nent Schuylkill county eisteddfod organic
alton.
There we're but few prominent men q
the county who failed TO appear at tn
festival.
Llew Herbert says that Charley Schoppt
OF the Grant Comet bald, is an excellen
baritone player. He says he watched th
music during the band contest and Schopp
did not miss a note,
1t was TOO bad the Third Brigade Band c
Pottsvillo and some other musical organiza
lions did not appear to compete. Nothin
would have delighted the Pottsvilie peopl
more.
Mahanoy City was on deck as a priz
winner.
Capt, Ted Reese was in high glee. "Ir
glad it's a success, ~ he said.
Several weeks ago some parties predicte
that an open-air eisLeddlod would be
rank failure. Some of the same parti,
are now to the front in favor Of a PERM

A $500 prize would draw on Scranton
Wilkes Barre, Plymouth and other distar
points next year.
The expenses incurred in arranging tn
e%isteddfod we're large, but the committe
win more than clear them.
