Porth and OistrictOhamber of Trade. Lighting of Streets. Chamber Indignant at Council's Attitude, The annual meeting of the above Chamber was held on Thursday evening last at the Washington Hotel, Porth, when Mr. D. M. Jones (Gladstone House) pre- sided over a very representative attend- ance. The minutes of previous meeting being adopted, Mr. J. Thompson referred to Captain Edgar Thomas' report on the inadequacy of water supply in case of fire at Porth, sayinc should he ever— though he hoped not-see another fire, he would remind the Chamber of Captain Thomas' report. A letter was read from the' Mid- Rhondda Chamber of Trade, informing them of a public meeting to be held on November 3rd, at Richards' Hall Tony- palídy, to consider the question of incor- porating the Rhondda. and that Coun- cillors R. S. Griffiths. J.P.. D. Watts Morgan and Tom Evans would address the meeting, and requesting the Chamber to appoint three gentlemen to attend. After an address by Mr. Thompson, Messrs. Wm. Evans (Thomas & Evans), J. T. Jones and John Thompson were elected to 'attend. Apropos of the better lighting of Porth, and the Rhondda. Urban District Coun- cil's refusal to accede to the Chamber's recent request, the Secretary read the following letter which he had forwarded to Mr. W. P. Nicholas, Clerk of the Council Dear Sir,—Adverting to my letter of June 9th and your reply of July 9th, I'm afraid that I did not succeed in making the views of the Chamber clear enough to you, and I am instructed to ask the Council to re-consider the mat- ter from another view. viz., that the present lighting of these streets (Hannah Street and Station Street) is notoriously insufficient on Sunday and Thursday evenings after, say, 8 o'clock. These main streets are usually crowded every evening, and the present condition of lighting not only causes incoveniences, but it also results in a great amount of 4. skylarking and jostling by gangs of youths, who make things very un- pleasant for aged people who use the streets in the ordinary way. That this jostling is more noticeable after busi- ness hours in the evenings and on Sun- day nights, is sufficient proof that the lamps of the open shops have a deterrent effect, and that it would disappear altogether if the streets were better lighted when the shops are closed. In answer to this letter, Mr. Williams had received the following reply — Council Chambers, Pentre. Dear Sir,—Your letter of the 7th inst. was duly submitted to the Council, and in reply thereto I have been directed to state that all the facts were well within the knowledge of the Council when they caused the letter of the 9th ult. to be sent to your Chamber, and the Council have nothing further to acid to that letter. W. P. Nicholas. The Chamber were indignant at this reply. Mr. Thompson said that if the distances between the lamp-posts were measured, they would find that the lamps at Porth were further apart than at other parts of the Valley. Mr. Wm. Evans said he did not know anything about the dis- tance, but he certainly thought they should take no notice of the letter from the Council. Better lighting for towns was no new thing. It had been advocated throughout the country. The letter, he thought, was almost an insult to their Chamber. They had ft good case even on general principles, apart from the dis- tances between the lamps. We have a splendid case," said Mr. Evans, and we certainly should not let it drop." On the motion of Mr. J. T. Jones, a depu- tation of five were appointed to wait upon the District Council to discuss the matter. A letter was also read from the London and North Western Railway Company, offering to place at their disposal Mr. and Mrs. J. Scott, lecturer on the beauties of various parts of the United Kingdom while Mrs. Scott would contribute Scotch melodies if thev desired. The onlv con- ditions laid down by the railway com- pany were that sleeping accommodation be provided for Mr. and Mrs. Scott, and that a hall and pianist be found. The matter was left in abeyance. TERRITORIALS FOR PORTH. Air. WiDiams explained that he had written Colonel James asking him to re- ceive a deputation, and had received a reply in the affirmative, but owing to the serious illness of some members of the deputation they had been unable to attend. He had, however, written ask- ing the Colonel to kindly appoint another day next week. To this letter lie had had no reply, but he bdheard that Colonel James had resigned his po-sition and that Colonel Lewis had been appointed in his place. W itli reference to the LlwyneeJyn Bridge and its deplorable condition, Mr. Wm. Evans proposed that a letter be sent to the Council, pointing out the great I I I need of having it altered. The motion was carried unanimously. SHOP HOURS ACT. A letter was also read from the Dis- trict Council to the effect that they had fully considered the Chamber's appeal re the Shop Hours Early Closing petition, and that it disclosed a nrima facie case in favour of making a Closing Order, and that the Council were resolved to take the prescribed steps towards making the Closing Order in the above-named Act for regulating the hours in -the shows of butchers, grocers, drapers, boot and shoe shops. &c., of Porth, C ymnier, Trehafod and Ynyshir, and that steps would be taken at once to prepare a register show- ing the numbers, trades and shops to be affected by the proposed Order as required hv the regulations framed under the Act (hear. hear). A notice of motion brought forward by Mr. J. T. Jonas, viz., "The power of the County Court to commit for non-com- pliance with judgment orders," was referred to the Federated Chambers of Trade for their consideration. Mr. Wm. Evans (Thomas & Evans) was elected hon. president of the Chamber;

RUGBY. TREHERBERT (N.U.) 18pts., SWANSEA (N.U.) 2.- In glorious football weather at Tre- herbert on Saturday, Swansea (Morriston), a newly organised Northern Union team, played their first match, before a fair gate. Evan Davies kicked off for Swan- sea. Play was returned to halfway, where a scrum was formed. The home backs got into motion, but the movement was spoiled through one of the centres being tackled with the ball in possession. Beau- tiful passing by the Treherbert backs seemed likely to end in a score, when Dai Harris intercepted and carried play back to the centre. A free kick to Treherbert resulted in Dingley making an unsuccess- ful attempt at goal. The home backs again started passing, but on two occa- sions it broke down. In the loose play which followed, Dingley received a pass and crossed with a try. The same player converted. Swansea brought off several pretty rounds of passing, but of no avail. Wat Evans ran brilliantly down the touch line for Treherbert, but his pass to Bevan was fumbled. Shortly before the interval, Francis dropped a neat goal for the home team from a penalty. After the restart, a magnificent try was scored by Treherbert. A passing move- ment was initiated by Felton on his own line. D. H. Edwards, Tom Edwards and Francis handled in turn. The ball was taken over the whole length of the field, and Francis, who received last, scored nmidst great cheers, for Dingley to con- vert. After this, Swansea took up the aggressive for a short while, and Jenkins dropped a goal. Treherbert had to defend again after this, until Wat Evans took play to the Swansea line with a useful run and cross-kick. Tom Edwards fol- lowed up smartly and scored a clever try. The kick failed. Then Francis made a beautiful dash for the line and crossed, but the try was not allowed. The Rhondda team continued to attack. Their forwards dribbled well, and Bevan scored, j Dingley converting. Treherbert was alto- gether too strong a side for the Swansea team. Although during the first half the home team diet not have all its own way, Swansea was completely outplayed in the second half of the game. Play was very fast. Many players in the visiting team, accustomed as they were to the slower amateur game, had much difficulty in keeping up with the pace. The Treher- bert backij played a fine passing game when they had the ball. Francis and Wat Evans being most prominent. The score might have been much greater but for the sterling defence of the visitors, espe- cially, Jowett, Dai Harris, and their custodian. TREORCHY 6pts., PENYGRAIG 0. These teams met in a friendly on the Athletic Grounds. Treorchy, on Monday afternoon. The game was witnessed by a large crowd. Treorchy, who with the exception of one player were fully repre- sented, were far superior to Peny," who arrived with six men wanting. Passing was the most conspicuous feature of the game. and the tries notched by Spiller and Will Howells for Treorchy were com- mendable. FERN DALE ROVERS 6pts., OLD SCARLETS 3. A benefit match for the Ferndale Ambu- lance Brigade was played bv the above teams on Darran Lake Grounds. Mr. T. H. Buffton, superintendent Ambulance Brigade, kicked off. The initial stages of the game were very even, many chances to score were given, but no advantage was taken of them by either side. E. Benjamin set his three-quarters going, and W. E.- John scored behind the posts for the Rovers. The kick failed. Soon afterwards, Richards scored for the Scarlets, but the kick for goal failed. In the second half, the Rovers attacked vigorously, and after a fine bout of passing ana a cross-kick E. Davies scored, but the hick for goal added nothing to the score. TREORCHY OLD BOYS 6pts., TRE- BANOG O. Treorchy Old Boys administered a severe clout to the Trebanog team at Ti-ebaiiogeoii Saturday to the tune of one converted goal and two tries to nil. Will Morris scored one and T. Geo. Chapman two tries for Treorchy, George Evans con- verting on one occasion. DINAS STARS 0. CILFYNYDD 0. Played at Cilfynydd. The Stars were minus Granville and Summerville, their wing and centre, and two of their for- wards. Dinas should have scored several times, as they outclassed their opponents in the second half. Glastonbury was the most prominent in the forwards, while Davies, Griffiths and Morgans • ed a sound game at back.

ASSOCIATION. CWMPARC & TREORCHY UNITED 2gls., EBBW VALE 2. This preliminary round in the Welsh Cup competition was played at Bbbw Vale last Saturday, before a poor crowd. U. Thomas substituted (injured) at full-back, but otherwise the United were at full strength. The Valians were the first to score, a shot from Pattison bouncing in front of the goal and luckily scraping under the bar. The Park for- wards showed nice combination, but were checked by vigorous play by the home halves and backs. Several frees were given against the homesters, culminating in a penalty for a bad foul against Peake, Dickv Jones converting. In the second half, weak refereeing allowed the play to become rough, the home centre-half" being; frequently pulled up. Mitchell was unaccountably sent off a few minutes after Geo. Jones gave Park the lead yith a pretty goal. J. Hughes, going centre-half, assisted the defence I materially, and it was on the call of time and in semi-darkness that Waddington equalised for the homesters, the Park defenders vainly appealing for offside. Mr. Rollinson's control of the game was dis- pleasing to both sides. The renlay takes place at Cwmparc on Saturday next, when the United will field the same eleven. A win for the ho testers will entitle them to meet Ton-Pentre in the next round on November 13th. TON 7gls., CARDIFF CORINTHIANS 1. This game in the qualifying round of the Welsh Cup was played under ideal conditions on Saturday on the Ynys, before a good attendance. The score is a good indication of the respective merits of the teams. In the opening stages the City men showed good form, and pretty pass- ing was seen. They fell away, however, a great deal before half-time. The home- sters were the heavier men, and their weight was made good use of. Roberts drew first blood for Ton, and soon after Fyfe, the home skipper, sent two beauties into the net. After the interval, Ton had matters more their own way. The Corinthians lost heart, and goals were piled on by Tommy Davies (2), Will Jones and Reed. A word of praise is due to Trainer Breeze, who seems to have infused some of his energy into the Ton players. Every man appears to be well trained, and played bang 'up to the call of no side. ARC CRESCENTS 3gls., TYLORS- TOWN 0. This match was played at Cwmparc, before a fair gate. Both sides were at full strength. The home side excelled in both defence and attack. W. J. Edwards was prominent at centre forward, and showed great pace and good shooting powers. He scored a good goal. the other points being secured by. Stedman and Haydn Evans, who is making great pro-

-+-- Shots for Goal. The protest re Rhymney Valley League and T'reharris will come on at the next Council meeting at Wrexham. Hurrah! The Ton Committee are to be congratulated upon erecting a Press box on the field. A long-felt want has now been supplied. Ton and Merthyr are now the only teams that can boast of Press boxes on their fields in South Wales. A good game should be witnessed on the Ynys nexit Saturday, when Aberdare will oppose Ton. Tommy Davies was en his mettle on Saturday last. His juggling with the | ball, and also with his opponents, created 'roars of laughter. Treherbert Ex-Schoolboys played Ton- yrefail at Treherbert last Saturday. The homesters fairly walked over their oppo- nents, defeating them by 20 points to nil. The score was made up of one goal and five tries, the scorers being F. Raymond (2), Wm. Allen (2) W. Williams and W. H. Colwill; Tom Evans converted one. Very little good back play was seen. The forwards had most of the play to them- selves. Dan Green, at outside half, worked the scrums in fine style for the Ex-Schoolboys. There is no truth in the rumour that Mr. T. J. Rogers, late trainer to the Treherbert Athletic Club, has given up office with that club for the purpose of joining the Ex-Schoolboys. Treherbert (N.U.) won their first match I this season against Swansea on Saturday, so that out of seven matches played they have only won one. Dingley kicked for them their first goal of the season. The same player was in really great form in the open. He was always conspicuously to the front. Francis, as usual, played a first-class game. He was the best back on the field. Wat Evans showed rare speed and dash, and Felton also, at full-back, was a decided success. Blaenrhondda Association Team played their first League match at Blaenrhondda on Saturday against Gelli. The home team annexed the points. A match between Ynyswen Rovers and Penrhys was played last Monday on the Old Cricket Field, Treherbert. The Rovers managed to beat their opponentis by 2 goals to 1. On the Rhondda P.T. Centre Grounds last Saturday, the Punil Teachers' Team opposed a team of Ex-Pupil Teachers in a Soccer match. The score of 5 goals to 2 decided the game in favour of the P.T.'s. For the Ex-P.T.'s the scorers were Tom Jones and I E. D. Thomas, and the scorers for the P.T.'s were Abel Jones (2), Wyndham I Lewis, J. Williams, and S. Rowlands.

Before the game' was ten minutes old Spear opened the score for the visitors with a splendid head in from a well-placed corner taken by lies. Still keeping up the pace, lies met a rebound from the home goalie, and with a terrific drive scored Ton's second goal. Give and take play followed, but the visitors were get- ting the best of matters owing to the fine footwork of the forwards and the splen- did headwork of the halves. Wattstown scored their only goal in the second half within three minutes from the end. CARDIFF UNIVERSITY 3gls., FERN- DALE THURSDAYS 2.

This match, under the auspices of the Aberdare Thursday League, was played on Thursday afternoon at the Ynys Field, Ton. No score was made in the first half, although the homesters were superior, in spite of playing against the wind. In the second moiety, the local team soon obtained a leading goal, and two others were added before the final whistle. The scorers were Alf. Williams (2) and W. Leonard. The score of 3 to nil just about represents the superiority of the home team. play followed, but the visitors were get- YNYSHIR ALBIONS 6gls., PORTH JUNIORS 0. At Ynyshir.

The Porth defence again had a warm time, Anthony saving finely from Evans, who, however, scored with a fine shot, followed soon by another by Ashton. Half-time arrived with the Albions leading by 4 goals to nil. On the restart, the Albions attacked, but fine defence by Thomas and Anthony kept them at bay. The Albions' forwards, however, were not to be denied, for after a nice bit of passing, Evans scored with a great shot, to be shortly followed by another from Ashton. The pick of Porth were Anthony and the brothers Thomas and the Albions were best served by James, Owen, Evans, and Ashton. TABERNACLE (TREORCHY) loglis., FERNDALE (ENG. WES.) 0. The Tabernacle eleven bid fair for a successful season. On Saturday, they journeyed to Ferndale, and were victors to the tune of 10 goals to nout."
