which the orchestra again delighted the audience. This ended the first part of the programme. The second part was . opened by a dance arranged by Miss H. ~ McDonald and taken part in by Misses Gillis, Kelly, McLeod Paton, Ryan and Vinnicombe, which was well executed. Miss Enid McLean made a pleasing impression on the as- semblage in a recitation, for which she is deserving of much credit. Mrs. Byrne sang sweetly and with good ef- fect, “Sing to me the old Scotch songs.” During the next selection, a cla.iio'net solo by Prof. W. Harry Watts, the audience was charmed by the skilful mannerin which the Professor handled this instrument. Arecitation by Miss Lefurgey well sn-stained the ' high re- putation she holds as an elocutioiiist and won much appreciation. Mies Col- lings showed excellent voice culture and her solo_ was pleasing and welt sung. Those present listened attentive- ly to another selection by the orchestra and thirwas followed by a duett by Miss Amy Earle and Mr. Chas. Earle which kept up the enjoyment .of the hour. Prof. Vinnicomoe has long been knoivn as a violinist and the Blue ~ Bells of Scotland from his stringed instrument added an- nother feather in his cap. Mr. Vinni- combe is always a. welcome performer. A vocal solo by Mr. Charies Earle was sounded f..-rth' in clear musical notes and the orchestra next played Annie Laurie. God Sive the Queen ended the programme and even- ing’s eritertaiament not soon to be forgotten. . The promoters of the entertainment.
