Williams, West Scranton, singing "Moab." The prise was awarded" Mr. Davies." The presiding officer of the evening session was Chester Thomas. Prof. David Jenkins conducted the hymn singing. "Bydd myrdd Rhyfeddo dau" and "Ruddersfiel" were some of the finest example of hymn singing, but this phase reached a climax when County Commissioner Morgan Thomas took the baton and conducted the beautiful old hymn Pryniau Caer salem ceir gweled." Such singing is seldom heard and it bore three repetitions.
