Cymro a'r Celt Llundain

Welshman, and in his younger days repre- sented his country on the football field. He is still keenly interested in the game, and is the president of the London Welsh Club. He probably began golf a little too late to attain international honours at that game also but he is a keen and improving player. Not so very long ago he had a most success- ful week at Littlestone. He fairly swept the board in the matter of competitions, with the result that his handicap was very rapidly and properly diminished." The following note from a North of England newspaper will be read with interest by CELT readers. It is a sequel to Mr. Lloyd George's visit to Grimsby:- At Grimsby, on Tuesday, Charles Empage, a cornet-player, sued Joe Cavee, conductor of the Grimsby Rinkeries Orchestra, for 23 10s., wages in lieu of notice. Plaintiff said that while the orchestra were playing as the people were assembling to hear Mr. Lloyd George when he spoke at Grimsby, the second cornet-player wore a big Liberal favour. Plaintiff then put on his music-stand a card bearing the words: "Vote for Doughty," and was subsequently dismissed. The defence was that plaintiff was dismissed because he was under the influence of drink, and when asked to lead the singing said, My cornet is a Conservative cornet, and won't play Liberal tunes" The verdict was for the defendant. A POPULAR WELSH CHOIR LEADER. We have pleasure in publishing a portrait of Mr. Tom Stephens, R.A.M., Newport. Mr. Tom Stephens is the conductor of the Newport Co operative Choir, which, although only established nine months ago, has already won two firsts and two seconds at the Newport, Swansea, Mountain Ash, and Abergafenny Eisteddfodau. Mr. Stephens is a native of Abertillery. An excellent school for boys is Oakfield House, Stow Hill, Newport. It is situated in a healthy residential district. The curri- culum is highly efficient. Boarders are received and given special attention. Parents desirous of a good school for their boys should apply for prospectus to the head- master, Mr. Horace Pitt, Inter. B.A., London. A correspondent writes: The most in- spiring lines I have ever read in the English language are the following. I should much like to see a Welsh translation by a CELT reader: Rise, for the day is passing, And you lie dreaming on, The others have buckled their armour, And forth to the fight have gone. A place in the ranks awaits you, Each one has some part to play The past and the future are nothing In the face of the stern to-day.
