VISIT OF BLIND MUSICIANS.—We take the opportunity of reminding our readers and the public generally of the grand concert to be given at the St. David's Paiish Hall cn Wednesday evening next, by the Blind Musicians- The programme to be submitted is of a most enter- taining character, and in view of the fact that the proceeds are to be applied to that most deserving in- stitution,' the St. Dunstan Hostel for Blinded Soldiers, there should be a crowded audience.

By this achievement the local choristers wiped off the de- feat, a fluky one which the party sustained at Pontypool Easter Eis- teddfod. The rendering by the win- ner& on Tuesday last was quite a thrilling one and it is a noteworthy fact that Blaenavon and GarndiffaJth were bracketed with as equal seconds in the competition.
