he!d here the first ai March is at
tracing considerable interest, not
the United States, rs tho secretary
reports that ne has had requests for
Programs from points in New York,
Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wiscon
sin and Montana. This wide spread
interest in the Lake Crystal Eistedd
Tod will soon give this little city q
nation wide fame and be the means
the only place in the middle west
where the Eisteddfo6 is held sue
cessfully every year. Two OF the
pieces, "Y Chwarelwr' and Mott"
iOr contesting have been chosen from
lho program Of the Royal National
histeddfod of Wales held at Carnar
Won. 1t is certain when such pieces
have been chosen for a National Els
teddfod that there is an unlimited
range to them and the contestants
have an excellent chance to show
their ability. In printing the "Y
Chwal elwr" the secretary states that
the last word in the tenth verse
Ehould have read 'raff" instead OF
graf as printed. The committee
haze found since the programs Were
printed that the selection for Duet
print and they are unable to secure
copies so have had to substitute
Come Gracious Spirit, by D. o.
Evans" instead. There are a few
copies of Laughing Brooklings" on
hand and any one desiring to secure
q copy for competition may do so by
communicating with Mrs. Stanley
