Major Corley, and his devotion to duty
was only surpassed by his love for his
fellow-soldlers. The close of the war found
him, like many other southerners, devoid OF

customed. For several years he farmed
at his old homestead, and then removed
to Petersburg, where he engaged in the
insurance business. When 81 years of

THE OPENING SESSION.
Began with Addresses by Attorney
Lewis and Conductor Williams,

Attorney w. r. Lewis, chairman of
the eisteddfod committee, in opening
the eisteddfod, thanked, in behalf of
the lodge, those individuals and fac
tors that made the eisteddfod q sue
cess. The newspapers were especially
marked for Attorney Lewis gracious
words. In concluding his brief speech,
Attorney Lewis introduced Hon. John
It. Williams, who acted in the dual
capacity of conductor and president of
the morning session. Reese G.. Brooks
had been selected as morning conduc-
tor, but he was unable to be present
During his address Mr.. Williams
took occasion to pay a tribute to the
eisteddfod generally and referring TO
the part played in the freedom and de-
velopment of the United States by
Roger Williams and Robert Morris. He
said that there is something inspiring
about competitions and we should not
think of the mere pecuniary prize, but
the good which the encounter encour-
ages. 1t means nobler menhood and
womanhood. After congratulating
Robert Morris lodge upon the success
of their eisteddfods Conductor Will
liams announced that the eisteddfod
was open.
Led by Roger Evans, the audience
sang 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"
Then came those delightful addresses

sponse TO Conductor Williams call

At the evening session, after a spirit
ed three-cornered contest the Scranton

Won the principal prize of $500.
The Tribune's prize story competition

Gge, whose home is at Archibald. Mr..
Foote'S story was entitled "The Last of
the Druids" and will be printed in next

ries that We're received only two were
deemed worthy of mention in the final
decision by Adjudicator Livy S. Rich
ard, that of Mr.. Foote and a story en-
titled "The Wonder of It." The prize

ton, Liberty and Union," was Web
ster's famous speech and Webster was
an orator. Hence to get the full spirit
of the recitation the speaker must be
what Professor Bonbright called "Web-
sterian oratory," of which repose Is an
important part. OF the two speakers
Mr.. Jennings had good enunciation and
was strong in repose. Mr.. Watkins
possessed ease Of manner and good
round voice. Mr.. Watkins was given
the prize.
At this point in the session the Rob
ert Morris lodge quartette sang annie
Laurie" The members are: Edwin
Bowen, David Stephens, John w.
Jones and p. II. Warren. The singing
was complimented with an encore,
which was demanded by the audi
ence.
The piano solo contest for two prizes,
Sc and SO, donated by Colonel E. H.
Ripple, had three players. Miss Jennie
O'Boyle played first, afterward John
Martin and lastly Miss Sadie Edwards.
Adjudicator Jones complimented the
young players all of whom are under
20 years Of age, upon their undoubted
conscientlousness. Miss OBoyle who
"Mendelssohn," possessed a remark
able technique; Martin" was too ner-
vous. "Blodwin," Miss Edwards,
| gave a very fine performance, and she
was given the first prize. Miss O'Boyle
was awarded second prize.
MISS JOSEPH THE VICTOR.
| In the contralto solo contest, "The
| Incense of the Morning" for a first
! prize 1857 and a second prize (S3),

And dancing feet would spurn the earth,
What Rladsome strains with thee had
birthi
But sweeter still the ringing chord
Thro' which the soul devout is poured
In one grand paean, Praise the Lord!
Could thine have been a downward gaze
Whose strains so oft mems souls upralse
From earth TO heaven on wings Of praise?
All, mol mind OF lofty bent,
soul for grandest mission meant
Dweh in that feeble, fleshly tent.
We Joy that he among us wrought,
Achieved and sung, aspired and thought,
And half attained the might he sought.
Great Gwent! our country's crowning
pride,
Thy honors as the world are wide,
Thy fame forever will abide!
Miss Williams was not present at the
morning session.
CHILDREN's CONTEST.
The last event of the session was the
the best, the childrens' choir contest
This is the prettiest, sweetest, in fact
adjectives fail TO describe the enter
tainment afforded by the singing Of
choirs of Welsh children. There were
four choirs entered:
The Bellevue choir (No. D-Eddie
Davis, age 13, leader; Mrs. ID. y. Thom-
as, accompanist. First Welsh Baptist
church choir (No. 2)-John B. Jones,
conductor; Miss Norma williams, ac-
companist. Olyphant choir (No. 81
Humphrey Williams, conductor; An
ME Jones, accompanist Sherman
Avenue Mission, of Plymouth Congre-
gational church (No. 4--William Jones,
conductor; Annie Davis, accompanist.
Each choir took the stage in num-
bers about equal, forty children under
IS years of age and the ten adults al
lowed to each chorus. The piece was
"As You Co." a light creation by I. II.
Meredith, and the prize $40, donated
by Clarke Bros. No better selection
could have been made. The song was
suited to childrens' voices and there
was plenty of music in it,
After tine four choirs had sung the
audience arose and moved for the
doors. There was much confusion and
excitement Conductor Williams and
others on the platform strove to re-
store quiet. but the lateness of the
hour. 1.30 o'clock, was too much for
the dinners waiting patiently at home.
THE ADJUDICATION.
Finally Adjudicator Jones had ar
rived at his decision and he announced
the result. He noticed that the chill
dren have fallen into the older sing
crs' faults. Three of the choirs sang to
preludes and interludes played upon
the piano. This was not in the copy
and the introduction of the piano al
these points was wrong. The fourth
choir sang without this piano prelude
and used only the ear to collect the
chord. Adjudicator Jones commend.
ed this. No. l choir had good altos
but the sopranos were too open and
forced. He paid a nice compliment tc
Eddie Davis, the young leader.
Choir No. had a truer quality OF
tone, and the leader, Johnnie Jones
had an unaffected style. Choir No.
sang well, but made the mistake about
the first chord. No. 4 was best and was

IN THE AFTERNOON.
Many Contests Were Decided and
Prizes Awarded.

In the afternoon the weather was
just as delightful as the morning. The
time to start was set down for 2.3O
o'clock but the morning session had
stolen an hour of time and the open-
ing of the afternoon meeting was de-
layed until nearly $3.50 o'clock.
There was a good audience but the
empty seats were more numerous than
marked the mornings attendance. The
session began with the introduction by
Attorney Lewis, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, of City Solicitor
James H. Torrey, who acted as con-
ductor for the afternoon. Mr.. Torrey
made few graceful remarks, curtail-
ed he said because of the lateness OF
the starting hour. He commended the
Lodge of IVorites upon the success of
the eisteddfod, and in concluding Mr..
Torrey introduced Rev. De Pugh Grif-
fiths, of Utica, who acted as president
of the session. He referred first to the
eisteddfod and made the statement
that the eisteddfod cannot be perpet-
uated unless perpetuated in English.
After paying tribute to Robert Morris
Mr.. Griffiths said:

David Stephens. Llewellyn Jones ac-.
companied the former and Mrs. d. B.
Thomas the last named. Adjudicator
on music, J. Powell Jones, made his
first decision on this duet contest. He
gave the prize money to Mrs, Will
liams and Mr.. Stephens. His reasons
were that the voices blended better.
He adjudicated on quality, reading, in
tonation, style, expression and gen
eral effect.
Competition No. Q was on the recita-
ton, 1.-The Painter of Seville" for
prize of So, donated by Attorney II. l..
Taylor Two young misses entered,
Miss Bessie Slote and Miss Gertrude
Williams, of Edwardsdale. Miss Will
liams recited first, followed by Miss
Slote. Miss Williams made a very un-
fortunate mistake in the very first part
of her recitation. Little Miss Slote
gave as clever d recitation as has ever
been spoken on the rockingham stage
The adjudicator of recitations, Profess
sor w. S. Bonbright, of this city, in a
most capable manner gave an adjudi-
cation of the work of the two reciters
AS was noticed by the audience, Miss
Slote's was pretty nearly perfect. Pro-
fessor Bonbright 'complimented Miss
Slote for her dramatic ability and said
that elocutionists, like poets, are born,
not made
BARITONE COMPETITION.
The next competition was on the
baritone solo. "The Raft" (Pinsuti), for
two prizes of Sc and SO. donated by
Wade II. Finn. John w. Jones, accom-
inA Lo
first singer. william Evans sang sec
oni. He was accompanied by Miss
Norma Williams. Philip II. Warren
sang third. He was accompanied by
Mrs. D.JB. Thomas. Be-
Professor Jones, in his adjudication
of this contest, reviewed the prelim-
mary contest in which the singers
were entered. Only three passed sue.
cessfully through the test.
The adjudication showed that Mr.
Jones had attained 67 points out of a
possible 70; Mr.. Evans, sc, and Mr.
Warren, 81. Mr.. Warren's weakness
was his powerful voice, which the ad-
Indicator thought was too much SC
for baritone solo.
The lodge quartette, Edwin Bowen
| David Stephens, John w. Jones and p
II. Warren entertained with "Juanita,
Mrs. Thomas accompanying. Aftei
this Miss Annie Williams, a pupil OF
Professor Rcsar, gave a piano solo.
The adjudication on the Truths prize
poem contest, subject "Gwilyn Gwent,
was made by Professor Therol G. Os.
borne, of Greenwood, who had re.
ceived twenty-four compositions. The
winning poem was written by Mis-!
Orien Williams, of Peckville, whose
pen name was Monica" Miss Will
liams has hitherto made no pretenst
as a poetess, but her poem show:
marked ability. she is the daughter
