ROYAL WELSH SINGERS TO
GIVE ENTERTAINMENT HERE

The fame Of Welsh choral singing
became worldwide, when in 1872 4
mixed choir, consisting mainly of
Welsh village folk, under the leader
ship of Caradog Griffith Rhys
Jones), won the Crystal Palace Com
pany's $500 challenge trophy and a
cash prize of $500. This fame was
enhanced in the following year, when
the same choir, under the same leader,
again won the trophy, beating til
London choir, known then as the Par
is Prize choir, under the leadership
Of Mr.. Proudman. The sons of the
p%rincipality have ever since main
tanned the fame and ever enhanced
the standard established and set by
the Crystal Palace victories.
Of all the Welsh musical organiza-
tons, the Royal event Welsh Sing
ers has been the first and foremost,
not only to maintain the fame, but to
set a standard to Welsh or any other
choral singing that has never yet
been excelled.
The visits of the Royal Gwent
Welsh Singers to America is by no
means a new venture. Indeed, it is
now a matter of history. Americans
were first thrilled by these singers
from the land of sons as early as
1898, when two Welsh choruses from
Wales won first prizes at the Worlds
Fair, Chicago. The Royal Welsh
Gwent Singers Standard sing-be-
fore the world today as the unsur-
passed organization of it's kind, and,
incidentally, as the standard bearer
through all lands of the superiority
Of the Welsh nation as a nation of
singers. 1t would be a difficult task,
indeed, to analyze this fact, but it
can be realized more easily by at
tending their concert in the Elks'
auditorium, Dickinson, Tuesday even

FINE SHOWING Of
NEW AUTOMOBILES

Since the first of the year the
Berringer & Petricka Auto Co. have
received several carload shipments Of
1916 automobiles. The firm has taken
the general agency for the Jackson
cars in southwestern North Dakota,
and just as soon as the roads get a
little better they will be out to make
contracts with parties who have al
ready made application for territory.
The Jackson people are putting out
both four and eight-cylinder cars
that are meeting a popular demand
among auto buyers, and it is not at
all improbable that the Dickinson
distributors will handle 100 cars of
this make during the present year.
Berringer & Petricka will also handle
la large number of Dodge cars this
year, their first consignments being
due very % They also have a
new Chalmers Six high speed car on

Neither Burleigh county and Bis

bridge and funds will be raised in

New York to Spokane.
The Pioneer Press of Sunday says:
With the completion Of the bridge
at Medora, N. d., across the Little
Missouri river, the next efforts of the
National Parks Transcontinental
Highway association promoters in
this part of the country are to be
devoted to a $250,0O0 campaign for
a bridge across the Missouri river be-
tween Bismarck and Mandan, N. D.
This is the last unbridged crossing
on the entire highway from New
York city through Rochester, Buffalo,
Cleveland, South Bend, Chicago, Mil
waukee, La Crosse and St. Paul to
Seattle by way Of St. Cloud, Moor
head, Fargo, Glcndivc, Livingston,
Butte, Missoula and Spokane.
"The country from Fallon, Mont,
to Fargo has borne the expense of
building the $1,000 bridge IT Me-
dora,' said George n. Remission of
Beach, a travelling representative of
the highway association, who was in
St. Paul last week.
