THE TOOELE CHOIR PROTESTS
THINKS 1T OUGHT TO HAVE HAD
THE PRIZE.
Which It Is Claimed Was Given to
Another On Technicality-Full
List of the Awards.

Below will be found a complete list
of winners of prizes at the Eisteddfod
last week. The Tooele county chorus
makes the following protest in regard
to the award in their class:
The Cambrians have decided to with
hold-or rather award the prize Won by
the Tooele county choir to another, on
the technical grounds that a rule was
broken by Professor Stephens stepping
in and helping to make the required
number of 40 voices.
/ The justice OF this is questioned on
the grounds that Mr.. Stephens pres
ence could not possibly have affected
any of the points from which DR.. Parry
awarded them the prize according to
his statement read at the Eisteddfod,
and here reproduced from his book:
Adjudication-Not the points, first
| the tempo or speed; second, blending of
voices; third, emotional feeling; fourth,
i pianissino Cor soft swingt effects; fifth,
chrcmatic (difficulD harmonies; sixth,
4 last movement flow and without eXag-
geration; seventh, free Of faults, the
whole being a picture of variety and
free from all straining for effects.
We contend that these were points
gained by the work of the choir as a
! whole. that would Rave been apparent
/ had it not been forced by the lack of
numbers to ask for aid and that they
are each and all points which the aid
could not have in the least enhanced.
Hence the injustice of awarding the
prize to other ehoirs who We're not
| equal to them in these essential points.
