Canal Head House, was first in the Pedal Harp competition, and her brother. Master Taliesin Merfyn Morgan, captured the second prize. little Nancy is only 11 years of age. Dr. Rogers was the adjudicator.

SECOND CHORAL CONTEST. TRE'CYNON THE BEST CHOIR-BUT NOT THE BEST PERFORMANCE. The four choirs entered for the second choral competition appeared on the plat- form In the following order: Crewe Glee and Madrigal Society (conductor Mr. Lowe), Bangor Choral Society (Mr. Rd Diiviee), Trecynon United Choir (Mr. William Gwynne), and Cefnmawr Choral Society, Ruabon (MV. G. W. Hughes). The test pieces were The Prayer (Dr. Joseph Parry) and Elgar's "Deep in My Soul (unaccompanied. „ Tadjudicator, Mr. David Evans, Lardiff, said that the third choir (Tre- cynon) had richer voices than the other choirs. Theirs were, without exception, good voices, and they produced a fine tone as a choir. Unfortunately, however, not a single note in the first piece, (Parry's) was sung in tune, and they got deener and deeper into this fault as they went along. In Elgar's piece, the choir, being well-trained and of rich voices, gave a very creditable performance. The theme was well-defined, and they had also much colouring. The fourth choir (Cefnmawr) was a choir of bright, clear voices, producing a right tone, and in their performance the audience had that oneness of tone that was so essential to good choral singing. They sang Parry's piece in fairly good time throughout-not possibly absolute- ly true, but still in fairly good intona- tion from beginning to end. It was cor- rectly sung, and the whole performance was decidedly a musical performance. The second prize would go to Trecynon -certainly the best choir that had sung but not the choir that had given the best performance that day. The first prize of course went to the best choir that sung— Cefnmawr.

Aberdare Smallholders' Assocation. Another meeting of the Smallholders' Association was held last Friday evening, when a good muster of members were present—many new ones joining.

The next meeting will be held to- morrow (Friday) evening, when another member of the C.C. in the person of Mr G. A. Treharne, is expected to report on the attitude of the Smallholdings Com- mittee of the C.C. re the Ysguborwen pro- perty.

"I' Footbafi. BY "SPECTATOR." Glamorgan League-Cardiff City v. Aberdare at Aberdare. After their dis- ^r?u PeiltrG' when they beat the Rhondda Champions on their own ground, South Walians are beginning to admit that the 'Cardiffians' are a hard lot to beat. On Monday the locals were strengthened at back by Bilson, and Rarkes of Mountain Ash played centre. Referee, Mr. Jarman, Llanbradach. The game ended in a draw of 2 goals each, game ended in a draw of 2 goals each, the locals pulling the game out of tEe ™ the last few seconds. To say that the home partisans were delighted at the display of the midgets is putting it rather mildly. Billy Bradbury must have felt a proud man when he steered the ball into the Cardiff net. And what a close shave it was! The Darians during the closing 15 minutes fairly ran their heavy opponents to a standstill, their weight alone saving them from defeat. The Dare goalie got through a lot of work, but he could hardly be expected to stop Peakes'. two goals. In Goodwin and Hilson Aberdare possess two fine backs. The halves were good, and with a bit of hard training should prove a strong trio. Phillips, Parkes, and Bradbury worked like demons, but Tippett and Hawkins found that the opposing wing halves did not stand on ceremony when tacking them. The home wing men persisted in trying to round Lawrie and McDougal, with the result that they found them- selves rather often on the ground. BY "ONLOOKER." Aberaman Windsors v. Penrhiwceiber Crusaders (3rd Division). This match was played at Michael's Field, Aberaman. Time was called leaving the Windsors the winners by 4 goals to 2. For Aber- aman the left wings played a capital game. The centre was full of vigour. Some fine head-work by the half-backs was seen. The full-backs were very safe. Rees in goal made one blunder. Bowen should leave off his fiddling with the ball and play the game. Probert was not seen at his best, being out of his usual position. For Penrhiwceiber, H. Thomas in goal played a sound game, also Eynon at left back. The right wing used his speed to a great advantage. The Wind- sors have secured the signatures of three prominent players that will fix them in a strong position. _M_

Two gentle youths of the pencil push- ing persuasion invade the quiet streets of the Mount on the Sabbath evening. Oxford Street is tabooed—their minds must run in quiet grooves. We haven't seen the hobble skirt m the Mount yet, but hats-oh dear, one has to side-step to avoid them. Com- plaints are heard of the enormous con- fections in St. Margaret's Church. A nice little lady has actually been persuaded to take a holiday. She hasn't had a day off for a long time. St. Fagan's boy has got a new staff round him. Wait and see.
