ARCH DRUID EVANS IN CHARGE

Abost the Other Cjrmrls Poets.
Wales, with Its pleasant superstitions
and beautiful formalities, was trans
ported last evening, in a II its realization,
to the Welsh Taberoaole church, on
South Hyde Park avenue, where the
multitude gathered and witnessed one
of the endearing scenes of Welsh life
nd custom.
The event was the formal seating
of Uk? chair bard of Wales, Rev J. O.
Williams, "Pedros," who won the
coverted honor at the recent Llanelly
eisteddfod. Mr. W Ml tarns waa success
ful In a contest with twenty-ix poets,
and his poem on "Happiness" was se
lected aa the brat of all. A peculiar
os well as favorable feature of these
Welsh prize compositions la the fact
thut each piece must have twenty
four different metres aa well a to
possess the 'true poetic sentiment. Mr.
REV. J. O. WILLIAMS.
Williams was successful, but at the
time of his victory he was In this
country, and hence was unable to be
placed in tht bardic chair by the cere
mony which is attached to this action.
. ticrcmon of the Chairing.
Because of his presence In this coun
try the Welsh literateurs of this set-it ion
resolved to perform the ceremony
whii'h characterizes the seating of the
chair bard. The event transpired last
night in the Tabernacle church and
was witnessed by numbers of West
Side residents.
The ceremony of "chairing" the suc
cessful poet was taken, part In by the
following gentlemen: Atch Druid D. J.
Evans, of Scranton assisted by the
Rev. T. C. 'Edwards, D. D. of Kings
ton: Rev. D. P. Jones and Rev. D. C.
Phillips, of Scranton; and Ivor Cynldr
Parry, of Kingston; John H. Powell,
'Ehedydd, Cy,non" 'Mrs. George W.
Powell, d.Morfudd): David Jonts. of
Bellevue; Thomas Jehu, of Providence,
and several others from distant parts.
The seating of the bard is very beau
tiful. .His fellow poets are seated In a
semi-circle on the platform. The ad
judicators, three In number, declare
who the successful competitor Is, and
then the arch-Druid selects two of the
poets from the circle to bring forward
the successful bard to his presence on
the platform. He then commands the
poet to be seated in a magnificent oak
chair manufactured for this purpose.
men tne poet is commanded to rise
and tile arch-Druid unsheathes his
sword over the poet's head, an In a
sonorous voice asks the multitude
three times in succession "if peace
reigns supreme."
The multitude answers In the af
firmative and the arch-Druid declares
him the poet-laureate of his nation for
one year and one day. Following this
imposing ceremony each In turn con
gratulate the victor poet In impromptu
verses.
II Returned Thanks.
This ceremony was performed last
night by the gentlemen named above
and Mr. Williams, after he had been
formerly Installed as the nation's poet,
thanked his American fellow poets for
their attention to him and In closing
he recited a portion of his prize poem.
The impromptu stanzas of the bards
on the platform were given In a metre
peculiar to the twenty-four metres' of
Welsh poetry. IMrs. W. George Pow
ell's contribution was In English and is
given In full:
All nan: mou Daru magestir.
We give thee greeting here.
Thy muse It is artistic.
Though often quite eccentric,
It falls upon the ear.
Thy fame Is transatlantic.
They name to many dear,
Thy memory historic,
Thy voice It Is harmonic.
Thy pleading brings a teaflr.
. Thy hcat with love o'erflowlng, '
For Him who rules above.
Thy Influence bestowing,
Thy face with radiance glowing, -While
telling of His love.
Thou art by nature's flat
A bard of high degree.
.Gentle, sedate, and quiet.
Delighting not In riot,
But from all malice free.
In magestry march forward;
Nor let thy muskvg cease.
But ever pressing onward.
W th faith still looking Homeward.
Where thou shalt rest In peace.

Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, recog
nised as the most famous of all the great
New Jersey seashore resorts, have mani
fold attractions for all persons that ap
preciate a sojourn by the ocean. The
world at large contributes people that are
patrons of these resorts and among them
are many that are distinguished In the
various walks of life. The hotel, cottages,
view of ocean, the breakers, bathing and
style that pervades Asbury Park each re
curring summer la something startling
and must be seen by personal observation
n order to be appreciated fully. August
Is the month here. Ths hotels and cot
tages are filled, the fine driveways are gay
with fashionable equipages and the mu
sic of manifold bauds and orchestras
throws Its resonant echo over the entire
scene. At night the flicker of electric
lights seems to be almost In competition
with the stars, for It must be remembered
that Asbury Park Is a city or advancement
and has all th modern Improvements
born of enterprise. The private life In cot
tages Is tin. strange comparison with th
fashionable round or hotel gayety that at
tracts wide-awake people to the eranri
hotels. Asbury Park with all the bustle
that keeps visitors on the qul-vlve, has
no disorder, for the stringent local taws
keep all would-be offenders within bounds
and nothing but a good time marks the
wane of summer days, Rathlng Is one of
Asbury's greatest attractions, and the cos
tumes seen here In the breakers ars as
original as they are costly and varied,
Ths board walk, ths greatest along shore
