Owing to the 10-Wl,-4-the-programme, the Rector
requested the andienoe in no case to demand • piece to
be repeated. Several of the peons, h ,wever, were
heartily applauded. Mr. Holland's comic songs were
very amusiog, and were, of course, well received. The
best features of the performance were undoubtedly
the songs and duets by Mr. and Miss Nobbs, both of
whom possess excellent voices, and the taste with
which they sang wee most pleasing. The duet 'Love
and Pride ' was remarkably well sung, and applauded
in • corresponding degree. There would have been an
encore but for the prevailing rule. Ml., Robb* has •
particularly pleasing voles, and proved a great
favourite. The Mime Behrens, who acted IN substi.
lutes to Mrs. Everett, who was set down In the pro-
gramme for • recitation, rang in an egosedlogly pretty
manner " Did you ever gee an Oyster Walk Upstairs f"
The confidence and sionchalana displayed by there
youthful perf.,rmers was remarkable, livid they were
loudly applauded at the close of the amusing duet, or,
properly speaking, song. Miss Robb. sang " No, Sir,"
In • very tasteful manner, and received wail-merited
applause. A pianoforte and piccolo duet on well-
knJwn airs was played by Mies Lydon end Mr. S.
Barden. The two " nigger " songs, " Joshes " and
" Dem Golden Slippers," by Mr. Stevens, in character,
caused much amusement. Mies Behrens sang "Silver
Threads among the Gold," with guitar acoompanimeot,
and a humorous dust, a fitting sequel to "Love and
Pride," entitled " Money Matters," concluded the find
part of the programme. The principal items In the
second part were the piano and violin duet by Mies
Lydon and Mr. Jones, • duet by the MIMI
Behrens, Mr. Holland's comic song. Mr. Steven's
spirited modal of Sims' poem, "The Lifeboat," and
Mrs. Reed's and Mies Lydon's vocal duet. An amus-
ing farce "Billy Du," was then enacted. The pieta
is full of Indiums "situations" and the capital man-
ner in which it was performed provoked Enoch mirth.
The cask wee as followe :—Billy Doo (the local bill-
sticker) Mr. W. J. Could; Dick dpooner (a grocer's
shopman) lir. T. Stevens; Mr. Theophilus Spruce (a
gentleman with an intense hatred to advertising)
Mr. W. Dimmer; Seraphim,. Wiggins (au
eligible young lady), Mime E. Gould. In the
title refs Mr. W. J Gould kept the audience in
a roar of laughter. de was a first-rate bill sticker, and
as even better lover. Mr. Stevens, the" unfortunate"
of the piece, was also ex eedingly good. The Irascible
old gent Spruce, Mr. Dimmer, acted the part in a very
creditable manner, and Miss Gould was • capital
Seraphina. There was an exce'lent stage and pro-
scenium and the arrangements left nothing to be
desired. The entertainment, as a whole, was • capital
one, and the audience testified their approval in • very
hearty manner.

in perfect order. The boys in both grout,* are
thoroughly well taught. Their knowledge of amip-

" Owing to frequent changes, canoed by sickness and
death, in the stiff of Mecham during the past two
years, the girls' school has been severely tried ; but I
find it in good order, and the religious instruction,
which has never been neglected, promises under the
sew mistress, to be still more efficient. From the in-
clemency of the weather on the day of the inspection,
the *lam of infants was unusually small, but it was •

scho3l coutiones to do a good work, more perhaps
in training the children, and riving them a religious
edumtion, than in preparing them for any examina-
tion ; and its value is, I think, to be estimated not so
much by the knowledge of the scholars, m by the

rated by the children for the day of the inspection.
It is almost too crowded by the number in attendance.

tODOEB.

The long-expected valuation of the " lied of Hope"
Lodge, M.U.0.F., Ilse arrived and can be coosidered
by the members to be satisfactory. Full returns of
the most intricate details had to be furnished by
secretaries of Lodges, and the task of obtaining the
value of each separate body way necessarily a work of
time, so it must be remembered the value as qu tad
is as at December. 1880. Among the particulars fur-
nished by Mr. W. J. W. Pike, the secretary, the
following may be interesting :
