...There is preparation for having a good time at the Dewi Sant rooms on Wednesday evening. The singers are have been practicing various pieces, and the able lecturers are studying their speeches. Mr. Owen Jones is one of them; he will be extolling the virtues of Tea. The lecturers are experienced with their subjects which will be recognized by all. It is expected that Mr. Jones will scatter the prejudice that some will have toward the material, and will be able to teach those assembled how to recognize the best from the worst. I drink tea sometimes with one old fellow who can testify that the tea for 30 cents is finer and better than the 60 cent tea....
