LONDON, September II, 1910.
The Atlantic passenger lines are at
present reaping a rich harvest. never
have so many Americans and Cana
dams visited Great Britain and Europe,
and the demand for berths has conse-
ouently been unprecedented. The rush
home has been In progress for some
weeks now. and the liners sailing from
Liverpool for the United States and
Canada have carried full lists in the first
and second cabin. Every saloon berth Is
taken, and people who failed to book
return passage in advance find themselves
temporarily stranded in Liverpool or Lon
DON The principal hotels of Liverpool
are crowded with Americans waiting for
berths on the liners.
Some of these anxious people have sat
in the passenger offices hoping berth
might become vacant through the rail-
ure of a passenger to turn up One Gay
recently quite number OF these people
were in the Office of one OF the steam
ship companies when word was received:
Two passengers missed train at Lon
don. Sell berths." Clamorous appeals
were made for these two berths by the
people waiting in the office.
Wealthy People in Storage.
When the Mauretania sailed from Liver
pool last Saturday a number of wealthy
Americans, who were in a hurry to get
back. ascertaining that neither saloon
nor second cabin berths were to be had,
booked steerage. Among them were sew
eral professional men. The liners leaving
today for Canada and the United States
have full compliments of cabin passen-
gers.
F., A further unprecedented rush to Eu-
rope on the part of wealthy Americans
and Canadians is expected next year. on
account of the coronation festivities. The
Atlantic steamship lines are already
making preparations to meet the demand.
Many Americans with means are now
engaging in advance suites of rooms and
apartments in London, and are making
inquiries for furnished mansion flats.
London will doubtless be hard pressed to
provide adequate accommodation for the
visitors.
Shipping for many years has been in a
very depressed condition, and people pos
seSsing shares In the passenger shipping
lines are rejoiced to know that this has
been such a good year of travel.

Regulation in Last Century.

Nature culture degenerated, and by the
middle Of the nineteenth century the els
teddfod had become a mere hobby. About
this time Sir Hugh Owen and his friends
undertook to revive and to regulate the
eisteddfod in such a way that the lam
guage, literature and music of Wales
should be fostered on a unitarian basis,
and thus enable Welshmen to turn native
culture to account in the solution OF So
cial and economic problems. The great
task was successfully organized, and it is
now carried on by the National Eistedd-
fod Association under the auspices OF the
Honorable Society of the Cymmrodorion,
with headquarters in London. 1t must
be remembered that each local Welsh Sun
day school and literary society practically
forms the nucleus Of district eiSteddfod,
which In its turn feeds the national as
sembly regulated by the proper authori-
ties.
In fact. this Is one of the principal
achievements of the centralizing of the
eisteddfod management. that no more
than one assembly claiming to be national
can be held in one year. Speaking of the
chief characteristic of the eisteddfod,
leading Welshman says: THE outstanding
points Of it's propaganda are the encour-
agement of Welsh literature, prose and
verse; but it's greatest achievements have
been wrought in regard to music. AS to
art, 1t has been practically failure. 1t

senting the rank and file of the Welsh

Record Called For.

. Commissioner Bryan called for the po-
lice record of the robbery. 1t was
brought before the commissioners.
1t was observed by Commissioner Bryan
that the dates of various other things
were not in rotation on the books. Chief
Goods explained that at that time the men
were busy with the firemen's convention
and reports were not entered up until
after the convention.
After considerable delay Mr.. Carter ap-
peared before the board to testify. He
said that, that having had the case in
vestigated as promptly as he thought it
should be, he wrote the letter to the
commissioners. That afternoon. he said.
Policeman Sampson came by and he call
ed him.
He claimed that he never saw Police
man Sampson that day until he passed
his place in the afternoon. So far as
witness knew, he said, Policeman Samp-
son did not come into his place of bust
ness to investigate the case.
Witness said the policeman remarked
Don't say anything and we will catch
him.

Commission Ordered by Elizabeth.

But the standard of Welsh poetry de-
clined and its golden age came to an end
with the eisteddfod at Caerwys in 1870.
But an important stage In the develop
ment of the great Welsh assembly was
reached when Queen Elizabeth issued
commission for the holding of an eistedd-
fod in the same place In the year 1868.
There is a quaintness in the phraseology
of Elizabeth's document on that occasion,
and even in our modern wording its
brusqueness Is quite apparent: 'Whereasit
10 come to the knowledge of the lord pres
ident and other OF our said council In our
marches Of Wales that Migrants and idle
persons. naming themselves mtnstrels,
rhymers and bards, are lately grown into
such an intolerable multitude within the
gentlemen and others by their shameless
disorders are oftentimes disquieting in
their habituations. But also the expert
Ministries and musicians thereby much
discouraged to travail in the practice of
their knowledge and not a little hindered
In their livings and preferments. There
fore we require and command You to
cause our proclamation" etc, etc.
Following the great reforming court
which the real commission summoned,
and In consequence of the increas-
ed vigilance which resulted, there
was certainly change for the bet
ter among the poetic body, but in
1894 there was a recrudescence of the
evils referred to, and, indeed, a petition
the gentry in north Wales craving for
the assembly of another eisteddfod. The
fortunes of the national festival were on
the down grade for many generations
after this period, and the place and date
Of its assembly were most irregular.

before due to the longer hours that the
