DREFACH RELIGIOUS MEETING.—Preaching meetings were held at Drefach Baptist Chapel on Monday evening and Tuesday. Eloquent and powerful sermons were delivered by the Rev. E. T. Jones, Llanelly, to large and crowded congregations.

PUMPSAINT AN ExciTiNG Fox HuNT.—Great excitment was caused at Pumpsaint shortly after mid-day on Mon- day of last weekk. when the cry of the Neuaddtawr Foxhounds was heard on Berllan Hill, and reynsrd was seen about 4-00 yards in front swimming across the river Twrch. The chase was taken up by an enthusiastic number of labourers, keepers and far- mers, the most prominent being Mr. Daniel Jones. Dyfadfa, who ie 67 years of age, and Mr. T. Davies, Blue Meadow, ex-keeper. After running at a very fast pace through Dolaucothy Wood and up Cefn- coed hill the fox was'seen to be still keeping, the same respectable distance between himself and h.s howling enemies, but soon after the fox and hounds were lost sight of, and a large number of the fol- lowers gave up the ghost and returned. The others went on in the direction of Cwrtycadno. and were not long in discovering that reynard had doubled back and was again making a straight line for Alcwm. The hounds were soon out of sight again. Now everyone turned back except Mr. Jones and two young lads. Although persuaded by the ex- keeper and others to return, the old) veteran possessed too much of the sporting instinct to give up. After running on many miles up hi!! and down dale the hounds were discovered again coming from the direction of Cwmdyfiryn towards Drysallt forest. Here Mr. Jones arrrved before them, now entirely by himself. But he was soon rewarded. Here In the wilderness of Drysallt Mf. Jones had the plea- sure of being right amongst the hounds when !ne nna) dispute was settled. The hounds having eeen Mr. Jones so mHbh during their long run thought him to be the master and yielded him the fox with- out any trouble, which he carried on his shoulders on the way home with the hounds following behind. The rightful master of the hounds met them, not having seen or heard anything of them himself since early morning. Mr. Jones was congratulated by the Master, Captain Methuen, and others', on his arrival at Pumpsaint. May he live to run many a fox down again.—"Armendi."

KtDWELLY FiRE.—During the early hours of Saturday morn:ng last a thatched cottage, situate some two miles from the town, and near LIwynybarcud Farm, was de- stroyed by are. The house was in the occupation of Mrs. Rachel Rees, and the nre it seems originated as follows. Mrs. Rces got up from bed some time during the night and lighted a candle, which she left burning on a chair near the bed. She returned to bed and fell asleep, only waking in time to save herself from being burnt to death as the curtains of the bed had caught 6re from the name of the candle, and the blaze very soon spread all over the house, was burnt to the ground.

It transpires that they were now on their voyage home, and noar Marseilles she died, and the news has caat quite a gloom over the. whole neighbourhood. Mrs. Jones was a native of Ystradmeung, and both at Pencader and Cenarth she had won her way Into the hearts of the parish- ioners. She was liked and beloved by all.

GARNANT I ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.—On Saturday, at the Vetch Field, Swansea, Garnant played the Swansea Gas Works team. Garnant opened with ten men. The Gas Works won the toss, and for a time play was uninteresting until the visitors' left wing livened matters up with a smart centre, which, however, was not accepted. Hansford cleared nice- ly, and the homesters attacked, but the shooting was very weak, as a result of which the visiting custodian was always able to 6eld with ease. Gar- nant's forwards were now playing well, and from a melee in front of the home goal the ball was sent past Hansford by W. Davies. The visitors were now playing strong, and Dudson, after smartly evading several of the opponents, drew the home goalie out, and walked the bali through the goal. Garnant ultimately* won by 2 goals to 1. CALFARiA YOUNG PEOPLE'8 M.I.S.—At the weekly meeting of this society, held on Monday evening, a paper was read on "Cynawniadau Cyhoeddus" by I the Rev. J.

FAIR.—This annual fixture was held on Wednes- day. The attendance is never great as It follows so close on the heels of the big fair. This year, however, it was smaller tlia.n usual, due no doubt to the wet and boisterous weather. Dealers and sellers were but few and little business was done. The fact too that two marts are held where everything desirable in the way of fat stock is obtainable must have a direct bearing on the fair. The lower mart— the one at Ffairfach—we hear is doing so well that It Is stated that a dividend of 5 per cent. is likely to be declared at the next meeting. PonT!'

FOOTBALL MATCHES.—On Thursday week, on the Ammanford football ground, a.. match was played between the members of the Ammanford (Thursday j lackey team and a team which comprised the majority of the Ammanford 1st XV., who were out for practice. The ground was in fair condition, and the spectators were treated to a good game. Tne Hockeyrtes, m the mst hah, scored through Olivj, \v.th a good dropped goal. Afterwards G. Rees, foi Ammanford, scored a try (the result of good passing), which was converted. When halt- time was called the score was:—Ammanford, 5 points; Hockeyites. 4 points. (Jn resuming, a'try was obtained by S.d Hopkins for the hockey team, but the' extra points were not added. Handel Rjchards, for the Town, scored after a splendid run, the Kick for goal, howevp;, failing. The final score was:—Ammanford, 8 points; Hockeyites, 7 points.——On Saturday, on the Cress Inn Llandiy Seconds visited Ammanfoid, and there was H. splendid gate. due, no doubt, to [he fact tha. !;w 'iome team won Swansea Seconds en Saturday week, winch team u.'t.i that day he!d a record. J'he teams lined out a. follows:—Ammanford: Full- back, B. Winch; three-quarter backs, Coiiey, G. Rees, J. Rees, and Handel Richards; half-backs, Tom Lewis and Ivor Jones; forwards. Baker, 'lpt.), J. Evans, E. Evans, W. Prosser, Tom Thomas, Tom Jones, R. Barrett, and W. J. Morgan Llanelly Seconds: Full-back, Dick Davies; tlu-ee- quarter backs, G. Eva.ns, Leyshon, W. Watts, and B. Thomas; half-backs, E. Evans (oapt.) and L. Bcnnett; forwards, Harry Rees, E. Thomas, G. Williams, George Edwards, E. Thomas, D. J. Phil- iips, Arthur Howells, and Rees Davies. Referee, Mr. Harries, Pontardulais. Ammanford kicked on' a.t 3.50, and Llanelly returned to touch at the centre. The visitors were penalised for offside tac- tics. Hanelly then rushed up to the homesters' line, but pfay was worked back to the 25. where Ammanford were penalised for obstruction. No advantage, however, were gained by the kick. Ivor Jones made a mark, and kicked to touch well over the centre. Following up kick, Colley tackled the visitors' full-back on his own line. Llanelly took play back to the centre, where Handel Rich- ards made a mark just in cime. Colley was then laid out for a few minutes. From a scrum at the centre Tom Lewis went away on the blind s'dp, and took play to the visitors' 25. Ivor Jones made an unsuccessful ahemiit to drop a goal, and LIan- el!y had to touch down. The play was very even when half-time was called with the score at—Am- manford, mi; L!ane)!y Seconds, nil. LIanellv re- started, and Ammanford returned to torch at the centre. Cotley made a good run to the visitors' 25. A bout of passing by the homesters ended in -the ba)I being kicked into the visiting full-back's hands. who made a ma,rk. In a scrum formed at the centre Tom Lewis was penalised for being offside. Play was taken to Ammanford's 25, where LIaneHy wcrettfpenalised. Leyshon made a mark at the centre, and the samp nla,yer tried for goa), but the ball fe)I short. George Reps returned to touch with interest. A briHiant bout of pacing bv Am- manford would have ended In a .score had not Handel Rchards over-run his centre, and the ba)I relied into touch. The next minute G. Reps had very hard hnes In not scoring, being bowled into touch near the line. Hanelly rushed play back to the homesters' 25, but Jack Rees saved by kicking into touch. Tom Lewis, completely beating his vis-a-vis, ran strongly, and had he given the ball away sooner, a score would have resulted. After a few scrums at the centre, time was called, the game ending In a pointless draw. NOTES BY 'SPRINGBOK." A very keen game was anticipated, and this proved to be correct. There was a record gate, w'Jiich is fortunate, for Ammanford needs some financial help. A gate like that of Saturday for every home match would strengthen the funds of the com- mittee very much. Fine weather prevailed throughout the game, and the ground was in splendid condition. After their win over Swansea, Seconds on the previous Saturday, Ammanford thought they would have a fine victory over the Scarlets' second team, and had the homesters availed .themselves of all the chances offered, they would have won by at least six points. Tom Lewis should also feed his partner (Ivor Jones) oftener, as with auch a clever outside half, it is always safe to onen out the game. Hande! Richards, J. Rees, ColJcy, and G. Rees were the best men on the home Brinley Winch played a good game at full-back. For LlaneHy Evan Evans was in splendid form. On the day's pla-y Ammanford were by far the better team. J. Rees is the latest "find' of the Ammanfcrd C*Iub, and he plays a. good game at centre. He is a, fearless tackier, and possesses a good turn of speed. Colley is another good player, but tac'ks pace, and were he to take a little training in. sprinting, it would add very much to his play.

Should the team play as well in the ensuing gamp" as It has done during the last two Saturdays, it will have a prosperous as the big crowd on the ground on Saturday amply testified. To-morrow (Saturday), on the Ammanford ground, Gowerton will be the visitors, and a good game is looked forward to.
