is The only comedian III repertoire that

that Miss Isabelle Fletcher. the lead-

THE EIsTEDDFOD.

The programme of subjects for COM
petition at the Eisteddfod to be held
at the Casino in Wheeling Park on
June 3rd, is highly commended by the
people. Hundreds of them has been
distributed in every direction, and it is
encouraging to find so many favorable
comments coming in from the glee
clubs in Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA. The
ElsteddfOd is new thing in Wheel
ing, but we are most sure that all low
ers of music in this vicinity that can
possibly attend these meetings will be
highly pleased to listen TO the grand
contests between such societies as will
be in attendance. Not only vocal mus
ie, but the brass bands will be worth
listening to, and we hope the bands OF
Wheeling, Bellaire, and Bridgeport will
take part and try to keep this prize of
500 from going away to another town.
The benefits of the Eisteddfod to the
Welsh people in this country and in
Wales have been great These con-
stantly recurring festivals have served
to keep alive not only spirit of patri-
otism and love of mother country, but
has elevated them among the best sing
ers in the worid-especially choral
singing, which is greatly enjoyed by
the audience. Singing is very popular
Nth Weshmen both here and abroad.
Someone once called Wales a sea OF
song" In these contests at the Els
teddfod, the musicians, both vocal and
instrumental, are selected at prelim-
mary examination, and about three or
! four Of the best selected by the judges
in private are allowed TO appear in
public. An EiSteddfod contest is al
ways open to any person OF whatever
nationality he may be. This coming
contest will be open to all corners, and
the committee cordially invites all that
| have desire to do SO, to take parts.
Regarding an entrance fee, there is no
such thing in connection with an Els
teddfod, only an admission fee same
as to a concert, or a lecture. Send in
your name, or fictitious name to the
secretary, on or before the date men
toned in the conditions on the pro-
gramme, and that is all that is needed
to be among the competitors.
The committee are in hopes to re-
ceive such patronage at these meet
ings, so as to ensure its success, and
be able to offer prizes for prose, poetry
and art at the next one. In addition
to the subjects and prizes offered in
the programme, the glee clubs and the
audience will unite in singing several
of the most popular Welsh tunes
which undoubtedly will be of interest
to those present.
