Notes and News. The financial success of the London Eis- teddfod is assured. Carnarvon town's folk were very jubilant on Tuesday evening when the news of the choral victory was received. Mr. Balfour is a line orator, and knows the accoustics of the Albert Hall thoroughly. His speech on Tuesday was listened to with rapt attention. D. LLOYD GEORGE, ESQ., M.P. (President of the Eisteddfod on Thursday). From all appearances one might have imagined that the London Gorsedd was situated in an out of the way forest grove. The spot was an ideal one for such a gathering. For some time past Mr. Lloyd George is the recognised president for the chaired bard day at the Eisteddfod, and who could fill the position better ? Mr. Dan Arthur Powell, who has just been appointed on the staff of house surgeons at the Charing Cross Hospital, London, is only 25 years of age. He is a young Welshman of great promise. He is the son of the late Mr. John Powell, Old Post Office, Bedlinog. He held an internal scholarship for three years at the Pengam County School, and obtained high distinction at the medical depaitment of the South Wales University College, Cardiff. He passed his M.B. and B.Sc. examinations with honours in medicine at the London University. Mr. D. Cyril Jenkins,' a brilliant young Welsh musician, at present organist and choirmaster at Bethania Church, Treorky, is one of three selected out of 127 applicants for a similar post at the English Congrega- tional Church, Southampton. Mr. Cyril Jenkins, whose musical abilities have already been referred to in the Celt, has composed several original works, and has studied under Dr. Alcock and Dr. Cuthbert Harris, London, and Mr. C. H. Kitson, Leicester, all of whom speak highly of his skill as organist. The Daily Mail placards were printed in Welsh during the Eisteddfod days. At least the placards sent to Wales were. It was a little compliment to our national language that was thoroughly appreciated. Lord Tredegar related an amusing story at the luncheon in connection with the presentation of the freedom of Newport to his Lordship. There was a celebrated town in Germany," said the genial nobleman, that was very fond of giving honours to everybody, and a great German general who was on one occasion going to pass through it, said to his escort, Men, when you come to that borough, you go through it very fast; gallop as hard as you can, or they will stop you and make d- doctors of you. Very great rivalry exists between the two Rhymney choirs, the Rhymney Choir and the Rhymney Gwent, which competed at the National Eisteddfod. Indeed, to tell the truth, the rivalry gets very" personal" at times. Rhymney is not a large town, and it would be better if the two choirs were merged into one strong combination. A series of articles dealing with the Milk Bill, by Mr. D. Owen Evans, Barrister-at- law (late of the Government Laboratory, Somerset House) will shortly appear in our columns. The first of the series will appear in our next issue, and will be of special in- terest to London Dairymen. "The enterprise of the Kelt in publishing a daily during the Eisteddfod days," writes our South Wales correspondent, was much appreciated by the people attending the Eisteddfod."
