THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH FRIDAY JULY 20 1910
THE DRAGON FLAGA
The Welsh members of Parliament lately resolved that their Chairman should wait on jaka Prime Minister, supported by Sir Day'd' Bryamor Jones, and Sir Herbert Robarts, ta urge that the national emblem of Wales should' be futarted among the quarteripgn of the Royal Standard. Mr. Asquith is said to hava listened Įklodly. Russon asks, Why not? Room cán
be made for it without any loss even witbi advantage, by withdrawing one set of English lions But reason is not much, considered, in these malters at the outset, Senti: ment outweigha it, and on the first; impulse ¡¡many good' prop'a will object to a change it? the familiar bloz sary. But they may be brought reund in na long time if the new device be picturesque and interesting. Both conditions are in'filled by a red dragon rampani. It is a monster of the slimë primeral. Our concep tlog of its Appearance it not hampered by facts if any sort. So I'ɔag as the creature Inoks tre mendous Its raliom-d'ètre in justified. And the Celtic imagination may be trusted to do it justice in this respect. The only fair is that a red dragon rampaat may be so terrible that dult Eglishmen will laugh.
There is no particular reason to disbaliove that Cadwallader, the spic hero of Wales, car ried a dragon flag-il be ever existed. "But that he introduced it is not likely. Poetic legend does not countenance the assertion, and historic evidence there is Gone Merlin's
earliest feat was the detection of a red and white dragon fighting to the death under the foundations of Uchye's Castle; he intervened and routed the Baxen champica, thus preparing the way for Arthur's victories. But it would saem that Uther was styled Pendragon befors this mystic episode his great son was the wecond balder of the title;. suggesting that the Gag bad long been recogalsad, Tennyson re presents the good King with a golden dragos clinging to his crown, writhing down his' robe, creeping up his chalf, and wandering "through kaois Bad folds and loops Innumerable.”. This picture recalis the Chinese school- of art. But there is A KFAVO mit. taka-Arthur's dragons must have been red, "for they were opposed to the golden variety, pit- taining to Wessex. Upon the other hand, red would have been insigolfcest on royal robes of crimson, Tennyson claimed poetic licence for bis embroidery,
The proper colour of the ground was skowor perhaps, ut Hasworth, the last time the d'agen fing was displayed la battle, 'We are told that Richmond Baw it by right of his descent from Cadwallader, a red dragon on a field of whità and green slik. After the victory another Par- suivant was added to the Heralds' College, and we have Rouge Dragon to this day. It must be noted, however, that the great Glendower hoisted a golden dragon on a 'white ground when ba-raised, the standard of Walsh revolt; and he also claimed descent from Cadwallader, It le certalo, neverthalosi, that the Walsh monster, was red. All the Tudors bors it on State occasions as their family device;' it was Carried at the funeral of the last of them, Ella beth...

One often roads that the golden dragon of Wenitx was fi›wa for the last tims at Hastings This is not strictly true, for David of Scoiland unfurled it at the Battle of the Standard, 1138, in right of ble grandm/ther, St. Margaret, 'as we are expressly told. But the flag which William went to the Pope as a trophy represent- ed" mau fighting, all boret with gold and precious stones." This would be Hara! Ja- | own banner, apparently. But the golden dragon of Wessex was paraded on Midsummer Day for many ceptories along the High-street of Bur- ford, in the Cotswolds during that mysteriona commemoration which is a standing perplexity for mechmalogistu. 3, at least, know nothing of it except this most interesting fsc), and the great importance attached to it by the coun- try people.
