First Sydney Eisteddfod recollections by William Hughes
William Hughes recalls his first audience at Sydney Town Hall for the first Sydney eisteddfod. He describes stage fright, drawing a subject with a hat slip, and winning a blue ribbon and guinea prize. He notes how modesty fled and politics followed, later recounting career milestones. A second item notes Milvale to Grenfell turkey shipments with about 10 000 birds expected and Mrs J Cronin as top consignor with over 1000 head.
