the play out with anybody else except
Maude ADAMS in the part of Peter.

this body OF picked singers were
brought distance of nearly 1000 miles,

the committee for four days. This one
feature of the Eisteddfod gave it much
distinction and dignity and capped the
climax OF any Eisteddfodic enterprise I
have ever known. l want to refer also
to the discipline observable In Stephens

the choir to Sing. was to look at Mr
Stephens. lift my finger "a sign agreed
upon by us). and then the choir would
march and countermarch to the stage
like body of soldiers. without noise,
confusion OF delay. 1t took just three
minutes from the time the sign was
given to the time the choir began TO
sing; and, il my recollection serves mo
rightly, this choir sang choruses, many
of them from the great oratorios. in
over a dozen instances. without copies.
II want here and now, to express my
admiration of the work of the choir,
and to congratulate their leader, Mr..
Stephens, on the efficient service he has
rendered In the cause OF choral sing
