Treorchy. Special services were held last Sunday at S Tyfodwg's (Welsh) Church. In the morning, the Rev. R. T. Howells, B.A., All Saints' Church, Treherbert, officiated, at the Holy Communion service,, and, preached a very impressive sermon. In the afternoon, the service was preceded) by an organ recital, when Mr. Edgar Edwards, organist of St. Tyfodwg's, played some fine selections. The Misses Jones and Williams, and Mr. W. Butler (choir conductor) rendered sacred solos, and the surpliced choir of the church led in inspiring hymns. The Rev. Isaac J. Williams, M.A., All Saints' Church, Tre- alaw, delivered a striking discourse on Life, and what it means." In the even- ing, a full choral evensong was impres- sively rendered, and the anthem, "Jeru- salem, my glorious home (Dr. Xjowell Mason), was sung by the choir, preceded by a solo, Just as I am," by Miss Jones, Cwmparc. The preacher was the Rev. Canon Lewis. After the evening service at Raman (W.C.) Chapel on Sunday last the Rev. J. E. Thomas, on behalf of the church, presented to Mr. Wm. Evans, Y nyswen Road, a, Bible for services rendered during; last summer. Master Johnnio- Evans (son) accepted the token in his father's absence. Mr.. Stanley Jones, Ton-Pentre, sub- mitted an instructive paper on Radium and Radio Activity to a gathering of the Treorchy Literary Society last week. Mr. R. C. Austin occupied the chair.

Dinas. The mortal remains of David Richards,. widely known as Dai Aberdare," were laid to rest at the Llethrddu Cemetery on Wednesday last. Sixty years ago, he was one of the best known athletes in the country. He was acknowledged for many years to be the fastest three iniles runner in England and Wales. Many of his feats were accomplished in Bristol and Bath and the sporting centres of England. The burial rites were performed by the Revs. T. E. Griffiths (vicar Llan- fair-ar-y-bryn) and J. Pugh (carate). The funeral was well attended. Special services were held at Bethania Chapel on Sunday last. The officiating, minister was the Rev. T. Esger James, Maesteg, who delivered excellent sermons. On the following Monday evening, the, rev. gentleman delivered an highly in- structive lecture on "Astronomy." The Daylight Comet and Halley's Comet re- received special attention. The lecture wasvell attended.

Pentre. About 130 workmen have been rendered idle at the Pentre Colliery. The settling of a price list for a new seam by Messrs. W. Jenkins (Treorchy) and Enoch Morrell (Merthyr) not having resulted in an amicable agreement, the men were given a month's notice, which expired last week. There was a very meagre attendance of past students at the Pentre Higher Elementary School on Wednesday even- ing. A paper was read by Mr. Ben Nicholas (Treherbert) upon "Hearts and Hands." Those present fully enjoyed the address. A future reading 'of the paper to a larger assembly would undoubtedly prove interesting and successful. The Hockey Club dance was a great success on Friday evening. The attend- ance was a good one. The floor of the Olympia Rink had been nolished to a high pitch of perfection, thanks to the untiring efforts of the manager, Mr. Studd, and his assistants. Pleasant music was discoursed bv the Olympia Band, under Mr. Blaker's conductorship. _\r..

RUGBY. TREORCHY OLD BOYS 9pts., TRE- HEllBERT EX-SCHOOLBOYS. 0, Treherbert Ex-Schoolboys, a lisnig young team and champions Second Divi- sion, visited Treorchy last Saturday and played Treorchy Old Boys, champions First Division, on the Athletic Grounds. Treorchy were bereft of the services of Will Morris (right wing) and Derrick. Alf. Hopkins (centre) vacated his proper position to E. T. D,avi es. and assumed Will Morris' position, and R. J. Duck- worth took Derrick's place among the bunch." Mr. Will Waite referee'd. Dai Williams kicked off for Tr-e^'cliy and Raymond returned to touch about halfway. Treorchy had the best of a subsequent series of scrummages, and were awarded a. free," after which they became aggressive, and had it not been for a knock-on would have beat the. defence. Oolwill further relieved for Treherbert after a mark. A lengthy kick and rush by Treoithy brought play near the Treherbert line5 but this wife success- fully stemmed by a short punt, from which, unfortunately for Treherbert, Geo. Evans made a mark about five yards from the uprights, and kicked a lovely goal. Later, Treherbert infringed at a serum, and Treorchy, being awarded another 'free," forced play into the visitors' ground. From a scrum near the visitors' line, a fine bout of passing by the home three-quarters nearly ended in a score. Resuming after the interval, Raymond commenced operations. A timely rush by Treorchy nearly set Ned Knapgate in. A second later, Will George marked for Treorchy, and Will Jones goaled splen- didly, although the ball was in a bad state. George Evans later brought off a fine run, but its merits were. negatived in that he cross-kicked too strongly when near the line, and the ball went dead. Colwill restarted well for the visitors, but Treorchy's defence, was impenetrable, and after some noteworthy play they planted themselves in their opponents' territory, and Will Evans downed the ball behind the uprights. A dispute arose as to the try, and Treherbert eventually left the field as a protest, with five minutes still to play. RHONDDA DISTRICT 6pts., PONTY- PRIDD DISTRICT 0. This inter-League match in connection with the Rhondda Old Boys' League was played at Treherbert in wretched foot- ball weather on Monday. The ground was sodden and heavy after the rain. A good crowd of spectators witnessed the, game. The Rhondda team played with the wind in the initial half of the game, and they fairly hemmed their opponents in their own quarters. Several unsuccessful attempts at goal were made from easy positions by the Rhondda players, many good chances being lost through over- eagerness. When the first half was draw- ing to a close, the Rhonddaites scored a try in the corner through Jones (Dinas left wing), who touched down after the ball had been dribbled over the P'onty- p.ridd line. W. Jones (full-back) failed to convert from a difficult angle. There was no further score up to the interval. The Rhondda restarted against the wind. After some, even play at the centre, a good round of passing was started by Watts and Morgan (Treher- bert). Jones (Dinas) received the final pass, and after a brilliant run he crossed the line with another excellent try for the Rhondda team. George Evans failed with the kick. The game was not particularly interest- ing to the spectators. The players of both sides were over-eager, and mistakes were consequently galore. Pontypridd forwards were thoroughly beaten in the scrums. W. Jones (Treorchy) was the star player of the. Rhondda team. George Evans (centre), W. Watts (inside half), and R. Morgan (forward) were always prominent.

ASSOCIATION. GWMPARC & TREORCHY UNITED lgl., MILFORD UNITED 1. Cwmparo lost their grip on the South Wales League championship on Saturday by conceding a point to Milford, whom they had defeated earlier in the season at Milford by 4 clear goals. The weather was bad and the ground sloppy, but this was not entire justification for the ordi- nary display of the home men. The for- wards foiled to penetrate the defence (ex- cept once through Jack Evans in the first half), although they attacked hotly almost throughout. In the second moiety, Milford were again on the defensive, but time after time the shooting of the. home men lacked judgment and direction. Great credit must, however, be given to Gosling, the visiting custodian, who was either always in the way of good shots, or running out to field the ball from the very toes of Peake and Co. Once Milford broke away, and Goode and Parton being out of posi- tion, Slavell ran through and equalised the scores. The home spectators were much chagrined at the result, and Park will now have to go all the way to lift the cup, as Mardy are keenly "on the hunt." LLWYNYPIA CRESCENTS 4gls, FERN- DALE ALL BLACKS 0. These teams met last Saturday upon the Partridge Grounds in the first round for the Barnes O'Hare Charity Cup. The weather was very unpleasant and the ground in a sodden condition neverthe- less, a good game was witnessed. Llwyny- pia started against the wind, and soon got on the attack and forced a few corners, but to no advantage. The Crescents were by far the better side and put in some hot shots to the Ferndale goalkeeper, who saved splendidly, but Joe Youlden got in one of his fine shots and opened the scoring. After half-time, LlWynypia forwards fairly outclassed the visitors' defence and soon gave Youlden another fine pot shot, by means of which he scored. T. Crump, on the right wing, plays a very nice game, but he lacks in shooting. Worlock, the centre forward, added the third goal from a very clever bit of play. The honour of putting the ball in between the goal posts for the. fourth time belongs to F. Davies. The Crescents have no doubt the finest defence in all positions from half-backs to backs in the Rhondda League, Division II.

Shots for Goal. Will Lewis (inside half), for the Tre- orchy Old Boys, is a brilliant player. Smart and possessed of good judgment, he never permits any room for com- plaints in securing the ball from the scrums. Emrys Davies, his partner, is likewise a good player, but he does not last so long as his confrere. Emrys kills him- self during the initial stages of a game, and by the time play begins to wax he resembles what an enthusiast described as a broken tube." Ton journeyed to Bristol on Saturday, where Kingswood Rovers were their oppo- nents. The score read Ton, four goals; Kingswood, one. Pereival had the first goal of this year scored against him on Saturday, and that from a free kick for carrying. Bradshaw has proved the capture of the season for Ton. It may safely be stated that if the committee desire to retain his services for next season, they will have to bid against League clubs. W. Norris, the 110V/ centre forward from West Ham, is a, clubmate of Anplebee's, and shows splendid promise. His first I appearance on the home ground will be on Saturday next, when Salisbury City will be engaged. Curtis and Applebee form a good left wing. If Alby does not give the show away, his tactics are dangerous to the opposing defence, In the semi-final of the South Wales Cup Ton will meet the winners of the Merthyr v. Mardy match. The venue has not yet been decided < as Merthyr object to a Rhondda ground. Will Mardy do the same? A man behind the ball when last played cannot be offside." All players will do well to note this, a la Kingswood. Welton Rovers, who trounced Barry by 7-0 on Saturday last, will visit Ton on Saturday week.' Will the Reds get a similar w citing P We don't think. Johnny Williams' brother, Pryce Wil- liams, who plays for Glossop, has been selected for the Welsh Trial Match.

Mr. Howell Williams (clerk, 00- operative desk) proved the winner out of 12 competitors. Following this, dancing was indulged in. Mr. G. Childs (head- master of the school) perfofined the duties of M.C., while Mr. Alfy Davies acted as pianist. A well-attended gwyl de" was held at Penuel (C.M.) on Thursday, evening.
