YSTRAD MEURIG CONCERT.—There was a packed house at the con- cert which was given at. the schoolroom on Friday evening. The Vicar (Rev. John Jone. M.A.) pre- sided, and tho concert proved not only very enjoy- able, but financially profitable. Miss Jones was the accompanist, and did her work admirably as usual. Encores were the order of the evening. Nearly every item of a long programme had to be re- peated, and even in the second half, after the Vicar had wisely exercised his veto, several of the artistes were recalled.

ABEfiGWiLI LECTURE.—On Thursday evening in last week, the Rev. Eynon Hughes, vicar of Trelech, gave an interesting and humorous lecture on "The essentials of a happy home," in Weisli. to a crowded audi- ence at the National School. The Rev. T. Thomas (vicar) presided, and the lecture was immensely en. joyed, the happy jokes, and smart witticisms, pro- ducing hearty laughter. During the evening solos were excellently rendered by Miss Williams, Llwyn- piod, and Mr. S. A. Daniels, Rose Cottage. Cordial votes of thanks to the lecturer and chairman closed tho meeting. The proceeds were in aid of the Church Sunday School, and the Superintendent (Mr. J. Lewis Jones') deserves the highest credit for the able manner in which he organised such a delightful meeting.

O' PENCARREG SUCCESS.—Wei have to congratulate Mr. D. T. Edwards, Capel Stwr, Lampeter, on his recent suc- cess at the Certificate Examination at the Normal College, Bangor, which lie has passed with three distinctions—English language and literature, Welsh language and literature (advanced), and optional ad- vanced history. The high standard and quality de- manded by the examiners, as well as the advanced nature of the work in each of the subjects, made it an exceedingly arduous, intellectual task to obtain a distinction. Mr. Edwards passed the entrance examination to his college with distinction in Eng- lish history and Welsh, and at the end of his course he was awarded a First Class Diploma by his col- lege for the excellence of his academic work while there. The credit for Mr. Edwards' meritable career is to be partly shared by Mr. G. Davies, Coedmore School, who directed his studies before entering college, and whose fame as a successful coacher of his teachers has long since been established. Ix p- trust that this success is only the first fruits o' a bountiful harvest and the dawn of an era of pros- perity. For it augurs nothing but a pleasant future to a young man who, before the age of twenty and the youngest of his college takes rank among the best men of his college—men who had profited l>y years of training in county schools and centres, privileges and advantages which one bred in the country is not destined to enjoy. We wish him health and happiness to proceed along the road to fame and prosperity. "Eled rhagddo."

CWMFFRWD ST. AxxE'S CHURCH.—The winrer session of the local branch of the Church of England Men's Society commenced on the 19th ult., when an inter- esting and instructive paper was read by the Rev.

The following officers have been selected for the coming year:—President, Colonel Aslett, of Bolahaul; vice- presidents, Rev. T. Jones, vicar of Llandefeilog, and Mr. T. W. Barker, Oaklands; secretary, Mr. W. M. Jones, Digoed; treasurer, Mr. James Morgan, Xanryglasdwn; committee, the above ex-officio members; Rev. Idris Roberts: Mr. Thomas Jones, Bryngwanws; Mr. E. J. Yates. Spilnian-street; j Mr. James Bowen. Ty'rnest. and Mr. John Bowen. Lan. An open meeting will be held to-morrow (Friday) night, admission free, when the speaker will be the Rev. T. M. Jones B.A., curate of Goworton, and formerly of St. Anne's. An ad. dress (illustrated by lantern slides) will be given on the subject, "How we got our Bible."

KIDWELLY FANCIER B SUCCESS.—Amidst several other poultry | and cage-bird fanciers in this district Mr. T. J. W alters, Alstred-street, occupies a prominent posi- tion as a successful exhibitor of poultry. His own bred Plymouth Rocks have during- the last three or four months taken prizes as follw s at shows:—Two firsts and one second at Llandefeilog; first and second at Abergwili; first at Milford Haven; first, three seconds, and one third at Pontyberem; first at. Bankyfelin; second at Bridgend; "first at Tre- liarris; first and third at Pembroke Dock; and last week a third at Viscount Tredegar's show. A good record. It, had been intended to hold a show at Kidwelly this year, but the project fell through for lack of enthusiasm. CONCERT.—On Saturday evening last, a successful concert was given ar the Town Hall, for the lxmefit of Miss Nellie Griffiths, of this town, a clever young pianist. The concert was organised by a committee of young treople. of whom Mr. D. J. Lewis, the captain of the local HoCkev Team, was the leading spirit. Several friends from Llanelly journeyed down to assist. these being Mr. Harry Davies (basso), lr. David Hurry (tenor), Miss Blodwen Morgan (contralto). Miss Ann; Bowen (sonrano) Mis* Mima Law. A.C.V. (violinist), Miss Maud Taw and :W". Torn Harry (elocutionists). The local people who took part were the L. A .Lewis. Meta l)avie. and Maud Evans, always great favourites, and they contributed some of the very litest music hall and pantomime songs. Messrs. Jack Richards and Jas. W atkins, who were also very good as con lie vocalists; Messrs. Bertie Mansell. W.G. Lewis, and Idris Jones kindly acted as stewards, etc. THE CHURCHES.—Next Sunday, the Rev. 1). T. Alban, of St. Peter's, Carmarthen, will be the special preacher at the quarterly services to be held at the Parish Church. BA/.A.VR.—Strenuous efforts are being made to make rhe bazaar, ere. to be held in connection with the Church, on December 18th. at tho Town Hall, a success: and we fully believe it will be it great suc- cess too.

PENTRECOURT FOOTBALL.—The Scarlet Runners journeyed to' Pencader last Saturday to play the Pencader Gram- mar School team. The ground was hard, but play- able. The School had the stronger team, and for the early part. of the game had the better of the ga 1110. But soon they showed lack of practice, and their play fell off. while the Runners were getting better till the end. For the last part of the game the Runners were pressing all rhe time. The Run- t ners scored a. splendid goal from a rush up in the first half, the scorer l>eing Willie Davies, who cap- tained the team. Very soon after this Pencader' equalised by scoring a well-deserved goal. The whistle was blown at half-time, the score being equal.' The game was resumed with vigour—many of tho. Pencaderians changing their posh ion. which did not, 1 think, better their situation in the least. During: th:i second half the Runners should have scored' more than once, and I feel it rnv duty to record- one little incident in this half of the game. Some-, how the goalkeeper fell on tho ball, and held it down while he was surrounded by three or four of tho Scarlets, and I am pleased to say that they gave Itilu quarters. The game throughout was of a friendly character, though the referee did not con- tribute his share, which, fortunately, did not inflti- j once the conduct of the reams as it might have done. No score was recorded in the second half, and the game resulted in a draw.

LLANLLWNI TEMPERANCE MEETING.—A very successful meeting, in connection with the C.E.T.S., was held, under the presidency of Miss Lloyd, of Pontllwni, in tho Llan- llwni X. School ,on Thursday evening, the 25th ult. The room was tilled to overflowing with a most orderly and thoroughly appreciative audience. Among those present who took part in the proceed- ings there were, in addition to Miss Lloyd, the Rev. J. Davies, vicar of the parish; the Rev. D. J. Evans, curate of Lampeter, and Messrs. Roberts, p Samupl and Jones, students of St. David's College, Lampeter. The programme was as follows:—Hymn (given out by the Vicar), and prayer (by the. Rev. D. J. Evans); president's address; Welsh address, Mr. Roberts; English recitation,' Mr. Samuel; Eng- lish address, :I.r. Joneis; Welsh address, Mr. Samuel; address, the Rev. D. J. Evans Welsh reci- tation, Mr. Samuel: address, the Rev. D. J. Evans. Votes of thanks to the Lampeter friends, and to Miss Lloyd (through whose instrumentality the meeting was held. Hymn, sriven out by the Rev. J. Davies. The meeting was greatly appreciated, and was, in- deed, one of the best ever held in the place. At the close, a number of new members were enrolled.

LLANWRDA PRESENTATION.—A very pleasant evening was passed at Llanwrda, on Thursday, the 25th ult., the occasion being a presentation to the respected late station-master (Mr. H. Humphreys). By a strange coincidence the same date 11 years ago the abovo gentleman made his acquaintance with Llanwrda. Mr. Price, GlandulaLs, was appointed chairman of the meeting, and opened the same witTi a most praiseworthy speech. Speeches were also made by U, Messrs. Hughes, Jones, Lewis, Davies, etc., who spoke oil the good qualities and courtesy always dis- played. Mrs. Worrat. Cefnucheldro, in a very neat spcech, made the presenetation of a purs eof gold, speech, made the presentation of a nurse of gold Albert. Mr. Humphreys acknowledged the hand- some present made in a very suitable manner, and dwelt upon the good feeling which had existed be- tween himself and th» inhabitants. "For he's a jolly good fellow" was afterwards sung, and a happy meeting brought to a close.

MANORDEILO EISTEDDFOD.—A very successful Eisted Ifod was Md here on Thursday, the 25th ult., a ad Mr Robert Williams (sec.) and Mr. C. W. Boyd .'rreas ) may well be proud of the result. Mr. Mervrn Peel, of Danyrallt (the president), though at the present time over head and ears in work, very kindly at- tended, and gave an excellent address on "Tho importance of having a Reading Room for young people in every parish." The adjudicators were: ia Mr. Dunn W illiams, G. and L., Carmarthen "(music), and the Rev. John James. St. Teilo's College, Llan- dilo (literature), and both gave entire satisfaction. Our special thanks are due to Mr. James, who came to the rescue at the last moment, the Rev. Nathaniel Thomas (the advertised adjudicator) being7 indisposed. The competitors were numerous, and the contests very keen. The "open solo" drew many from all parts, and the task of the adjudicator must have been a hard one. The prize was won by the noted "Llew Cib.' The accompanist was our old friend, Mr. Harries-Thomas (now headmaster of the Parevrhun Schools, Ammanford). The adjudicator could not refrain from remarking publicJy on the intelligence and finish whir-h were so characteristic of the accompanist's work. The following ladies and rrentlemen large contributed to the "prize fund":— Messrs. W. Harries, Brvnhyfryd; J. Edwards, coal merchant; Isaac Davies; J. Prescott: E. Glasbrook C. W. Rcwd; Dr. Evans; Mrs. Glasbrook; Mrs. Robert Williams, and M'ss Price. SANATORIUM.—Arrangements are already being made to hold a concert, the beginning of the year, on behalf of the Alltvmvnydd Sanatorium. The narish owes a great deal to this excellent institu- tion. and we sincerely hone that the movement will he taken np heartily by the parishioners and others interested.

LLANSAWEL PROSPERITY.—Since the foundation stone was laid at the Sanatorium, Llansawel seems to have been awakened from its slumbers, for many are the conveyances going through to and fro. Especially is this the case since the Sanatorium has been opened for patients. The motor-cars and brakes from Pontardawe and Gwaun-cae-Gurwen are now very familiar objects, for they are often seen carrying friends and relations to visit some of the patients. Last Wednesday week a big motor-brake could be fceen iiitk;i,q a halt for refreshments at the Black Lion Hotel, and last Sunday the party which had been g'ving a concert it the Sanatorium called as usual, having been visiting there twice previously, where rhov were veil enteral for by that most gerual of hostesses. Mrs. Griffiths. WEDDING.—On the 17th ult., at Llandilo Parish Church, a very pretty wedding was solemnized, the contracting parties being Mr. Dan Evans, Caerau, Maesteg, Glam., son of Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Llwyn Cottage, Ailtyrodyn, Llandyssul, and Miss Nellie Davies, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Davies, Red Lion, Llansawel.

LLANYBRI j "DARLITH. "-On Thursday evening, 25th ult., the Rev. Towyn Jones delivered a "darlith" at Capel Newydd on "Y dyn ieuanc a'i weledigaethau." Mr. Gad Protheroe, Johnstown, who presided, said that the proceeds would be devoted towards liquidating the debt upon Capel Cowin. Mr. Towyn Jones then dwelt for two hours upon his subject. Interspersed" throughout the lecture were numerous anecdotes, all possessing t.he virtue of a "hook" to hang a lesson on. and tnese, accompanied by the various arts of attracting an(V maintaining the attention of the audience so well known to Towyn, helped to make the otherwise long discourse pass quickly and enjoy- notwi ably, notwithstanding the discomforts of the chapel. Great praise and stress were also laid upon the work of tho School Boards only; but the excellent work of the Voluntary Schools-alone in hundreds of parishes was not mentioned; why, was not mado clear. As samples of what m^y be accomplished by the young man were mentions, Romulus, Paschal, Wolfe, Bonaparte, Keats, Whitfield, Cortes, Nelson, Watts, and our Lord Himself. The discourse bristled with true Celtic fervour, and urged upon all those present torow up such as to be able to till the positions of departed heroes of the nation. Altogether a most edifying night was spent. At the close a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Jones, pro- posed by the Chairman, seconded by the Rev. J. Morris, C.M., Llanstephan, was unanimously carried with acclamation, the Chairman being similarly honoured. The Rev. J. John, pastor, also thanked all for their presence in aid of the cause, trusting all had been fully recompensed by the lofty ideas set forth during tho evening.

DERRV ORMOND PRESENTATION AXD FAREWELL MEETING.—A well- attended meeting was held at the Church School- room of the above parish on Wednesday, the 24th ult., when a large number of the parishioners came together for the purpose of presenting the Rev. and Mrs. Lloyd Jones with a token of their appreciation and esteem on the occasion of their leaving the parish to take up duties at Bettws Evan. During their fourteen years' stay here, they have gained the highest respect and confidence of all those they came in contac with; their benevolence and sym- pathy with the sick and needy will be remembered for years to come. They took active part in all church work, Mrs. Lloyd Jones being- the organist. She took a foremost part in every movement—chil- dren a meeting, etc., and the frequem and excellent treats provided on these c-ccasions will live long in the minds of both young and old. Mr. and Mrs Jones' departure from the parish is keenly feit. The chair was taken by Mr. Williams, Blaenwern, who opened the meeting with an address, proceeded ty reading a letter from the Rev. J. N. Evans, who was unavoidably prevented from attending, conveving his good wishes to the family, and his regret. at being unable to be present. Selections were then given on the gramophone by Mr. S. Davies, Coed- park, followed with a song by Mr. Dan Jones. Mr. Davies, Coedpark, then spoke in an eloquent man- ner, as did also Mr. Griffith Jenkins. Songs were also rendered by Mr. Dan Evans; humorous songs on tho gramophone; Miss S. A. Davies; a short address having been delivered by Mr. Thomas Davies and Mr. James Davies, Miss E. Jones sang, and amusing items were rendered on the gramo- phone, after which Mr. D. Thomas and Mr. John Jones, merchant, addressed the meeting, After songs by Messrs. S. Davies and James Davies* Ir. Writ. Jones made the presentation of a purse of «old siibOTibod by the parishioners and friends. the Rev. 1. Jones dttiv acknowledged the gift, and gave a brief history of rhe Parish Church from 1813 down to the present day. A very appropriate song was rendered, comnosei for the occasion by "local poet talent," by Mr. Dan Jones. After a short address by Mr. Jones, School House, the meeting terminated. Before leaving, however, it was made known that tea and coffee was provided for all those present. An excellent repast, was partaken of, and everyone separated with heartfelt wishes for happiness and succe^ to all the family in their new field of labour.

WALES IN THE Xllth CENTURY To lovers of Wales and of Welsh History there u nothing more acceptable m literature than a full and graphic account of a specific period in the past annals of our national history, and when that is produced with scholarly- precision and a wealth of detail it whets our appetite and make us ask for more. Xo period in the history of Wales presents us with more stirring events, more glorious names, or I!lt're interesting problems than that of the Xllth C entury, and we have to thank the National Eis- teddfod and a young- Frenchman bnJtigh up in Wales for presenting us with a monograph setting forth the salient, features of a portion of this excit- ing period with great, historical accuracy and very thoughtful deductions. "The Age of Owen Gwynedd," by Profesor Paul Barbier, fels. of the Lmversity of Leeds, is an effort., and a very success- ful one, to depict in a clear and accurate manner the condition of Wales and the Welsh peonle, with their historical associations, during the time that Owain ruled in Gwynedd—1135 to 1170 A.D., when King Stephen Lti(i II. reigned in England. Owain Gwynedd was undoubtedly the central Welsh figure of the middle of the Xllth Century, and the persons arid events associated with that period can be fittlllgly grouped around him, for his influence extended over the country as a whole and not merely over Gwynedd. It follows that readers at places so far apart as Hol head and Cardiff will find within its covers iteni, of local historical in- terest. whilst natives of Carmarthen and Cardigan and the counties they represent will simply revel in its pages. The book is divided into ten chapters, four of which deal with the military and political history of Wales at different, periods, three with its ecclesiastical history, one with its literary history and state of the people, one with the state of Soutli-East W ales down to 1170. and the remaining one with the invasion of Ireland, 1167-70. In addi- tion there are eleven appendices which are learned and instructive dissertations on moot points in chronology and other matter-, whilst there are pro- fuse foot-notes relating to minute details and sources of evidence of more interest to the scholar and student, than the general reader, so that the latter may follow the general narrative of events without loss of interest through the interpolation of matter foreign to the period about which he is read- ing. The book thus .serves a, double purpose.—that of an interesting volume for those anxious to ac- quaint themselves with some of the stirring events and best known figures in our past history, and that of a valuable contribution towards that com- plete and accurate history of Wales which we are still looking forward to, for wo can only hope to have that monumental work after each narticular period in our history has been thoroughly investi- gated and written upon by competent men. With a. series of volumes of this natu e at hand the compila- tion of a complete History of Wales. would be a comparatively easy mater, and it is to I),. that the Literary Committee of the Carmarthen National Eisteddfod will offer a prize for a woi similar line to the one under review with a Car- marthenshire hero as the central figure—such a sub- ject as "The Lord Hhys and his Times'' would give fitting scope for Professor Barbier to continue ti reasearches without any chronological break, for Rhys ap Gruffydd, although a contemporary as well as a nephew of Owain Gwynedd, continued to reign for 27 years after the lutter's death, and dur- ing that time the House of Dmevor was on the as- cendant, but only to give way at Rhvs' death to the house of Gwynedd again. We read a good deal in I lie. Age of Owain Gwynedd" about "Tfi(, Lord Rhys," but it was aft*/the death of Owam in 1170 and his compact with Henry II. in 1171 that he. (i-tliys) became the predominating figure, and e\ eryoss is familiar with his connection with the Great Eisteddfod at Cardigan in 1176 at which he piesided. In this volume l\t. also read of the acti- vities of Henry 11. in South Wales and "Caer,- fyrddin" figures very prominently all through the book in which it is written ti-al. "at, all times has this position, by its nature the key of South-west Wales, attracted the envy of the contending races by its importance in wal' We read of I how the fortresses of Caerfyrddin and Llanstephan Were laid low by Owain and Cadwaladr, assisted by Anarawd up Gruffydd and his brother Cadell: how Gilbert Strongbovv, Earl of Pembroke. recovered the "Ancient BoroughV and rebuilt its castle in 1145. only to be taken after a desperate struggle, a year or two later, by two Welsh princes; how Rhys ap Gruffydd invested the place in 1158 and was met by a formidable but mixed army under Regirial, Earl of ( ornwali. when a truce was offered and accented, and how. in 1163, Henry n, marched through South Wales, along the sea coast as far as Caer- fyrddin, and then turned abruply northwards to Pencader. from which place he sent an envoy to Hhys at Dinefwr. We arc also reminded of the Priory of Carmarthen to which, probably, we are indebted for the Biuck Book, the oldest continuous manuscriiit in the old language of the Cvmry, whilst- we are inclined to he thankful that we live in these peaceful times by reading of a ferocious wolf as an additional terror in the neighbourhood of "Kermerdtn. by which it. is inferred that wolves I existed iu Wales in the twelfth century.

FOOTBALL I SWANSEA II. v. CARMARTHEN T COLLEGE. The first match between the Carmarthen Training College and Swansea II. this season was played on Saturday last, and resulted in a win for the Swan- seaites. The College team were represented by the following:—Back. W. G. Williams; three-quarters, Trcharne, Booman, Griffiths, and Jenkins; halves, Leopold and Hughes; forwards, Ballantyne, Brooks, Robers, Thoma*. B. C. Lewis, H. Lewes, Hodge, and A. J. Jenkins Carmarthen kicked off, and an interchange of kicks took play inside the Swansea, half, but from a scrum near the centre the home halves got the ball neatly away to the backs, and Phil Williams scored a capital try in the extreme right corner The simple manner in which the visitors' defence had been beaten on this occasion gave one the opinion opinion that Swansea were going to pile on a big score, and indeed within a few minutes from a free kick granted to them for offside play by the College team, Roberts landed an excellent penalty goal. Hardly had the game been resumed than a bout of passing by the Swansea three-quarters saw Symons breaking through the defence and scoring under the posts. Roberts this time added the additional points. With only ten miuutcs gone, the Seconds had an eleven jxjints lead, and yet within a few more minutes Roberts was bowled into touch a yard only from the visitors' line. A moment later Phil Wil- liams followed up a, kick over the Collegians' line, and scored the third try for the Whites, Roberts failing to majorise. Another stage of the game saw the homesters all over the Collegians, who were being out-played and out-paced. It must be, how- ever, stated that the Collegians were playing with. any amount of dash and pluck, but lacked skill. A longer period than there had previously been passed before an additional score, but from a scrum on the visitors' line Sbefford receiving the ball forced his way over with an unconverted try. Then came an altogether unlooked for change, for the Carmarthen forwards rushed in great style down the lield with the ball ai their feet, and Roberts picking up kicked into the hands of the visiting left wing, who made a t>reat run down the touch-line, and was on/v thrown into touch by Trew a yard from goal. This was exceedingly hard luck for the visitors, for the movement quite deserved a score. The Collegians were now playing much better, and play hovered near midfiekl for a considerable time. Finding the kicking of Jones, rhe home custodian, was weak, the visitors adopted rhe new policy of kicking down the field. This took play to the Swansea line, again. Bad mulling, however, by the Carmarthen backs al- lowed the- Whites to get. back to the other side. Here Symons picking up the ball in the loose broke through th" Carmarthen defence in wonderful fash- ion, and crossed with a try, which Roberts conver- ted .with a magnificent kick. Half-time score: Swansea II., 2 converted goals, 1 penalty goal, 2 tries; Carmarthen College, nil. When phty was resumed the Collegians by means of long kicks worked down to the Swansea line, and it was here that Dick Williams' ankle was seen to be causintr him to limp badly. A fine opening by P. Shcfford gave Roberts an opportunity of show- ing his speed, but in his stride he was "mtJy tackled, and a free kick to Carmarthen brought them relief. An attempt was made later to kick a uoal from another free kick near the centre, but tho ball failed to rise. From a line-out near the home goal a Carmarthen forward got possession. ,and boating Jones, the home full-back, was almost, over when he was overwhelmed by the Swansea. players, and the ball was kicked out of bounds. This was again a uieëe- of bad luck for the visitors. A clever bit of play on the blind side of the scrum by Wil- liams and Trew resulted in the former repassing to Trew on the Carmarthen line, and he scored a capital try, which was unconverted. This was the first score of this half. and territorially indeed the visitors had had the best of matters so far. The game had now become devoid of interest, and the o,or).wd wore 'rapidly dispersing. In addition the game was being played in semi-darkness. A rush by the visiting forwards in the last minute almost resulted in a try, but a knock on on the line pre- vented a score. Final score: Swansea. II., 2 con- verted goals, 1 penalty goal, 3 tries; Carmarthen College,. nil. ( CARMARTIIEX TRAIXIXG COLLEGE if. v. yo XTARD CI.AIS ALBIONS. Played on Saturday last at the Carman hen Park, before a large crowd, and ending in a win for the Collegians by a dropped goal to nil. A pleasantly- contested game was marred by, according to the visitors, bad refereeing, a try disallowed to the Alhïons creating comment. J. Lewis, inside haif. played a good game for the Albions, and the home custodian was always safe. CARMARTIIEX TRAINING- COLLEGE v. BARGOED RANGERS. This match was played on Saturday la si on ti ir Llvsncwydd Meadow. There was a good croud of spectators. Mr. D. J. Davies, B.Sc., County School, Llandyssul, referced with great satisfaction. The game commenced briskly, the visitors being the. first to press, but Leslie Davies came to a rimeij rescue. The home team soon returned with quick and commendable play, but the Collegians again became prominent, and Howarth scored the lirst goal with a very good shot. The game again be- came full of enthusiasm, both sides alternately rush- ing well, but unfortunately neither of them were successful with their several good attempt*. In the course of the next bit of good play witnessed, Lloyd, on behalf of the home team, unsuccessfully made a brilliant, bid for goal. The second goal in the first half was scored by Taylor. In the second half play re-started vigorously, and the home team for a time seemed really dangerous. A goal, however, was again scored by Stanley for the visitors. The Rangers were once again in a pressing attitude, and made the visitors' task a thorough one. During the last ten minutes the visitors made strenuous attempts to add to their score, but the Rangers' backs were sound and safe. The game throughout was very interesting, and played in the most manly spirit. Several of the individual players of both sides were seen to a great advantage. The linal score was: Carmarthen Col- lege, 3 goals; Bargoed Rangers, nil. LLANDOVERY COLLEGE v. BRECON COLLEGE. The annual encounter between teams represent- ing the rival colleges of Llandovery and Brecon was piay-ed at Llandovery on Saturday afternoon last, and created considerable interest amongst the sup- porters of each school. The homesters were un- fortunately compelled to turn out without the ser- vices of their brilliant captain, J. E. Cox. His absence affected the play of the backs considerably. The visitors started operations, and Llandovery cf once Invaded the visitors' territory. II. Barker took play close to the visiting line but Griffiths relieved with a good kick into touch. Llandovery still pressed, and G. Humphreys, unfortunately, kicked out of bounds. AV. N. Morgan made a strong at- tempt to score, but was held up on the line. A long kick by one of the Brecon forwards relieved the pressure, and from a, bout of passing F. Llew- ellyn got across with a g.JOd try, the same player converting. The homesters then attacked vigorous- ly. Jenkins handled, and a smart transfer to R. M. Humphreys enabled the latter to score under the uprights. Lloyd Williams failed to convert from an easy position, and at 1w.]f.time Brecon Iwld a lead of two points. Llandovery attacked during the opening stages of the linal half, but were met with a sound defence. D. P. Griffiths unexpectedly picked up in the o|«m, and. with a fin,, turn of speed. Iwat his opponent, arid scored for the visitors. Llewellvn converted. J. T. Davies subsequently dribbled across, but tie touch-judge ruled it in touch. II. Barker made a. good, but ineffectual, endeavour to score b. in- tackled a few yards outside. Still, Llandovery superior, and W. N. Morgan scored after a title bout uf passing. Lloyd Williams again failed with Rick. The homesters, headed bv J. T. Davies, c. n- tinued aggressive, and W. X. Morgan crossed again, but the attempt to convert, proved futile, Llan- dovery thus sustained an unmerited defeat by a soli- tary point through poor place-kicking, and after having the better of the piay. Final score: Christ, College. Brecon, 2 goals (K points): Llandovery Col- lege. 3 tries (9 points).
