The Eisteddfod to be held in Cincin-
natl next January, has already begun
to attract the attention of the local
singing societies. The programme sent
out is a long one, containing the vari-
GUS subjects and the prizes offered for
their rendition. The members Of the
Welsh Singing Society here have ar
ranged to hold meeting Sunday after
noon in the Welsh Congregational
Church at Aetnaville for the purpose of
discussing the advisability of having
the societies of the neighboring towns
join with them to form a choir that
will compete for the choral prizes which
range from 5000 to $500 The idea
would undoubtedly be a good one to
carry out, as there are many good
vocalists in this locality. and if once
gotten together and trained by an eff
oent leader, they would put up a stiff
argument for the prize. 1t is to be
hoped that the plan now on foot toward
the organization of the societies into
one large one for this event will be
carried out.
