PKESTATYN *E1STKDDF0D. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL FESTIVAL. The eisteddfod at Prestatyn at Whitsuntide ? now looked upon a-s an established event, an<l Monday's gathering was a success' both as gards attendance and the quality of the competi- tions. Thero was only one feature winch was next of a satisfactory character, and it is not likely that the oommittee will attempt it again. This" was the brase band competition. Al- though the prizes offered were substantial m am ount, only two bands entered, and one of failed to put in an appearance. This was disappointing to tho promoters. The pcor en- irv was no doubt due to the fact that most bands are engaged on Whit-Monday. The eisteddiod was held in the Town Hall, and the proooedinga were carried out by an encrgetic committee, of which tho Rev Jien Williams was president, Mr J. M. Hughes vice- president, Mr G. O. Williams treasurer, and Messrs R. Hughes and E. Trevor Roberts «c- /•etariecs. The adjudicators were: Music, Mr E, D. Lloyd, R.A.M.; brass bands, Mr A. Tiffany, L.C.M.. T.C.L. recitation, "Deiniol Fychau" (who with "Huwco Penmaen" acted as conductor); essays and translations, Rev. Rhys J. lluws. Bethesda; art, Messrs T. Jonee. R. E. Williams, and Gilbert Smith. Needle- work, Mrs J. L. Jones, and Mrs T. Jones, Mr G. W. Jones was the accompanist. Tho eis- tcddfol was held under the patronage of Lady Mostyn, of Talacre, Sir Chas. and Lady Mc- Laren, Mr M. A. ltalli, J.P-, and Mr J. Her- bert Lewis, M.P. The chair at the first meeting was occupied by Mr Ellis Roberts, who in the course of his remarks wished success to the eisteddfod at Prestatyn, and congratulated the committee on their enterprise. The festival, he said, did a great deal for Prestatyn, as it brought a large number of visitors to the place, and it did more tha.n that for a wider circle, as it en- couraged many of the young people to study music and literature, bringing out latent talent. From what he had heard he was able to say that each generation seemed to be improving in music and1 literature, amd in the long run gatherings of that kind were bound to make tiieir influence for good felt on the people. THE RESULTS. The result of the competitions ware as fol- lows :— Pianoforte playing for children under 16 years of age: Three were selected to appear on the platform, and of the^e two gave very line ren- derings, the winner, Mise Jennie Taylor, of Shotton, being highly complimented by the ad- judicator on her good touch, He said that she showed evidence of careful training, and lior expression throughout was excellent. He re- gretted, however, that the committee had jer- mitted tiie competitors to select their own pieces. The winner of the translation of "The Pt" was Mr J. Simpson, of Prestatyn, who had sent in a very fair piece, but the adjudicator did not speak very highly of any of the compet- ing samples. There were aeven competitors for the juvenile recitation, and tthe first prize was won by Miss Mav I']vans, of 19, Park-road, Widnes, who gave "The Burial of Sir John Moore" in ex- cellent 6tyle. The second prize went to Mas- ter 11. IT Jones, 3, River View, Llandudno Junction, for a Welsh rendering of "The Auc- tioneer" The entries for the needlework were not numerous, and Mi-s and Miss Littler of Wel- lington-road, Rhyl, took all the prizes for neat work. Out of eight competitors in the juvenile solo competition, the prize was won by a well-known winner at those goth-arln gs-Mazter T. H. Jones, Abbey-street, Rhyl. In giving this adjudications on the maps of Flintshire, Mr Gilbert Smith spoke very highly of the work of the competitors, remarking that they were admirably executed, and that there was "a. mass of intricate detail which had been worked out most success fully." He awarded the first prize to Master Thomas Ca.radoc Wil- liams (pupil of Mr G. W. Jonea, Prestatyn Council School), and the next in order of merit wa.s "Idris," whose nanio did not transpire- Several well-made holly sticks were sent in for competition, but the majority of them lack- ed finish, and the prize was awarGted to that sent in by Mr Edward Morris, Dyserth, but there was n°t sufficient merit in the cak carved frame competitions to justify the awarding of the prize In dealing with the tenor solos, "Holy Man of Sorrows," the adjudicator remarked that neither of the competitors oould be das.ed as "a tenor, for they were all baritones. The winner was Mr T. Morris, Brymbo- The Prestatyn Glee Party, conducted by Mr Alun Davies, was the only one to appea.r on the platform, but they sa,ng exceedingly well. The adjudicator said it was many years since he had the notes of the piece sang so cor- reotly, and he awarded them the-prize. The Llanddulas Brass Band was the only one that competed for the prizes offered for a nwrcli and "Songs of the Sea. The band was conducted by Mr David Jones, and the ad- judicator spoke very well of their playing- He said, "The band was in good cmiter; the ac- companiments were well done, and they have given a smart and tunefid rendering." He awarded them the prizes. THE EVENING MEETING. At the evening meeting there was a large and enthusiastic gathering, over which Mr II. D. Hughes presided. In his address, the President said the promoters of the eisteddfod were de- serving of the highest praise, as they had ('.one much to facilitate young people in taking part in competitions which were bound to help them. It gave the youth of the country something other than football to take an interest in. He was pleased to see tha-t not OlllY was the num- ber of the competitors increasing in the Eistedd- fod, but that a much higher stand- ard was being attained. He also be- lieve the eisteddfod was the means of making Prestatyn much better known in the outside districts. In the cornet solo competition Mr David Jones, of tho Llanddulas Brass Band, won the prize. Miss Kate Simpson, Denbigh, waa the suc- cessful competitor in the pianoforte competition, and the adjudicator remarked that her playing was a credit to the Eisteddfod. Mes Littler, lthyl, was again successful in taking the prizes for needlework. The prize in the competition for the transla- tion from Welsh to English went to "Davy Da. vies." There were nine entries for the baritone solo, "Llewelyn's Valley," and after a good competi- tion the prize was awarded to Mr Frank Nichol- son, Gwespyr. In the challenge recitation, for wTioh a silver cup was offered, there were 36 competitors, and the winner was Miss Jones, Seafortii, who re- cited "Wolsey's Farewell." Mi3S Edwards, Gran ant, was again successful in the soprano solo, "Queen of the Soa. The duet competition on "The Two MmstreJa was won by Mr Tom Morris, Brymbo, and Mr R. Roberts, Halkyn. „ There were 26 entries for the challenge solo, the prize being a silver cup, which was won by Mr Frank-Nicholson, Gwespyr. Six parties competed for the male voice prize, andithe winners were the Denbigh Male Voice CSioir, who sang exceedingly well.

Herbert Roberts, M P-, presided at the afternoon nueeting. In the course of his ad- dress, he said that the honour had f all-eii to that county this year to have tho National Eistedd- fod at Llangollen, and he desired again to em- phasise the desirability of Jinking Togctr more effectively than was ilow the case tne work ot tho National Eisteddfod aiid the work of local meetings of the same character. Why should it not be possible for the National Eisteddfod Com- mittee to draw up a systematic scheme of work in the spr.ere of ilteratlir-D and of music, which COldd bo carried out over a scries of years by the local o.s'ed-dfcdau throughout the country The object of such an arrangement would be to secure concent ration of thought and effort upon the literary works of their nation which were well worthy of careful stticy, aikct many of which, lie feared, were fast vanishing from the memory of Walen. In similar manner, with regard to music, would it not be a distinct advantage that the works of a certain number of coin- pasers should year by year bo studied through the modium of the ntumerous local eisteddfodau held throughout the Principality ? In this way it would b-' jHjssible in a certain period to edu- cate the people in what waa best in the musical compositions not only of their own land but of foreign countries as well. lie was convinced that by the adoption of some such, arrangement it would be possible to make the National Eis- teddfod a. still more potent msirument for the promotion of literature and niiMic. In conclusion, he urged the importance of con- tinuing to read Welsh literature. The Lct that the Engiush language was progr-essing in var- ious districts in WaJecs, and uhat their educa- tional environment was now entirely different from what it was fifty yearn ago was no reason why they should no gleet the writings of their own oountrymen- He had lately read with much pleasure a book by a gifted writer en- tided" Y Ffenestri Aur," which was a series of meditations upon those things which werecomely and of good report in Welsh literature. He urged them to cultivate that spirit of reverence for their best literature whiab. would enable them to read its true message, and in this way they would be able to look out upon the future through the golden windows of the past.

ATHLETIC SPORTS AT PWLLHELI. The Athletic. Sports and Cycle Races, held at the Recreation Grounds. Pwllheli, on Whit- Monday, attracted a good number of spectators. Messrs Solomon Andrewes and Son went to the expense of engaging- a balloonist and parachutist, who no doubt drew a good many people intent. upon witness- ing the aeronautical display. The balloon was inflated gradually while the various athletic and cycle events were proceeding. Unfortun- ately, a strong wind arose, and as the balloon spread out it became a most di fficult task to keep it under restraint. In the efforts to keep it under control, the silk split, and consequently it was impossible to make an ascent that day. The Deulyn Brass Band were in attendance, I and played lively and popular airs during the progress of the events. The officials for the day were: Judges: ('apt. Evan Jones, Dr. Shelton Jones, Mr W. S. Williams, and the Rev. J. Ed- wards; timekeeper: Mr Ben Evans; stewards: Messrs K Watkin and J. Ravenhill; secretary, Mr Fred E. Young. THE EVENTS. 100 Yards' Fiat. Race: 1, A. E. Pughe; 2, J.
