Pentre. Alost enjoyable concerts were given at fi'e I^rill Hall last Thursday and Satur- rj^y by the Calfaria Choir, of Treorchy. j> e operetta, entitled The Enchanted lellt (by C. J. Bush), is fo11 of excel- tha material for. good choirs, and both apA conductor, Mr. Lewis Edwards, and ?rnpanist, Miss Marv E. Jones, deserve ti^rlee^. Praise for their work in connec- ting w'l^h the performances. The prin- RfV ^hara-eters were as follow :—"King," AIr. ohn Evans; "Queen," Mrs. Mar- Navies; "Prince," Mr. John Joni6S' "Princess," Miss Edith Maude • "Lord Chamberlain," Mr. Jas. "Rosebud," Miss Maggie Jane "Phunny" (a jester), Mr. Jas. «-^U.SPoilall" (wicked fairy), Miss All the artistes did their ^nd p creditably, the parts of Prince ^iss being particularly' well done, ill ftrfx Maud Jones sang and acted bei^~ t-rate style, her excellent voice ^ettftp 6ard < to .great advantage. No exposition of tIle character of r „*needed,. than that given by Dl"ù ohn Davies, and he deserved the dltf; of the. audience. Another very ;Í/t. young vocalist who was well applauded was Miss Maggie Jane Jones, her diffi- cult solos being well rendered. The staging of the operetta was good, although the speakers occasionally forgot to address the audience. The choir did their work in a splendid manner. A few of the choruses lacked good intonation, but the renderings of the fairies' chorus, Rest, Gentle Princess," was excellent, and so also was the chorus, "No more groans, no more moans." The chairman on Thursday evening was Mr, E. H. Davies (junr.), Pentre, and on Saturday evening (in the absence of Mr. Percie G. Smith) Mr. Wm. Powell, Treorchy, presided in a most happy manner. The attendance on both evenings was quite satisfactory.

| RUGBY. 1 TREORCHY OLD BOYS 14pts., CWM- PARC RAMBLERS 3. Thi", return match took place on the Treorchy Athletic Grounds on Thursday, before a good gate. Both teams were strongly represented. Cwmparc kicked off, but were early outshone by the smartness of the home- sters. Idris Evans, the Ramblers' cus- todian, showed up well, his brilliant and lengthy touch-finding kicks being a feature of the game. "Will (Lyon) Jones had an easy time of it, the game for the most part being confined to the forwards. With a speedy race from a scrum in mid-field,1 Jack Jones (wing) outwitted all his oppo- nents except the full-back. Jones re- peated his performance a little later, and this time he crossed with a try, wbicli. Will Jones failed to convert. { After changing ends, Treorchy imme- diately went for victory, and soon Derrick crossed with a try. The kick for goal failed. Again, from the homesters' 2o line, Will (Lyon) Jones followed up his own kick. and after a warm tussle, scored a try, which he converted. Another try was scored for Treorchy by Jack Miles. In the final stages of the game. Urias Thomas, coming up from the 25 line for Cwmparc, dribbled the ball down the field at a high speed, and after outdoing the whole opposing team, scored. TREORCHY OLD BOYS 0. TREHER BERT ATHLETICS 0. I These teams, neither of which has not yet excelled the other in the matter of point-getting, played their last match on the Treorchy Grounds on Saturday, in wretched weather. Treherbert were at full strength, but the homesters were minus Lyon Jones, Derrick, Geo. Evans and others. The last game ended in a 1 try each. Mr, Tom Williams; Treorchy, referee'd. Rain fell heavily when Treherbert kicked off, and a nasty wind was blowing, causing the ball, when the return kick was given by E. Knapgate, to go into the river near by. But for the intolerable state of the field, a great game would have been witnessed,, and in the circum- stances Treorchy were manifestly the superior, as their third liners were a sub- ject of envy and annoyance to their oppo- nents. Play was stagnant but for one or two exceptions, and those were when Treorchy took play to the visitors' venue and nearly scored. WTill Morris twice nearly scored for the homesters and Jack Miles once. TREHERBERT ATHLETICS 7pts., DUHLlN OLD BOYS (Treorchy) 3. This match was played at Treherbert on Monclf y. In the first half, the visitors faced the wind, and for a good while after the kick-off, play was very even. The Old Boys' forwards heeled frequently at this stage, but their backs were unable to make much headway. By forward rushes, the visitors reached the home 25 line, where a scrum was formed. Treherbert heeled, but some passing by the home backs was intercepted by George Evans (centre), who ran over near the posts with a try for the Old Boys. The same player failed to convert. Treherbert im- proved after this reverse, and soon took up a position near their opponents' line. A scrum was formed five yards out, from which the Treherbert halves received. J. Griffiths (outside half) took a quick shot and scored a beautiful drop goal. thus placing the Athletics, a point ahead. After the interval, Treherbert made another determined onslaught on the Old Boys' line. oohvill (the home custodian) fielded a high punt, 'and cross-kicked to the right. J. Lewis (right wing) took the ball on the run, rounded all oppo- sition, and planted the ball behind the posts; only to be recalled for being off- side. The home backs were often in motion, and the passing was somewhat good, but no further score came for some, time. Then J. Lewis picked lip at mid- field, and after a short sprint, punted towards the left wing. D. Jones and R. Pitman followed up smartly, and the latter picked up and crossed with a try in the corner. J. Griffiths failed with the kick at goal. Continuing to press, Treherbert again scored a pretty try through their left centre, who swerved past several opponents and crossed under the uprights. The try was, however, dis- allowed. „

ASSOCIATION. TON 4glc, TREHARRIS 1. These teams met on the Ynys on Thursday last to fulfil a postponed fix- ture from last year in the Rhymney Valley League competition. Both sides were well represented, and as the score indicates, Ton were much the superior team. Perhaps the visitors, having lost in the final for the cup, did not fully extend themselves. During the first half, neither side ap- peared to exert themselves, and conse- quently a tame game was the outcome. Fyfe, the home skipper, drew first blood for Ton. This was quickly followed by another from the same player At half- time, the score read: Voii, 2; Treharris 1. In the second half, Bradshaw and Tommy Davies netted for Ton. The homesters, warmed in earnest to their work in the second moiety. There was simply one team in it, and that was not Treharris. It was simply the excellent play of Tagg Williams that prevented Treharris having a fairly decent little

Shots for Goal; Ton's victory over their old rivals, Tre- harris, in "the Rhymney Valley League competition was a mo.st substantial one. Ton were much the superior team. The Reds have now only to defeat Aberdare on Thursday next to become the winners of the Rhymney Valley League cup and medals. To defeat Aberdare to the tune of 2 goals on their own ground last Saturday was no mean feat. This Ton managed to do. Still, the Reds did not have so much. of the game as may be supposed. Bradshaw acquitted himself creditably against Treharris. He has now re-estab- lished himself again in the hearts of his admirers. Tommy Roberts was not seen at his best against Treharris. Perhaps he has had too long a rest. Fyfe, the home skipper, is at present playing a sound, consistent game. He is not of the flashy type, but is generally found where he is wanted. He scored two fine goals against Treharris. Footer is dying hard at Ton. Pault.on Rovers will be the last team to visit the inys this season. Perhaps two of the most enthusiastic men in connection with the Ton team are Mr. Walter Breeze, the trainer of the team, and the secretary. Mr. W E. Chillington. It was extremely amusing to witness the match between Treorohy Old Bovs and Cwmparc Ramblers on th Athletic Grounds on Thursday last. On two occa- sions a Rambler actually headed the ball and a risorial storm raged from outside the ropes. But, in mitigation of the offence, it would perhaps be of interest to note that the said Rambler has for the last five years been an ardent and enthusiastic Soccer player, and peculiarities of the sister code are not easily forgotten. Will (Lyon) Jones was again called upon to play for Treorchv Premiers against Pontardawe on Saturday last. George Evans, an Old Boys wing, also played for Treorchy, and it is feared that the services of both these players will be wanting in the ranks of the Old Boys next season. R. J. Duckworth, Treorchv. wrote a cutting letter to a footbal journal last week in defence of the Treorchy Old Boys, and the referee who referee'd in the match between the Old Bovs and Rhydfelen at Treorchy on the 4th inst. The letter was a reply to the letter written in the same journal the previous week by the assistant secretary of the Rhydfelen team. The Treorchy Old Boys will in the very near future hold their annual meeting and dinner. It is pleasing to note that this team is exceptionally sound finan- cially. It is unnecessary to speak of their soundness as footballers, as their record in season 1909-10 of the Rhondda Old Boys' Knock-out Competition speaks for itself.

total compiled against them. Tagg was certainly the saviour of his side. Although two penalties were awarded Treharris, both shots proved futile, Percival having no difficulty in stopping them. For Ton, in the forward line, Bradshaw was himself again, and played a splendid game. His goal was a capital one, and was well deserved. Fyfe was also very much in evidence and in good form". Tommy Roberts, on the right wing, was weak, and was a long way behind Parryv whose play on the left wing in the last few matches has been quite equal to that M his confreres. Hugh Williams was %gain the. pick of the halves. Curtis, in lieu of Jack Jones at back, played a sound game. f' CWMPARC & TREORCHY UNITED lgl., MARDY 1. The above teams met on neutral ground —the Ynys, Ton—in the final for the South Wales League Cup on Saturday last. The game, which was contested in most wretched weather, resulted in a draw. LEWIS MERTHYR 4gls., ABERDARE 4. The above teams met on Saturday at Trehafod in a Rhymney Valley League encounter, before a very fair attendance, and notwithstanding the inclement weather and poor condition of the field, gave a neat exhibition of the Soccer code. Play was very fast from first to last, each side in turn being visited. Aberdare, however, had hard lines in not securing the much-coveted point, for they were considerably handicapped. Brilliant efforts and combined rushes which savoured of desperation saved the situation for Lewis Merthyr somewhat. but the Aberdarians were not to be denied one point. The game ended in a draw of 4 croals each. TREHERBERT UNITED lgl., RHON- DDA P.T.'S 1. These teams met for the fourth time this season at Treherbert on Saturday, in atrocious weather. The United were compelled to play no less than five reserves, whilst the Teachers fielded a powerful side. The P.T.'s started, and at once invaded their o"->onents' half, but S. W: Bull sent them back by well-judged kicks. Treher- bert then pressed, and Thomas, their centre forward, came within an ace of scoring. The homesters continued to press. T. R. Owen and A. Hanney were now prominent in defending the P.T.'s goal. The visitors forced the pace, but failed to do the needful.. At one time, when Abel Jones looked all over. a scorer, he was pulled up for being offside. No score had been registered when the interval arrived. *he game was fought out with a cer- tai > amount of keenness in the ? 'id mr iety. Not long after the restart, "8- hev »ert took on a spell of attack, ut th :r efforts always broke up at the cri4ical moment. W. Howells (Teachers) centred the ball at midfield. W. J. Evans set ured and transferred to W. Lewis, and tIlf latter, driving the ball into the net, set red a goal for the visitors. Treher- bert then attacked hotly, but their for- wards lacked the ability to score. Per- sistent attack was at last rewarded, when R. Evans sent in a splendid centre from the right. Thomas pounced on the ball and scored a lovely goal, after having beaten several opponents. No further score was registered. MAINDY CRESCENTS 2gls., YNYSHIR I ALBI-ONS 1. This special League match for 4 points was played on the Pontrhondda Grounds, Llwynypia, on Monday last, the 25th inst., before a record gate. Maindy. winning the toss, played with the wind behind them, and from a melee in front of goal. Evans, the right wing, put in a stinging shot which Elliott, the Ynysliir goalie, managed to tip over the bar. The corner kick was fruitless, Evans, the Maindy centre half, heading over the bar. From the kick out, the Ynyshir men got going, but the Maindy full-backs sent them back time and again. Within five minutes of the commence- J ment of the second half, Alfie Williams, M.l lJirlv's ocntrp fnrn'rr1 nnt. in a ofinn. .t'I.U "'v OV.I..&I.IM.- ing shot which gave the Ynyshir goalie no chance to save. From a centre, Evans (Maindy centre half), in trying to clear, kicked the ball against an Ynyshir for- ward with such force that it rebounded into the net, thus equalising the score. The Ynyshir defence was afterwards sub- jected to a perfect fusillade of shots, which Elliott cleared in marvellous fashion. Persistency was at length rewarded, and W. M. Evans (Maindy centre half) put in a shot which Elliott failed to stop. There was no further score. MAINDY CRESCENTS 2gls., PENTRE TEACHERS 1. This fixture was witnessed by a fair attendance at the Ynys Park, Ton, last Tuesday evening. The Teachers kicked off, and J. L. Roderick scored a goal, which Dixon, the Maindy goalie, had no chance of saving. In the second moiety, Maindy began to warm to their work. Saunders scored the winning goal for Maindy after twenty minutes' play. MARDY FOOTBALL NOTES. Mardy A.F.C. were busy last Saturday and annexed three South Wales League points, two from Caerau at Mardy, and one from Cwmparc at Ton-Eentre. A reserve team was turned out against Caerau, with rather astonishing results. Did not Tommy Thomas and Levi make a fine picture? And what price Jarrett Jones as first reserve to "Curly" Griffiths? Anyhow, the two points were got safe enough. At Ton-Pent re, although the sloppy ground was all against good football, a fine game was witnessed, and Cwmparc were lucky in making a draw of it. Wilcox again played a fine game. as full-back, while poor Mac had the worst of an argument with Wilson.
