Mid-Rhondda Orpheus Glee Society. Concent at Tonypandy. A concert was given by the above Society at Ebenezer Chapel, Tonypandy, on Thursday evening last in aid of the Society's funds, to enable the party to compete at the National," London, this week. In the unavoidable absence of Mr. W. P. Nicholas, Trealaw, Mrs. Nicholas kindly occupied the chair. Beside the choir, conducted by Mr. Emrys Richards, the following artistes contributed towards the programme: Soprano, Miss Carrie Jones, Penygraig; contralto; Madame Lewis, Ynyshir tenors, Messrs. W. J. Thomas, Williams- town, T. Lloyd Jones, Tonypandy, and W. Williams, Trealaw; bassos, Messrs. R. 0. Jones and Willie Richards. Accom- panist, Miss Jennie Evans (Double Silver and Bronze Medallist). In listening to the party's singing, we at once noticed a wonderful and vast improvement on their Mountain Ash form. The bottom basses have developed a much better tone and method of attack, whilst the first tenors have polished their head notes marvellously. Turning to the second tenors and first basses, considerable improvement has also been made in these departments. In the glee, O peaceful night," we enjoyed the delicious finesse, every part blending per- fectly, and what is more, finishing dead in pitch and intonation. In Fair Semete's high-born Son," where plenty of brass is required, the power of Welsh vocalism was gloriously revealed. Accord- ing to Dr. McNaught, The Reveille is the most difficult test piece ever written for male voices. In the rendition of Elgar's masterpiece, the party displayed a wonderful training which could only be gfined from a. master hand. In order to do the piece full justice, it is absolutely pessary for choir and conductor alike to get, as it were, inside the composer's meaning. The Reveille is almost Wagnerian in conception, and conse- quently extremely difficult to render. However, in their rendering, the party reached a climax in male voice singing which has seldom been reached in this Valley, and we sincerely congratulate Mr. Emrys Richards on the excellent state of perfection to which his choir has attained. Space does not permit of individualising, but every artiste on the programme was greatly enjoyed by the large audience that put in an appearance. In conclusion, we wish our singers every success, and know they will do the land of their birth every credit.

Concert at Ferndale. A grand concert was given by the Pontypridd Ladies' Choir, at the Opera House, Ferndale, on Thursday evening, June 10th, assisted by the following artistes: —Miss May Moses, Madam M. Mayfield (Semi-National winner), Mr. Jas. j Rosser (tenor), Miss Rachel Thomas (Mountain Ash), Mr. David Jones, R.A.M. (contralto!). Accompanist, Miss Violet Volk, A.L.C.M. The choir was well re- ceived and their efforts were thoroughly appreciated. Mr. Davies (Co-operative Stores), who took the chair in the absence of Mr. Hannah (who sent a message regretting his inability to be present), said that he felt proud of the choir, because they were going to represent the district at the National Eisteddfod at London, and he was sure that all present wished them success. Mr. D. Jones opened the concert with a baritone solo, Three for Jack," which was excellently received. Then followed a. chorus by the choir, "Sound Sleep," and a quartet, "A Regular Royal Queen," by Misses Moses and Thomas and Messrs. Rosser and Jones, which received a great ovation. Annie Laurie," by Madam Mayfield, was sung very sweetly, and a tenor solo by Mr. Jas. Rosser, "Come into the garden, laud." was very well received. The "Miserere"- scene from "II Trovatore," by Madam Dora Davies-Willianis, Miss I Nioses and choir, was also excellently sung. Other items were: —Contralto solo, "Love the Pedlar," Miss Rachel Thomas, who was given a. fine reception A Laughing Song," Mr. David Jones (encored); "II Bacio," Miss May Moses, which fairly brought the house down; "Ballad Singers," Messrs. Rosser and Jones; chorus, The Skylark," choir; The Zingara," Miss Rachel Thomas; trio, The Angels' Night Song," Madam Dora Davies-Williams. Messrs. Rosser and ¡ Jones; duet, The Venetian Boat Song," Misses Moses and R. Thomas; Sound an Alarm," Mr. Rosser; Iesu, Cyfaill f'enaid," the choir. All the artistes did I Excellently, but the palm must be given to Miss May Moses, whose voice was in to Miss May Moses, whose voice was in great condition and never heard to better advantage. The singing of "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau brought a most enjoyable evening to a close.

Daniel Howells, Pentre; Wm. Griffitlis, Gelli; Vernon Hunter, Gelli; John James, Gelli; and Wm. John Hammond. Gelli. The annual anniversary of the Wesleyan Sunday School was celebrated on Sunday and Monday. Appropriate and effective sermons and addresses were given by the popular minister, Mr. Newalf, on Sunday morning and evening. In the afternoon, a varied programme was gone through, consisting of songp, choruses, dialogues, recitations and addresses by members of the Sunday School. The conductors of the services were Messrs. Palmer, King- ston, and Hedditch. On Monday after- noon, a tea. was partaken of by the mem- bers and a large number of friends, fol- lowed by innocent games on Tyfry Field. In the evening, a vei- successful enter- tainment was held, the Rev. J. R. Newall presiding. j The ramble arranged for Higher Grade past students took place on Thursday j evening. About twenty members of the Association were present at the starting point—Treorchy Station—at about six o'clock, when the duties of guide and con- ductor were deputed to Mr. J. T. Short, B.A., Treorchy, one of the secretaries of the Association. The ramble included a walk from Cwmparc to Blaenycwm along the mountain tops, and was very much enjoyed. A very quiet wedding took place at Siloh Chapel on Tuesday morning, the contracting parties being Miss Bessie Owens, daughter of Mr. D. Owens, Tre- harne Street, and Mr. David Rees, cooper, Pentre. The wedding knot was tied by the Rev. J. N. Elias, of Treher- bert, who is an uncle of the bride. The bride was given away by her father. A brother of the bridegroom, Mr. Rees, grocer, Maesteg (Pegler and Sons), dis- charged the duties of best man, while a sister of the bride acted as bridesmaid. Mr. and Mrs. Rees are spending their honeymoon at Weston-super-Mare. We wish them health and prosperity. The death of Mrs. James Williams, 6, Carne Street, Pentre, is much regretted. The deceased was an old inhabitant of Pentre and highly respected. Deceased, who had been a member of Siloh Chapel for a number of years, was buried to-day (Thursday) at Treorchv Cemetery, the Rev. D. G. Evans, Bryn Seion, Gelli, officiating in the absence of the Rev. J. J. Williams. A five-days mission is being held at Zion, Pentre, conducted by the Rev. R. B. Jones, Perth. Tliei services have been well attended, and the addresses delivered are very powerful, effective, and extremely practical. That the predicted success of our local champion vocalist, Mr., Tom Bonnell, was based on a good foundation is proved by the result at the National Eisteddfod in London on Tuesday, when he was ad- judged winner in the tenor solo competi- tion out of 35 competitors. Pentre is proud of his achievement and congratu- lates him on his brilliant success. A large crowd congregated near the Bridgend Hotel on Wednesday noon to witness the famous sea lions and seals of Captain Woodward and Mr. Walter Ashcroft feeding upon fish in the window of Messrs. Ruthers. The supply was liberal, but the demand was also very great. There will be a. repetition on Friday noon. --+- A youth who has been Jaorn and bred in Ystrad has just distinguished himself in a, Scriptural examination held by the Welsh Congregational Sunday School Union. We refer to Master Myrddin Evans, who has succeeded in heading the list of candidates at the above examina- tion in the class for children under 16 years of age. He obtained over 85 per cent. of the highest possible marks, thus capturing the first prize of a solid gold medal, hi addition, to a prize of books, value 15s., given by the Sunday Schools of East Glamorgan. of East Glamorgan. The Socialists at Pentre have been very active this week. On Sunday night, near St. Peter's Church, a, fair crowd listened to an address upon Socialism delivered by Mr. Harry Evans. Pontypridd. On Monday evening there was a larger meet- ing, when the Rev. George Neighbour, of Mountain Ash, spoke upon Socialism and its Effects." Mr. Neighbour is a good orator, and his speech was listened to without interruption.
