- tioned that the Rev. D. Hopkins was un- able to be present, but was in sympathy with the attitude of the Trades Conn- cii»' *fI don't, know to what church that gentleman belongs," said Mr. Hughes, I pointing to Mr. Bruton. Mr. Bruton: I don't belong to any one. Mr. Hughes: I thought so, or he would not have spoken as he did. Mr. Bruton: I did once. Mr. Hughes, continuing, said that ho had always done his best from the pulpit with regard to this matter, although his sermons were not published in the press. t (Laughter.) a Mr. Stonelake, replying at the close, de- nied that the increased cost of materials or the increase in the rates justified the advance which had taken place in rents in our locality. With regard to the state- ment made by some ministers present that there were no rack-renters in their churches, he did not think that there was one church without them. ?

in Evan Jones breaking through the home defence and equalising. Final score: Mountain Ash Crusaders, 1 goal; Aber- nant Windsors, 1 goal. 000 Abernant displayed magnificent form all through. Evan Jones was easily the finest player on the field. Will Williams on the wing was also prominent. Charlie- Williams held his opposing centre well and truly, whilst Rees Davies was also conspicuous. James and Jenkins lacked j none of their usual form, whilst Ben i Morgan in goal saved nicely. The pick of the Crusaders were, Roberts at outside right, the inside right, and the left wing of the forward line, the left half-back, the two backs and the goalman. r 000 Gadlys Rovers v. Godreaman United. This match took place at the Park on Saturday last. For Gadlys Rovers: Goal, David Jones; backs, James Slaten and J. H. Billingham; halves, Tom Hull, Will Palmer, and Will Lewis; forwards, D. J. Vaughan, Lawrence, Will Davies, Arthur Billingham, and Charles Hill. Mr. James T. Bowen, Godreaman, acted as referee. The Gadlys Rovers had the best of matters through superior tactics, and Lawrence and D. J. Vaughan scored a goal apiece before, the interval. In the second half Arthur Billingham added another goal to the homesters' score. Final: Gadlys Rovers, 3 goals; Godre- aman United, nil. 000 On Saturday last the Aberdare Church Club-entertained the Aberdare Excelsiors at the former's grounds.

The first round in the Thursday Cup Competition was played at the Llwynypia Athletic Grounds on Thursday last. The participants were: Aberaman Thursdays and Ton Pentre. Mr. E. H. Rees, Aber- dare, was referee. The first goal was scored by the homesters from a scramble in front of the net, to which the Aber- amanites replied with a. shot by Arthur Jones. Half-time score: 1 goal each. The second half found the homesters again going ahead through an early score. The visitors equalised five minutes before the call of time. Final score: Ton Pen- tre, 2 goals; Aberaman Thursdays, 2 goals. Aberaman (Michael's Field) will be the venue of the replayed match. 000 Cwmbach Chescents were at home on Saturday last to Troedrhiwfuwch, the team that has smashed five ground re- cords in the Glam. League this season. Mr..Jack Havard, Aberdare, refereed. Cwmbach led at half-time by 2 goals to nil. In the second half, however, no fewer than three goals were scored by the visitors. The game thus ended in a win for Trelewis, the score reading: Tre- lewis, 3 goals; Cwmbach, 2 goals. 000 The Aberaman Windsors encountered Treharris Albions at Michael's Field on Saturday last, Mr. Gilbert Bressington being referee. For the Windsors were; Goal, Ned Wrentmore; backs, Probert and Ilatiuock; halves, W. Edevane, Chas. Davies, and Wat Rees; forwards, Win. Williams, David Bowen, Gwilym Rees, Purdell, and J. Owen.

Three more goals were added by D. Bowen, W. Edevane, and J. Owen respectively, while Wrent- more had practically nothing to do in goal. Final score: Aberaman Windsors, 7 goals; Tre-harris,, liil. 0 0 0 The series of successes that have fallen to the lot of the Aberaman Wanderers in the Glamorgan League were continued an Saturday last against Trelewis.

MacCarthy; for- wards, W. Clarke, D. Davies, D. S. Evans, Y. Williams, and C. Silverthorn. Ten minutes from the start of play the home- sters forged ahead through a splendid score by G. Wat kins. David Davies equalised. After the resumption the game became somewhat rough. The Aberamanites forced three corners in suc- cession, but failed to score. Amend was made for this later through fine play by David Davies and Silverthorn, the latter doing the trick with a fine shot. The same players gave the Wanderers another opportunity, which Davies did not fail to take. Final score: Wanderers, 3 goals; Trelewis, 1 goal. BY "WANDERER." A meeting of the Aberdare and District Junior A.F.C. League was held on Wed- nesday evening at the Lamb and Flag Inn, Aberaman, under the presidency of Mr. W. Bressington.

Harris from Jubilee Rovers to Aberaman Church Lads; E. V. Rosser from Territorials to Aberdare Crescents. Mr. H. Hart, the secretary of the South Wales Football Association, wrote en- closing the following resolution passed by the association, which the writer asked the League to approve of: In the event of a club being proved, whether on pro- test or not, to have played an ineligible player or players in a match, that club shall be fined a sum not exceeding one guinea, and also whatever the result of the match, whether won, lost, or drawn, the two league points for which that match was played shall be awarded by the League to the offending club's oppon- ents with regard to that particular match."—It was decided on a division not to adopt the same.—Mr. Hart also wrote that S. Rowes, of'the Mountain Ash Re- creation, had been suspended for the re- mainder of the season by the association for having struck the referee, Mr. T. Williams, in the match Trecynon Wind- sors v. Mountain Ash Recreation.—Mr. D. J. Davies, Bridge-road, Cwmhaeh. was appointed a referee under the League. 000 The only match played under the aus- pices of the Aberdare Schoolboys1 League on Saturday morning, at the Athletic Grounds was one between Ynyslwyd and Cwmbach National. The ground was in n sodden condition, and consequently the pame was not a. fast one. There was no score at interval. In the second half Samuel scored for Ynvslv/yd, and Gordon equalised. 000 A match was played at Llwydcoed on Saturday afternoon between the Wind- sors and the Old Crocks of the place. The teams lined out in the following or- der:—Old Crocks: Goal, E. J. Edwards; backs, W. Jones and Pritchard Griffiths; halves, T. Jones, B. Griffiths, and D. Walters; forwards, P. Jones, W. T. Davies, D. Davies, E. Parry, and D. Davies. Windsors: Goal, Kees-Harris; backs, D. J. Jones, Stephen Davies; halves. D. W. Owen, W. D. James. J. Hopkins; forwards, T. Jones, T. Mor- gans, W. Rees Davies, W. Davies, and T. Francis. The referee was Mr. C. Barnett. The Old Crocks came away with a fine burst, and Dan Davies scored. W. R. Davies equalised. A minute before the final whistle blew W. T. Davies put the Crocks ahead. Final: Llwydcoed Old Crocks, 2 goals; Llwydcoed Wind- sors, 1 goal. ABERDARE SCHOOLBOYS" LEAGUE. Great interest was taken in a match played between the pick of the Aberdare Schoolboys' League and Penarth and Barry, under the auspices of the English Schools' Sheild, at Barry on Saturday. The Darians were a heavier lot than last year. The Barry team was a representa- tive one, and included many who played in the team which last year inflicted such a heavy defeat on Aberdare. The Aber- dare team was: Goal, J. E. Lewis (Cwm- bach);" backs, W. Price (National) and Harvey (Higher Grade); halves, H. Wil- liams (Aberaman), A. Price (Town Na- tional) and R. Hill (St. Fagan's); for- wards, J. Price (Town National), W. A. Edwards (Aberaman), E. Palmer (Cwm- bach), D. J. Davies (Capcoch), B. Wil- liams (Blaengwawr) and Stanton (Higher Grade). Barry opened play, with the wind to their backs. Several attacks on the part of thair forwards followed, but Price at back cleared well. Barry mono- polised the play, but failed lamentably near the goal mouth. An exciting melee near the Aberdare goal mouth had no re- sult. Just before the interval Evans scored for the seasiders. In the second half Evans scored again. Aberdare im- proved after this, and W. A. Edwards forced Havkins to concede a corner in de- fence. Aberdare lost this chance, how- ever, by kicking behind < The Aberdare forwards, who had all along played well, eventually scored through Palmer. This roused the Barry boys, and before the close goals in their favour were scored by Cruise and Fox. Final: Penarth-Barry, 4 goals; Aberdare, 1. ABERCYNON FOOTBALL. BY BACK." Abereyiioi- l v. Cilfynydd Harlequins. These old rivals met on the Abercynon Grounds on Saturday. The Harlequins have the honour of holding a three years' record, and the Cynonites still hold their ground record, although defeated by Llwynypia and Ynysybwl. W. Phillips, the burly Cynon forward, and Hugh Jones were absentees, while' Jim Rees (Whip) was absent for the visitors. The teams lined out thus —Abercvnon: Full- back, Jimmie Smith; f-backs, D.

Rees, Aber- aman. The game ended in a pointless draw. 000 Both teams were over anxious to secure honours, and a late start marred what might have been a good game. The second half was played in ,semi-darkness. Rowly Evans at half was brilliant, and Trueman, Bevan, and Marshman put in some good work. W. J. Jones was safe at full-back. In the front rank Revnish, Jacobs, and Archer were shining lights. For the' homesters the forward line were brilliant. Tom Lewis, Stone, and Tre-' vethan were prominent. Young Jinks at half combined well with Phillips. The quartette did not shine. Jim Smith was safe, and his flying kicks prevented cer- tain tries. In the first ten minutes Aber- cynon seemed to have the best of things, and afterwards the visitors excelled. During the second half the Cilites showed fine form.
