for this evening. 1t seems the peo-

going to give them enough for their

Sept. 2S-Our concert last night was
another record breaker. Notwithstand-

were called upon after a great many
numbers, for encores. The manage

Their bass is simply magnificent, and,
in fact, all the male voices had splen-

song. We stood up then on the plat

better be imagined than described. l
only can remember letting go OF earth
for about five minutes, till they had nm
ished it, and then they all gave US
rouslng complimentary clapping OF
hands for a minute or two. After
that we plunged into the programme
and finished it all off by 10 o'clock and
went home and had lovely hot sup

library, where there is a lovely crack

home as you watch the little blaze
dance up and down. That is one thing
like over here-the fires in the CRATES,

are in danger of becoming pufted up
with ain-gloriousness and self-esteem
upon the success with which our Welsh
duet meets. 1t always takes immense

programmes lately. Some of our songs
are making great hits right along, ana
of course, we take to us our fair share
of credit for the correct singing OF
them.
Instead of going by rail back to
Pont-y-pridd this morning we take a
drag and drive back cross the country.
1t is a great deal pleasanter, and we al
ways enjoy our drives so much that we
take one at every opportunity, except
when it rains, and it is clear again, the

Welcome News from Home.
Later-Home again from Pont-y-
cymmer. We had a most beautiful
drive through about twenty miles of
lovely rural scenery, here and there
coming upon some grandee's large
place, but they are rather few and far
between. We saw the site on which
DR.. Price, one of the last of the old
Druids, was cremated. 1t is q rather
romantic spot on the top of hill. Aside
from that the ride was quite unevent-
full. We sing tonight at Tonyhandy
and, Of joy! tomorrow night we are to
have rest for once. How glad l am,
not to have to dress and go to some
other town and hold forth to them just
as If were simply delighted to have the
pleasure of singing to them, when all
the time I am rather bored at it. The
nights rest at home will be appreciated
by us all, lam very sure.
There was an American mail waiting
for me this noon, upon our arrival here,
and how glad / was to read the dear
letters from home. There is lots of news
in there from Scranton, Pittston and
Wilkes-Barre, and no one can imagine
the pleasure that the American mail
can give to an American away off from
his country, until he goes away himself
and longs for letters from home.
