Analyst'sReport The Laboratory, <9, Dock Street, Newport, Mon., September ISttt, 1906. Megan. A. Buchan ft Co., Rhymney. Dear Sirs, I have analysed a sample Gallon of your "ALL BRIGHT ALE" received from you in Screw-Stoppered Flagons, and beg to hand you my Report. This is a most inviting looking beverage, being absolutely free from all traces of turbidity, and, as its name implies, is bright to the last drop. The results of my analysis shew it to be a Light Bitter Beer of the very highest grade of purity, and in my opinion, is the product of Malt and Hops of first-class quality. The amount of Alcohol present renders it strictly a Light Ale, and its aroma and flavour are excellent. The characteristic bitfltr of the Hops being well in evidence it forms a most agreeable drink. There is not the slightest trace of any objectionable metallic substance present, and I consider it a very High-class Beer In every respect. Being sent out in Screw-Stoppered Flagons Its high aeration is preserved to perfection in consequence, and there is no chance of its suffering in condition. I consider it a distinct advance in Bottled Beers for Table use, and its high general excellence should command a ready sale. It really is a splendid sample of Beer, and I must congratulate you on its production. I am, dear Sin, Tows faithfully, GEORGE R. THOMPSON, Public Aanalyst. I DELICIOUS OOFFEE.

RHYMNEY E!5TEDOFOD I I ADJUDICATION ON CHIEF I CHORAL As announced in our last issue, the prize in the chief choral competition at the ancoessful Eisteddfod held at Jerusalem Chapel, was awarded to the well-known Caeharris (Dewlais) Choir. The test piece was the popular anthem Ar Lan'r Iorddonen Ddofn, (T. Gabriel, F.T.S.C., Bar- goed). The detailed adjudication of Mr D. R. Jones, A.C., Bargoed, is as follows In order to have a good rendering of any such work as this, the ehoir must need attend to these essentials. Balance of parts, Blend, Phrasing, Expression, together with a true inter- pretation, or spirit of the piece. No I Choir (New Tredegar).— Balance, uneven; Tenor, too promin- ent sopranos, not blending, two qualities of voices were, on times, in eviJence on the top notes. The open- ing phrase in unison, well rendered, but we cannot commend the hurried manner-accell-on Mewn blys, ac ofn", &o., which should be softly and feelingly sung, 0, Na" in Ab. The Bass gave a flat lead to the choir, resulting in faulty intonation up to the duett on page 2. u I'r Ganaan Hyfryd lacking in finish. The 2nd. movement Ond pan," &c., opened well, but in ascending towards the climax Yn iach, yn iach," became somewhat unsteady and cloudy. Pabam yr ofnaf mwy," &c., forced expression. The unison passages on page 3, good. Extravagant in stac. on the closing passages Y Duw a' daliodd hwy, a'm dyga," &c., not pleasing to the ear. Finished in good full tone. The absence of a clear conception resulting in faulty expres- sion. On the whole, very good. No. 2 Choir (Deri United).—There was a decided improvement in the balance of parts, blendiug very well. The opening phrase very good and expressive, as also was the following, í 4* Mewn blys mynd trwy, ac ofn in- tense, colour in keeping with the words, O Na bai modd i mi un- fortunately, the choir went out of tune similar to No. 1. The rendering consequently being cloudy right up to the duett, sopranos and altos on page 2. Notwithstanding this, it succeeded in producing the cord I'r Ganaan Hyfryd" with finish in good style., The second movement, good open. ing, intonation good, time correct, pleasing and effective. Yn iach, etc. very well done, colouring good, and the climax rendered splendidly. The sopranos on F, page 3, did not seem to be of one quality, but this became leas distinct as they sang, but on the word hwy they gave us two notes an unwarranted liberty- making a slur with the bass. From this point to the end the choir seemed to right itself, and did very well. On the whole this ohoir made a good attempt at giving a faithful interpreta- tion of the Anthem, but the misfortune that beset them in the first part, I seemed to mar the whole. No. 3 Choir (Pon tlot ty n). -Balance, fair. The opening phrase rendered with telling effect, especially with the tenor and bass, leading up to the close of this part in Eb. with good taste, "O! na bai modd in Ab. and the duett for sopranos and altos not so well, losing in grip 'right up to the last phrase, cad., "I'r Ganaan hyfryd" which was too full and forced, ignoring oompletely the rit. The choir ap- peared to sacrifice expression and style in order to safeguard the intonation in which they succeeded to aivappreciable degree, better than choirs No. 1 and 2. But the rendering became un- steady and common-place at timea. The Allegretto rather hurriedly done. This did not lend the dignity due to a deep-rooted yearning in expression. "Y n iach, &c. given with enthusiasm, nothing distinctive. The sopranos on the top notes, page 3, not blending well. The unison better. The ores. taken up with vigour and warmth. The climax on page 4 led them to err on the sharp side. The last cad. being very cloudy and out of tune. No. 4 Choir (Caeharris, Dowlais)— Balance, good. Rich voices; sopranos excellent, bearing the stamp of cul- ture. The opening phrases beautifully rendered-fine, and with pathos. 0 na bai modd i mi." As in the case of the two first choirs the intonation became shady, but were very steady. The sopranos and altos doing justice to the duet, the tenor and bus follow- ing in a careful and worthy manner. Uwch ei Hi," I'r Ganaan hyfryd" deserve praise for the good taste dis- played. The cad. very well attended to, although the intonation was not perfect, a little flat. This choir's ac- companist deserves a word of praise for his tact and judgment, in the endeavour to restore matters, without marring the rendering. The Alle. gretto opened steady and effective, the theme receiving due attention felicity of expression and much thought char- acterised this effort. Fy hen Gyfeill- ion" and the pause being very telling. Paham yr ofnaf" &c, given with intense fervour, without overdoing it in the colouring. We should like if the bass grasped their opportunity to the full on the phrase Y Duw &e. Working up to the climax on page 4, was very commendable indeed, as was the closing strain. This choir evi- dently had the clearest conception of the piece and succeeded to a good degree in giving a fitting interpreta- tion, and undoubtedly is the best in this competition.

FOOD CONTROL OF RHYMNEY THE NEW SCHEME. At a meeting of the Rhymney Council, on Wednesday, Mr D. James, J.P., in the chair. Mr W. H. Trump, the clerk, read a letter which Lord Rhondda the Food Controller had forwarded to Sir. Hayes Fisher, on the question of Food Control, and also a letter from the latter, outlining the proposed local machinery for carrying the Order into effect. A committee to be formed of twelve persons, one of whom must be a lady who would make all the arrangements for the distribution of sugar tickets etc., on a basis of the number of eaoh family. These tickets to be taken to a tradesman named, and at no other place would they be exchangeable. The tradesn:an in turn would receive the weight of sugar from Government according to the number of tickets in circulation for him. The Act to come into operation after Dec 31st.— Mr D. T. Williams said it was now evident that some people were receiv- ing more than their fair share in the past, and in consequence, the poorer people had to do without. Now all would be put upon the same basis of lIb. of sugar per head per week. It had shewn the Government's weak- ness in the past. It was now evident that the labour unrest throughout the country was due to the high prices of food and the Government's inactivity. He referred to local charges for ar- ticles of food.—Mr W. T. Hopkin, said that no one would welcome the controlled prices more so than the tradesman.—The Chairman said that the whole case of profiteering, which had been going on, was the cause of the present condition of the country. He believed there was a class of people who would like the war to go on for ten years. He thought it was most unfair. People should sink all their differences in these days and become one united body, but he did not think it was so. They were out on the make, and helbelieved this was the worst country they could find in this respect.—Mr Ben Probert wel- comed the advent of the scheme which would place all people alike.— It was decided to hold a special meet- ing on Wednesday next, to deal with the matter.

INDIGNANT ADJUDICATOR. SCATHING CENSURE AT ABERTILLERY. Dr. Caradog Roberts, director of music at the University College of North Wales, Bangor, in adjudicating at a competitive meeting at Abertillery on Saturday, said he desired to expose the unprincipled conduct of some competitors in insisting upon writing trashy letters to adjudicators immedi- ately before. competitions. He had received two letters from outside that district, both of which ended with the expression that they would see him at the eisteddfod at Abertillery. One was anxious to secure his services two years hence at an organ recital to be given at his home, and had hinted that the selection of the organist was entirely in his (the competitor's) hands. Another competitor was very anxious to secure his services as con- ductor at a musial festival to be held two years hence. This gentleman had even enclosed his photo and several Press notices. With some warmth, Dr. Roberts said it was too late in the day to offer a bribe to any musical adjudicator, and he warned competitors that in future he would disclose the name of anyone wha dared to indulge in such degrading and deplorable tactics, which tended to bring the dignity of the Eisteddfod into the mire. Such dealings could never be allowed where be acted as adjudicator. The best and only way for competitors to secure the favour of the adjudicator was to give artistic and intelligent interpretations.
