EDITH WYNNE. The subject of our present pencilling was born at Holywell. She made her debut, as a soprano of no ordinary promise, at the great National Eisteddvod held at Llangollen in 1858. Those who had the good foitune to be at the elithusiastic meetings of that glorious gathering will never forget the sunny little girl in Welsh costume who sang "Clycbau Aberdovey" as she plied her tiny, wee, stock-knitting the while. How she did pour out her very soul in song to be sure, as her clear, silvery notes came flying out of her lips, and went careering around the roof of the spacious pavilion-as if a flight of nightingales was" migrating from earth to btaven It was while that' little girl was retiring, amid a storm of applause, after singing "Aderyo Pur" that tho gentleman seated beside the writer first broke silence. Verre goot," said he, magnifique par Dieu; one grand song. I undeltake one great travel, route entiere from Italy, for to hear this style of du Welsh Shant, and that one song has made repay ali mine expenses." The promising young sungtress of the Llugollen Eisteddvod of 1858 again reappears before her countrymeu upon the platfurm of the Mold Eisteddvod in 1873. But how changed during the interval ! The aspirant for musical fame of 1858 returns in 1873 as a soprano of world-wide celobrity-as a Cantatrke whom the denizens of two Hemispheres have flocked to hear and to applaud. She returns decked with triumphs. But of all the proud wreaths which adorn her brow, the fairest is this-she has never forgotten her native land. Edith Wynne.. has not:—nor its dear old melodies, They were the first companiono of her earlier struggles -the witfie«ses and the assistants of her first triumphs, those old Welsh songs were. There may or there may not be hidden in the inmost recesses of the great Songstress's escritoire some old pebble, or withered heather, or faded flower bud-embleni of this sad or that speiny memury-theie may, or there may not. But the unfinished sock is assuredly there and the knitting needles and just a scrap of an old MS. song, with Un, dati, tri"-(pedwar, worn uut). pump. ckwech-meddai Clychau Aurdovey."No, Edith Wynne has not forgotten her Welsh songs. She still sings her national melodies, with the expression and pronunciation of a native. She never astonishes the Aboriginta with such form of the Welsh words of Aderyn Pur" as the following, which was given at a Penny Keadiug, in the writer's hearing, by a young lady from Liechwedd y Llidiardau, who had been once to Manchester, and twice, by an excursion train, to Birkenhead. Now, the eharw of Edith Wynne's Welsh singing is its correct enunciation. London has not made her forget her Welsh.She can enunciate it as currcctly now as when sbe hrst left her native hills. Not only can, but does; and to say that is to say a good deal. Because it cannot be but that long residence in England, and continued practice in other tongues should, as it dots, mar one's readiness iu an unused foim of speech. But not in Wales only is our heroine a star of whom any people and any land may be proud. A concert or a festival in Loudon or in the English provinces would soarcely be held to te complete,the programme which did cointain the ever welcome and honoured name of Edith Wynne.And whether she sings before Royalty,at a National Eisteddfod own people, she is always the same popular, unaffected, patriotic, honest, "open spirit. Wales has in the presellt day many sons; and daughters of whom she can well atiord to be pruder, but of no one is she prouder than of this chief of song, who casts a lustre alike upou herself aud upon her people by the proud positiou which she holds amoug the" very first of contemporary musical celebrities.—

Edith Wynne came from a musical family in North Wales, and sho was one of the many famous artistes whose genius was first discovered by Llew Llwyfo, the versatile Welsh bard and musician. Llew heard the future prima donna when she was in her 14th year. This was in an eisteddfod in the neighbourhood of Wrexham, at which Llew was adjudicating. The purity and richness of her voice at once attracted the attention of Llew, and it was mainly at his urgent request that Miss ynne's family were persuaded to train her for a musical career. Having studied for some years at Liverpool, she proceeded to Italy, and at Florence placed herself under the tuition of Romani, and afterwards studied with Signor Vauncini. Her first appearance before a London audience was in 1862, at a concert given by Mr. John Thomas, the Queen's harpist, at which Thalbcrg and the great Jenny Lind were present, and both predicted for her a bright career. She soon established for herself an enviable reputation as a soprano vocalist, and secured triumph after triumph in various parts of the kingdom. In 1871, accompanied by the late Madame Patey, Mr. Santley, and Mr. W. H. Cummings, the present president of the (.uildhall* School of Music, she toured in the United States, and repeated the visit in 1874, when she appeared in Boston at the Handel and Haydn triennial festival. Upon her return she was presented by her countrymen and country- women with a marble bust of herself and a diamond bracelet, the presentation taking place at a concert given by the London Welsh Choral Union. The bust was handed to her by Col. Coruwallis-West, the present Lord-Lieutenant of Denbighshire, and the bracelet—which had on it her eisteddfodic iiom tie pin nit, "Eos Cymru" (The Nightingale of Wales), set in large brilliants—was formally presented to her by the great Sir Watkin, the "Prince in Wales." Edith Wynne, in her day, saug at all the great festivals of the kingdom except that of Worcester, and has on repeated occasions sung at State concerts at Buckingham Palace with Madame Christine Nilsson, Madame Albani, and the late famous contralto, Alboni. Madame Edith Wynne had a brief experience of the stage, for in 1864 she played Lady Mortimer in Henry IV. at Drury-lane for eight weeks. She used to sing each night "Clychau Aberdovey" in Welsh; and on one occasion al a party given at his house shortly belore his death, Charles Dickens remarked to her Miss Wynne, I shall never forget the pleasure you gave me in hearing you sing in Henry the Fourth.' In 1875 she was married at the Chapel Royal, Savoy, to Mr. Aviet Agabeg, an Armenian gentleman who enjoys a lucrative practice as one of the leaders of the Rangoon bar. Madame Agubeg resided in England to superintend the education of her daughter, their only child, who, according to Mr. Frederic (irimths in his Notable Welsh Musicians" gives great prominence of having inherited her mother's talent.

Stormy Panorama par Steve Garrington Via Flickr : In Explore. Highest position: 10 I think I need to fully explain this image to you. When I'm out shooting these storms at Porthcawl Lighthouse, things are happening all at once, here I fired off three shots in quick succession panning right to left. The resulting images were disappointing because each one only told part of the story and I choose to ignore them when reviewing the day's work, as I felt none of the three individually would hold up against others I had already posted to Flickr. A few days ago I looked at them again and was feeling a bit sad that I had failed to capture such a dynamic scene properly, but it slowly dawned on me that I had, just not in one shot. Anyway, to get to the point, I thought why the hell can't I do a pano with them? So I did, four attempts and five hours later this was the result. I thought full disclosure was necessary and I hope you will forgive me taking such a liberty. Personally, I feel that this image best captures my experience of the storm than of any I have previously posted, many thanks - Steve. 51°28'23.24"N 3°41'59.19"W

Lighthouse Storm par Steve Garrington Via Flickr : In Explore. This wave shot is different from the others in that most of the waves are taken between me and the Lighthouse. This one though, seemed to just clip the end of the seawall giving a very slender upright discharge directly in front of the structure. 51°28'23.19"N 3°41'59.15"W
