Festival at Cwmdare.I
Festival at Cwmdare. Last Friday was quite a red-letter day in the quiet neighbourhood of Cwmdare. Three years ago, a branch of the Bristol and West of England Society was formed in the place. This is the third anniversary of the local lodge, and it was clecided to hold a grand festival to commemorate the occasion. During that brief period, the society has made rapid strides at Cwmdare, and its popularity and power are still on the increase. On the day in question, there were over 150 members in the procession, all wearing their badges. A promising feature of the procession and of the lodge in all its doings, was and is the conspicuous part played by young men. The procession wended its way towards the Bwllfa Colliery and towards the residence of Mr. R. Llewelyn, the managing director of the colliery. It was headed by the Aberdare Silver Band, which, under the conductor- ship of Mr. J. Manley, gave out some sweet strains. An excellent dinner and tea were provided at Gobaith Vestry, which had been kindly lent for the occasion. The following ladies presided at the tables :— N Mrs. Davies and Mrs. Williams, Misses Margaret A. James, Phoebe Phillips, Martha Evans, and Mary A. James. They were assisted by Misses Emmanuel, Elizabeth Timothy, Mary A. Evans., Lizzie Childs, and C. M. Thomas. It should be stated that the provisions had been generously supplied at a nominal charge by Mr. Edwards, grocer. In the evening a first class concert was gratuitously given by the society at Gobaith Chapel. The chairman was Mr. D. R. Llewellyn, the talented son of Councillor R. Llewellyn. Notwithstand- ing his youth lie discharged his duties admirably, Mr. Pugh, manager of Nant- melyn colliery, being his right hand supporter. The accompanists, who also performed their work satisfactorily, were— Messrs. J. Williams, L.C.M., and Thos. James. The following programme was gone through :—Song by Miss Mary Phillips "Jcaucttcand Jeannot." Chorus," Awn i ben y Vyddfa fawr," by the Cwmdare Male Voice Party conducted by Mr. Benjamin Evans. Duet, Gwys i'r Gad," by Messrs. J. Davies and David Davies. Recitation by Mr. William Jenkins, "Goehel Briodi a Meddwyn." Song, Mr. Robert James, 0 rhuyebj^mi Bregeth Gymraeg." Song, v'. ■: ./>uth .Tone's Ooeu y Mesydd." Song by Mr. Dd. Davies, "Y Morwr Lion." Recitation by Mr. Thos. Beynon, "Breuddwyd ola'r Llofrudd."

Recitation, The Drink Mania," Mr. Rd. Evans. Duet by Misses Edith Jones and Elvira Harris, Little sister's gone to sleep." Song by Miss Mary Phillips. Myfi sy'n magu'r baban." The Secretary proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and to Gobaith church for the loan of the Chapel. This was seconded by Mr. Griffiths and carried. Song by Mr. Dd. Davies, Queen of the Earth." "God save the King" brought the concert to an end. Great praise is due to the committee for their energetic and amicable doings, and especially to the industrious secretary, Mr. Gomer Jones.

The ener- getic secretary of the function was Mr. Robert Williams, while the treasurer was Mr. Griffith Jenkins. On Monday evening the concert was lielci over which the Rev. J.

Davies ably accompanied on the occasion. The proceeds are devoted to the funds of the handsome and commodious chapel, which the ener. getic and industrious church of Hebron has recently built, and we hope that a good sum has been realised, _«

IHere and There.
Here and There. Alderman J. W. Evans and the Children's Treat. cBY NOMAD.] Though I do not ignore that the Leader" will elsewhere allude in appropriate terms to mighty flood of crushing sorrow nto which the our country and the whole civilised world were plunged by the announcement of the indescribably unhappy indisposition of our illustrious King, yet I feel it would be almost tantamount to a disloyal act on my part did I refrain from reverently referring to the national calamity from which his Majesty's satisfactory progress towards recovery is fortunately relieving us. Although his Majesty had to yield to the abandonment of the Coronation and the gorgeous festivi- ties which were to celebrate the memorable and august event in the Metropolis, lie firmly insisted on the execution of the royal treat to the poor children of London as well as of any promises extended to the little ones throughout the provinces. Let us fer- vently pray that King Edward's occupation of his bed of sickness may be of a short duration, and that the day may not be re- mote on which lie and his devoted and be- loved and gracious Consort will find them- selves with radiant faces inside the glitter- ing walls of Westminster Abbey to undergo the solemn ceremony which it has been the will of God to defer, I am sorry to observe that it was found necessary to convene an "indignation" meeting at Aberdare by way of protesting against a resolution passed by certain per- sons to deprive the children of their keenly- looked-forward-to treat. Why so gross "a violation of the King's earnest wish was connnitted I am not in a position to ascer- tain. It is gratifying to note, however, that the energetic intervention of Alderman J. W. Evans, and other prominent gentlemen, was instrumental in preventing the little ones from being subjected to a bitter dis- appointment. Ave, re going to have our tea after all. mamma," smilingly said my landlady's youngster when he returned home last Thursday morning with hardly any breath left in him for he had trotted along at top speed to convey the glad tidings to his mother. Who toid you that, -Johnnie? she asked in a tender voice. "I've heard that Mr. Alderman or some- body like that has got it for us." You mean Alderman J. W. Evans. solicitor? That s him and Willie Jones was say- ing to me for to tell daddy to give him all the votes that lie has when-Mr. Alderman comes out again. And lie must do it. iiiu,ii*t he. mamma'?" "Of course, my darling." And when I've votes.

And since one good turn deserves another, who knoAvs but that the "little Johnnies" may some day return. with compound interest. the laudable kindness conferred on them them by the popular ex-High-Constable of Aberdare? They certainly should, and I feel confident that they will.
