London, May 30.-The, Dirt hday of King
Edward, who was born Nov. 9, 1871, was
officially celebrated to day, it having been
decided, as announced in the Official Ga
zette, April 49, that his majesty's natal
day was to be celebrated in London and
on the home stations May 80, as being the
most suitable time for a military display.
On the other hand, foreign stations will
celebrate it Nov 8, the actual anniver-
sary, of his majesty's birth. General in
terest in, the celebration was apparently
not seriously diminished by the expecta
tons of the greater series of events sur
rounding the coronation -. .s,..s....
The towns throu ghout the kingdom
were gally decorated, and the shipping t
the various ports made the gayeat displays
of bunting. The chief celebration was the
ceremony of s'trooping the colors'' on the
horse guards parade here, and the presen-
tation of co1ors to the new Irish guards
Stands covered with crimson cloth were
erected on three sides of the parade
ground and were: ocucpied by thousands
of privileged spectators, including the
United States ambassador, Joseph H.
Choate and Mrs. Choate and the secretary
Of the United: States embassy. Henry
White. Thousands of other. persons were
grouped closely around the lines of SEN
tries. His majesty, who rode between
the Prince Of Wales and the Duke of Con-
naught, wore the uniform of colonel of
the Irish guards. Lord Roberts,: the COM
mander n-chief Of the forces, who led the
procession, also wore: the uniform of
colonel Of the Irish guards. Queen Alex
andra and other members of the royal
family viewed the scene from the windows
of the horse guards. - ~.
After an inspection of the line of troops
and the presentation of the colors the GER
emonies ended with review of all the
troops on the ground.
The weather was wet and raw.

The oxford Glee club gave a concert
in the First Welsh Baptist church last
evening in aid of William John Thomas
of Eynon street, one of their members,
who suffered fractured leg while at
work in the Sloan mines some six
weeks ago. The prevailing strike un-
doubtcdly interfered with the attend
ance, but there was fair sized audi
ence there who enjoyed the various
numbers.
John r. Lewis presided, and for an
opening the Glee club sang "All
Through the Night" which will be one
of the competitive selections at the
national eisteddfod. The rendition was
not as good as the club is capable >of
doing, because many of their best sing
ers were absent last night, neverthe-
less the effort was thoroughly appre-
Ciated.
Fred Evans. young man with an
excellent voice. followed with the rem
dition of "Day by Day" which was
given in such a manner that earned for
him hearty encore. Thomas Elias
also sang solo. Salvation Is Nigh
Them" and gave an excellent rendi-
tion. and for an encore he recited 1.-THE
Bootblack.'
David Jenkins, who Is now the lead
er of the Glee club, sang number of
times during the evening, and it must
truthfully be said that his singing inn
proves with age. His voice Is Of superb
quality. richness and compass, and he
sings with freedom and splendid con-
ceptlon. He was accorded several en-
cores.
Miss Via Jones, the contralto, who
is also winning new laurels, sang
"Heaven Shall Make Perfect Our Inn
perfect Life" and for an encore render
ed when the Sun Is on the HILL" The
accompanies of the evening were Miss
Norma Williams and Mrs. D. 3.
Thomas, who are always important
factors in West Scranton concert work.
The Glee club then rendered the
"Pilgrim's Chorus" which was the
competitive piece at the Allentown
eisteddfod, with David jenkins acting
as conductor and singing the solo part
at the same time. This rendition was
good, but lacked the usual strength
and force of the full chorus.
John Evans sang a pleasing tenor
solo. and was literally applauded and
responded to the demands of the audi
ence for second number He gave it
willingly, and his singing melted much
favorable comment. He was accom-
panied in the latter song by Hugh
Williams on the piano.
