Every WE'LL" answered the Judge with
conviction.'I believe that our choirs
are the equals of any Welsh choir in
every respect. We have had choral
organizations in this city that would
rival. If not surpass. the great Llanelly
eisteddfOd chOirs.'
''Is Scranton well-known in Wales"
inquired the interviewer.
Yes" was the reply. scranton Is

emy of Music Saturday night.
1t Is in Faust" that Chev. Albert L.
Guile Is heard to the greatest ad-
vantage. Monsieur Guile, the great
tenor, gives a most intense and realis-
tic impersonatiOn OF two characters
originally created by him and sung
with brilliant success at the Metropoli-
tan, in New York city. The role OF
Faust is intensely dramatic, and taxes
the tragic power of It's essayer to the
widest limit. but. with his natural en-
dowments and consummate art, Guile
rose to the height OF the sublime both
vocally and dramatically. and held his
auditors spcllbOund under the charm
of his intensity. Chev. Guile will be
heard with the Marie Tavary Grand
English Opera company at the Froth-
ingham next Monday and Tuesday

The second game in the Wilkes

club on It's own grounds yesterday.
Practically, the Wilkes-Barreans de-
served their victory. but they We're

fortunate circumstances. which. as
usual, worked the hardest kind Of i'll

rean by the name of McQuaid. Nc
Quaid has a crop of red hair and an
elongated figure. otherwise his only i'm
portance in the games rested in the
fact that he was one of the chief rea-
sons for Scranton's defeat He made
one of the yellowest and most ancient
kinds of bad-smelling muffs which cost
a run in the sixth: ne fumbled a
grounder In t,e fourth which cost a
run. and he succeeded in tanning him

Barre run came In on an inexcuseable,

Eacan's Lamcncss Contributed.
In addition to the disaster Gaused by
the red-headed McQuaid experiment,
Billy Eagan's lameness had much to
DO with the result. Three ground balls
and two flies would surely have been
eaten up by him II he had been able
to reach them, and In addition he was
forced to miss a chance to receive an
assist from Moss and was twice thrown
out at first. which he would have
reached safely II his running gear had
been in good order.
Still. the game was not without In
terest. There We're four double plays
by Scranton and one by the enemy.
and Scranton was offered several
chances to score, which left her friends
anxious and the Wilkes-Barre rooter
a'rooting. Dunn made several diff
cult stops and assists and showed
himself to be conner. Moss put up
brilliant infield game. and Billy Eagan
did more than could have been expect
ed of a man with only one leg. The

To the executive committee of the


Scranton United choir:
We ask for information regarding
what has been done with the $1,000
prize won at the Wilkes-Barre eistedd-
fod in May. If the balance of the
money has been paid you. we think it
time that it should be divided. We are
not in any more need of it than some
one else. but we can find room for it,
and will then know where it is. The
time has gone far beyond the limit in
which the president of the choir de-
clded that the balance should be paid.
We think it time that the honorable
gentlemen Of the executive committee
of the Scranton United choir should
call meeting for the purpose of ex-
planning whether the balance of the
prize money has been received or not.
Yours very truly.
