A SHIP ON FIRE IN CARDIFF DOCK. J AN EXPLOSION ON BOARD. THE VESSEL SUNK. Early on Saturday morning a seriong fire;broke- out on board the Norwegian barque Glimt, which was then loading at No. s tip, East Dock. She had come light from Philadelphia, but had previously been used for the conveyance of paraffin to thi", cause, it is thought, the fire owes its origin. A considerable quantity of gas had eelleeted in the hold, and on the men going there somewhat in- cautiously with a fight on Satnrday morning, the- gaa canght fire, aad a alight explosion took plactK the barque began rapidly to bnrn. and the Dock police with their fire hose and rMI, ae well ae tit*. waterboai of a tng, came np instantly. Their efforts were however, unavailing, and preparations were made to aint. dio vessel. A large quantity of- water was allowed to enter her, whieh pnt the firw. under. A considerable amount of damage JuU1 already been done, hut as the fire was mainly o.Jt- fined to the hold and the surrennding portien»v there was act -much evidenos ef it to be seen on, board. The barque was towed out shortly after nine o'clock to the Kast Basin and ecnttled. The- brokers of the ship are Messra Jonee and Ingram* ef Cardiff.

:PERFORMANCE OF "PLANT YR…
PERFORMANCE OF "PLANT YR YSGOL" AT YSTRAD RHONDDA. The cantata, "Plant yr Ysgol" was performed on Thursday at Bethel Methodist Chapel, by the Juvenile Choir belonginarto the said chapel. The chair was ably filled on the occasion by Mr. D. Evans, Bodringallt Heuse. The proceedings opened with a pianefoite solo, by Miss Gwen Evans, Bod- ringallt Hfuee Thi-t Was followed by the rendering of the song, Sailing," by Llew Rhondda; Miss Parker (Bronwen Dyfodwg) contributed, ''Daddy," Many a Mile Away," was the song selected by Mr. Edward Hnghes, Llwynpia; Llew Rhondda sang another of his favourites, viz., The Friar of Orders Gray." The duett Howell, Rowell, dost thou loiter," rendeied by BrQnwen Dyfodwg and Mr. Hughes concluded the miscellaneous part of the programme. The chief event of the evening was then proceeded with, viz., the performance of the cantata named above. As this piece of music has just been introduced before the public a few details of the various items would doubtless be seasonable. The signature of the first chorus is the four crotcbefr bar, with C marked instead of 4-4. They key is F major. It ohanges to D and A minor. This chorus was rendered vory well by the choir. The bell is ringing," duett for soprano and alto. The rendering of this piece by Miss Lizzie Llewellyn acd Bronwen Dyfodwg was Yery charming. The chromatics were carefully observed, otherwise the effect would have been disastrous. The duet is written in three- part order, and in the key of C natural, "The children on going to School," (chorus.) This is written in the 3-8 movement or the three-part order, and in the key,of C as before. It changes to F major, D and A minor. The intonation was not neglected, the ohromatics in particular. The dominant 7th, in page 7 acd 9, was very telling. The trebles did perfect jastice in their observation of this particu- lar point. The Subordinate Teachers (qaartett). This is allotted for soprano, alto, tenor and bass. It is marked with four fiats, and in the six-quaver bar. The signature (A major) is very well adapted to the words. The modulations are D and E major, B and C minor. This was given in good style by the performers, especially the top notes by Miss Parker. The Late Scholars at School" (duet). This part was allotted to Masters D. and J. Jenkins. "The Schoolmaster" (song). The signature is E by three fiats (as in the previous piece), but marked in three-crotchet bar, and not the four-crotchet bar as in the duet named last. The solo was well given. The Officer" (solo). The key is G major, and is written in the nine part order, viz., 9-8. Mr. William Tbomas, atten- dance officer to the Ystradyfodwg School Board, expounded this part with skill. The Two Naughty Beys," Matters Arthur Evans and David Jenkins (duet). This is marked with the signature G. minor, and in the four part order. Many of the audience shed tears on hearing the little ones im- ploring for mercy in a most pathetic tone on being summoned before their master for their mis. behaviour. This, indeed, was tiuly striking, when they uttered the words, Meistr Bach" (litt;e master) Solo, The Schoolmaster." The key is F. The master in a firm tone reminded them of their previous bad conduct, and repeatedly ad- dressed them a<i naughty boys. The little oues observing his resolute attitude, again pleaded most. piteously for him to overlook their actions. This moved the audience very much. Ultimately thrir master ordered t':em to enter upon their scholastic duties. On being relieved of their uncomfortable position, a change was apparent in their counten- ances. The Naughty Boy Singing Alone," Master D. Jenkins. The signature over this is D minor, a key which is very appropriate when depressed in mind. The master commanding the children to leave school to play. All forthwith joining in singing, Tra la la." The master had two receipts to acquit just hern. "Hold of the Morning" (chorus). The children on being released of their morning-daties hereupon sang merrily. The choir disposed of this pleasantly. Part second was introduced by the Schoolmaster singing a solo. He impressed upon the scholars the advantage would be exteedud in after life by the knowledge imparted to them. This was capitally raudered. •• The Naughty Boy Cjn p aining Against, the bcheol." This was represented with marked effect by jfastcr Arthur Ev.jns. TLe naughty boy who absents iiiise i: fso\<i school has the conituon name of IViiteher." So t»;<< part aa;igtfedio Master Arthur KVHLB was aa important feature in the cantata. Th* chorus wh <$. ■followed. wes an amusing one, as u.'l tbe .oi.iii'ieit .Enjoyed in a hearty iaagb over the ulqd a3«iuU.e89 which troubled the "Mitcher." Duet,, he Attendance Officer and the Moiticr." Th8 duet is written over the key of A u.ajor. Mr. Thomas and Bronwen Dyfodwg sang it with proclaim and consideiab'e effect. The Accu- era." (Quartett). The signa- ture of this p'eee is D. major. The accusers were in court and tendeud evidence against the parents, who were charged with neglecting their sou. This composition is rathera difficult one but fortunately was sung in tune throughout. To aecomplisn the task satisfactorily, care should be taken in choosing voices. In this nstuncejudgmenthadbeendisplayad. The J ustioe." After weighing the evidence oare-, fully the magistrate disposed of the case with a fiue of J51, or one month's imprisonment. The mother in a doleful strain (written in G minor) accused him of doing an in j notice. Miss Park-r made a bold effort to represent the feeling of tJa8i mother on such occasion. Chorus, "I The JUBtices, Attendance Officer and Police Offiotrs." This chorae comprises several accidents. It is written over th" key of G major. Much attention to correct intona- tion and expression was exhibited in the rendering of this capital piece. The words are truly suitable. ¡ It is generally admitted that education is most; essential in noMr-a-days. The third p*rt embraced j the natntter's solicitations for the children to appear clean, Slc., on the day of examination. Also the children expressing their readiness to account for, the manned with which they bad worked during the past months. This was followed by the teati- ) mony of the examiner, the master afterwards an- nouncing the holidays, all joiniog Lilti,mately in singing a gong of praise, The well-known tune, "The March the Men of Harleoh," has been suitably adapted for the occasion. Having thus mttde a few remarks on the various items, it is right to. obaefve further upon other mattera. It should be stated that the c-tntata is composed by Mr. J. T. Rees, of Aberystwith. The same gentle- man was awktded the prize of £20, at the last National Eifcteddfod at Aberdare, for the piecebf music for string instruments. The cantata Plant Yr Ysgoi," is capitally arranged, and 0 «ld easily be rendered by small choirs. On the wholo it is not a difficult one. The words were penned by ¡ loan Dderwen o Too, sad he deserves to be piaised for his production. The choir was ably conducted ¡' on this occasion by Mr. D. Evans, sanitary Inspec- tor. Mr. Evans, we are glad to bear testimony, has worked assiduously for years with the sole object of improving the taste for music. The young ones always rally aronnd him, as t) ev lire. ,I. aware that Mr. Evans is deeply interested in their prospects. The concerts are held annually, and up to this time Mrs. Rees, of Nantwich (late Miss t Winifred Evans, Bodringallt House), invariably presided at the pianoforte. Her absence, tberer fore, was keenly felt. However, her arduous task j was taken by her sister, Miss Gwen Evans, Bod. j' ringallt House, and much to ber credit she pre- sided at the pianoforte for about two houis with skill and determination. The stage was neatly arranged. The young ladies and the little boya were prettily equipped their efforts were very mnch appreciated. Miss Parker and Llew Ehon- [ were prettily equipped their efforts were very mnch appreciated. Miss Parker. awl Llew Ehon- [ dda are well-known trained singers, Mr. Hughebt I of Llwynpia, sings with taste; he possse^es a sweet tenor voice. We augbr for feim a bright future. Speaking generally of the performance; we cfmiiot say it was faultless. Greater card I should be given to the cotrect pronimaiajioii cf tho words. Thia fault is often experienced, aad, ia4eed. by a ols" of singers that afcould kao* j better. The chairman proposed a vote of thanks to the performers. Mr. W. G. Howell, super- intendent of schools, in fitting remarks, seconded the proposition. The meeting afterwards termi- nated.
