Mid-Rhondda Orpheus Glee Society. Excellent Performances. One of the finest concerts of the season was that given by the Mid-Rhondda Orpheus Glee Society on Wednesday night at the Judge's Hall, Trealaw, under the conductorship of Mr. Emrys Rich- ards. The audience was, unfortunately, disappointingly email, a tact which may be attributed to the reason that Wednes- day evening is a rather unpopular night for performances of this kind. Mr. Tom John, M.A., presided (in the absence of Mr. Leonard Llewelyn), and said that he must congratulate Mr. Emrys Richards and the choir, together with Mr. Jenkins (the chairman) and Mr. Evans (the secretary), for having taken up such works as they had. It was not often tltat they found a male voice choir in the Rhondda keeping continuously in practice, but that evening they had the pleasure of listening to a choir which had been kept continually at it from their formation. They had also a splendidly trained orchestra, and with these two factors he had no doubt they would have a performance which would amply repay them for their presence, and if the party continued to give such works' as they were going to perform that evening, their fame and reputation would soon be estab- lished in the district, and these concerts would become annual events. The artistes were: —Soprano, Miss Carrie Jones, R.A.M., Penygraig; tenor, Mr. Tlioa. Thomas, R.C.M.; baritone, Mr. R. 0. Jones; bass, Mr. Willie Richards; accompanied by a select orchestra of 21 players. Mr. J. Llewellyn, Penygraig, presided at the piano, and Mr. J. H. Davies, F.L.E.S.. Ynyshir, acted as reader. The proceedings opened with a stirring rendering of Neumann's Sardanapulus," the solo work beins admirably taken by 'Mr. Willie Richards, which could not fail to impress the most unmusical amongst the audience. The various parts were sung with almost perfect precision, and a vociferous applause greeted the grand finale. Next came the miscellaneous portion of the' programme, which comprised the following items —" Three Dances to Henry VIII. the Orchestra; solo, "Serenade," Mr. Tom Thomas, which was encored, and Mr. Thomas responded with Dafydd y Gareg Wen." Miss Carrie Jones followed with an exquisite xendering of Bruch's Ave Maria," fol- lowed in turn by a capital rendering of 'Neath the. Roaring Tide by Mr. R. 0. Jones, who in response to it general demand for an encore gave Y Banerwr." Miss Carrie Jones again appeared with a delightful rendition of the Cuckoo," whilst the massive tones of Mr. Willie Richards were heard to advantage in "The Revenge." Mr. Ricnards' contri- bution was a signal hit, and he was obliged, to respond to an encore. The final item in the miscellaneous, programme was a trio, "The Magic Wove Scarf," by Miss Jones and Messrs. Thomas and Richards. Next came the "tour de force of the evening, viz., "The Desert" (David) by the choir. The stately measure of the instrumental score fully impressed one with the Oriental atmosphere of the whole piece, whilst the chorus numbers were singularly -forceful and impressive. The opening chorus was marked by a majesty and wealth of expression which was continued right to the end of the piece, and reflected the greatest credit upon the training undergone at the hands of a capable musician. The March of the Caravan," by the orchestra, was an- other bit of realism, and one fondly imagined the dusky denizens of the desert clad in their picturesque garb passing before one in solemn procession. The Storm in the Desert" was vividly por- trayed, the effect being fully accentuated by the tranquility of the calm that fol- lowed. Very little work was left to the artistes during the performance, as some of the solos had to. be cut out owing to lack of time. What did come his way, Mr. Thomas discharged with his usual ability, and was roundly applauded for his magnificent efforts. Mr. Davies' reading of the various spoken" pas- sages was well in accord with the nature of the whole piece, and materially added to the impretssiveness of the whole. The final chorus was a splendid culmination, the weird Eastern effect being retained right up to the very end. Mr. Richards and his party are deserving of the highest praise for their arduous labour in placing before the public such a high-class pro- gramme, and it is to be hoped that this (Thursday) evening's concert will be enjoyed by a much larger audience. The choir, as we have already noted, was an exceedingly well-balanced organ- isation, each part doing full justice to the music—which, for a composition of the nature of "The Desert." is saying a great deal. It is to be hoped that this success will be followed in after years, and their position can well be assured. Of the artistes, little comment is needed at our hands, as all are well known to the public, and bear their blushing honours thick upon them." Mr. Tom Thomas has a voice of exceptional quality, his notes in the upper register being marvellously pure and free from strain. He was an instantaneous success, and he well deserved it. Mr. Willie Richards, we think, never appeared to better advan- tage. His fine, full notes, always full of the sweetest melody, won him hearty applause time and again. His rendering of "Revenge" was a magnificent effort, and fairly brought down the house. Miss Jones is also an artiste of wide powers. Unpretentious to a degree, her contributions to the programme were marked with good taste and fine feeling. Mr. Tom John, in moving a hearty vote of thanks to the Society upon the magnificent result of their industry, ex- pressed a hope that, having such a suit- able place as the Judge's Hall for oratorio performances, more music of the kind thev had listened to would be given in Mid-Rhondda in the future. The best compensation to the choir for having undertaken such a work was their own culture, and he could not but think that every member of the Society was all the better for the part they had taken in the performance. The. singing of the National Anthem by the choir brought the proceedings to a close. To-night's programme will include Schubert's Song of the Spirits," which, we believe, has not previously been per- formed in the United Kingdom. Miss Bessie Jones, R.C.M., will also appear as soprano. THE GREAT REANO will arrive at Tonypandy Station on Sunday next at 5.45 p.m.

Rhondda Naturalists. Lecture at Ton. On Wednesday, the 17th inst., at the Workmen's Hall, Ton. an excellent lec- ture, entitled The West Indies and the Spanish Main," was delivered by Captain W. J. P. Benson, F.R.G.S., under the auspices of the above Society. The hall was crowded to hear this most popular lecturer, who created such a splendid impression last year when he delivered his lecture on "Mexico." The chair was occupied by the Rev. Canon Lewis. The lecture was finely illustrated with magni-' ficent photographic lantern -slides. From start to finish, the lecturer held his audi- ence under perfect control. His descrip- tive powers were great, and his thrilling narratives blended with the richest of humour, marked him as a lecturer of the highest order. His graphic description of the eruption of Mont Pelee and the destruction of the ill-fated city of Martinique held the audience spellbound.

Cwmparc. A fatal accident took place at Park Colliery on Wednesday night last, when William Williams, 294, Park Road, was overrun by a journey of full trams, and was so severely crushed that he died instantaneously. At the inquest held at Park Hall on Friday by Coroner Rhys, evidence was given by Griffith Griffiths, rider, and David Evans, master haulier, which showed that deceased had probably made a miscalculation in signalling, and had allowed the journey to land about ten yards beyoiiU the proper place.. A verdict of Accidental death was re- turned. Deceased was an old inhabitant (aged 54) of Cwmparc, and leaves a widow and -several grown-up children. The funeral. took place on Tuesday and was largely attended, the Rev. T. Davies (Soar) performing the interment cere- mony, at Treorchy Cemetery. A hand- some wreath in token of sympathy was subscribed for by the neighbours. The visit of the Royal Welsh Male Choir to Cwmparc was attended with highly satisfactory results, and Salem Chapel, which is a commodious building, was comfortably crowded. The chairman, County Councillor Tom Jones, Treorchy, was in excellent form and conducted the proceedings in a most acceptable manner. The party were at full strength, and re- ceived an enthusiastic ovation when they took the platform, Mr. Wm. Thomas, the veteran conductor, being accorded special rounds of applause. The programme was a high-class one, and the party sang throughout with the precision and har- monious sweetness which have earned them the world's laurels. It was an act of grace on the conductor's part to give "The. Tyrol" by special request from the audience, and the chorus was one of the most enjoyable of the evening. Miss Cissie Thomas and Mr. Robert Jones, as soloists, were well received, while Mr. Todd Jones and Mr. Aneurin Edwards were as great favourites as ever. Mr. H. Hughes' fine execution on the piano deserves special mention, and his arrange- ment of Balfe's immortal "Excelsior" was an unique case of successfully paint- ing the lily. The following is the pro- gramme submitted —Part 1: Welsh National Anthem, and chorus, Hun- garian March," the Choir; song, "Caradog," Mr. Aneurin Edwards; duet, Night in Venice," Miss Cissie Thomas and Mr. Robert Jones; part- song, Cwsg" (unaccompanied) the Choir; song, 0 Adfyd i Wynfyd," Mr Todd Jones; quartet, "In Absence," the Royal Singers; musical jest, Italian Salad," the Choir. Part 2: "Song of the Northmen," the Choir; song, "My Dreams," Mr. Robert Jones; trio, Angels' Night Song," Mfss Cissie Thomas and Messrs. Jones and Edwards; part-song. Peaceful Night," the Choir; song, She wandered down," Miss Cissie Thomas; duet, Excelsior" (arr. H. Hughes), Messrs. Todd' Jones and Aneurin Edwards chorus, Pilgrims," the Choir finale. We are glad to hear that a benefit con- in cert is being organised for Owen Jones and his family. This is one of the most deserving cases we know to have existed in Cwmparc, and it may be safely left to local charitable hearts to make it a big success.

Ton. On Sunday and Monday, at Bryn Seion, the annual preaching services were held. Large congregations attended at all the serviÜOOI. Excellent sermons were delivered by the Rev. M. H. Jones, B.A., Cardiff, and the Rev. J. Towy Jones, Llandebie. At Bethesda Chapel, Ton, on Thursday last, a grand concert was held. The fol- lowing eminent artistes took part:- Soprano, Miss Evangeline Florence, who after her debut in her native country- America—appeared with great success in Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia. Miss Florence is the happy possessor of a voice of wonderful brilliance and elas- ticity. Its compass is probably not equalled by any known singer. The tenor solos were sung by Mr. Henry Gurney, whose voice is of the genuine tenor quality of an .extensive range. Senor Jose Soler Gomez was the violinist. Senor Gomez has had the honour of playing before the King and Queen. Mr. Emlyn Davies, the popular Welsh baritone, was a great favourite. The accompanist was Miss Margaret Murray. Praise is due to Mr. T. A. Thomas (general secretary) and Mr. John Davies (financial secretary) for their efforts in making the concert a great suc- cess. The pulpit at Bethany (C.M.), Gelli, was occupied on Sunday last by Mabpn, who delivered addresses to good congre- gations.

Cardiff O rchestral Concert [BY OUR MUSICAL CRITIC.] The 88th concert of the Cardiff Orches- tral Society took place at the Park Hall on Wednesday evening. One was glad to notice such a large number of Rhondda- ites in the audience, and very probably this number would be still larger if these. concerts could be held on Thursday even- ings. The concerts have been of such a splendid standard on past occasions, that it is no small wonder that the large hall was not absolutely crowded. Neverthe- less, there was a splendid attendance. The special artistes were —Miss Lucy Nuttall, Liverpool; Mr. Alfred Heather, and Mons. Hollman ('cellist). To Rhon- ddaites who were. privileged to hear her at the Noddfa (Treorchy) concerts last Christmas, the appearance of Miss Nuttall was of a special attraction. She sang Softly awakes my heart (Saint-Saens) with orchestra, and 0 Divine Redeemer" and "0 Lovely Night." Her success was immediate and complete, the audience being quite carried away witli the excel- lence of her efforts. Mr. Heather, one of the leading tenors of our time, was also in excellent form. The orchestra, conducted by Mr. J. E. Deacon, played as a special feature Beethoven's Sym- phony No. 2 in D Major. The thanks of those who are anxious to obtain the greatest possible benefit from these concerts are due to Mr. W. A. Morgan, hon. secretary, for the excellent annotated programme.

Penygraig and District Chamber of Trade. The monthly meeting of the above Chamber was held at the Institute last Wednesday evening, under the presidency of Mr. T. D. Evans, Dinas. The meet- ing was well attended, and several mat- ters of importance were discussed. The secretary, Mr. D. R. Watkins, pro- duced the report of the Decorative Com- mittee, which was unanimously adopted. Messrs. J. Picton Davies and Herbert Griffiths, who were delegated to the meet- ings of the South Wales Federated Cham- bers of Trade held at Dowlaie, produced their report of the proceedings. The Chairman drew attention to an injustice which had recently been inflicted on the poor people of Dinas who were recipients of parish relief. For over forty years the parish relief had been paid at Dinas, but lately it had been 'transferred to Pisgah Chapel, Penygraig, and the old people, many of whom were afflicted with rheumatism, were compelled to make the journey to receive their weekly relief. It was a great hardship, and it exhibited a lack of human feeling to compel poor people to walk such a distance in every kind of weather. It was unanimously resolved that the Secretary should communicate with Mr. James Spickett, Clerk to the Guardians, with a view of rectifying the matter. Other matters were discussed, and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the meeting.

Mr. Hiam Lang, of Cardiff, the popular humorist, was the chief artiste. The hall was very well filled, and the concert proved a decided success. The. proceeds are in aid of the Temperance Band. The first part of the programme consisted of songs and humorous stories. The second part con- sisted of conjuring tricks, which were remarkably clever, and delighted the audience. The band, under the able leadership of Mr. Samuel Gillard, played a march to open the concert, and a selec- tion termed Maritana" during the interval. Mr. Evan Griffiths (Compton House) presided in his usual genial manner.

Football MARDY ALBIONS lgl., CLYDACH YALE J. Played at Clydach Vale on Monday iasf;. The Albions won the toss, and played with the sun at their backs. Clydach Vale kicked off and went off at a. good pace, but the visitors defended well. A fine passing movement By the homesters called upon Ward to clear a splendid shot by the left wing, which he. did in masterly fashion. The run of the game up to now was in the homesters' favour, and it looked as if they were going to avenge their heavy defeat earlier in the season at Mardy. But the Albions soon warmed to their work, and gave a glimpse of their true form. Perry, their diminutive outside right, beat several opponents and centred nicely, and Dai Bake meeting the ball, -sent in a fine shot a few inches wide. Clydach were the next to attack, and Fry, their left wing, sent in a fine shot. The hall cannoned off Ward and into the net. thus drawing first blood for the homesters. On the restart, the visitors soon got going, and Perry, beating man after man, gave Elliot, the home custodian, a great j drive, which he saved at the expense of a corner, which proved abortive to the visitors. The Albions were still pressing, when Stroud, the homesters' left back, running across the field, fouled the Albions' inside left in the dreaded area, and got his side penalised. Dai Bake, taking the kick, gave Elliot no chance to stop his shot, which struck the under- part of the crossbar and into the net, thus equalising for Mardy. Play was of a high order after this, and shots by Perry, Chris. Owen. Griffiths and Dai Bake deserved a better fate. Elliot, Stroud and Wallv Smith were in fine form for the homesters, and Ward, Perry, Joe. Bach, Dai Jones, F. Hill and Owen Hunt were the pick of the visitors.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION often arises from business pressure or home worry. It is often accompanied by Indigestion or by a sense of uneasiness or apprehension after meals. These symptoms should not be neglected, but by careful self-treatment they should soon disappear. If you suffer thus, commence by taking your tea, coffee or cocoa a little weaker, and not so often. Half an hour's walk in the open air daily is essential. Take a mild dose of Kernick's Vegetable PILLS. every other night (say twice). These invalu- able Pills, if taken according to the directions accompanying each box, restore the tone of health to mind and body. Sold in T'd. 1'1 £ and 2/9 boxes, by all Chemists and Stores. ♦ •
