LLAHOYFELACH RE-8PES, -00 i PARISHIONERS HEAR THE BELLS FOR THE I FIRST TIME. j ——— I There was a large attendance at Llangyfelach Church on Tuesday after- noon, when, after having been closed for I some considerable time for renovation I purposes, the church was re-opened by the Bishop of St. David's (Dr. Owen), I The Renovations. Llangyfelach is the site of one of the earliest Christian settlements in Wales, The present church is net ancient, and, unfortunately, having been badly built, stood in urgent need of thorough restoratiau, which was carried out on the advice of the eminent architect, Mr. W. D. Garoe,' who is the advisor to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The work done included a new roof, new porch, new windows, floors, seats, etc. The cost, including a small organ, amounts to £ 1,700, the whole of which, with the exception of E300 stiU owing, has beoji raised by the parishioners.. The cost of restoring the tower, and having the bells re. novated, amounting to about £ -500, has been defrayed by Sir John T. D. Llew- elyn, Bart", who also has given < generous contri bution towards the reo srboration of the church. I Yesterday's Ceremony. i Among th{);'<. present yesterday itftor- noon in addition to the Bishop of St. David's, were Sir J. T. D. Llewelyn and Miss Llewelyn, Mr W. D. Caroe, Mr. D. M. G lash rook, the Rev. David Wil. banis (Vicar) Morriston, Rev. G. Jones, the Parsonage, Llangyfelach; Rev. Watkyn Morgan., Llanelly, etc. The Bishop, in the course of his ad- dress, said the last twenty-five years had meant a groat strain on the re- sources of an industrial parish. In the evening the Rev. Watkyn Morgan, of Llanelly, and formerly Vica-i- of Morriston, delivered «■ sermon. The hells in the tower were rung during the day for the first time for many yoors, in fact for the firsfc in the memory of the present parishioners., whilst the choir wore surfdioes tor the fimt time.

CROSSLY NECLECTFUL" I SWANSEA CHIEF CONSTABLE AND DOCK I POLICEMEN. I Swansea Watch Committee met on fuesday afternoon, the chairman (Aid. Dan Jones) presiding. It- wvas reported that fourteen local authorities had becn written to as to whether they were prepared to con- tribute towards the new motor fire ene and appliances, and a number of replies had been received, some favour- able and some otherwise. These would be tabulated and presented in due I course. Answering Mr. J. Powlesland, the Chairman said that in iOO meantime, if maked, they would supply tlhe use of the engine, and charge in the ordinary way, The committee a-ppr-oved of repairs, painting, papering, etc., at Greenhill Police Station at an estimated cost of about £17 15s. Arrangements for Bath and West. The committee agreed to a recom- mendation by the Ohiof Constable (Captain All Thomas) that an eon,- stijJblei. including six detectives be en- gaged from outside authorities for the Rath and West Show. The show autho- rities would pay half the cost. Answer- ing the Chairman, tie snid that a,ny extra duties devolving on the local men would be pr.id for. The com- mittee left the matter to the Chief, and that it should be voluntary for the men to give up their weekly rest day if necessary, and that in that case they should be paid for it. I "Crossly Neglectful." The Chief Constable submitted sworn statements in the case of Cbas. New- some who wa.s charged at the la.st Assizes with the alleged theft of a, mail- bag, and discharged on a flaw in the indictment being challenged. The statements deposed that a little girl told three dock policemen whom she met under Wind-street bridge that a mail-bag had been stolen, and put do-rn by hel" honsl in Little Wind-street, and one told her to so and find a Borough policeman, and not to pay that she had seen them. The Chief Constable reported that he regarded that the dock policemen had been grossly neglectful of their duty, they being sworn in as borough police. The Chairman said it wa.s a. gTeat pity, and a very grave thing as far as the dock policemen were concerned that those men. who were sworn-in as borough constables, should have put the little girl off, when, by going just round the corner, they might have caught the man. Answering Alderman Devona!<l. the Chairman said that the policemen had just come off duty at 10 o'clock. Strong Representations to the Harbour 1 Trust. A statement from the docks policemen I WAS read in which they said that the girl did not tell them that there was, l anything serious the matter, and when asked if she had seen a borough police- man 6he said" No," and walked away. The policemen said that they thought it was only a common family trouble, and so did not take any notice, as they did not see any disturbance. It was decided to make strong repre- sentation^ on the matter to the Harbour Trustees. The Chief Constable: I don't think it will happen again. Freak Shews on SMMay. I Mr. P. Molyneux asked whether a certain freak show in the town had been open last Sun day. The Chief ConstaMe said that it was, but the proprietor had given an under- taking not to open it again. He had been informed thftb application was going to he made to open on Sunday a show with a "fasting Irishwoman," but he intimated that he would oppoce it. The Chairman: Quite right. Mr. David Richards askect tbat a constable should be stationed outside Plasmarl School—which wa-s one of the most congested and dangerous spots in the town—when the children are coming out of the school at 12.30 and 4.30. The Chief Constable said he would at- tend to the matter.

I PENTRfjBHWYTH "PARK," I Swansea P,arks, Foiieshore, and Burials Comrftittee met oni Tuesday af- ternoon, Mr. \r. H. Lee presiding. There were six tenders for the new chapel, etc., or Morri«tot\ Cemetery. The lowest—thiivt of Mr. Thomas Spragg for £ 2,100—w.iy> accepted. The highest was t2,627 lttf.accepted. The highest Vehicles fat Cwmdonkin Park. I A letter was ',rea.<l from MTm Allbright I complaining »rt»out ilie allpwing of vehicles to p8 rdS through Cvrmdonkin Park. It told .s;.f a narrow escape of a little child onhne day before. The Chairma II remarked that the ac- cident might kjve been a serious one. The desirability of closing the park to vehicles was ^discussed. Mr. Holmes pointed out that there might be iuvaltqis who wanted to take a drive through the park. Chairman: BUV when are you going to draw the line? In reply to Mjr. Morgan Hopkin, the superintendent said that there had been no previous complaint- for five years. It was decide to write to Mr. All- bright rpgretti) tg: tMe incident. j Royal Institution Grounds. I A letter front. <the Royal Institution stated that they>yjm>posed to effect some changes in the, ground around their building, and th:¡¡ t they would he obliged if Mr. Bliss, the Parks Superintendent, would supervise the alterations pro- posed. Mr. Morgan IJ( pkin thought the pub- lic fehould be adrrfitted to these grounds. The Chairman .s aid he thought the in- stitution wanteof the brains of their superintendent. t b beautify their gar- dens. He unde] etood that a proposal to throw open thu grounds was discussed at the institutiOi- at, and lost by only one 1 vote. Mr. Morgan Bkpkin proposed that a committee. composed of the chairman, vice-chairman, ar it Mr. Holmes should wait on the cour ttdl of the institution, and advocate the throwing open, at rea- sonable hours, of the ground. The Chairman: We shall be prepared to meet them nerjy handsomely as re- gards cost. The resolution Wis adopted. Holiday Rsxsrrts Federation. I A letter was ne^d irom the Town Clerk of Pwllheli asking Swansea to join the Federat>f»»u of British Health and Holiday Resairty:. Mr. Hemniings. sked what benefit they would get b, £ i joining the federa- tion ? Mr. Morgan Hopkin explained it had Air. felt that at lesent health resorts had no power to spo nd money in adver- tising. Therefore tl lis organisation was established to advoca te a measure enab- j ling authorities to sl)enct up to a penny rate to advocate pad ieular places. The federation had been established about two years ago. Ha pointed out that almost every liea-li b resort had joined the association exvtept Swansea and Mumbles. Ho moved that they recom- j mend the Parliai eontarv Committee that Swansea be rt^presented in the federation. Mr. Hemmings doubted whether, their budget being v fossed already, they could do anything lor the next twelve months. Mr. Dan Jones: Tiv*.bat shall we gain? Mr. Morgan Hopkfn (warmly): Gain | in having Swansea idvertised all over Europe! Mr. Hopkin's re",)otio-n was adoi)ted. It was decided tliako the Parks Super- intendent should atti?T»d the Royal Hor- ticultural Societies Inhibition in Chel- sea. on May 19th. A proposa l made br 31 r.

I FOOTBALL IN THE MUD. 1 —— I DANYGRAKS LOSE UNDER TRYING I CONDITIONS AT PONTARDAWE. I A SURPRISE FOR LLANELLY. rESTEBDAY S REvSUUTS. 1 Rugrby (Welsh Oup). bla-nelly, 1 converted goal, 1 try (8 poiirte) Seeoiven, nil. Danygraigr, who have not been seen on the Pontaxriawe enclosure for some tjIPe" played their return match on Saturday, 3ud lost by three tries to one. The game was fought out in excellent spirit, and t-ro- t vided plenty of amiwement ajid excite-nent for the spectaters. The muddy condition of the field and the pools of water encoun- tered again spoilt wh.it would othera-iee have been a v/i-y fast caane. Notwithstand- ing these circumstances both teams put up a very good exhibition, and Ponty's vic- tory was brought about by the superior nnish of the backr,. They were very t. er in this respect, and had the field been any- hing like dry they would have notched jiany more points. CHE SHINING LIGHT. The shining light amo-Ag the backe was Frank Thomaeon, the right wing. He covered himself with glory on this occasion, and cailiiot on his present form be left cut of the te.im again. In defence and attack he was superb. He wae well backed up ty W. J. Hopkin and Kift at centre. Vaug-hon's bry was a good one after most of the nacfre hao taken p.-Art in the movement. J. Daviee kicked with wonderful length, and uily outclassed the visiting full-back. Wilfred I Williams; and Stanley Davies combined ex- ellently at half-back, cutting out openings galore. Provideti that they can play to- gether in a few more gamau, they should make a smart- pair of halves. The irost jonspicuoue and daring of the home usck were Jack Davies (Yetalyfor,-t-), T. J. Jones, j Llew Jones, and T. J. Williams, the two former especially being always in the lime- :i;ht. Trials were given on Saturday to dughes and Jenkins, of Yetalyferft as for- wards, and they gave a good account of themselves. Poutaxdawe will be at Reeoiven next Saturday. SURPRISE FOR LLANELLY. After leading by eix pointe for the gr^f.ter part of the game at Stradey on Saturday against Aberavon, Llaneily suffered the humiliation of an unexpected defeat which came in tile last five minutes. The Sc-a:lets had had by far the better of the argunciit., and ten minutes from the end they looked easy winners. Many of their supporters were leaving the field congratulating the team for its fine performance, little dreaming o ft,he unpleasant, surprise that in atore for them. While it was a bit rough for the Scarlets to loee after holding the rpper hand throughout, it wae a glorious .enleve- ment for the Aberavon men to make such a recovery and enateh victory from the ^rasp of the Scarlets. This is another examole of the uncertainties of Rugby football. How- ever, Aberavon deserve every credit for their grand final rally-a rally that -).-ourli-t about disaster to the Scarlets; and taking everything into consideration, one u.ynot I grudge the Avonites the victory they gained. It was towards the end that tlei £ opportunities came, and when they came the Red and Blacks grasped them iti an instant. A defeat, especially like --aat of Llanelly's on Saturday, is most unpalatable to the ardent enthusiast; still the -vouues were complimented on all hands for tl e fine opportunism they showed. PLAY VEERS ROUND. Right from the start Llanelly kept attack- ing persistently. They came near scoring on more than one occasion, and the fact ti at they did not meet with success is a tib-uto to Khe defence of the Aberavon men. For twenty minuws play went on like this, the.Scarlets makias repeated.-onslaughts on the Avonites1 line, and being eent back on each occasion. Then in quite an u. ex- pected fashion the Aberavon men lO{k up the running. and W. Jones, by kicking a neat penalty goal, put his side three J.C ints ahead. After this the Scarlets pia-yed with far greater determination. They were on the hot attack once again. WATTS' TRY. The eooring for Llanelly waa opened by Willie Watts. It was a fine try, came a8 the result of the opportunism of the Rev. Alban D.ivies. There was a-me scrambling play in front of the Aberavon goal, and the Welsh captain seeing a-a op- portunity, picked up the ball, and in a flash whipped it out to the Llanelly backs. John Owen Davies took the paws well, pnd gave a transfer to Watts, who made a suc- cessful dive for the line. Two more Hies followed by W. J. HoweUs and Arthur Howells, and the pity is that ttlJ three were not converted, as they should have been, Thus at half-time the Scarlets were leading by six points. Quite early in the second half Llanelly bad many chances to put toe iasne beyond all doubt.. They tried hard to cross, but there was a painful lack of 8tng in the attack. Sam Jones, the new IJ.-rin- elly wing. changed places with H. Thomas, the home outside-half, but they were as far away from success as ever. I-lowelt-z, too, came out from the forwards to assist the backs, and even this did not bring a hou t, the desired effect. Aberavon were standing the test well, and were wearing down tiieir opponents. A DRAMATIC TURN. About five minutes before the end there was a dramatic turn in the game. The Avonites made a final spurt, and even eo late they succeeded in pulling the game out of the fire and converted wha.t everyone thought was- an inevitable defeat into vic- tory. Three tries came in quick succession, and Llanelly. who at. times had pl/iyed so well, wae a beaten side. All this v.as crowded into such a short space of time that the spectators could hardly realise that Llanelly had lost and that Aberavon had won. The home forwards can hardly be blamed for the defeat. They played well throughout, both in the scrums and in the loose. Prominent amongst them were the Rev. Alban Davies, D. Hiddlestone. Arthur Howell, and W. J. Howell. Fowler. at half, has played many a better game, while Thomas w.M aAeo slow, the eubstitu- tion of Sam Jones effecting no improve- ment. The best of the three-quarters was Willie Watts, John Owen Davies being i-n- able to take or give passes with any degree of regularity. • 1 BURCllELL SAFB. I As for BurchPlt. he was quite safe under the most pressing circum.stances', though in the matter of touch-finding there was room j, for improvement. On the visitors' e de, Tobin and Ilongfoi-d were often in the tic- h (jweAl more. 6mart-: ture, while the halves sh owed more smart- ness than the Llanelly pair. Useful woik I. on the wing waa done by Hopkins, who should havo been better served. It wae a pity that, r. T. Davies. Llanel.'y's interna- ¡ tional wi-ng, was unable to play. but it is good news that he will be available for all the remaining games. )
