Eisteddfod Victors.
Eisteddfod Victors. Rousing Reception at T, eorchy. Mr. Cyril Jenkins on his Victory. The main road of Treorchy was on Saturday evening thronged with hun- dreds of admrers ready to welcome home (from the Royal National Eisteddfod at Carmarthen, where they had scored memorable successes) Prof. D. Cyril Jen- kns (organist and choirmaster at Beth- ania W.C. Church) and four members of the Treorchy Dramatic Society—Mrs. Naomi Hopkins, Miss Sally George, and Messrs. David Morgan and Wm. George.« A reception had been hurriedly organised, and early in the evening, streets and business premises were elaborately deco- rated. Hundreds of people thronged the Treorchy Railway Station to meet the victors. Here also the Treorchv Town Brass Band had assembled ? well as the Treorchy Choral Society, who had given a notable rendering of ?l?. Jenkins' work. Young Lochinvar," at the National Eisteddfod concer's. As the train con- veying the party steamed into the station the band struck up See the Conquering Hero comes," all-i -tne crowd cheered. Without any delay the party ascended an open landau, and a procession was formed which, headed by the band and the Tre- orchy Choral Society, who wore appro- priate badges, wended its way through the principal streets en route to Beth- ama Chapel, where a largely-attended public meeting took place under the chairmanship of the Rev. 1). R. Jones. Mr. Jenkin* opened the meeting with a fine organ selection, after which the Chairman remarked that they had assembled that evening under very in- teresting circumstances. They were pre- sent to r-o congratulate one who was well known to them all lor over three years as a young man who occupied a rare and conspicuous position in the musical world. He referred to Mr. D. Cyril Jenkins (cheers). They were proud of his achieve- ments at the Royal National Eisteddfod thi.s year again, although it was not his first attempt, a- Jig had made himself felt at the eisteddfod of the previous year. He (the speaker) was also proud ot the opportunity of congratulating the Treorchy Dramatic Society upon their achievement. i10 'Vas glad to think that whilst the W^ elsh novel was awakeming. the Welsh drama was awakening also, and he was sure that whatever dramas might be presented to Wales in the future, they would be given every fairplay by this Society (cheers). Mr. W. T. Owen (secretary of the Tre- orchy Choral Society and organiser of tne evening's receptIOn) said he would make statements that would justify the recep- tion given to Mr. Jenkins that evening. Mr. Jenkins had revealed abilities in per- forming great things in music. Last ye, at Colwyn Bay, he captured the prize for the composition for quartet. His next achievement was at the Carmar- then National Eisteddfod this year, where his choir gave a memorable performance of their conductor's work, Young Lochinvar." and .at the eisteddfod com- petitions he won III the solo and anthem composition's, and also the composition of suitable accompaniments to certain speci- fied old Welsh folk songs (loud cheers). Mr. Owen, in conclusion, said that up to a late hour the previous evening they had not considered anything in the nature of a reception, hut he was very proud that the inhabitants of the district had so readily responded (hear, near). Dr. D. C. Williams said he felt, he could not keep away from that meeting, because lie was a Welshman. He was proud of the achievements of Mr. Jen- kins. and he would be pleased to see him elevated to the highest eminence in the musical world. His beautiful com- position, Young Lochinvar," was a credit to Wales. Dr. Walford Davies and. all the eisteddfod adjudicators had paid Mr. Jenkins special tributes for the work (applause). The Chairman porposed a resoltit1011 congratulating Mr. Jenkins and the Dramatic Society upon their notable achievements, and wishing them every future success. This was seconded by a chorus of voices and carried unanimously. Mr. Jenkins, responding, said he was overwhelmed with joy, although he had not anticipated anything in the nature of a reception- He would like to compli- ment the choir warmly upon the remark- able performance they gave at the eis- teddfod concerts of "Young Lochinvar." When he commenced the work he did not think only of doing somethng for him- self, but for Welsh music also. Wales but lor Weisli rnus ,c ,i l so. was lacking in the grammar of music, hut with their ass)stanee he promised to do his utmost to create a revival in that respect. They were known as a musical nation in Waies, but lie would agree with that if they were referred to as. vocalists only. It appeared to him that most people went in for singing and pianoforte playing, after a mastery of which they believed they had acquired everything that was to be acquired. He thanked them one and all 'for their hearty recep- Mr. Daniel Evans (chairman of the Dramatic Society) also responded. During the evening, solos were ren- dered by Messrs. Dd. Danl. Davies and Dd.

South Wales Markets. [From A. Mitclielson & Co., Stock brokers, Cardiff and Swansea.] TIw imminence of the settlement and the disastrous effect of the labour troubles which seem to have permeated almost every department of industry have combined to frighten the investor out of the market. The result has been a week of almost unrelieved dulness. On the other hand, although London prices have been reflected to a certain extent in some South Wales securities, colliery shares, by reason of the extremely satisfactory posi- tion of the coal trade, have shown no weakness, but in one or two cases, at least, have improved considerably, notably D. Davis and Sons shares, which have jumped a couple of pounds to buyers at t20 1.5s. At this latter price, buying, II however, has not been in such evidence. Duffryn Rhonddas have also been marked I up to 18s. W, There are a number of investors who are taking advantage of the low price of these shares to come in and buy, and we have no doubt that shortly the market will improve. Tre- degars have been firm at about 20s. 6d. It is stated in the coal market that en- I quiry over next cear for coal is in evi- dence. This would seem to denote a con- tinuance of the present satisfactory earn- ings of colliery companies. United Nationals look a good 8 per cent. invest- ment at the present price of ?23 15s. to £ 24.

Death of Great Boxer.
Death of Great Boxer. Late Tom Thomas. I Penygraig. Expires After Three Days' Illness I The death occurred on Sunday morning at Car nee ly n Farm, Penygraig, the resi- dence of his lather, of Tom Thomas, ex- middleweight champion of England, after an illness of only three or four days' duration. The cause of death was cardiac failure, following upon pneumonia. Tom Thomas, who was only 32 years of ago at the time of his death, was one of the best known boxers in Great Britain. He was a popular figure in sporting circles, and what is, unfortu- nately. rare in the profession," he was a gentleman first and boxer afterwards. He was, however, possessed of little busi- ness skill; otherwise he might have died a rich man. To a Pressman he once declared that he was the biggest fool that ever won a championship. He fought Late TOM THOMAS. I close upon fifty battles before lie tasted ) defeat, and it was against a heavyweight I —Jim Sullivan-that he then lost on points. His greatest victory was over Charlie Wilson at the National Sporting Club, when he secured Lord Lonsdale's championship belt. His second defeat was at the hands of Bandsman Rice at W-onderlaild, where, owing to an alleged foul on Thomas' part, the Army man was declared the winner. Tom, however, per- sisted to the last that he did not deserve to lose this fight. A month ago it seemed probable that Tom would have a chance to retrieve his fame by a contest in Wales for the middle- weight championship of the world. The terms of the holder, Billy Papke, had been accepted, when 1 he American demanded that his should be deposited with the Sporting Life." or he would sail for home. At the moment the syndicate only had £ 500 in hard cash, and Papke sailed. Since then Tom appeared only once in the ring, and that was at a benefit ill Ogmore. That night he attempted to reach home by crossing the mountain, and he lost his way. To add to his predica- ment it rained heavily, and he reached home late in the morning wet through, a dangerous adventure for a man who had twice been at death's door with rheu- matic fever. As late as Monday last it was thought Tom would have had a fight. He had signed a contract for Mr. J. T. Jones, of the Welsh Sports Syndicate, to meet Geo. West (London) in a great test for the honour of attempting to wrest the belt from Jim Sullivan, but West- hold out that the weight should not be less tnan llfit. 101b., which, of course, was 41b. more than the middle-weight limit, and could not be regarded as a deciding fight. My Life Story. [By TOM THOMAS.] i: It all happened in this -,N-av said Tom Thomas, recounting how he took up lighting. After finishing my ordinary Board School education at about the age of 14, my father nnd mother Suggested I should have a little more knowledge instilled into me. Before sending me away to school I was taken to Cardigan- shire for a holiday, wliere I met an uncle, who suggested a Grammar School at New Quay, where I could reside with him. All arrangements had been made to start, when something inspired me to run nwav, so I tramped all the way to Car- marthen—a distance of 30 to 40 miles- meeting some gipsies on the way. Iliese wandering Nimrods showed fight and began to set about me in a cowardly fashion, severely slashing me with a whip. It is owing to this hiding I then received that inaugurated the pugilistic spirit that had hitherto lain dormant within me. Ultimately I found myself at home, whence I was sent to school again, where ?- -?- my scholastic career was a very short one, I owing to my thrashing other school lads who used to pick quarrels with me, finally finishing up on my uncle's farm as a ploughboy. On coming home again, I bought a set of boxing gloves, which I carried about with me. inviting anyone to have a couple of rounds with me. MEETING AN AWKWARD CUSTOMER. I One day I met a big burly fellow on my father's farm, who was picking black- berries, and I invited him to don the hair bags. Of course, he accepted the otter with alacrity, and we had a bout of fisti- cuffs there and then. Jabbing him a bit hard on the iace, my big opponent lost his temper, and, lauding me a terrific blow in the stomach, he completely knocked the wind out of me and sent me rolling in the hedge side. When I came to a hit. I wanted to continue, but my opponent was generous enough to cry off to another and more opportune time, see- ing the state I was in. After this drubbing I began to train a little, and a short time after he turned up again, and so we had another set-to, this time ijji the barn. This time I turned the tables, and the big chap had to quit quickly. I boxed with all the lads around the district, until I could get no one to cackle me. "One of my sparring partners I used to practise with had the misfortune of only having one leg, his other being arti- ficial. He was an exceptional man with the gloves, but on one occasion his arti- ficial leg gave way, and it was only after a considerable time had been spent in searching for tools to patch up his leg that he was able to walk home again." Describing his fight with Shearing at the National Sporting Club. Tom said he was prepared to go through anything to win the fight that night. "The M.C. announcing the fight, asked the crowded audience to keep order and give fairplay to a stranger at Wonder- land, viz., Tom Thomas, of Wales. Hear- ing shouts of 2 to 1 on Shearing,' the gong went. Shaking hands, my opponent lashed out his left to my face the same time I countered with a left hook on the jaw, the round ending in a ding-dong battle. Round the second opened with Shearing smashing left and right, and boring in to close quarters. I punched him severely on the body, whilst he landed on the back of my head and neck. In the third and last round, I con- tinued to bore in. and ou his seconds shouting to him, SwIng your left up, Harry,' which meant an upper cut, I instantly swung my left with all the force that I could put behind it. landing it squarely on my opponent's jaw. Shearing fell liko a log, motionless, until his seconds carried him to his corner. This fight was the making of me at Wonderland, where I became very popu- lar. winning every fight there later in less than three rounds by the knock-out route." [The above excerpts are taken from an interview which Tom Thomas granted a Lc.ath'r representative soon after his vic- tory over Wilson.]

Ex-Supt, Cole. 1 Presentation at Ystradm>nacH On Thursday last, ex-Deputy Chief Constable Cole was presented with a por- trait of himself on horseback, the cere- mony taking place in the grounds of Colonel H. M. Lindsay, R.E., Ystrad- mytiach. The gathering included Chief Constable Lindsay, Deputy Chief Con- stable Thomas, Cardiff; Superintendent Gill. Trehan is Superintendent Morris, Barry Dock; Superintendent Williams, Pontypridd and Inspector Letheren, Penarth. The Chief Constable made the presen- tation to Mr. Cole on behalf of the Gla- morgan Police Force. He said Mr. Cole had downed tools" when lie was at his best. and had finished the hardest job of his life—he had been one of the best Deputy Chief Constables. Captain Lindsay added he was glad Mr. Cole was going to stay among them. and he hoped he would keep in touch with the force, and become a member of the Police Com- mittee, where his assistance would be very valuable (hear, hear). Mr. Cole, in responding, thanked his comrades for the kind presentation they had made him, and for the kind words which Captain Lindsay had spoken. No- thing was more gratifying to him than to know lie had &o many friends in the force of which he had been a member for 43 years. Captain Lindsay, lie added, had always been kind and considerate, and there was not a better chief in Eug- land or Wales (hear, hear). The Chief Constable of Glamorgan (Capt. Lionel Lindsay) received the fol- lowing telegram from the Chief Constable of Breconshire: —" Kindly give my hearty congratulations to ex-Deputy Chief Constable Cole. Should like to have had the opportunity of being present at presentation, but unavoidably detained here."
