The Big ElSTEDDf0D.
Great Throngs That Will Attend
Next Fridays Event in the
New Armory.

On Friday next comes the great COM
petitive test of merit in song and lit
| erature, in the first Of which the Ger
man and Welsh singers are the partici-
pants, while in the latter ambitious
bards and literati from all parts of the
globe have spun their poetry and prose
to comport with the several themes. or
subjects, in the prize competitions at
the great national eisteddfod.
At 0 o'clock on the morning Of the
3Oth the great army Of contestants In
solos, duets, quarettes, male and fe-
male chorus, and mixed parties hailing
from Utica, Bangor, Wilkes-Barre, Ed
wardsville, Newcastle, Brooklyn, Ohio,
and other places, will assemble in the
armory to pass the initial or prelimin-
ary tests before j. w. Parson Price, Of
New York, and j. Powell Jones, Of
Cleveland, o.
The decorations of the knights
Templar will be held over for the
eisteddfod so its patrons will witness
this added scene Of splendor and mag
nificence.
Practically all hotels have been en-
gagged for competing choirs from afar.
and great many others will sleep in
their chartered railroad sleeping cars
Arrangements have been made with
the railroads to hold all excursion
trains until after the eisteddfod and
excursionists from Binghamton, Wilkes
Barre, Carbondale, and nearby towns
and cities may remain to witness the
eisteddfod and return home the same
evening.
The great Brooklyn Arions, winners
of the Kaiser s25,OO0 trophy, will come
12O strong, with host of admirers to
accompany them. Some 1,50O seats will
be set aside for competing choirs.
The committee in charge of seats has
provided sufficient for all patrons, as
every available space has been appro-
priated. The reserved section for sub
scribers for the entire session has been
well-nigh marked off. 1t is expected by
Wednesday this section will be filled.
The other sections on the diagram will
not be marked on the diagram as the
seats are not numbered. A large num-
ber of these are already sold and it
would be we'll for those who intend to
attend to mark their seats at once.
For the convenience of others who
may wish to avail themselves Of SUBJ

in the armory. All information may
be obtained of the secretary at sos
Linden street.

There were no changes Of position
among the first eleven leaders on Satur-
day in The Tribunes Educational Con-
test. kellerman, although in imminent
danger of losing first place on Saturday
morning, still holds it by points, and
Rodriguez keeps third by only 5 points.
Four of the contestants now have over
100 points each, while fifth has almost
that many.
L. f.. Stanton climbed up another
notch yesterday and is now in twelfth
place, and Emanuel Bucci and Edgar
Wilson, jr, both made gains in their
positions. the latter going up from last
place in the list.
During the week ending Saturday
evening there We're seventeen contest
ants who scored points. as follows:
Charles Burns, Vandling, 81; A. ].

S. Rodriguez. Scranton, So: Herbert

Dorsey, Scranton, 4; Edgar Wilson, jr.,
Scranton. 1; c. j. Clark, Peckville, 1.
1t will be noted that in the above
summary not one young lady returned
points, although some of the most at
tractive scholarships are for them.
Quite a number of entries have been
received from young ladies', but only
three have thus far returned points, and
the highest position any Of them has
attained is seventeenth place. The total
OF the points returned by these three
young ladies would give one OF them
thirteenth place. The young men are
doing so much better that 1t is sur
prising.
Thirteen of the names printed in the
above table failed to report a single
point last week. Some of their owners
may have been busy In other fields and
will do much better this week.
Today begins the last week Of the
first month of the contest. The contest
ant who returns the largest number Of
points for May will receive as a special
honor reward handsome gold watch.
There should be great activity among
the leaders, for the prize Is certainly
worth the getting.
