THE WELSH ELSTEDDEOD

The National Eisteddfod OF Wales, celebrated
every autumn, is one OF the most picturesque fes

Gentlewoman remarks especially on the growing
part taken by women.
Last year when the Gorsedd, or meeting to
proclaim the bards, held in Kensington Gar
dens in the early morning looked better
than Lady st. Davids in her sken robes Of EN-

Maitland. whose grace and charm one longs to
see added to the Grecian folds Of an Ovate's
robes
And now a word on the Gorsedd ITSELF On
the Logan Stone the Arch. Druid Dyfed was at

others in blue. and the Ovates in green. The

Arch-Druid. "A bes Heddwchi" to which all pres

After each shout of "Heddwchi" the sword
was sheathed and the draught Of mead from the
"Hirlas' horn was drunk by the Arch-Druid Then
followed the initiation Of new members into the
Gorsedd and short Englynion (alliteratve stan.

bell chamber. The walls of the outer shaft are 81
feet thick and the inclined plane is lit by sc wiI
dows. In the tower the shafts are bound tc
gether by iron rods and the pilasters at the angle
of the inner shaft similarly united. This wi

Careful searching among the ruins Of the old can
panile resulted in the finding OF nearly all the fras
ments of the beautiful bronze doors statues and
reliefs Of Sansovno's famous loggetta which ha
been restored with wonderful and devotion
The estimated cost of the present tower Is owe
100000 francs this sum having been raised by put
lie subscription and large grant from the state.
When the tower fell. of the five bells only the
largest was not broken; the other four have been
replaced and were presented to his beloved Ven
ice by Pope Plus X. The lions of St Mark which
originally occupied the centers of the north and
south sides Of the attic and were defaced during
the French occupation. are to be replaced.
The tower has strangely hard and new ap
pearance against the soft time-meowed facade
OF the church Of st. Mark with its wild horses
and curious oriental-looking domes. and seems al
most as incongruous as the large steamboats, and
motor launches which have now challenged the
supremacy Of the graceful gondola Venetian
waterways. The Venetans were, however, wise
to rebuild the campanile for the long, low lines
OF the surrounding palaces need this skypiercing
shaft to complete the effect even London needs
the dome Of St. Paus to lift its sombre roofs in
upward effort.
The bells OF the old campanile were shattered
by the fall Of the tower. but they have now,
stated above been replaced by the generosity OF
the present pope. They were cast st. Marks
day. April 25, and will again be soemnly rung
from the tower on st. Marks day of next year.
