THE COMING EISTEDFODD
Is CAUSING GREAT INTEREST
AMONG THE wELsH-AMERI-
CAN CITIZENS.
EVENT AT WHEELING PARK
On July Second Promises to BE One
of the Musical Events of the Sum-
mer SeasOn-Two Elaborate Musi-
cal Programmes Are to Be Given.
One in the Afternoon and the
Other at Night.

The Welsh people are great lovers
of music. Wherever they are located,
they'll have their literary meetings
and Eisteddfodan, their choruses, and
are always singing. Learning music
is having as much place in their daily
schools in Wales, as arithmetic, gram
mar, or any other branch of education.
Hundreds of their children can play or
read music in the Tonic Sofia, or Old
Notation with ease, before they are
twelve years old The late pianist to
the Prince of Wales, Brinley Richards,
Esq, author of The Songs of Wales, !"
when only twelve years old, won a
prize for playing a selection on the
piano at an Elsteddfod held in Cardiff,
SCUM Wales, in 1864. Prof Dan
Protheroe, of Milwaukee, author of
The Crusaders (Which is to be sung
at these concerts), when only eleven
years old, won the prize over thirty
two competitors at an Eisteddfod held
at Swansea in 1880 in singing the con-
tralro solo, rs There No Balm in Gill
cad, from Owain Alan's Oratoric "Jer-
emiah."
Singing societies numbering from 80
to $50 members belongs to each and
every church in Wales. These congre-
gationai choirs again unite in most
every town in Choral unions and meets
once or twice week, to learn the
great chOruses of Handel, Mozart and
mendelsSOhn, etc. In fact, when we
consluer these things it is no wonder
that some poet said that Wales is a
sea of song" When they leave their
native country, no matter where, they
are never happy as when they can get
together to sing, and the coming event
at the Wheeling Park Casino on July
End, will bring them together by the
hundreds, where they will join in sing
ing, and make the " one Va the most
pleasant to enjoy. They also cordially
invite everyone that can AFFORD to at
