Royal Welsh National Eisteddfod. 1 COLWYN BAY FESTIVAL IN SEPTEMBER. | A .CROWDED AND INTERESTING WEEK. TWO VISITS BY MR. LLOYD GEORGE. Mr. T. R. Roberts (" Asaph I) the excellent General Secretary, has favoured us with an official advance copy of the National Eisteddfod programme, which shows that Colwyn Bay's "Eisteddfod week will be an exceedingly busy and interesting period. The Eisteddfod meetings will extend from September 13th to 17th inclusive, and the time- table included in the programme gives just the information required. THE OFFICIALS. The Eisteddfod, the first in the new reign, en- joys the patronage of the King and Queen, and the list of patrons includes a large number of distinguished names. Sir J. Herbert Roberts, M.P., is the President of the General Com- mittee, with County Councillor D. O. Williams as Vice-President. The large and representative Executive Committee has been most fortunate in its selection of Mr. James Amphlett, the worthy Town Clerk, as Chairman, and he has been ably supported by the scholarly Vicar of Prestatyn, the Rev. Meredith J. Hughes. The Hon. Treasurer is Mr. William Jones, of the City and Midland Bank, whose practical advice has proved of the greatest value. The Rev. W. Hughes, the Hon. General Secretary, was one of the earliest workers in the movement for bring- ing the Eisteddfod to Colwyn Bay, and has maintained his interest throughout. It would have been impossible to have selected a better General Secretary than Mr. T. R. Roberts, who combines Celtic enthusiasm and literary ability with exceptional business and organising abili- ties. All the various Sub-Committees have done their work well, as the programme amply proves, and here again there is evidence of wise choice of officials:—Literary Committee: Chairman, Rev. Canon Roberts Hon. Secretary, Mr. J. O. Davies. Music Committee: Chairman, Mr. S. Glynne Jones, B.A. Vice-Chairman, Mr. u. Trehearne Hon. Secretary, Mr. Llewelyn Davies. Arts and Science Committee: Chair- man, County Councillor David Lewis; Vice- Chairman, Mr. Edwin Griffiths; Hon. Secre- tary, Mr. William Jones, C.E. Joint Organisers of Arts Exhibition, Messrs. Edwin Griffiths and C. Ernest Elcock. Finance Committee Chair- man, Councillor George Bevan, J.P. Vice- .Chairman, County Councillor J. M. Porter; Hon. Secretary, Mr. Joseph H. Robetrs. Gor- sedd Committee Chairman, Rev. W. Evans- Jones c'Penllyn'') Vice-Chairman, Dr. Price Morris; Hon. Secretary, Mr. H. R. Parry (" Bwlchydd Mon "). General Purposes Com- mittee Chairman, Rev. Thomas Parry, J.P.; Vice-Chairman, Mr. David Gamble, J.P. Hon. Secretary, Mr. H. V. Doughty-Davies. The Eisteddfod choir has had the advantage of being trained by Mr. John Williams, who led his Carnarvon choir to such a brilliant triumph at the London National Eisteddfod of last year. There is evory reason to anticipate that the choir will prove fully worthy of the town and of the occasion. THE ACTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBITION. An effort to make the Aits and Crafts Exhibi- tion in connection with the Colwyn Bay Nation- al Eisteddiod one of the very finest ever held in the history of the national festival, bids fair to prove successful. Countess Dundonald will formally open the Exhibition at three o'clock on Friday afternoon of the present week, when it will be seen that the collection of Welsh industries and crafts, and of rare objects of art and antiquities, brought togetbei in the Infant's Schcol is one of remarkable interest and variety. The Exhibi- tion will be open daily until September 16th, and will no doubt prove very attractive. WELSH HEROES." On Monday, September 12th, the day prior to the Eisteddfodic sessions, the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion will hold a meeting, at 8 p.m., in the EngHsh Presbyterian chapel. The Hon. W. G. A. Ormsby-Gore, M.P., will preside, and an address on National Heroes and Memorials will be given by Major-General Sir Ivor Herbert, Bart., M.P. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th. The bards, in their picturesque costumes, and headed by the Venerable Archdruid Dyfed, will be early astir on the Tuesday morning, for at 8.15 they will form a procession and march to the Gorsedd circle in Rydal Mount field, Con- way-road. Here the usual quaint and symbolic rites and ceremonies will be performed by dis- tinguished members of the Bardic Circle, after which there will be a procession to the Eis- teddfod Pavilion in Dinglewood field. The first Eisteddfod meeting will commence at 10.30, and the Presidents will be the Hon. Laurence A. Brodrick and Sir Ivor Herbert, M.P. At this meeting the Ladies' Choir competition and the chief choral competition will be decided, and the programme will include many other interesting items. At 5 o'clock the annual meeting of the Welsh Bibliographical Society will be held in the Eng- lish Presbyterian chapel under the presidency of Sir John \illiams, Bart., K.C.V.O. (the late Queen Victoria's Welsh physician), and a papei will be contributed by Mr. John Ballinger, the librarian of the National Library of Wales. The first evening concert will be given in the Eisteddfod Pavilion at 6.30 p.m., when the Eis- teddfod choir of 250 voices will give a perform- ance of "Saul of Tarsus, by the late Dr. Joseph Parry. The Lord Bishop of St. Asaph will pre- side, and the artistes will include Miss Edith Evans, Mr. Lloyd Chandos and Mr. Ivor Foster. The choir will be conducted by Mr. John Wil- liams, and supported by an orchestra led by Mr. Horace Haselden, Rhyl, the organist being Mr. Bryan Warhurst. CROWNING OF THE BARD. There will be no Gorsedd ceremony on the Wednesday morning, but again an early start will be made, for at 9 a.m. the second meeting of the Honourable Society of Cym- mrodorion will be held in the English Presbyter- ian chapel, Sir Herbert Roberts will preside, and Mr. W. J. Evans, M.A., Abergele County School, will read a paper on "A Welsh Schools Em- ployment Bureau." The second Eisteddfod meeting will commence at 10.30, and the presidents will be Sir Herbert Roberts, Bart., M.P., and Sir Watkin Williams- Wynn, Ba.rt: Among the chief events at this meeting will be the orchestral competition, the crowning of the bard, and the second choral competition. The crown for the winning bard is the gift of Messrs. W. Jones and Sons, jewellers, Station-road. An interesting feature will be the proceedings of the Welsh Folk-Song Society. This organisa- tion, which is of comparatively recent date in its origin, has for its leading spirit the distinguished musician Mrs. Mary Davies, F.R.A.M., who jointly with Miss Amy Preece, performs the duties of hon. secretary. The society was formed for the purpose of collecting the folk- songs of Wales which are still unrecorded. A large number of such songs has already been got in. and many more are known to exist in remote parts of the Principality.

Recreation Ground for Trefriw Spa. Colonel M. K. North, M.I.C.E., Local Government Board inspector, has held a pub- lic inquiry at Terfriw touching the application of the parish council, through the Geirionydd Rural District Council, for powers to secure a loan of IC500 to provide a recreation ground for the spa. Mr. T. Hughes, clerk to the Geirionydd Council, submitted figures bearing upon the existing loans, while Mr. R. E. Thomas, clerk to the parish council, conducted the case on behalf of that authority. Mr. H. Pierce Evans, surveyor, submitted a report respecting the buildings and drainage on the ground it is proposed to purchase. The following also )supported the applica- tion:-The Rev. J. Gower (rector), Dr. Wil- liams, Messrs. C. Adamson (Chalybeate Wells), J. Smith (Hotel Belle Vue), R. T. Ellis, T. R. Williams, and Pennant Williams, Prestatyn. Mr. R. Roberts, Central Buildings, opposed the application on the ground that the loan would result in an increase in the local rates. The Rev. J. Gower retorted that if the in. spector knew Mr. Roberts as well as he did, he would take no notice of what he said. (Laughter). The inspector appeared satisfied with the evidence, and the inquiry terminated with the usual vote of thanks.

Mr. Samuel Evans, of Johannesburg, is now on a visit to his old home. He started his varied and almost romantic career in the print- ing office at Wrexham then he became a junior reporter at Carnarvon. Later on he was the favourite reporter of Mr. Mundella, M.P., on the staff of the Sheffield Telegraph. Since that time he has occupied important Government positions in Egypt, Persia, and Turkey, and be- fore and after the war he has been a prominent figure in South Africa. Indeed, it is said that during the preparations for war no one had better information than Mr. Evans about what the Boers were doing.

Ysgrifennir llawer y dyddiau hyn am y newydd a'r hen feirdd. f3ii,ii, mewn arwerthiant ym Mangor ddydd Mawrth, ac yn wir i chwi yr oeddwn yn gweled hen lyfrau yn .myned yn llawer uwch eu pns yno na rhai newydd, ac vr oedd gwell prisiau i'w cael yno am weithiau vr hen feirdd na'r beirdd newydd. Na ddi- galoned yr "hen feirdd" yr ymosodir cymaint arnynt. Yr oedd popeth hen yn yr arwerthiant hon a phris uchel arnynt, ac yr oedd rhai wedi dod yno o beliter mawr i geisio eu prynnu. Eiddo y diweddar Mr. Pritchard, fu am gyf- iiod maith yng ngwasanaeth Mri. Dew a'i Fab, a werthid, ac yr oedd yn amlwg ei fod wedi rhoi blynyddoedd i gasglu cynnifer o hen lyfrau, hen lestri, kc. Cafwyd prisiau uchel iawn yno. GALWAD Y BRENHIN. Nid eiddo dyn ei ffordd. Gwelais fod Canghellydd y Trysorlys wedi cael galwad i fod gyda'r Brenhin Sior am ddyddiau. Bydd dau lrenin gyda'u gilydd. Sior, brenin Lloegr, a "Sior, brenhin Cymru. Credaf fod calonnau miloedd yn llawenhau yn y ffaith fod y Cymro yn cael yr anrhydedd hon. Daw yn syth oddi- yno i Eisteddfod Colwyn Bay, a dichon y byddi gauddo genadwri oddiwrth y Brenin Sior y V. Gresyn na fuasai yn gallu ei berswadio i ddyfod gydag ef. Gwelaf fod y Canghellydd. i aros gydag Fsgob Llanelwy dros ddyddiau'r Eistedd- fod, inegis ac y bu o'r blaen yn amser Eistedd- fodau Rhyl a Llangollen. Pe buasai Dad- gysylltiad yr Eglwys yn cael ei ymddiried i'r ddau, credaf y buasent yn ei setlo mewn amser byr. Wn i ddim sut y teimla'r Canghellydd i gael ei alw oddiar ei wyliau. Peth cas ydyw torri ar "holidays" neb, ond, ar bob amgylch- iad, rhaid yw ufuddhau i orchymyn y Brenin. DROS Y DON. Gwelais heddyw yn y "Drvch" fod Mr. E. D. Lloyd, R.A.M., wedi cael ei benodi yn feirniad yn yr America y Nadolig nesaf, mewn Eisteddfod a gynhelir yn Granville. Dymunaf i'r cyfaill daith ddymunol a llwyddiant. Nid pawb sydd yn cael ei alw mor bell a hyn oddi- cartref i wasanaethu. Mae Elfed erbyn hyn wedi cyrraedd v Gorllewin pell, a sicr yw y ca y gwr anwyl groesaw mawr yno. LLANDUDNO. Bu'm yma ddydd Sadwrn, ac wrth wrando a sylwi tarawyd fi gan un peth yn neilltuol, a hynny ydoedd crintachrwydd rhai o'r ymwel- wyr. Gwelais rai yn syllu ar gampau yr adar, a phan ofynid iddynt roi ceiniog yn y casgliadt, yn gwrthod, ac nid oeddwn yn synnu at yr un oedd yn casglu yn edrych yn angharedig ar y cvfrvw. Os oedd y show yn werth. i aros ac edrych ami, yr oedd yn werth rhoddi rhyw help i'r perchennog i'w chario vmlaen. Yn yr hwyr bu'm yn gweled v Darluniau Byw ("Living Pictures") dan y Pafiliwn, a rhagorol iawn oeddynt. Yr oedd yno gynulliad lliosog yn mwynhau eu hunain fel finnau. Beied a feio, yr wyf yn hoff iawn o fyned i weled "Darluniau Byw. Byddaf yn ami yn cael cymorth i chwerthin yn iachus ynddynt. Mae swvn ynddynt i liaws, a chredaf eu bod yn gwneud lies. Mae gan y Brodyr Davies, o Gonwv, le i'w dangos yn Nghaergybi, ac yn gwneud hynny ddwywaitii bob-nos er's llawer o fisoedd, ac yn ol tystiolaeth un o wyr pwysicaf y dref maent yn foddion i gadw llu allan o'r tafarndai yno. CONWY. Cefais lythyr oddiyma yn gofyn am i mi wneud sylw o rai pethau. Gan nad ydyw yr awdwr wedi rhoddi i mi ei enw priodol, nis gallaf wneud defnydd o'r hyn a anfonodd. Nid wyf am ymadael a'r rheol hon. LLANRWST. Clywais fod dau o feirdd y dref wedi bod am daith ar y mor yn ddiweddar. Mae yn debyg fod y ddau yn clecian y gynghanedd tra yn rhodio y don. C'araswn fod gyda'r ddau gyfaill doniol a diiddan. Feallai y bydd i un o'r ddau vsgrifennu ychydig o hanes y daith. Os na wneir hynny, gadewch i ini gael englyn neu ddau. Mae pob un o honynt wedi cyfansoddi rhai ugeiniau o englynion cyn hyn, ac wedi ennill llawer gwobr. Y JUNCTION. Diolcli am yr addewid o ysgrif oddi yma. Mae llenorion y fro wedi bod yn ddistaw yn awr er's amser. Beth sydd wedi dod drostynt? Cofiaf yn dda am yr amser y byddai y lie hwn yn enwog am ohebwyr. Pa le y maent? Ai prysurdeb sydd yn cyfrif am eu distawrwydd, ynte diogi llenvddol? Mae yma ddigon o destynau. Pe byddai dyn yn aros yn y stesion yna am awr neu ddwy. gallai gael defnyddiau faint a fynir. Pe gwyddwn y cawn ganiatad gan Mr. Wynne, mi awn yno fy hunan. Prysur ofnadwy ydynt yno yn awr, fel ymhobman arall, a dyddorol ydyw gwrando a sylwi ar y pererinion sydd yn teithio trwy y lie yn ddydd- iol. Rhaid cael dynion o amynedd mawr a phen clir i allu ateb yr holl gwestiynau a roddir i swyddogion y gorsafoedd y dyddiau hyn. Gallaf gydymdeimlo yn rhwydd a hwy, a, chware teg, welais i yr un o honynt wedi gwylltio. Gwn y buasai llawer o rai eraill wedi gwneud, pe yn eu lie. Pan ystyriom y gofal a'r rvfrifoldeb sydd i allu trefnu yr holl drens, a chvnnifer o honynt sydd yn gwibio trwy y gor- safoedd yn y dyddiau prysur yma, byddaf yn rhyfeddu fod cyn lleied o ddamweiniau yn di- gwydd. Disgwvliaf yn hyderus am y llythyr addawedig o'r Junction. 1. LAN F AI RF E CHAN. Edmygaf waith y rhai sydd yn gwneud ym- drech mor lwyddiannus i roddi atalfa ar arfer iaith anweddus yma. Mae eisiau dangos i'r rhai svdd yn euog fod gan yr heddgeidwad awdurdod i'w cymeryd i fyny am hyn. Mae clywed merched yn tyngu a rhegi yn fwy gwarthus na chlywed dynion yn gwneud hynny. Wrth gwrs, nid ydyw yn fwy pechod i'r naill na'r Hall, ond yr ydym yn disgwyl yn amgen oddiwrth y merched. Peth hyll iawn ydyw clywed dynion yn gwneud, ond hyllach o lawer ydyw gwrando ar ferched, ac y rnae y rhai sydd yn euog yn isel eu parch yng ngolwg eu cym- dogion. LLWYDDIANT. Deallaf fod y cyngherddau a drefnir yma gan Mr. Llewelyn Jones, yr organydd, yn llwydd- iant. Gofala efe am dalentau disglaer i'w gvnnorthwyo, ac y mae yn haeddu pob cefnog- aeth. l'a le mae testynau Eisteddfod Gerizim? Dylent fod allan o'r wasg bellach, onide ni bydd fawr o amser i gyfansoddi.-Clywais fod Mr. Garth Thomas, mab y Parch. Keinion Thomas, yn gwasanaethu yn Gerizim y Sul diweddaf. Mae Garth a'i wyneb ar y maes cenadol. Yr oedd pobl Geriziin yn falch iawn o'i weled, a chael cyfle i wrando arno yn pregethu. Fel y gwvddis bu ei dad yn weinidog yma am gyfnod hir iawn cyn iddo symud i Porthdinorwig. PENMACTINO. Yr oedd yn dda gennyf weled fod nifer vr yrmvelwvr yn lliosog yma eleni. Nid oes dadl nad elai llawer mwy i'r lleoedd gwledig pe gwyddent mor gysurus ydyw ynddynt. Mae yn rhyfecld fod pobl o ganol dinasoedd prysur yn dewis lleoedd poblog o flaen ardaloedd tawel ac iachus sydd yn llechu yng nghanol mynydd- oedd Cymru. Mil gwell gennvf fi fuasai cael wythnos mewn lie tawel a neilltuedig, ond tvdi pawb o honom ddim yr un fath. NED LLWYD, "Weekly News" Office, Conwy.

Nodion Llywarch Hen I "Duw, cadw'n hanwyl wlad, Duw, cadw Gymru fad, Duw, cadw'n gwlad Rhag newyn a rhag plau, Rhag cledd a'i ddychrynfau, Rhag gormes a phob gwae, Duw, cadw'n gwlad. Ni phery bri na nerth, Cyfiawnder sydd o werth I godi gwlad, Os araf deg y daw, Pan ddel ni chilia draw, Duw, llwvada'n ffordd rhag llaw, Duw, cadw'n gwlad." ATHRO L MORRIS JONES, M.A. Darn o anthem genedlaethol newydd yw'r uchod, o waith yr Athro J. Morris Jones, M.A. Anthem wych ydyw, gref ei geiriau, a llawn o ddymuniadau calon hawddgar a da am fwyn- derau i Gymru. Dyddorol fydd gwilio ei llwyddiant. Hitiodd yr awdwr yr hoel ar ei phen wrth ganu ar alaw "Duw gadwo'r Brenin;" oherwydd y mae ystwythter yr alaw yn haner y ffordd i lwyddiant. Ddaed yw, prin y ca le "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau. Ni fedraf weled1 yr amgylchiadau a fo'n fantais i'w llwyddiant. Daeth "lIen Wlad fy Nhadau'' ar adeg geni'r cyfarfodydd llenvddol a'r cyngherdd- au, a llithrodd i fewn i'w bywvdr a llwyddodd yn ddistaw a sicr. Rhaid i ffrwyth athrylith wrth ei fantais a'i amgvlchoedd. Elfen ddyddorol yn hanes dynion yw oed. Rhed y wlad ar ol y ddawn ieuanc, nwyfus a hoew, fel awel v bore. Perchir henaint o achos addfedrwvdd y farn a'r profiad, beth bynag fo'r yni. C'wyd gwlad ar ei thraed i ddisgwyl a gobeithio yn ei llanciau, er fod y Diarhebion yn rhybuddio rhag byrbwylltra bachgendod. Y mae peth dyddordeb yn oedran aelodau Seneddol Cymru. Yr hogyn ym mhlith y gweision yw Mr. Orsmby Gore, yn ddim ond 25ain. Yn eu 3oain y mae'r ddeuwr, Mr. David Davies a Mr. Walter Roch. Y ma saith yr un oed, yn 47ain, sef Mri. Lloyd George, Syr Herbert Roberts, Sidney Robinson, Syr Owen Philips, McKenna, a Ilaydn Jones. Nid oes ond pump o'r fyddin Gymreig dros eu trugain. Dylent weithio'n ddi- fefl, canys gwyr ydvnt ym mhlodau eu dyddiau. Ni wnaeth neb erioed lawer o dda, heb orfod dioddef ohcrwydd hyny, Un prawf o uniondeb Cyllideb Lloyd George yw yr eiyniaeth ofnadwy a goledd y bobl oludog a phobl y cwrw ato ef ei hun. Aeth iLandrindod y dydd o'r blaen, i'r Gwalia, i ganol Saescn blonhegog. Gwilient ef yn dduoer, a sur yr olwg arnynt ni fedrent gadw eu Hid o fewn terfynau moesau da. Yn y gornel yr oedd dau Gvmro yn eu gwrando a'u gwilio. U11 a lleithter yn ei lygaid, a'i wefus yn llaes, yn gwrando ar eu brath eiriau haner rheg- lyd a'r Llal 1, yn fwy puritanaidd ei ysbryd, yn credu ddarfod i 'r nefoedd. ei godi yn un pwrpas i chwipio gioddestwyr segur, pobl sy'n byw i ddim ond i fwyta, yfed, a chwareu. l'wy wyr na ddaeth v Cymro i'r adwy i'n hatal ar Iwybrau balchter a goimod rhusedd. Gwelir duwch a mellt yn awr ac eilwaith yn awyr bro'r Eisteddfod. Nid. oes heddwch, er y bloeddio ar ddydd yr uchelwyl. Ysgrifenodd rhywun lith hynod ei sain i'r "Post," i ddangos y pethau blin a esgor yn y man ar ystorom. Ni wrendv neb ar ei ymadroddion. I galon y pwyllgorau a'r trefi, masnach, a dim ond mas- nach yxvlr Eisteddfod. Cysgu'n drwm wna Pwyllgor yr Orsedd chwareu cysgu, rhag gwrando. Ofnant i'r to ieuangc ddod i fewn, a throi'r hen, yn offeiriaid- ac archoffeiriaid, o'u swydd. Creaduriaid anhywaeth yw'r ebolion calonog hyn. Ni pharchant ffug enw, nid ym- grymant dan borth arholiad i'r Orsedd, a gwen- ant yn ddireidus ar ein holyniaeth farddonol. Gwawdiant bethau anwyl yr urdd mewn rhodiad, gwallt a gwyneb. Och feilchion hyf, rhodiant fel dynion, a sangant ein "relics" o dan eu traed. Clwb yw'r Eisteddfod, a cheidw'r rhai sy'n y gorlan y drws, rhag pawb ond eu caredigion. Parhau i losgi yn araf y mae'r tan cynen gyn- euodd y Parch. Edwin Jones, M.A., Caergybi, am benodi o'r Esgob Sais uniaith yn ben Coleg Hyfforddiadol, Bangor. Anhawster trafodaeth o'r fath yw, y cyfrifir y rhai a gymero ran ynddi yn ddefaid duon. Dafad ddu yn y gorlan Eg- Iwysig yw'r Parch. Edwin Jones ystyrir ef yn elyn yr Eglwvs. Ond Eglwyswr selog yw er hyny; heb ddafn o gydymdeimlad at Ymneilldu- aeth. Ni wiw i ungwr, yn yr un enwad, arfer ei farn a beirniadu arfer .ei bobl, o dan berygl cael ei gadw yn y briws am ei oes. Ond ca am- ddiffynwr ei enwad ei wobr yn ei ddyrchafiad. Gwaeth hyn yn yr Eglwys nag unman, am fod ei sectyddiaeth yn gryfach, a'r lleoedd da yn fwy yn ol gras un gwr, nag yn yr enwadau eraill. Doeth yw'r gwr a wnelo gyfeillion o bawb, a'r y Z711. gwr a fedro chwareu ei ddwylaw ar wifrau'r afalan aur. Caerdydd ynte Caernarfon? I Gymru y daw ein Tywysog i gael ei urdd, a chwareu teg iddo am guro gwddf yr hen genedl hi dynodd yn dda am oesau o dan y cerbyd brenhinol. Ond ym mha le ei gelwir yn "Tywysog Cymru?" Yng Nghaerdydd ynte yng Nghaernarfon? Croes ddadleua'r haneswyr am hawliau'r ddau hen gastell, a methant benderfynu pa un o'r ddau fu fwyaf hwylus i hen elynion ein gwlad. Gadawer i'r cestyll, noddfeydd ein caseion fuont. Ni cheir cymorth gan y beirdd. Y mae'r arch- dderwydd yng Ighaerdydd, a'r cofiadur yng Nghaernarfon, a'r gweddill o'r bobl gobanog yn selog dros eu llanerchau eu hunain. Clywais un yn setlo'r ymrafael yn ddilol, mai'r lie hwyl- usaf i gynal a bwydo'r bobl, biau'r hwyl. All! hwyrach mai cael llu o bobl i'r dref, ac o fawr- ion cyfoethog, yw'r peth penai yn yr holl dwrw. Os felly, Caernarfon ddylai gael y cyfle, oher- wydd hi yw'r leiaf ei mnnteision i hel cvfoeth. C; weithio'n-ddyfal y mae ysgrifbinwyr y Ddir- prwyaeth Eglwysig. Ni dderfydd y son am hon o'r tir yn fuan ond cofir yn hir am ei hym- lusgo araf, ei thywydd blin, a chas bethau eraill. Codir y lien anibell dro fel y clywo'r wlad ei nanadl drom, ac fel v deallont ei bod yn fyw. Sibrydodd rhywun heibio'r wahanlen mai'r enwad lliosocaf yng Xghymru yw'r Eglw's. A thyna swn y cadrodau Eglwysig ar unwaith yn gwisgo eu harlau i frwydr. Ni welaf gysgou crawen yn hyn. Pe'r Eglwvs yn lliosocach na'r holl enwadau, yn ol dull y byd o farnu pethau, buasai rhyw reswm dros y bloeddio i'r gad. Ni buasai hyny yn newid egwyddor hanfodol yr ym- rafael, nac yn unioni'r cam o orfodi enwadau Cymru i gynnal cnfydd na chredant ynddi. A pha gyiiawnder sy' mewn llywodraeth a noddo grcfydd un ran o'i deiliaid, gan boeri i wyneb y gweddill oherwydd eu barn a'u cydwybod grefyddol? Ani gvfiawnder v mae'r i'efain. Daeth Mrs. Pankhurst i ddinasoedd Arfon i oleuo'r bobl am ^amarwain Mr. Lloyd George iir gwestiwn poeth y lilcidlais i Eerched. "Nid vw cyfangorff merched y wlad yn galw am bleid- lais," meddai Mr. Lloyd George. "'Ydynt, O ydynt, gwarchod pawb, ydynt! ebrai Mrs. 1) 1 1 Pankhurst. Ymbwylled y chwiorydd hyn i farnu'n deg, ac fel y medront ddeall maint eu rhif. Arwres ei hachos yw Mrs. Pankhurst, a chred fod pob chwa a chwerthin yn ddarn o'i lwyddiant. Nid oes ond nifer fechan, fechan, o'n chwiorydd yn meddwl am hwyl y bleidlais, a llai fyth yn ei hawlio. Yn 61 y chwaer hon, cwyd Mr. Lloyd George mewn gwrthryfel yn erbyn pawb a phob parti a saif ar ei ffordd i gael ei amcanion ei hun i ben. Nid ydynt hwy ond dilyn ei esiampl ef. Os mater o gael ei ffordd ei hun yw hi, gwyr pawb fod Mr Lloyd George yn un o'r rhai mwyaf deheuig i gael gan ddynion feddwl fel efe.

St. Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District Council. LLANDDULAS WATER. The monthly meeting of the above Council was held on Friday. Mr. J. D. Jones presided. LLANDDULAS SEWAGE AND WATER The Surveyor (Mr. Evans) presented a report as to the proposed new sewerage system for Llanddulas, which he estimated would cost about ^1,900. •• A long discussion arose on this and the de- ficient water supply. One of the members suggested that the trouble was the water supply, and it was most likely that this trouble in the future would grow more and more pronounced. They would have to have water, and, in his opinion, although he had no authority to speak against the scheme, the sewage scheme should stand aisde until the question of the water supply had been settled. The question of the alleged shortage of water at Llanddulas was next discussed, and a reply was read from Mr. Hall, of Rhyl, to the effect that the shortage of water was probably due to leakages in their own district. It was evident that their own system was at fault, so that under the circumstances the strong remarks made at the last meeting were not warranted. They had not taken steps to either cleanse the pipe or to fix one of the right diameter in its place Mr. John Roberts said that too many branches to the pipe was the cause of the shortage. It was suggested that a letter should be sent to the Parish Council asking them to fix a new pipe or get another scheme. A Member You might as well talk to the wall as talk to the Rhyl Council, that is my experience of them. The Chairman said that when they wrote about the matter the supply of water was forth- coming. How was it that that was not always the case? It was also stated during the discussion that it was a peculiar feature that the supply was all right at certain times, but not at others. The Clerk pointed out that the Council replied that that was due to the smallness of the pipe. They should also bear in mind that there was a very heavy drain upon the supply, and in the case of Rhyl the streets were being watered in the daytime. If they had regular pressure they would have the water, but they were not given the regular pressure required. It was decided to write to the Rhyl Council asking for an explanation as to the bad supply of water at Llanddulas, and a report on a pro- posed sewerage scheme was referred to Llan- ddulas Parish Council. GOOD HEALTH. Dr. Lloyd Roberts said he was pleased to state that he had no report to lay before the Council. The district was free from notifiable diseases. (Hear, hear\. ROAD nlPROVEIEXTS. On the Road Development Board's circular, the Clerk pointed out that the road from Llan. fair to Llansannan was one that should be taken in hand. He suggested that there should be ioint action with the County Council, as any scheme put forward by the county would have more chance of getting through. The Chairman suggested that it would be a very good thing if main roads which at present passed through villages could be diverted to the outskirts. That would save dust and be less dangerous. Mr. Bennett Jones did not think there was any time to lose. They should get to work at once, or they would be left behind. He pro- posed that the Surveyors prepare a report for the next meeting of the roads which they con- sidered should be dealt with, due regard1 being paid to those places which require widening, sharp corners removed, steep gradients reduced, and new roads made. Mr. R. Davies seconded, and it was carried. LLANSANNAN WATER. It was reported that the Parish Council of Llansannan had considered two schemes for water supply, and having adopted one, the Sur- veyor was directed to prepare the necessary de- tails for carrying out the same. Other routine business included the considera- tion of a communication from the Denbighshire County Council with regard to motor traffic on the district road near Abergele, and well as at bridge at Gell. Letters were also read from the Bylchau Parish Council with reference to the following ii,,ttlers :-(,-) The necessity of a plot at Rhydgaled (b) the widening of a road at Rhydgaled (C) the insufficiency of water supply at Pentreb-ich. A third communication was also submitted from the Denbighshire County Council with re- spect to the maining of the road between Rhudd- lan and Abergele, as well as in respect of con- tributing towards the maintenance of the Llan- sannan road. Plans were also considered for the erection of a bridge at. Crugor Issa, Llan- sannan, and the committee's report with refer- ence to the defective arch of Plas Llwyd Bridge was also received.

The annual meeting of the society will be held at 5.15 p.m., in St. 'Paul's Church Room, Rhiw- road. After the business part of the meeting addresses wiil be delivered, and vocal illustra- tions of the most recently discovered folk-songs will be given by members of the society and others. Illustrations of the kind were given by Mrs. Davies at the Liverpool Royal Institution not very long ago, and a more charming musical treat was neve' arranged by the Liverpool Welsh National Society, under whose auspices the meeting was held. At Wednesday's Eisteddfod meeting the award will be announced for the best collection of unpublished NVelsh folk-songs, the prizes for which are being given by Sir W. H. Preece, K.C.B., and Sir Harry Reichel, M.A., LL.D. At the second concert, commencing at 6.30, the chair will be taken by Mr. Walter White- head, J.P., who has in many ways proved such a good friend to this year's Eisteddfod. The programme will include three performances by the choir-" A Psalm of Life" (Dr. David Jenkins), Welsh Rhapsodty (Edward Ger- man) and Blest Pair of Sirens" (Sir Hubert Parry). Among the articles will be Miss l'ercival Allen, Madame Edna Thornton, and Mr. David Evans. CHAIRING OF THE BARD. CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER'S VISIT. Thursday morning will witness another bardic procession from the Town Hall at 8.15 and the Gorsedd ritual in Rydal Mount field, followed by a procession to the Eisteddfod Pavilion. The third Eisteddfod session will begin at 10.30, the Presidents being Mr. R. A. Yer- burgh, M.P., and the Right Hon. D. Lloyd George, M.P. Prominent features of the meet- ing will be the juvenile choral competition and the ancient and stirring ceremony of chairing the successful bard. The bardic chair, designed by Messrs. J. M. Porter and Elcock free of charge, is the gift of Messrs. D. Allen and Sons, Station-road, and made by them at their own works. At five o'clock, in the English Congregational Chapel, will be held the usual joint meeting of the Gorsedd and National Eisteddfod Associa- tion, at which the applications for the Eistedd- fod of 1912 will be considered. Bangor and Wrexham are rivals for the honour, whilst Aber- gavenny d?s;res the honour for 1913. Mr. Fred H. Smith, of Queen's Lodge, will preside at the third evening concert, commenc- ing at 6.30, and the choir will give a perform- ance of Handel's Messiah." The artistes will include Miss Perceval Allen, Miss Dilys Jones, Mr. Ben Davies and Mr. David Hughes. MALE VOICE COMPETITION. There will be a bardic procession at 8.15 and Gorsedd ceremony at 8.30 on the morning of Friday, and a feature of the Eisteddfod session will be the competition for male voice choirs- always an exciting contest. The Presidents will be Sir J. Prichard Jones, Bart., and the Right Hon. Lord Mostyn. At the fourth concert, under the Presidency of Mr. James Amphlett, a miscellaneous pro- gramme will be contributed by Madame Ada Crossley, Madame Laura Evans-Williams, Mr. Gwilym Wigley, Mr. James Coleman, Eos Dar, Miss Bessie Jones I" Telynores Gwalia '') and the successful male voice choir, the accompan- list being Mr. D. D. Parry, of Llanrwst. It is more than probable that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will pay a second visit to the Eisteddfod on Friday. BRASS BANDS. Oil Saturday (the fifth and concluding day) the quick-step competition will take place at noon, and the brass band contest at one o'clock, the President being Mr. David Gamble, J.P., of St. Helens and Colwyn Bay. The fifth evening concert will be presided over by Dr. A. Emrys Jones, J.P., of Manchester, and the artistes will include Miss Amy Evans (" the Welsh Patti "), Miss Dilys Jones, Mr. James Sauvage (the great Cambro-American vocalist), Miss Bessie Jones, Eos Dar and Deiniol Fychan, assisted by the Eisteddfod choir, the accompanists being Miss Nellie A. Roberts and Miss Gwendoline Roberts, Colwyn Bay. The Eisteddfod and concert proceedings will be directed by Mr. William Abraham (Mabon), M.P., I,le-.v TegiJ and l,lifon, with Mr. Llew W ynne as stage manager. Many other features might be mentioned in connection with what is evidently destined to be an epoch-making Eisteddfod. For the pre- sent it only remains to add that the following are the prices of admission:—Reserved chairs, single meeting or concert, 5s. season tickets, to admit tc four Eisteddfod meetings and the first four concerts (trasferable, and entitling holders to special tickets to pass in and out of the grounds), 30s. reserved seats, un-numbered (non-transferrable), season tickets to admit to four Eisteddfod meetings and the first four con- certs), 2os. singie meeting or concert, first class, 3s. second class, 2S.; third class, is. band contest on Saturday morning, is. and 2S.
