LLANGUNLLO. NATIONAL SCHOOL.—We are aged to learn that Stanley Thomas Morris has been awarded a scholarship at the Intermediate School, Llandrindod, as the result of the recent examination held at the Knighton centre. He is the son of Mrs Morris, Heyope Crossing, and a brother of Mr David Morris, assistant master at the school.
CONCERT.—A grand concert was given at the National School on Friday last, in aid of the Choir and Sunday School fund. The platform was tastefully decorated with flowers and plants from the Vicarage, and a splendid light was supplied by the Acetylene gas with which the Church and School have been recently fitted. When the proceedings opened, the room was comfortably filled. The numbers on the programme were contributed with one or two exceptions, by a party from Cascob, the guests of the Rector. Mrs Turner, of London, first appeared and gave a careful rendering of the popular intermezzo from ” Cavalleria Rusticana.” Mrs W Thomas was the contralto. Her singing was a rare treat, and in the duet with Mrs Turner, her splendid voice was very effective. Miss Thomas (Cascob), sang Picoloinure’s “Come My Beloved,” very sweetly and as usual was much appreciated. Mr W Thomas (Birkenhead), has a fine baritone voice, and charmed the audience with his songs. Mr Tudor, without possessing much vocal power, was a great success. His genial and unaffected manner won all hearts, and in the old hunting song “John Peel,” he was loudly recalled. The other items were a pretty arrangement of the “Maiden’s Prayer” for four hands, played by Miss Bryan (Crungoed) and Mr W Thomas; and two glees tunefully sung by a party conducted by Mr John Evans, Monaughty. The Rev J Evans, Vicar, in a few well-chosen words thanked the visitors for their services on behalf of the above mentioned funds, and the National Anthem having been sung, a most enjoyable entertainment was brought to a close.
