SWANSEA III v. AMMANFORD. The Ammanford cricket team journeyed to Swansea on Saturday to meet Swansea Thirds. They travelled away three short, C and were minus umpire and scorer, so at the commencement the outlook wa3 gloomy. ,uall Ammanford hatted first and ran up a very aOJ small total of (>9, to which the Swanseaites thi replied with 101, thus being victorious by v l iex ( vhel 92 runs. Willie Davies was top scorer oho- for the visitors with a well played seven- lecfc teen. Willie as has been stated in these columns before, id a very consistent bats- man. J. Southern and E. \Y. Morgan nt -?' came next with 11 each. It was a bless- mteO ing the services of Ted Morgan were avail- veek- able. as he clearly showed that there is life reak- in the "Old Hoss" yet. These were the m, only three to make double figures. Some- intc thing evidently went out of gear. The ryini scores were :— read m>lu. AMMANFORD. b P. Bosisto, c Davies, b P. Bevan 1 T.

RUGBY CLUBS' FINANCES. I LLANELLY'S POSITION. I The Llanelly Rugby Club met on Friday, Mr. R. W. Evans, J.P., presiding. Three nominations were made for the captaincy, viz., Willie Watts (last year's skipper), the Rev. W. T. Havard and Arthur Howells, but as there had been an irregularity in the nominations, the choice of captain was de- ferred to another meeting. The treasurer, Mr. A. E. Jackson, pre- sented the balance sheet, which showed a credit balance of ±11 18s. qji the season. The club's total indebtness was now ±596 7s. 2d. The gate receipts were ±744 14s. 3d. and the members' subscrip- tions ±90 16s. Next year it is hoped to have training quarters at Stradey. which should mean the stimulating of training amongst the players. Mr. E. E. Bailey and Mr. A. E. Jackson were re-elected secretary and treasurer respectively. RESOLVEN'S CREDIT BALANCE. The annual meeting <;f the Resolven Rugby Club was held on Friday night at the New Inn, Resolven. The Secretary (Mr. Willie Rowland.-) submitted the annual report, which showed that the club was in a flourishing condition, and that the past season was the best in the history of the cluk). During the season over ±200 was taken in gate money, and subscriptions came to more than ±20. They had spent ten guineas in erecting a Press stand. The balance on the season's working was ±26. Col. J. EdwardsVaughan, J.P. (Rheola) was re-elected president.

LATE DR. T. D. GRIFFITHS. I Will of Well Known Swansea Man. I Dr. Thomas Druslyn Griffiths, M.D., B. Sc., of Fern Coombe, St. Stephen's-road, Bournemcuth, and late Druslyn, Swan- sea, deputy chairman of the Swansea Gas Light Co., a former president of the British Medical Association, who died on the 17th April, aged 77 years. left estate of the gross value of ±32,646, 8s. lid., of which the net personalty has been sworn at ±24,128 14s. 4d.

Antiquarians' Visit to Ammanford. W RAMBLES IN THE LAND OF MABINOGION. Historic Spots Visited. Favoured with delightful weather, the first field day this season of the Carmar- thenshire Antiquarian Society and Field Club was all unqualified succezs when, as the guests of the Ammanford members, visits were paid to historic spots in the Amman Valley. A large .party drawn from all parts of the county turned out, and assembled at Pantyffynon Station, where Captain Jo hua LI >yd gave a hearty wel- come to the society on behalf of the Am- manford members. The first halt wa3 made at the site of the original Pantyffynon Colliery. In an interesting paper, Captain Lloyd said he believed they stood on the threshold of the summer house of Cadwgan, the son of Cathan, which would be situated on the flat which composed the greater part of Hafodwgan Farm and Castell Waun-Rhy3, a point which commanded a splendid view of the greater part of the Loughor and Amman Valleys. From the spot where the party now stood could be seen parts of five parishes—Llanedy, Llandebie, Bettwe, Llangyfelach, and Llandilo-Talybont. The antiquaries then journeyed on foot to Plas Llanedy, a quaint Elizabethan resi- dence, about a mile from Pantyffynon, now used as a farmhouse, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Davies and family. The Society were here entertained to tea and an inspec- tion of the building having been made, a meeting was held n the lawn, Mr. A. S. Gulsten (Derwydd), presiding. In an athle s, Mr. G. E. Evans, In- spector under the Royal Commission on Ancient Monuments, and joint secretary of the Carmarthenshire Antiquarian Society, said he had visited Plas Llanedy on behalf of the Royal Commission, and he at once saw it was -Ine of the places the Society must visit before it underwent alteration. It was an old Elizabethan house, built in the form of a letter T, and was originally named Cwrtymeidrin. The word "Cwrt" showed at once that it was an old court of justice. Its construction was in thorough keeping with old traditions. There was a atone staircase and pitch flooring in the. dairy, and the little "lock-up" and other features were really interesting. It would be a thousand pities if anything were done to destroy the ancient features of the build- ing. (Applause.) The meeting decided to write to Messrs. Buckleys' ,the owners, expresaing the hope that any repairs necessary would be carried out in a conservative spirit, and that the ancient characteristics of the building would be preserved. A hearty vote of thanks having been ac- corded the host and hostess, the party left by brakes, through beautiful country sceriery, for Maesquarre, the ancestral home of Mr. J. L. Williams, M.A. (an old member of the society), which stands in ex- tensive grounds, in the parish of Bettws. The party were entertained to an al fresco tea, and were phographed on the lawn, where a meeting was also held under the chairmanship of Mr. Alan Stepney Gulston. Mr. George Eyre Evans pointed out that just behind them was Bettws Mountain in the Black Mountains, which comprised one large pre-historic burial ground. When he and Mr. J. L. Williams tramped over it last year they came across mound after mound, many of which were not noted on the ordnance map. There were "meini her ion" and Tumuli. There were certain stones oil the mounta ins with interesting traditions attached to them, especially the tradition which continually cropped up in connection with the Arthurian legend. There was a story of one of the stones having been kicked out from Arthur's shoe. There was no more historically interesting spot in Wales than that which was con- nected with the. hunting of the "twrch" in the Amman Valley as told in the Mabin- ogion. The society was that day in the region of the Mabinogion. They had passed through a town which bore a name it should not bear—Ammanford. It should be Rhydamman. It was a very juvenile town, and the authorities made a great mistake in calling. it Ammanford. The society had that day "found" Plas, Llan- edy, and Maesquarre. The latter could be truly called an ancestral home. He did not think Mr. Williams could say when his family first came there. The true work of antiquarian societies was to find out the more remote spots and make themselves thoroughly acquainted with them, and see, so far as possible, that nothing should be done to detract from their beauty. The society was always alive in seeing that no wanton damage was done to valuable land- marks in the county, and during the pat few years they had been admirably backed up by the Royal Commission who had a strong eye to the beauties of Carmarthen- shire. The best work the society could do was to continue its watch-dog attitude so as to prevent anything being done to spoil the county. An antiquarian society was noth- ing if it was not modern. It had to adopt business methods and be progressive, but it was not to proceed hastily at the ex- pense of pulling down old things. A great deal had been said about the action of the society in strongly protesting against the indecrous vandalism of filling up the force- less trenches in Carmarthen, which dated from the Civil War period. If that could be stopped-and he believed it could be stopped-it wculd be very largely due to the action taken by the society-an action which was much appreciated by the powers in London. A very important Act had recently been passed—the Ancient Monuments Act. It was now a matter of keen interest to men such as the Inspector of Ancient Monu- ments in Great Britain himself, to come down and see that nothing was done to destroy work which dated hundreds of years. The work of antiquarian societies generally was being more appreciated. Children in the schools were now being taught to take an interest in eld things, and as they would be the County Council- lors of to-morrow it was well that that interest should be fostered. It would be a good thing if candidates for County Council honours had to pass an examination on archaeological lines so that they might know what powers they were entrusted with. He ventured to say that many county councillors did not know of those powers. The man seeking office must know that it was great vandalism to use a (Continued at bottom of next column.i

Llandovery Gossip. By THEOBALD." The sad demise of little Mary Evans, the thirteen-years-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Evans, Garden-street, occurred on Friday last. Her death liasv meant a severe blow to the family, the breadwinner of which has been in failing health for five years and. unable to follow his employ- ment. Now that their daughter had reached this age, her assistance would have been invaluable to them, but the Angel of Death swept by and took from amongst them their only ..cons .lation. Mary wis a scholar at the Natio.i. School, and h,i in very high esteem by her pU-ymates T(. pay their last tribute of respect to the "one" departed, they attended the funeral held on Monday, and accompanied the solemn cortege part of the way. The place of interment war Cwmsarnddu Baptist Chapel. A beautiful wreath was sent by the scholars attending the National School. The Rev. H. Ifor Jones officiated at the house and the Rev. Griffiths at the church and graveside. The Llandovery College Cricket XI played a brilliant game against Christ Col- lege, Brecon on Saturday last. This annual meeting bas been described as the "Welsh 'Versity". A very large number journeyed thither from Llandovery and witnessed the game. A solemn request was recently made by a young man from the neighbourhood. It transpired that he had over indulged in alcoholic beverages, with the result that the inner man suffered considerably, and lie, in consequence, therefore, predicted an early death. Our friend with tears in his eyea asked his many friend to prevent the Parish intervening and carrying out his funeral arrangements. Mr. Lot Hughes entertained a number of Llandoverians to an organ recital at Brecon on the occasion of the Welsh 'Varsity match. The "win" by the Llandovery collegians was celebrated in fine style by the Crusaders. One of the members were pre- sented with a bouquet in commemorati-n of the event. The addition t:) the number of magis- trates at Llandovery har, proved of much assistance to iilic, police. Ccuncillor Thomas Roberts ind Alderman T. Watkins have been the only ones available during the past fortnight, during which a very large number of cases have been heard. P.C. Reynolds, Llangadock, is to be complimented on his recent smart captures. He is an officer that upon all occasions has proved efficient and quite recently he was complimented at an inquest held in the borough. The worthy constable helds his., medallion in First Aid. On Sunday last, Mr. King occupied the pulpit at the Williams Pantycelyn Memor- ial Chapel. James Craig was on Thursday last bound over under the First Offenders' Act, for stealing a parcel of underclothing value 10/6. The magistrates present wore Alderman T., Watkins and Councillor T. Roberts, Crown Stores. On Friday, Patrick Dumey, well known in the Llangadock district as Paddy," was charged at Llandovery with the theft of beer value 2A., and other consumables. P.C. Reynolds proved the case, and prison- er wa:' sent down ior one month with hard labour. We deeply regret to announce the death, which occurred 'at Mothvey, of Mr. Isaac Williams. The deceased gentleman was well known at Llandovery. At Cilycwm recently there passed away a very well known gentleman in the per- son of Mr. William Davies, Glandwr Shop. The deceased was 78 years of age, and was held in very high esteem by all who knew him.

LLANDYSSUL WILL CASE. Name of Recipient Missing. Mr. Justice Neville in the Chancery Division 011 Friday was asked to construe the will of the late Dr. Henry Harry Davies, of Llandyssul. Mr. Jenkins, K.C., who represented Mrs. Evans, a daughter of the testator, said the question was whether she was entitled to certain property described in the will as Rock House, Llandyssul. The will was most carelessly drawn by the testator him- self. It began by describing him as a medical practitioner, of Rock House, and went on to bequeath his dwelling-house, to- gether with the grounds, cottages, coach- house, &c., with the exception of monies &c., "if the big safe," which were to go to his son John. Then he proceeded to be- queath two houses in Marble-terrace, Llan- dyssul, to his daughter Mary. Up to that point he had not mentioned any recipient of the first bequest. Counsel argued that the daughter took Rock House and the cottages, etc., notwithstanding that there was a repetition of the words "give and bequeath" before the second bequest to the daughter. Mr. J. G. Wood, for the son, contended that the first bequest was a gift to him, and that the words "to my son" were obviously omitted by the testator in making a copy oi the will from the original draft. His Lordship, however, decided that there was continuity between the first and second gift, which was not displaced by the repeti- tion of the words 'give and bequeath." The daughter, therefore, succeeded, and he made a declaration to that effect.

I. Killed by Express. I I Tragic End of West Wales Farmer. I A distressing fatality occurred on the Great Western Railway at a spot two miles from Carmarthen, on Thursday, Mr. John Davies, aged 62, of Manor Farm, Llanllwch, being knocked down by the Fishguard express and cut to piece". It appears that Mr. Davies had been working in the liayfield, and was crossing over the line to get to another field on his farm, when he was caught by the train. It is stated that he was loniewhat deaf and did not hear the train approaching. The driver stopped the engine at Llan- stephen Junction. Mr. Davies was one of the best-known farmers in the district. Inspector Will, of the Great Western Railway, and Police-constable Wallace proceeded to the cene and conducted the removal of the body. I THE INQUEST. I The inquest was conducted in the open air all the farmyard on Friday. The Coroner (Mr. Thomas Walters) and the jury were accommodatel with seats in the shade of an elm tree. Mrs. Mary Griffiths, a daughter of deceased, said her father was very hard of hearing. Richard Dyer, a neighbour, stated that deceased had been helping him with the hay harvest in the afternoon and left about five o'clock. Charles Roberts, engine driver, said he was driving the Fishguard express, which was then travelling at the rate of about 60 miles an hour, when lie saw a man walking in the four-foot way and going in the same direction, a quarter to half a mile away. He sounded the whistle, and the man looked round and made an attempt to get over to the down line on the right-hand side, but he hesitated and stopped to go across on the other side. The train by this time came upon him. It was only a matter of two steps to get clear of the train, but the coupling of the engine caught him. The Coroner said nobody was t) be blamed, except deceased himself. He was a tres- passer on the line and had no business to be where he was. A verdict of Acciden- tal death" was returned.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC IN WALES. 1 I OSer of ?3,000 a Year. I At a meeting of the College Council of the University of Wales, held at Aber- ystwyth on Friday (Aldrman D. C. Roberts, Mayor, presiding), a letter was received from an anonymous donor, offering to sub- scribe ±3,000 yearly for five years towards the establishment of a school or chamber of instrumental music. The dier also in- volved the organisation of instrumental concerts throughout Wales, and the giving of lectures on art by recognised authorities. The consideration of the scheme was deputed to a committee who will bring in a report before the end of July. It was decided not to appoint a successor to Sir Edward Anwyl at the present time, but to allocate the work in the department of Welsh to the present assistant lecturer, Mr. Timothy Lewis. M.A., and Dr. T. H. Parry Williams. Mr. T. Gwynn Jones will also be asked to give assistance in lectures on Welsh literature. The appoint- ment of a permanent success or will probab- ly be delayed until next session. Miss Lox- dale was appointed as temporary lecturer in physical geography for the session. Miss Fewings, warden of the Alexandra Hall of the residence for women students, tendered her resignation, and it was resolved to ad- vertise for a successor. The appointments of Mr. Reginald Grant, as agricultural organiser in Pembrokeshire, Mr. D. J. Morgan in Cardiganshire, Mr. Dl. Johns in Carmarthenshire and Radnor were con- firmed. The Rev. R. J. Rees was elected a member of the Court of the University of Wales.

"VERY HIGH AND MIGHTY." I I Coronar and Welsh Insurance I Commissioner. An inquest was held at Aberdare on Fri- day by Mr. R. J. Rhys on Evan Rees (65), colliery repairer, of John-street, Aberdare, who met with an accident at the Cwmneol Colliery of the Powell Duffryn Company on May 27th, and died on Tuesday last. De- ceased was overpowered by a train that ran down hill, and he fell underneath it. Dr. Ll. Rhys said death was due to laceration of the brain. The man only partially recovered consciousness after the accident. The doctor remarked that it would have contributed to the man's comfort, and that of the people who attended him if a water- bed had been provided. The Ccroner remarked that such things as a water-bed should be provided for in the Insurance Act. He had written to the Welsh Commissioners -011 that very point, and Mr. Hughes, of Bridgend, was "very high and mighty about it" and said that it would cost too much money. He (the Coroner) thought such things shouM be pro- vided whatever their cost. He had known a case where a man had rotted to death for nine months from bed sores. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence, and added a rider endorsing the Coroner's sentiments regard- ing. the provision of water-beds where they were ordered by doctors. Mr. C. B. Stanton, miners' agent, undertook to bring the matter to the notice of the Federation and Labour Party. --()-

HOW SWANSEA SOLVES THE I HOUSING PROBLEM. The Swan.ea Housing Committee are determined to ensure the success of their big housing scheme on Tower Hill, where it is proposed to erect 500 dwellings of the cottage class, and in connection with which a tramway is to be constructed in order to provide easy access to the site which over- looks the town, and incidentally to cheapen the cost of building, and hereby enable the houses to be let at a lower rental. The -committee have just put up six "sample" cottages of various types, and, further, have decided to furnisli three of them in order that the workers might see how the cottages should be set off to the best advantage. The Mayoress (Mrs. Corker), the ex- Mayoress (Mrs. David Williams), and Mrs. H. D. Williams and Mrs. Roberts (two members of the Education Committee) are assisting the committee in the latter matter, and it has been agreed that the furniture is not to be on a lavish scale, but such as might be obtained by an average workman.

(Applause.), Os the motion of the Chairman,, seconded by Councillor H. S. Holmes, B.A., sup- ported by Mr: R. Ll. Lloyd (Pentypark, Fein.) a bea. vote of thanks was ac- corded the Ammanford members for their hospitality. A visit was then made to Tirydail Mount and Cailey in the grounds of Tirydail House, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. Richards, proprietor of the Pantyffynon Tinplate Works. Here an animated dis- cussion took place as to whether it was Norman or pre-Norman in construction, and attention was called to the depression in the mount, a characteristic of many mounts in the county.
