Notes and News. The chief choral contest at Colwyn Bay will be confined to two English choirs and one Welsh one. Aberystwyth is one of the busiest Welsh seaside towns this summer. The number of visitors there is unusually numerous. The contingent of Welsh bardic represen- tatives that went to Brittany last week end was well chosen from among our leading writers and singers. These Celtic fetes appear to be very popular in the land across the Channel. Welsh education is severely criticised in the report just issued from the Education Department, and we hope that the Central Welsh Board will benefit by the advice given. The Welsh National Library at Aber- ystwyth has already secured most of the rare old Welsh MSS, and a proposal is on foot to publish portions of those that are considered of most value to the historians of our nation. The biographical sketch of Hugh Hughes, the famous Welsh artist, that was published in the last issue of the Trciethodydd, is one of the best that has yet appeared on this much neglected son of Wales. It specially appeals to London Welshmen, inasmuch as Mr. Hughes was at one period a member of old Jewin Welsh church. Mr. James Sauvage, the Welsh baritone from America, will be returning to America before the end of September. He will be taking part at the National Eisteddfod in Colwyn Bay, as well as at several concerts within the Principality during September. Sir J. Prichard-Jones, Bart., invited all the assistants at his establishment to a sumptuous banquet at the Trocadero, the other evening, in order to celebrate the honour conferred upon him by the King. Mr. Stephen Gwynn, M.P., in the course of an interesting article in the Daily Mail, pays a compliment to Mr. Lloyd George's attractiveness as a speaker and to his great shrewdness as a debater. Mr. William Jones and Mabon are the two other best Welsh M.P.'s, in the opinion of Mr. Gwynn, who is an Irish Nationalist. The following quaint epitaph is to be seen on a blacksmith's gravestone in St. Michael's churchyard at Aberystwyth. It attracts many curious visitors My sledge and hammer lie reclined, My bellows, too, has lost its wind My fire's extinct, my forge decayed, And in the dust my vice is laid My coal is spent, my iron's gone, My nails are drove-my work is done. The Finsbury Borough Council have granted a contract for ten years to the Gas Light & Coke Company for the lighting of all their streets by new inverted burner lamps, which will show an increase in total illuminating power of 100,000 candle power over the existing system of lighting, but with a reduction in cost of £ 525 a year. This decision was taken after the latest examples of gas and electric lighting had been carefully inspected and relative costs considered. There is a movement on foot to establish and provide for a Cottage Hospital at Fes- tiniog, and for this purpose a sum of about £ 7,000 will be required. Of the 1900,000 grant to be made by the Government towards agricultural develop- ment, it is expected that Wales will benefit to the extent of about £ 50,000. It is pro- bable that, for the administration of the grant, a Welsh agricultural committee will be established, composed of members of the county councils. A correspondent writes — The lines quoted by Mr. Matthew Keating, M.P., in his lecture at Woolwich, and reported in the CELT of last week—' Breaths there a man with soul so dead, &c.'—were not written by Campbell, the great Scotch poet,' but by Sir Walter Scott, in the opening words of the Sixth Canto of The Lay of the Last Minstrel. The Rev. H. E. Williams, who has (by exchange) become vicar of Emmanuel Church, Holloway, is a London Welshman, and although he has spent most of his days in English parishes, he has not forgotten his native tongue and is fervent in his Welsh sympathies. Mr. Williams will now have ample opportunities to enjoy the fellowship of his countrymen, seeing that the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel of Sussex Road and the Welsh Church of Padarn Sant are situated in the parish of Emmanuel. We understand that Mr Williams will be in- ducted on the 13th of this month. We wish him every success in his new sphere.
