Pavilion Skating Rink, Tonypandy The roller skating pastime is going very strong in Tonypandy, and large crowds are nightly in evidence at the. Pavilion Rink. In fact, it was the cry of the management that they had not enough skates, but this defect has since been remedied. Some welcome improvements have been introduced since the opening of the Rink, and these will be noticeable by all patrons of the Rink. The skate room is under the able supervision of an expert mechanic—Mr. Tom Henderson, whilst. Mr. Arthur Medcalfe, from the Olympia Rink, Manchester, is to be found amongst the expert instructors, and Mr. Peach, the manager, who is one of the cleverest roller skaters in the Kingdom, has admirably succeeded in making the Pavilion the rinkers' rendezvous. The slutting is accompanied by an excellent military band, which discourses harmony under the conductorship of Mr. T. Lees, who has had great experience in the rink- ing business, not only in England, but in the United States as well.

New Theatre, Cardiff. Apropos of the forthcoming visit of the "Flag Lieutenant" to the New Theatre on Monday next and during the week, the following paragraph taken from an article which appeared in the London "Daily Chronicle" while the Naval Pageant was arousing so much enthu- siasm and excitement, may be of in- terest But along the sanded and sacred route through the lane of sightseers now come a group of officers in all their beau- tiful Damnify of blue and gold, wearing the most becoming uniform that sartorial art and martial regulations have ever designed to grace the form of man. Evidently, they belong to the Admiral's Staff, for that is what their aiguilettes must mean. And amongst them is pro- bably a Flag Lieutenant, and a lady on my left among the awed crowd breaks the silence of her neighbourhood to ex- claim Looks just like Cyril Maude, doesn't he? And her companion answers: Yes, reminds you awfully of "The Flag Lieutenant," doesn't he? They look just like actors.' What better proof of the wonderful popularity of this beautiful naval play could be desired? The arrival of the company is being awaited with quite un- usual interest. The play, which is toured by Messrs. Lyn Harding and Sidney! Cooper, ran for over a year at the Play- house. London, and has twice been pre- sented before His Majesty the King and has been witnessed bv every member of the Royal Family. The caste includes: Messrs. George Mallett. Edgar Kent, Montagu Love, John Wheatman, Miss Dorothy Ripley, Miss Winifred Valiant, Miss Stella Leigh and Miss Florence Jackson.

"The Breed or the Treshams." Romances innumerable have been woven round the seventeenth century wars be- tween King and Parliament, when Cavalier and Roundhead fought one with another with a hatred and contempt that were none the less because the rival com- batants were very often of the same stock. No more entrancing story of this stirring period, however, has been evolved by an imaginative brain than The Breed of the Treshams." It is no cheap melo- drama built on conventional lines as is the case with so many costume plays. Instead, it is as nearly as a modern con- ception can be an accurate picture of the times. There are all the elements of civil war romance in the plot. Intrigue, treachery, loyalty, debauchery, chivalry, are all present, and with the occasional Mr. SYDNEY BLAND, The Rat in The Breed of the Treshams." flash of steel a spectacular story is pre- sented that the most exacting of roman- tically inclined critics must revel in. Pro- duced at Newcastle by Mr. Martin Harvey some two years ago, it has met with great success wherever it has been played, and he has frequently admitted that in popularity it surpasses the ever- green play, The Only Way." M.r. Frank Bertram's company, which will nresent the play at the Theatre Royal, Tonypandy, is of exceptional strength, many of them having been members of the late Sir Henry Irving and Mr. Wilson Barrett's companies, under whose banners they served for many years. All the scenery is carried, and the entire pro- duction is an exact replica of that used by Mr. Martin Harvey. —

Bronchitis and Blood Spitting Cured bv VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mrs. J. Hurst, 37. Byrom Street, High Park, Southport, writes —" I suffered for over a year from a distressing bronchial cough which nothing could apparently relieve, and I got so low and weak from coughing and spitting phlegm and blood that I could scarcely walk. I developed chronic bronchitis, but nothing did me any good, and I tried various so-called cough remedies, until I despaired of ever being better. At last I tried, your won- derful Cough Cure, the first bottle relieved me, and now I am quite cured and as well as ever."

Alleged Tyranny by Owners A meeting of the Executive Council of the South Wales Miners' Federation was held at Cardiff on Monday, Mr. William Brace, M.P., presiding. Mr. W. Abraham, (Mabon), M.P., and -lir. Tom Richards, M.P., were absent through illness. It is reported that a long discussion took place on the question of working the Sunday and night shifts, it being reported to the Council that in several instances the night men were only working five nightsi a week in consequence of the owners insisting upon an eight hours' shift being worked on Sunday nights, instead of a six hours' shift as heretofore. Application was received from several quarters for permission to tender notices in order to enforce the old custom. It was decided that, having regard to the fact that this was one. of the ques- tions to be dealt with in the pending negotiations with the owners, and upon which a decision will be arrived at one way or the other in the course of the next week or two, the workmen con- cerned were requested to continue as they had been for a few weeks longer. Another matter considered was the stringency with which the owners are insisting upon men being in the mine eight hours and declining to allow indi- viduals to leave in order to relieve check- weighers should they require to be deputised. It was further complained that individuals were refused permission to leave the mine in order to attend any Federation business such as district meet- ings or conferences or other matters re- quiring attention. The Council resolved to place this matter on the agenda of the next Conciliation Board meeting.

Traffic Men's Grievances. A meeting of the Overtime Committee was held at Cardiff on Monday, Mr. J. Griffiths presiding over the owners' sec- tion, and Mr. D. Watts Morgan over the workmen's side. Six cases from Messrs. Powell Duffryn Company's Collieries It Llettyshenkin, comprising cases of hitchers, banksmen and other traffic men, considered. After hearing all the evidence, the Committee adjusted the differences in respect of the banksmen and hitchers satisfactorily. The other cases were withdrawn. v Mr. D. Watts Morgan made a strong protest against the alleged conduct of the Morfa Colliery Company in not paying two months' money due to the traffic men at that colliery, and also with regard to the Ucean (Joinery Company's action in not paying the extra turn alleged to be due to the Ynysybwl Colliery hitchers, the Park and Dare traffic men, and also the Maindy traffic men, who for some reason were still unpaid the two months' bonus due to them in accordance with the agree- ment arrived at. It was decided to take the traffic men's dispute at the Glamorgan Collieries and the cases from the Eastern and Maindy Collieries at the next sitting of the Com- mittee on Monday next.

Olympia Skating Rink, Pentre. We are informed that certain state- ments which reflect upon the stability of this Rink are being persistently circu- lated, and further, that statements are being made to the effect that the morn- ing and afternoon sessions have been dis- continued. We are authorised to state that there is no shadow of foundation for either of these rumours, and the manage- ment are prosecuting enquiries with a view to tracing the source of these mali- cious statements. With regard to the Rink itself, some hundreds of pounds were spent on piling the foundation work, so that there could not be the slightest risk as to the stability of the building, and with regard to the morning and afternoon sessions, these, we need hardlv say, are in full swing, and, of course, well patronised, although doubtless many people have stayed away from the morn- in g and afternoon sessions in consequence of the rumours in question. As will be seen from our advertising columns the first Grand Masquerade Carnival is fixed for Shrove Tuesday evening, February 8th, when a magnifi- cent spectacle is promised.

Robert Jones, who was a member of the Treorchy Royal Male Choir and acted as their special corres- pondent during their world's tour. During the tour, Mr. Jones was offered several engagements, but deemed it his duty to remain with the choir until the comple- tion of the tour. He has now accepted a post as principal tenor at Adelaide, South Australia, and will sail from London on Friday morning next. The proceedings were presided over by County 'Councillor E. T.

The choir, under the conductorship of Mr. William Thomas, gave several selections, and solos were also contributed by Messrs. Todd Jones, E. T. Jones, Goniee Jones, and Aneurin Edwards.

Nantymoei- The eighth annual show of the Nanty- moel and District Poultry, Pigeon, Rabbit and Cage. Bird Club was openil at the Workmen's Hall on Wednesday, and con- tinued on Thursday, January 26th and 27th. The show was one of the best the club has had, the entries numbering about 900, whilst the quality of the poultry exhibits was excellent, including several Crystal Palace winners. The pigeons, as a whole, were undoubtedly the finest collection ever seen in this part of the country. There was also a very fine exhibition of rabbits and cage birds. The attendance was only fair and was not what one would have expected with such a fine exhibition. The Poultry Club 1(J-Guinea Challenge Cup for the best cock was won by Mr. W. S. Thomas, Swansea, as well as the Poultry Club 5- Guinea Cup for the best hard feather bantam. The Poultry Club 10-Guinea Cup for the best hen was won by Mr. P.

Doble, Bridgwater; working homers, Mr. J. Vernal; fancy pigeons, cage birds, and rabbits, Mr. J. N. Harrison, Belper. Much of the pro- gress of the club and the success of the show is due to the energy of the hon. secretary, Mr. W. Graves, who was. ably assisted by his brother, Mr. Walter Graves. Amongst the other officers who did yeoman service to make the show a success were: -Mr. W. Wilmott, chair- man Mr. Joe Wood, vice-chairman Mr. W. Smith, hon. treasurer; Mr. T.

Miss Edith Jones next took up China Its Great Awaken- ing." Miss E. A. Williams next dealt with the Duty of the Home Churches towards the Mission Fields." The chair- man, Mr. T. J. Jones, B.A., concluded with an excellent address on Christianity on Its Trial," dealing with the religious erises in France, Italy, Turkey, Russia, North Africa, and the Far East.

The prizes were presented by Miss Frances Baker. Messrs. W. H. Cbpjje (piano) and Jim' Davies (violin) provided the music for the dancers. The M.C.'s for the ev-eniiig were —Dancing, Mr. W. Wilmott; whist, Mr. Edgar Phillips. The secretary of the Hockey Club. is Mr. D. E. Griffiths, and he spares no effort to make his club a success.
