Jones 21 84 "A Newtown Lover of Sport" writes: "A meeting of the South Wales Quoiting Association Management Committee was held at the Greyhound Hotel, Pontypridd, on Thursday, to consider a protest made bv the Newtown Quoit Club against Nat Edwards. The protest reads as follows: 'To the Management Committee of the South Wales Quoiting Association.—We, the Newtown Quoit Club, make a protest against Nat Edwards, based on the fol- lowing grounds: (1) Accepting the posi- tion of captain of our team at a general meeting which was held at the Colliers' Arms, Newtown, on the 17th of May, of which the secretary of the association, Mr D. P. Jones, was chairman. (2) Putting the club to the expense of purchasing a pair of quoits for him that cost the club nearly £ 2. (3) Playing for Abercynon Quoit Club on the 26th of May against Newtown Quoit Club, a league match, when he was selected to play for Newtown at Abercynon.' The committee, after a careful inquiry into the matter Jid the rules of the association, could not see their way clear to interfere with Nat Ed- wards, although some very strong re- marks were made concerning his leaving Newtown in the way he did, and joining another team-which incurs train ex- penses—when there is a team close to where he lives. I think, fellow quoiters, that it is time for us to look into some of these matters a little closer, if we want the game of quoits to improve in Wales, or else it will b the same as the Northern Unio4 in football. The practice of poaching will become detrimental to us."

The tables were very nicely decorated. The waitresses were Misses Lewis, Bird, May Watkins, and the host- ess. About 70 sat down to partake of the sumptuous repast before them. The catering reflected great credit on the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Watkins, and Mrs. Morgan, the hostess' mother, who were assisted by Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Evans. After the tables were cleared a splendid programme of harmony was gone through, the following artistes taking part: Pianoforte solo, "Welsh Airs," John Webber. Song, "The King," Wm.

Mr. Hubert Fortt, of a silver medal with gold centre was made by Mr Thomas Watkins, the host, in a few well-chosen words.—Mr Wm. Cresswell, chairman of the com- mittee, said it gave him great pleasure to present the secretary, Mr John Phillips, with a similar medal in recognition of his services in connection with the tourna- ment at Cilfynydd.—In the course of his response, Mr. Fortt said the only thing that grieved him was that they did not receive the cup and medals. He being the organiser of the club, as well as captain, he had worked hard in trying. to get the club a good name. It was the first season for the club—in fact, it was but in its infancy yet. He had sue- ceeded in getting into a few finals, but could not bring them through. He hoped ( that the next season would bring them i tho cup and medals. (Cheers.) fiie i thanked them one and all for their kind recognition.—Mr, Phillips, the secretary, 5 also thankfully responded. < The medals were handed1 over to the j Captain and Secretary by the Cilfynydd Football Club, who transferred them to c the Cefnpennar Team as the runners up i at the Tournament held at Cilfynydd at 1 the end of the season. s Hearty votes of thanks were passed to c the host and hostess for their excellent catering, and also to the chairman. "God -r Save the King" brought a very pleasant evening to a close. E

TOAST—'THE CEFNPENNAR UNITED TEAM/ Here's to Cefnpennar United, that team of rugby fame, Whose valorous deeds and actions proved worthy of its name; It never stooped to combat one that was not a worthy foe; This team is proudly honoured wherever it will go. With leather against leather our battles hard we waged, And proved our rivals' equals each time we were engaged; In black and white we proved our might in all our games and wars, And were forced to play a final, with the Aberpennar Stars. For the coveted cup we were runners up, but hard luck was our fate, For Maesycymmer stole a march till the year 1908; When with vigour true and strength anew our forces are made up, With ball and speed and scoring greed next year we'll win the Cup. This team that I toast, is cur pride and boast, with its gallant Capt. Fortt, Its centres., baeks, and forwards, who were heroes in each fort; Its full-back fly oft stopped a try, his team he never slighted, And the worthy secretary keeps Cefn- pennar still "United." A.B.

BRIEF SKETCH OF MR. HUBERT FORTT. CHAMPION WALKER OF WALES. Mr. Hubert Fortt, apart from being the ,organiser of the Cefnpennar United Rugby Football Club, is an all-round sportsman, and a champion walker. A I- though onlly a youngster of 19 years, he is 5 ft. lIt inches in height, and turns the scale at list. 91bs. His first walk was at the Cefnpennar contest four years ago, the distance being nine miles. He took the first prize in a very stubborn contest. His trainer then was Mr. David William Flower, of Cefnpennar. Not long afterwaids he was challenged by Mr. David John Jenkins, of Cwmbach. Fortt accepted the challenge, and de- feated his opponent in a 15-miles walk by 20 minutes. Fortt took the lead, and Jen- LMR. HUBERT FORTT.] kins never came up to him. His next walk was in a match arranged between him and Stuart Mills, of Abercynon, who conceded Fortt 8 minutes, Fortt winning by 2 minutes and 19 seconds. This win caused great excitement throughout Mountain Ash, and Fortt was quickly challenged by Tom Thomas (Dar- den Las). Fortt picked up the gauntlet. A match for X20 aside was arranged to take place at Pontypridd Track. Fortt was once more the winner, beating his op- ponent by 60 yards in two miles. On this occasion Mr. Jabe Grant was the trainer. Fortt was not allowed to rest long be- fore he was challenged by G. Nutt, of Newtown, Mountain Ash. Fortt accepted the challenge, but a dispute arose, and Nutt was disqualified. However, they agreed to add more to the stake, and have the walk over again. The result was that the invincible Fortt came out a winner once more. Ilia next attempt was at the "Brut e Walk" up to Hirwain and back, in which there were 12 or 13 competitors. In this match again he succeeded in coming heme first, and Joe Ellery third—both being Cefnpennar boys. Fortt subse- quently defeated Osborne, of Abercynon; Tom Thomas, Mountain Ash; and G. Nutt, N ewtown. A match was partly ar- ranged lately between J. Evans, Treorky, and Hubert Fortt to walk a quarter of a mile. But for some reasons unknown. J. Evans withdrew, and the match fell through. Fortt-felt greatly disappointed because he was denied a match with the champion of wales. Hubert Fortt is now considered the Champion of Wales oni a quarter of a mile walk, and is willing to take any man on that distance for any money 1 above £10. Hubert Fortt also won a gold medal at the Cardiff Empire in the 200 yards walking competition. There were four competitors in the final. The Manager of the Track Apparatus, in pre- senting Fortt with the medal, stated that he was the best amateur walker that had ever set foot on his track.

Helpful to Aberdare. When w-3 are in trouble how helpful it is to hear of a means of relief from our neighbours, who have suffered in the same way as are doing. Many here in iberdare must be going through the seme trial as is described for us by an Aberdare woman, and many will be grate- ful to her for telling us how she was ible to set herself right. Mrs. P. Williams, 17, Hall-street, Aber- lare, says: -«Fo.r years I suffered with ny kidneys. Sharp, cutting pains seized lie in the back, and at nights I couldn't deep, or turn from side to side in bed. My body seemed to swell up after I had ny meals, and I was tired and languid n the mornings. I had urinary troubles, :oo, the secretions being unnatural. "Nothing I tried did me any good ex- sept Doan's backache kidney pills, and hese helped me from the first. Now, my )8ck is better than it has been for years, md the urinary system is in proper order. I can well recommend Doan's )ills." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two billings and ninepence per box (six boxes or thirteen shillings and ninepence). Of 11 chemists and stores, or post free, irect from Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Veils-street, Oxford-street, London; W. E. sure you get exactly the same kind of ills that Mrs. Williams had.
