We believe he is the first from the town to take part in any international game. THE IDRIS CHORAL SOCIETY. This well known society, under the ably con- ductorship of Mr. O. O. Roberts, is again in full practice. We learn with gratification that they intend giving a grand concert in June on the occasion of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and for which they are now preparing. A distinct feature will be the production of a musical contribution specially selected by one of the best known musicians in the king- dom. The society is about to rehearse Mount of Olives' (Beethoven), probably for another occasion. GOOD NEWS FOR THE POOR. Captain N. T. Williams, late of Mount Mor- gan Gold Mine, has, we learn, forwarded a cheque of E5 to the Rector (Rev. J. Lloyd), and Mr. T. H. Roberts (his brother-in-law), as a contribution in aid of the poor of the town. These gentlemen have handed the sum over to Messrs. R. H. Roberts and Tom Parry, the officials connected with the' Popular entertain- ments fund, which is being raised for distribu- tion amongst the poor. Captain Williams' generosity will, we are sure, be greatly appre ciated. Both Captain and Mrs. Williams (nee Miss Madge Roberts), have already arrived in England from South Africa. PRESENTATION.
