APMADOC, SECRETARY OF THE EISTEDDFOD. Chicago and the World's Fair year have been the occasion for the crea tion of many reforms, the crystallizing of theories into something distinct and practical and the making of new epochs in almost every branch of human industry, science and art. The power and beauty of electricity have been brought out as never before. Artisans of the world have profited by each other's handiwork in ideas and skill, and the future result in the manufacturing world can only be conjectured. Woman has been given an opportunity to show her genius, and before Oct. 30 the apostles of every fad, reform and creed known to modern civilization will have been given an opportunity to present its ideas in President Bonney's world's auxiliary congresses on the lake front. Sept. 5, 6, 7 and 8, in Festival Hall at the fair grounds, the Welsh people of the world, under the immediate leadership of their countrymen in Chicago, are to inaugurate a new era in the national Welsh institution known as the Eisteddfod. For The Eisteddfod is the competitive literary and musical festival of the Welsh nation. Through the centuries it has lived in the hearts and on the tongues of the sons and daughters of the nation, and to-day it is in a more flourishing condition than ever. the last sixty years, choral competition has been one of the most attractive features. And we respectfully submit, that the choral competitions, choral mass-singing, harp-playing, and the bardic chair ceremonies at the World's Fair International Eisteddfod have been planned on such a scale, and in such a manner, as to surpass any exhibition ever attempted before.

Monday, evening, Sept. 4, the National Cymrodorion of Chicago, and the representatives of the Cambro-American Literary and Musical Societies, will receive and entertain the delegations of the London Cymrodorion Society, the Grand Bardic Order of the Isle of Britain, the National Eisteddfod Association, and the distinguished Presidents, Adjudicators, Artists, Conductors, and all eminent persons in Welsh literature, music and art.
