MALE CHORUS WINS
AT HAMILTON
The listowel Male Chorus distin
guished themselves and brought hon
or to Listowel in their win at the
Hamilton Eisterrfod last Saturday
They are indeed assisting to keep
Listowel on the map.
When the party reached the city
in the afternoon they were disap
pointed to find they would have no
competition. Other years there has
been from four to six choirs in this
competition, making it a real event
in the program. The chairman, Rev
Rural Dean John Samuel, attributed
this lack of competition to the in-
dustrial situation.
However, it was learned that if 75
marks were secured only half the
prize money would be paid and that
80 or more marks must be secured
to win the $75 cash prize and the
Hindoo Koosh Grotto Cup. The
men felt they would need to put
forth a real effort to pass the 80
mark and were delighted when the
adjudicator announced the mark as
84, the highest mark obtained in any
class at the festival.
Dr. H. A. Bricker, of Toronto, and
H. K. Jordan of Brantford, were the
adjudicators. Dr. Bricker, in his re-
marks, highly complimented the
choir.
"The chorus was very well man-
ned," he said, "and the balance of
the parts was good." He said the
changes of tone were well done, the
singers making the parts easily, and
the soft parts were exceptionally
well done. "Had there been other
choirs," said Dr. Fricker, "they
woiticl have had to make a good roan
for their money."
Naturally a great deal of credit is
due to the conductor, Mr. P. F.
Hoadley, for his interpretation of
composition and his untiring zeal
and patience in the weeks of train-
ing. Miss Edna Hallman, the accom-
panist, filled her important position
in fine style, and also deserves much
credit.
The following from this commun-
ity were members of the choir: 0.
Wearring, Wroxeter; L. F. Ashton,
Rev. G. W. Butt, Everett Sparling,
Harvey Sperling, -Clarence McCal-
lum, of Gorrie; Garnet Wright, of
Lakelet, and Austin Stinson, N'ew-
bridge.
