suggestions. A SUGGESTION which, we trust, may be taken to heart in the rigrt quarters and effectively acted upon, was mad by Mr. James Clarke at the last of this yei s Al Fresco Concerts the other evening. Itisc,that during the coming Winter months the musf cians of the town-orchestral as well as vocal 4-should institute a series of practises with a[view to catering for the public taste for light opera in the locality, which, un- questionably, a field worthy of exploitation. Mr. Clarke mentions as worthy of primary notice the inimitable jpperas of Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan which,plthough familiar as household words" in manf parts of the Kingdom, are by no means so widely popular as they should be at Llangollen, There might, of course, be diffi- culties in the way so far as rights of production are coucerned-r—that is if entertainments are given with to individual benefit-but these may dy overcome, given the necessary sp ake advantage of the sug- gestion whic iarke throws out. Several very strong J'e advanced for taking the matter in the present juncture. To begin with client orchestra has been organized i ■" "D and has already given performanc ry high order of merit—so meritorious ts to draw hearty words of cooimendt^ n high an authority as Sir Theodore • Ttie^couil'Iaatioa is com- posed of yo rmers, whose average age is sixteen ye' il of whom, individually and collective' )me to stay. As the son of one who, did more perhaps than any other musicML.<(■ the training of local instru- mentalists, Mjr. Frank Edwards has done excellent worfe in the face of very great diffi- culties; and it will be a thousand pities if steps are not taken tjo make adequate use of the ser- vices at his cojnmand. This is the view which Mr. Clarke tajkes, and it is a view very widely entertajned'KL'ben another forcible argument advanced is ^hat, at the present moment, enthusiasm fo? choral singing at Llangollen is at high-water j mark so to speak. The recent visit of the Rational Eisteddfod is, of course, very largely accountable for this; and it is equally certain that, unless some determined attempt be m.t.de to hold together the splendid choir that hss been organized-we write, of course, so tar ,;is the Llangollen section is con- cerned-it ml:t¡y soon become little more than a very pleasant memory. It may, of course, be quite impossible to secure the services of more than a portion of the choir; but a talented organizer nilgai readily make a selection of the vocalists best suited to fulfil the requirements of the type of operatic performer to which we have alluded. A certain amount ef histrionic and elocutionary abiliH is, of course, necessary in order to make any of Gilbert and Sullivan's operas" go" with the requisite "swing," but this is all procurable and might be readily trained in Llangollen and, in Mr. Clarke's opinion, sucfe training would mean a very valu- able educational experience for the young people of the town and district in directions in which ground has scarcely yet been broken. All this, of course, need not detract in any way from the cultivation of the higher forms of classical music or of those other depart- ments of combined singing in which Welsh choirs excel. In this connection, we are pleased to have the assurance that Mr. J. E. Morris, conductor of the Llangollen section of the National Eisteddfod Choir, is already con- templating the organjzatjOD of a combination to take part in the second choral competition at the London Eisteddfod next year. A chief feature in the operatic organization suggested must, of course, be the orchestra, and the fact that we have. in the local orchestra already formed, a combination that may form a most valuable aid to the organizers, is one for all-round congratu- lation. Mr. W. P. Williams, we note, has been speaking very singly in favour of the forma- tion of a Welsh National Orchestra; and un- questionably the indication of organizing ability such as that which drew together the very powerful band that performed so admirably at the National Eisteddfod and the evidences of local talent, of a very hIgh order, in various parts of the Principality, together with the fact that many of the leading performers in leading English orchestras come from Wales, lend force and cogency to bis suggestion. It has been custom- ary, in the Pa?,' decry any attempt to take action 00 these lines but,'as a musical authority points out, the two great Metropolitan orchestras number among their members several Welsh executan s, who are admittedly at the head of their respective branches, and who might well form the nucleus of a band that would easily develop into a national orchestra. A good many movements of considerable import- ance have, more or less, owed their inception to suggestions made at Llangollen and effective work in the direction Mr. Williams suggests might form a fitting coping-stone to the admir- able accomplishment of the Eisteddfod at Llan- gollen. Then a certain amount of discussion has taken place as to the most suitable object to which any financial surplus from this year's festival may be devoted, and a number of sugges- tions have been made--all more or less admirable in their way but all. of course, depending upon how the finances work out when the books are finally balanced, and this can only take place some months hence. Mr. Foulkes-Jones, it appears, favours assistance being given to those endeavouring to secure the erectiou of a suitable monument to the National hero, Owen Glyndwr, at Llangollen. In a speech at the Eisteddfod he expressed regret at the neglect that has hitherto been manifested in this direction, and. his idea of a shilling national subscription to remedy 'hat neglect is distinctly a good one and if the Eisteddfod Committee should find themselves with funds to spare they could devote them to no more worthy object than supplying the nucleus of y I such a fund. Tile site suggested for the statue is the open space at the junction of Bridge-street and Castle-street, facing the end of the Dee Bridge and everyone who crosses it from the station to the town. A prize was offered by the Art Section of the Eisteddfod for the beatdesiga for a memorial of this kind, and the one which was awarded the prize is in every way admirable and, worked out in bronze, would be a most imposing addition to the street architecture of the town and a most suitable reminder to future generations of a memorable festival. Mr. W. P. Williams has also a suggestion to make and it is that any surplus may be appropriately devoted to the payment of the amount still ow- ing for the musical instruments in the bands of the Town Band. This would certainly be a praiseworthy decision for the Committe to make, for it is by no means comfortable to reflect that, in a music loving community such as Llangollen, there is so great a difficulty in completing a fund of this kind. There is, and there will certainly be, considerable opposition to any proposals to hand over monies secured at the Eisteddfod to any object that is not allied to one or other of those purposes which the Eisteddfod is directly designed to foster—the uplifting of national ideals, the cultivation of music, literature and art, and the general mental improve- ment of the Welsh people. How this may be best achieved by a financial grant is a matter for very careful consideration and must depend to a great extent upon tne amount at the disposal of the Executive Committee when the balance sheet is finally completed.

Robert) reported that the finances of the society were not so flourishing this year as last, owing- to the very inclement weather prevailing on the day of the show. Although a very smail paknee would be in hand for next year's show to be held at Bala the finances were sufficient to pay the £ 268 in prizes. It was unanimously decided to pay the pnzis ic full without any deduction as had been arranged on the show field. Messrs.
