Lewis, Treorchy, a nice dressing ase falling to the lot of each prize- winner. A ladies' balloon race proved extremely dimcult, and the conditions of the race had to be altered before com- petition could proceed very far. After several attempts the race was hnally run, and Miss Katie George, Pentre, fully deserved the prize. A very tight struggle for supremacy was witnessed in the 10- lap handicap race, run off in three heats and a hnal. The nrst prize-winner was Mr. Mel Evans, Treherbert, and second prize-winner Mr. E.
