p. 1- About 2,500 persons were assembled yesterday at the Festival Hall and were Welshmen direct from North Wales, South Wales and all parts of the United States attended.

Then came duet competitions for a prize of $20.00 and a badge of honor offered by the Seattle Cymrodorion. It was to be a duet of bass and tenor, and the selection was the Welsh song “Where the Caveri Ripples”.

The judges William Courtney, John Thomas and Dr. J. M. Gower, awarded first prize to J. T. Watkins and D. Stevens of Scranton, Pa.

The warmest interest centered around the contralto solo competition. For a prize a medal was given. The selection was Gluck’s “Life Without My Eurydice”. The first prize was awarded to Miss Evans.
