DEWI SANT. CELEBRATIONS IN WALES. —- DAFFODIL DAY. I SCENES. AT THE SWANSEA SCHOOLS. The celebration of St. David's Day in Swansea on Monday opened in a blaze or siin&Imte, w iiicii loiiuoci «t itiid nappy accompaniment to the local ob- ;>-ev\ance of tile National Feast; an ob- servance which is growing in practice, in enthusiasm, and in scope year by year. by common consent daffodil seerned to have been adopted by the majority of people in place ot the traditional leek, ann, while tixc wearing of an emblem was net as general as perhaps one would likq, still there was every sign that the practice is growing. In tiie schools fcfie morning was given up to addresses* o-t St. David and other national heroes, the singing of Welsh 8011gs, Welsh recitations, the telling of Welsh legends, etc., while there was a general holiday in the afternoon. — SONC CELEBRATIONS. National Programmes at Social Concerts Many columns will not suffice to do justice to ail the celebrations, local and general. There has never been such a host of dinners, meetings and concert's. And there are more to come this even- ing and Tuesday! Let us gtart with the Saturday even- mg functions. Every local concert was—a national concert. At the Mond Hall, Madame Ben Thomas and her party were all daintily arranged in Weiish costumes. Their renderings of Welsh airs were exceedingly sweet, and encores were persistently demanded. Particularly fine were "Delyn Pur," and "Ar Hyd y Nos." Miss Ferrar accompanied, and Mr. Evan Evans., who presided, made an excellent speech. At \Vesley concert, Welsh hymns were sung before the proceedings opened, and "Hen Wlad fy'Nhadau" opened the official programme. The j artistes were the Misses Beatrice Jen- kins, M. H. Davies. E. Gladys Hurn, Ceinwen Thomas, and Sarah A. James, and Messrs. Evan Davies, Entiyn Thomas, Robert Hughes; and Madame Ben Thomas' party. A splendid con- cert it was, presided over by Mr. If. Lovat Owen, and organised by Mi-. Trevor Hurn. Then there was the concert at the Y.M.C.A., and the Welsh lecture at the library, where the Rero Lemuel Hopkin James, M.A. (vicar of Ystrad Mynach), spoke on a celebrated Vale of Neath character of the Elizabethian penod, Thomas Llewelyn, of Rhigos. The lecture was in Welsh, and Mr. James quoted several lengthy poems of social and religious interest written by Thomas Llewelyn, now enshrined anioug the lolo MJS.S. at Llanover. The Rev. N. L.

Morgan, Oliver Jonc?, W. J. Croc- ker, Charles Gustavus, J. F. Collett, Emanuel Thomas, and others. The toast of Our King, Queen, and Prince," and Our Defenders" (given by Mr. W. Tinsley, and responded to by Mr. R. A. Jones). The chairman gave the toast of The Patron Saint of Wales. He was sure the toast would strike a chord in the heart of every Englishman, Scotchman, and Irishman, because after all they were a cosmopoli- tan people in this great Empire. Dewi Sant was possessed of all the graces of sentiment race, religion, and lan- guage. and in this spirit they were assembled to do him honour. Mr. D. J. Thomas gave Wales, our Country," stating that he was proud of the true national spirit that existed in Wales to-day. They welcomed foreign- ers coming into their midst, and all they asked was that they should respect the Welsh sentiment. (Cheers). Mr. Alfre Morgan spoke of the great renaissance of national feeling which had come in the past decade or two. r. "Our Town" was proposed by Mr. G. A. Morris, and responded to by Alderma-n Dan Jones and Mr. F. H.' Lee. Welsh soogs were given by Messrs. Spraggen, H. A. L. Smith, and others, a violin intermmzo being given bv Mr. Cuthbert Lewis. bU.1 Oliver Evans acted a& pianist. IN THE DISTRICTS.

I I I Lord Chief justice Cuest at National I Banquet. We can only briefly indicate the ex- tent of the genoml celebrations. In London yesterday there was a Welsh concert at the Palladium; and Mr. Ellis GrifHh, :\I.P., pre&id:ed over a meeting at Westbourne Park Chapel, when Mr. T. Huws Davies delivered an address on "St. David of Wales." The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Reading (or to give him his title in Welsh, Y Gwir Anrhydeddus Arglwydd Reading), was the guest of the evening a.t the Welsh National Banquet at the Hotel Cecil on Saturday. Mr. John T. Lewis presided, and among the 350 guests pre- sent were Sir David Brynmor Jones, K.C., M.P., and Lady Brynmor Joues, Sir Alfred Mend, M.P., aIHfLady Mond, Mr. Ellis Griffith, K.C., M.P., and Mrs. Griffith. Mr. John Hinds, M.P., and Mrs. and Miss Hinds, Mr. Ll. Williams, K C., M.P., and Mrs. Williams, Mr. Hugh Edwards, M.P. Lord Reading said he first made ac- quaintance with Wa-les as a sailor at Penarth Dock He sailed to Rio Janeiro in a vewfel owned and manned by Scotsmen, and on arriving at Rio Janeiro he shnveiUd the coal out, which I bad come from Wales. His own people wore not quite so full of expression a, the Welsh, probably owing to the tact thc- li?ul !)ad to eiicounter cell- that they had had to encounter ceu- tiuies of persecution such as the Welsh had not knflwn. The Welsh had a lovo of song and the, power of oratory which moved great masses and impelled to ac- tion. True oratory was a medium of expression from soul to soul. He wisho-d more of it were known in a tongue I which he could understand, for Welsh ideals were high and ennobling. IN THE SCHOOLS. I How Local Children Commemorated the I Day. There was no set programme for all the schoois, but the celebrations fol- lowed the lines of suggestions based in a circular sent out by the Superinten- dent or Education (Mr. T. J. ltees) in- spired by the booklet published by the board ot Education. At Terrace-road infants' department, under the supervision of Miss Thomas, the nead teacner, there walS an address, on the day and its meaning. A tableaux acted by tour children in the character of Welsh women at, tea was of interest. For the girls' department. Miss Neal, the headmistress arranged a splendid programme, which included di-a-matj-t-? tions of the stories of Boadicea, the Babe of Carnarvon, and the Rebecca Riots. Addresses were a-fven and an eisteddfod followed. In the boya' department, ot which Mr. Dd. DaVIes is the headmaster, the programme fol- lowed similar lineg, and a striking fea- ture was the acting of a Wel,sh playlett written by Mt-. G. vV. DorreJl, depicting the Romans in Britain, and the capture of Caraotacus. At the Boys' Municipal Secondary School there was an attractive pro- granime carried out under the super- vision of the headmaster (Mr. J. Bean land), the singing of Welsh folk-song, and an address by Ald. Dd. Davies (Deputy Mayor) were included. At the Rutland-street Infants' School, where Miss Colmore is the head mis- tress, the programme included drama- tisations of the "Leek scene from Henry V." the life of St. David, tiI., landing of the French at Fishguard; the Investiture of the Prince of Wales, and Welsh songs and recitations in charac- ter, etc. At the Girls' School, Miss Copus supervised an attractive pro- gramme. In the Boys' Department. Mr. Gough, the headmaster, gave an address on St. David and other eminent Welshmen. Then followed the singing of Welsh airs in Welsh. In addition a dramatisation of Owen Glyndwr and his contemporaries" was presented. At the Graig Infants' School, Morris- ton, a number of the little ones were dressed in Welsh costumes. Practically the whole of the proceedings were con. ducted in Welsh. Rebe Morgan, Doris May Lewis, Hetty Thomas, and Peggy Davies took part in the proceedings and a Welsh play, "The Legend of the Leek" was performed, Master Josi o Griffiths taking the part of Cadwallon. At Pentrepoeth Girls' School, where Miss Evans is headmistress, a photo- graph of the late Dr. Griffith John was unveiled. A number of girls dressed re- spectively in Welsh and Chines* cos- tumes took part.

A Welsh dialogue was given, and the points were taken by a German boy, Andrew Hiney, who speaks Welsh fluently: Charles Thompson, Emlynl John, Emlyn Joseph, and Hannah PhiIhpFI. I At Dyfatty Schools Welsh airs and old folk songs were rendered by the I children, and concerts were held m the) various department*. All the chil- dren, although not all Welsh-speaking^ l sang the Welsh songs clearly. Our reporter was here informed that little difficulty was met in teaching the young ones the Welsh words.
