MOUNTAIN ASH LOCAL BOARD. The bi-montbly meeting of the Mountain Ash Local Board was held on Monday when there were present, Mr T. Edwards (in the chair,) Messrs J. Griffiths, C. J. N. Gray, M. Morgan, G. Jones and D. Jones. TEND ICRS. Two tenders were received for the erection of 10 of Field's automatic flashing chambers, and that of JMr Thomas Morris, Mountain Ash, of £244 15s 4d, being the lowest was accepted. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor's report was as follows:—To the Mountain Ash Local Board, Gentlemen, 1. In ac- cordance with your orders I beg to submit for your approval plans, specification and form of tender for the erection of Field's automatic flashing chambers. II. I have examined the sewers in the district with respect to the further ventilation of the same, and am of the opinion that for the effectoal discharge of gas from the sewers it will be necessary to construct twenty-seven additional ventilators in accordance with the plans prepared aDd estimate of cost and a list showing the places where I would recommend such ventilators should be erected. III. I beg to submit for approval plans for earthenware gullies and syphona recommended to be used in the future for street drainage throughout the district. IV. 1 have in accordance trlfcb yr-ur orders sketched upon the hospital plana the alterations recommended by the Local Govern- ment Boird. The expense of such alterations will add to the additional estimate the sum of J6160 158 making the total cost £1272 lis. If you adopt these alterations in will be necessary to prepare further plans for the approval of the Local Govern- ment Boird. V. I have examined the promises in Napier Stieefc, viz., 48 and 49 the property of Mr Od. Jones, and 50 and 51. the property of Mr Dd. Evans (Mr Lewis Edmuud's agent). The nuisance reported by yoor inspector arises from ineffectual drainage and improperly trapped gullies, which are not connected with the sewer in front of such .premises. I have also examined the premises, Noe. 65. GB, and 65a High Street, the property of Misa Margaret Evans soch property being deficient of any slop drains. I would recommend the said owners have notice to construct proper earthen- ware drains and steuch traps and oonneot the eame with the Bewers constructed for their recep- tion. VI. I have received from your Clerk a letter from Mr Shepherd rt-speoting the adoption (by your Board) of certain streets, viz. the street from Railway Terrace to Quarry Street and the Street from Rheola Street to Lower Churob Street. I am satisfied that the metalling in such streets I baa beeh properly carried out; but before such 1 streets are adopted as highways it will be necessary to serve notices opon the Llanwonno School Hoard, the Penrhiwceiber Company, Nirs Catherine Phillips and Mr Morgan Davies. to lay down, curb, and chann I a g'avel footpath abutting 1).pon their several properties in the said street in compliance wsth the 150th section of the Public Health Act, 1875. VIII. I beg to lay before you a letter from Messrs Stephenson and Son your Gas and Water Engineers and, in accordance with their Teqnest he prepared plans of the proposed cite for gasworks at Penrhiwceiber, and am now fcavin; five trial holes sunk npon the said site. VIII. With respect to the condition of the streets esd roads and the culverts at Mitkin I have ar- "Uged to meet Mr. Bell and report npon the aevera matters at your next meeting. IX.

PONTYPRIDD V. CARDIFF H AHIQUNS
PONTYPRIDD V. CARDIFF H AHIQUNS The Pontypridd season commenced in earnest on Saturday last, when they pitthd themselves against the Cardiff Harlequins. The new ground lately acquired by the Harlequins not being in a condition suitable for play the match took place at the Cathays Recreation Ground. Oo arriving at Cardiff the Pontypriddiana were met by a member of the Harlequins who directed them to the Crwys Hotel, as the most convonient place in Cathays to don their war paint." There, how. ever, they were politely informed by the genial host" that owing to the scarcity of pubs." in the neighbourhood his houfe was full, and conse- quently room fot 15 growing youths to change could not be provided. After wandering in vain in search of apartments a pushing Cathays trades- man came on the scene and offered to place at their disposal an empty house for' the cutting price of 3s. 6d. This generous offer was gladly accepted, and in the course of a few minutes our boys were on the ground fully attired in their cardinal and black, anxious for the fray.- The Harlequins, however, seemed not to have made the necessary preparatione for their recep- tion, no goal posts or flags being fixed, and it was only after about half-an-hour's patient waiting that these preliminaries were completed and a start could be effected. The Pontypridd Captain having been successful with the proverbial spin of the coin, elected to play with the wind. C. Jones started the leather for the "'Quins," and J. Williams returned into touch near the half.way flag. On the ball being thrown out a scrimmage took place in neutral ground, the ball was heeled out, and Jenkins securing it, pateed it to G. Lewis, who in turn transferred it to T. Harry, the latter landing the oval into the Harlequins' twenty-five. A series of tight and very evenly contested "scrums" next took place. James, for the 'Quins," making several ineffectual attempts to relieve the pressure, but G. Gould was well on his track, continually bringing him to earth. By a combined forward rush the ball I was sent over the line and the "Quins," were compelled to save by touching down. On the ball being kicked out J. Williams again returned into touch. After a smart "acrum" Chillcott chucked to Alf Lewis, who fprinted well in front of the goal, but this advantage was soon neutralised by a good rush on the part of the Haiieqaius forwards. From a pasa Alf Lewis ran in and grounded the oval, but an appeal to the referee for a forward ball was allowed, and the ball was brought back. Shortly afterwards half- time was called, the score standing thus :—Ponty- pridd, 1 touchdown; Harlequins nil. After the usual breathing time W. Williams again set the leather rolling, and both teams settled down to a fast forward game, the rushing and tackling on both sides being superior. G. Gould and W. Williams for Pontypridd, and T. Morgan for the 'Qains" being very prominent. The play of Jenkins and Chillcott, the Pontypridd halves, was now very brilliant, and elicited very favourable comment from the spectators. Jenkins smartly picked up in the Harlequins' territory, and after one of his well-known cortscrew runs grounded the leather over the line, thus gaining the first try of the season for the team. J. Williams made a good though unsuccessful attempt to convert. F. Tilke charged down the Hailequins kick and from a throw out of truck the 'Q"Jius rushed the ball down the field, and some good passing between Coleman, Keepings, and Norman enabled the latter to score but in an unfavourable posi- tion. Jones essayed the kick, but failed to con- vert. Time was then called, the game ending in favour of Pontypridd by one try and three touches down, to one tiy and one touch down.— The following comprised the teams:—Pontypridd -back, J. Williams; three-quarters, G. Lewis (captain), Alf Lewis. T. Harry, and Jetbro Davies half-backs, W. Jenkins, and D. Chillcott; forwards, E. Llewellin, W. Williams, G. Gould, F. Tilk, Albert Lott, E. Gould, Ivor Edwards, and J. Thomas; umpiie, Mr. W. T. Daviss.—Cardiff Harlequins-back. C. Jones; three-quarters, A. Norman, W. H. Keepings, S. Coleman, and A. James half-backs, Willoughby and Williamson forwards, Erskine, Griffiths, Fergusson, T. Mor- gan, T. J. Morgan, Mnmford, C. Williams and E. Nicholls; umpire, Mr. A. J. Davies.

IW Extraordinary Care ef a Cough of Six Years' standing, declared before a Commissioner to Administer Oaths in the Supreme Court of Judicature, England. I HENRY JAMES GAMMAGH, of j 116 & 117, Widemarsh-street, in the City of Hereford, Contractor and Decorator, do solemnly and Bin- oerely declare as follows 1 About eight years ago 1 had a severe attack of rheamatio fever, from which, when I had recovered, I had a bad cough, and the medical man who attended me, who is one of the Visit- ing Surgeons to the Hereford Infirm- ary, informed me that I never could be thoroughly cared from it.* 2 From that time until about two years ago I have suffered more or less from the same congh, which at times was worse than at others. I especially wasaffeoted by it in the mornings when I got up, when sometimes I coughed until I was almost suffocated, and I thought I should be stifled. 3 During those years I consulted several medical men, from following whose advice I obtained no relief, and I havte taken various patent medicines with the same result, and I had given up all hope of alleviating the cough. 4 About two years ago I was reoom. mended by a friend to bay a bottle of George's Cough Balsam, And although I had no faith in its proving efficacious, I gave way to my friend's importunities, and purchased a bottle. 5 From the First Bottle of ( George's Cough Balsam I took I felt greatly relieved, and I bought another bottle, which I took, and which effectually cured my cough, and wince that time I had no return of the coush. 6 If I find I have taken oold I take a dose of the Balsam as a preventative, and I am now, and have been since I took George's Cough Balsam As free from Cough as I ever was in my life. And I make this Bolemn declaration oonscientionBly believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the previ- sions of an Act mfade and passed in the fifth and sixth years of the reign of his late Majesty King William IV, inti- tuled "An Act to repeal an Act of the present Session of Parliament, inti- tuled an Act for the more effectual Abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in various depart- ments of the State, and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof, and for the more entire suppression of volun- tary and extrajudicial Oaths and Affir- mations, and to make other provisions for the abolition of unnecessary Oaths."

--I FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. TREHERBERT V. YSTRAD. Two matches took place on the ground of the former on Saturday last, in the presence of about a thousand spectators. The first match was between the Second Fifteens of the above clubs. The Ystrad was much heavier than the home team, but by playing well together the Treher- bert team won easily by three goals and four touches down to nil.-Afterwards the First Fif- I teens took possession of the field. Both teams were about the same weight, but the home team's passing and running was by far superior as will be seen by the score. During the first half-time the game was mostly scrimmages, bnt during the second half the home team played a loose game with them, which proved a grand success, and they kept the ball continually going over their line. At the call of time the Treherbert team was victorious by three goals, two tries, and seven touches down to one touch down. The teams were as follow:-Treherbert — back, T. Roberts; three-quarter backs, Rees Jones, D. Hopkins, and M. Abraham; half-backs, J. Lewis, W. Williams, and H. Brace; forwards, S. Morgan, B. Hughes, C. Lodwick, T. Edwards, J. Griffiths, E. Jones, R. T. Jones, and W. Sant. Ystrad- back, T. J. Royall; three-quarter backs, Phillips, Stevens, and Truran halt-backs, D. Lewis, and T. Jones; forwards, J. Davies, D. Abraham, E. Evans, C.
