Association. By "Spectator." Aberdare Thursdays v. Mardy. Played at the New Athletic Grounds on Thurs day last. Both teams were at full strength, the visitors including Hugh Jones, the International full-back. The homesters were determined to have the best of this encounter, as the Mardyite* inflicted a defeat on the Darians when they met last. Mr. Willie Edwards offi- ciated. In the first, half the teams were evenly matched, but the Darians had the ad- vantage in front of goal, two goals being put on before the interval. In the second portion the home forwards mulled their opportunities on numerous occasions, the Mardy goal-keeper having no difficulty yi clearing his charge. A splendid run by Alf Pickering from the half-way line saw the sprinter rounding Hugh Jones in capital style, and when about ten yards from the net sent in a terrific grounder which beat the custodian all the way. Loose play on the part of the home de- fenders let in the Mardy right wing, who shot from a most difficult angle the ball going under the bar far out of the reach of Jaynes. Final score: Aberdare and District Thursdays, 4 goals; Mardy, 1 goal. On Thursday next (to-day) the Mid- Weekers take on more formidable op- ponents, the local C'roscents being pitted against them. The game, which, by the way, is for the benefit of Billy Powell, is certain to produce good football, as the contestants are no mean exponents of the dribbling code. If only for the sake of young Powell, let us hope that a large crowd will witness the match. What price the following eleven doing dutv for the Mid-Weekers in this Local Derbv ? :—Goal, Fred Jaynes; backs, Edmund Evans and Alf Pickering; three- quarter backs, Cliff Brain, Fred Bassett, and Tom Thomas; forwards, Rees Thomas, Harry Williams, Eees James, Tom Price, and Tom Probert. I hardly think the Champion Saturday team cap- able of overcoming such a sturdy eleven. However, we shall see. The final of the South Wales and Mon. Cup came off on Saturday before a large crowd. Treharris and Merthyr Vale were the contestants, and Mr. Davies, Rhayader held the whistle. From start to finish the display of both teams was disappointing, the Treharris men being expected to give a good show. All the scoring took place in the first half, the two Williams' of Treharris beating U11- <lerhill, who gave a. splendid exhibition of goalkeeping. In the later stages of the game the leaders were too prone to find touch, Tagg Williams and Steve Jones being the chief offenders, with the result that hundreds of the spectators left the held before the termination of the match. On Saturday the Darians paid a return visit to Merthyr in a Glamorgan League fixture. A short time back the Darians unexpectedly trounced their redoubtable opponents on the New Athletic Ground after a splendid struggle, and with no semblance of e fluke. After the game the Merthyrites promised to return the com- pliment in the next meeting. They were, however, out of their reckoning, for in the present instance the Darians pulled off a pointles- draw. This is all the more creditable to the Darians, wTho were not at full strength. The Aberdare team are to be complimented, as no other Glamor- gan League team, if I am not greatly mis- taken, have secured three points from Merthyr. J I now learn that the proposed match between Crescents and Thursdays has been abandoned. C

Rugby* By "Spectator." We wish to draw special attention to the match which will be played at the New -Ythietic Grounds, Aberdare, 011 Tuesdav. April 16th-Fair Day-between the old rivals. Merthyr and Aberdare. Matches between the stalwarts of the two neighbouring xowns have always been most pleasant and interesting. Much in- terest is attached to this encounter owing to the,fact that hitherto Merthyr has never beaten Aberdare. On this occa- sion Merthyr will be assisted by Mac ("-I-e,ol- the famous Scottish Internation- al, as centre three-quarter, and Chris Williams as outside half. Merthyr are putting forth their very best team, and so is Aberdare. The latter is determined to retain its reputation, and the former is equally determined to snatch the laur- els from the Darians. Undoubtedly the frav will be witnessed by a crowd of in- terested spectators. There will be a veritable tug-of-war, as is always the case when Greek meets Greek. We learn that Aberdare have arranged a fixture with Swansea (F. Serine's team), which includes Swansea's full team. The date is April 29th. Particu- lars regarding the constitution of the team will appear in our next issue. This being the valedictory match of the season, it is hoped that it will be exten- sively and enthusiastically supported in order to give a gtood finish to the football season. All's well that end's well. On Thursday (to-day) the Dare Club will be entertained at Treherbert in a Glamorgan League Fixture, when the home team will have to be on their best behaviour if they wish to pull off a win, as the Darians in their present form are "hot stuff." On Saturday Penygraig will be visited in search of League points, while on Monday Brvnmawr will be the venue. The following fifteen have been selected for Thursday and two following matches: Full-back, Phillips; three-quarter backs, Alf Pickering, Bert Whittle, Clissold, and Owens; half backs, Rhys Eees and Sam Gibbon; forwards, Jack Jones, Griff John, Thomas Protheroe, Tom Arch, Richards, Bevan, and Howell David. The only Junior match of any note in the district was that played between the Excelsiors and Stars of Aberaman on Michael's Field. After a hard and ex- citing tussle the game ended in a draw of one goal each.

Daeth amser i'r adar i ganu ac hefycl i'r cantorion cynulleidfaol i ail-ddechr?u perori. Y mae cymanfaoedd canu wedi dechreu o ddifrif. Gyda dyfodiad gwre- gwanwyn a haf bydd gwres y gan jn cyn- yddu. So well he'll tsing a solo—in the field, With a full crescendo, Rolling and ending, as you know, In a tender rallantando. Yn y "Western Mail" dywedir mai dyma ffurf englyn Seisnig Owain Aran i'r Asyn." Ond fel hyn y mae y cwpled diweddol yn iawn: — "He does on end, as you know, A tender rallantando." Medrai Aran gynghaneddu yn rhwydd ac yn rhugl yn yr iaith fain. Un tro, pan yn desgrifio ei deimlad wrth glywed peroriaeth felus, meddai: I was, I felt, on the wing Far in heaven for one evening." Dywedai am gyfaill iddo, yr hwn ydoedd gerddor hwylus, "Music is to him easy, Mozart, I affirm is he." Yr oedd tipyn o ddireidi yn ogystal ag awenyddiaeth yn y bardd o odreox'r Aran. Un tro darfu i wenynen bigo hen fardd o Dolgellau ydoedd yn orweiddiog, ac, meddid, yn hytrach yn ddiog. Clywodd Owain am hynt y pigiad, a rhoddodd bigiad ychwanegol i'r hen frawd yn y ffurf o englyn fel y canlyn: — Wenynen gymen, ddigas,—eto dos At y dyn anaddas, Piga, niweidia'r hen was, Ac anfon ef o'i gynfas. Digiodd y pigiedig i raddau, a bu cryn fesur cleddyfau cynghaneddol rhwng Owain .ac yntau ar ol hyn. Yr hen fardd gwelygar aroddodd yr ergyd olaf, yr hwn ydoedd fel hyn — Rhyw afiach sothach rhy sal—yw croesder I'r Cristion ei gynal; Y dyn da nid yw'n dial, Dywed ef mai Duw a dal. Dyna, beth oedd knock out blow" cnide ? Bethydyvr geuius?" Gwyr y rhan fwyaf o honom ana ddeffiniad Carlyle, An infinite capacity for taking paina." Cwerylai y diweddar Watcyn Wyn desgrifiad hwn o ddyn o athrylith. Os cywir hwn, haerai Wat fod gwladwr trwsg'l a diymenydd a adwaenai yn 11 genius," oblegyd meddai allu ac amyn- add diderfyn i gymeryd trafferth gyda ihywbeth. Gwelir llawer dyn yn chwys ac yn chwalfa gyda'i orchwyl. Cymer boen dibendraw gyda'i waith, ond nid yw y gwaith a wnel yn werth y chwys a gyll na'r halen a fwyty. Na, rhodd ydyw athrylith. Rhaid geni athrylith gyda genedigaeth ei hawdwr. Spontaneous generation ydyw ei chenedliad hi. Yr oedd Burns yn 'genius' o fardd. Yr oedd canu cerddi ei wlad mor naturial iudo ag anadlu awelon ei wlad. Nid oes ol cymeryd trafferth ar ganeuon Ceiriog ddim mwy nag sydd ar ielodedd yr ehed- ydd a wna ddyffryn Ceiriog yn wynfa ar fore o Ebrill. Dichon mae trwy lawer o boen a. blinder astudiaeth y daeth Ben Bowen yn feistr ar dduwinyddiaeth, ond yr oedd yn barddoni pan yn blentyn tyner heb freuddwydio am gwrs efrydiol. Yr oedd ei dalent farddonol yn lan ac yn ddysglaer yn ei feddiant pan yn llencyn. Gallai ddywedyd, I .sing because I love to sing." Yn ol y Parch. Ben Davies, Cymro un- iaith ydoedd Trebor Mai. and ni phrawf hyny ei fod yn Gymro mwy naturiol a chynhenid na phe buasai yn alluog i siarad estron ieithoedd yn rhugl. Pa Gymro mwy gwladgar na Thalhaiarn, yr hwn a dreuliodd ran helaeth o'i oes yn Llundain a Ffi'ainc, a'r hwn a allai siarad iaith y Ffrancod gyda rhwyddin- eb? Bu Ceiriog yntau yn alltud yn mysg y Saesou am y rhan oreu o haf ei oes, ond nid oerodd ei sel Gymreig, ac 111 chollodd un gronyn o'i genedlaetholdeb. "Canai: "Mab y myii ydd ydwyf finau Oddicartref yn gwneyd can, Ond mae 'nghalon yn y mynydd Efo'r grug a'r defaid man." Er fod ei dafod yn parablu Saesneg' yn gyson, yr oedd ei galon mor Gymreigaidd ag eiddo Trebor Mai. Eisoes y mae son am wneyd Eisteddfod Llangollen yn un wir (xynireigaide. Wrth gwrs, y mae siarad o'r fath yn blaenori pob Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, ac eto y mae yr wyl yn myned yn fwy Seis- nigaidd o flwyddyn i flwycldyn. Byddai rhywbeth yn ramantus mewn cael eisteddfod wir Gymreig dan gysgod Castell Dinas Bran, y fan a ysbrydolodd prif fardd telvnegol Cymru i ganu prif riangerdd ein hiaith. Pa ddyn yn bercheii synwyr iach a all ddarllen Myfanwy Fychan" heb gael ei swyno gandcli ? Dylid cael eystadleuaetl1 cydrhwng y Tad Vaughan a'r Tad Ignatius. Yn y gwaith o ddynoethi beiau cymdeithas y mae y ddau yn bencampwyr. Lied ddys- taw ydyw Ignatius wedi bod yn ddi- weddar, ond diau y cawn cyn hir glywed ei lais, nid yn y diffaethweh ond ar laiiau y mor yn rhywle. Ymcklengys fod y Parch. R. J. Camp- bell wedi ychwanegu at ei grefydd new- ydd Sosialaeth, ac y mae dilynwjrr Robbie Blatchford yn llawenhau, oblegyd y mae ffydd boliticaidd a chrefyddol y City Temple mor debyg i eiddo y Clarion. Cyfieithir Ynysboeth yn Hot Island gan rai ydynt, ef allai., yn fwy cyfarwydd a. geiriadur Cymraeg nag a daearydd- iaeth glanau y Cynon. Dol r.(-u faes a olygir wrth ynys yn y eysylltiad yma. Myn rhai hefyd nad oes gwres yn gysyllt- iedig a'r gair "boeth," ac mai Ynys-y- boeth" a ddylai fod. A Phedr a ganlynodd o hirbell." Dyna destyn y Parch. J. J. Evans, Rhyd- wilym, y pregethwr blaenaf yn nghwrdd mawr Calfaria. Aberdar, nos Sul. Dilyn- wyd y pregethwr, nid o hirbell, ond ar unwaith gan Pedr Hir. Wrth bregethu yn Bethania, Aberd&r, y Sul gwnaeth y Parch. J. Morgan Jones, Caerdydd, ddefnydd o alegori brydferth o eiddo y Parch Henry Rees. Desgrifiai y ddaear yn adeg y Nadolig yn achwyn wrth yr haul fod ei chroen mor galed a haiarn, ei nentydd grisialog yn gloedig, ei blodau yn wyw a'i choedydd yn estyn allan eu breichiau moelion heb ddalen i addurno eu garddyrnau. Atebiad yr haul ydoedd, Tyred yn nes attaf fi, a mi a ddatgloaf dy nentydd cloedig, mi a'th wisgaf a meillion ac a'th addurnaf a gwyrddlesni. Paraf hefyd i'r adar dy- wallt eu melodedd yn dy demlau. Tyred yn nês attaf." Wrth gwrs y cynhwys- iad ydoedd anogaeth i'r eglwys dd'od yn nes i Haul mawr y Cyfiawnder. Adrodd- ai Mr. Jones am ryw hen frawd yn Ffynon-daf oedd yn cael ami i ornest gyda'r diafol. Os byddaf yn ei deimlo yn myned yn drech na mi, byddaf yn galw ar fachgen Bethlehem," meddai yr hen frawd, ac yna byddaf yn sicr o fuddugoliaeth." Y duedd yn y dyddiau hyn-dyddiau y dduwinydiaeth newydd-ydyw amheu personoliaeth tad y celwydd. Adroddir am un hen dduwinydd yn y ganrif o'r blaen yn gofyn i un arall, "Aydychchwi yn tybied fod y diafol yn berson?" Person yn wir," oedd yr atebiad, mae yn eithaf da iddo fod yn glochydd yn fy marn i." Yn y bregeth y cyfeiriwyd ati gwnaeth y Parch. J. M. Jones un sylw hynod. f Dywedai fod bywyd crefyddol yn effeithio yn ffafriol hyd y nod ar gorph dyn, ac fod yr effaith ddaionus hon yn para hyd y nod ar ol claddu y corph yn mlaen hyd yr adgyfodiad, pryd y cyfodai ar ffurf ogoneddus. I ategi y ddamcaniaeth hynod hon difynodd y pregethwr yr adnod, Ei esgyrn sydd yn llawn o feechodau ei ieuenctyd, yr hwn a orwedd gydag ef yn y pridd." Honai os ydoedd pechod yn llygru gweddillion yr annuw. fod rhinwedd hefyd yn gogoneddu rhan farwol y duwiol. Beth bynag am y pridd i'r pridd ofnwn na ddaliai damcaniaeth y duwinydd o Gaerdydd wres ffwrn y crematorium." Genedigol o Gwmystwyth ydoedd y | Parch. John Morgan, gweinidog y Meth- odistiaid yn Ynyshir, yr hwn a fu farw dydd Gwener. Cafodd ei ordeinio yn 1899. Wrth anerch cyfarfod yn Methesda yr wythnos ddiweddaf dywedodd Mr. Wil- liam Jones, A.S. dros Arfon, ei fod yn berffaith sicr y byddai i fesur Dadgysyllt- iad ddyfod gerbron y Senedd nesaf. Ai ni fyddai yn well myned ati yn gyntaf i ddiddymu Ty yr Arglwyddi, neu odid fawr na fydd Bil Dadgysylltiad yn bur fuan yn yr un gladdfa a'i ddiweddar gefnder, Bil Addysg ?

S. W. Miners' Federation
S. W. Miners' Federation The Executive Council of the South W ales Miners' Federation met at Cardiff on Monday under the presidency of Mr. W. Abraham, M.P. (Mabon). A CASE OF IMPORTANCE. Two or three months ago a collier named Davies, one of the workmen on strike at the Brittanic Colliery, Gilfach Goch, secured employment under the Glamorgan Coal Company, and "signed on in the usual way. Before, however, he actually commenced work he was turned away on the ground, so it is al- leged, that he was a striker. The Feder- ation took the matter up, and instituted proceedings, claiming for the man a month s wages in lieu of notice. Messrs. Walter Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas, solicitors for the Federation, now re- ported that the company had paid the amount claimed, and thus the action was settled out of court. THE PROPOSED MINING SCHOOL. Mr. Alfred Onions was appointed to represent the Federation on the Uni- versity College Advisory Committee in connection with the proposed school of mining for South Wales and Monmouth- shire. TWO AND A HALF YEARS OLD STRIKE. Two and a half years ago the 1,600 men employed at the Hemsworth Colliery, Yorkshire, struck work. The dispute is still unsettled, and the colliery remains idle. Eight hundred of the workmen found employment at other collieries, and the other 800 are in receipt of strike pay from the funds of the Yorkshire Miners' Union. A deputation from these 800 men attended before the Council stat- ing that they were seeking to supplement the strike pay by appealing for help to the various mining organisations throughout Great Britain. The Council resolved to vote X50 for the relief of these men, and requested the president (Mr W. Abraham', M.P.) to interview the officials of the Yorkshire Miners' Union for the purpose of ascertaining what had been done to facilitate a settlement of the dispute. THE GENERAL. WAGE-RATE. It is generally believed that the work- men's side of the Conciliation Board will propose an advance of wages on the 1st of next month, and it was arranged at this meeting that a meeting of the wages committee should be convened for Mon- day next, in order to prepare a case. Notice of an application for an advance of wages must be given on the 1st prox., and the meeting of the board to consider it will be held on tho 10th of next month. EIGHT HOURS' BILL. The Eight Hours' Bill will come before the House of Comn^ons on Friday next. Messrs. W. Harris, Enoch Morrell, and William Vyce were appointed to attend a meeting of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain to be held on Thursday night in London. THE WATTSTOWN DISASTER. FUND. For the administration of the moneys recently obtained for the dependents of the victims of the Wattstown Colliery disaster as a result of the proceedings at common law against the owners of the colliery, it was resolved that the fol- lowing gentlemen be requested to be- come trustees in accordance with the order of the Court: —Messrs.
