delighted with the "trip. despite the treat
ment which they received at the hands of

call for no other action than their refusal
10 sing. TIE blame they placed largely
with Hugh II. NlllalnS or the Elsted0fO4
The other Seattle people. however,
especially the people in charge of the eX-
position. treated them very kindly. and
expressed sincere regret at the treatment
they had received The statement of the
Fisteddfod people that they were afraid
to compete is ridiculed by the choir and
by their admirers in Seattle. After they
had sung at the exposition il was con-
coded by practically everyone who hoard
them that the prize would have easily
been theirs had they been permitted TO
compete for it.

Tod management for its treatment of the

was not only diSC0UrtPous but uuprece-
dcntcd. They heard the st. Marks choir
Of Seattle sing ana the Salt Lake choir at
the fair grounds, and they freely declare
that the Tabernacle choir was far superior
To their competitors
