room was again crowded by members and friend. •4
the above to listen to an entertanuntebt by the Wine
borne campanologists. and we need hardly say that
every one present Wao, highly delighted. We think
it a great pity that Mr. Hart and his coatpany of
ringers are not brought more before the notice of ths
public. It is a splendid at of bells, and we can
thoroughly understand Mr. Hart's foaling when he
said it was more to his advantage to spend hi.. money
on those bells than on intoxicating drinks. Ths
following was the programme :—Opening hymn. No.
39; prayer by Bev. V. Tatleek ; hymn 147 ; hand.
bell performance, waltz reading, " First and Istod
Words," Mr. Jacobs ; short address, Rev. %V. Tatlock ;
handbell performance, "Ring tie, MA Watchman -;
recitation, " day No, Mr. Warlatbd ; reading,
"Good Advice," Mr. Luckham • hymn (id : handbell
perfoonnatun " Bluebells of Scotland,' and " West,
• ter Chimes " ; followed by •• Home, Sweet
Home." A very hearty vote of thanks, with three
loud cheers, were given for the performers • also for
the Het.. W. Tadock for 1./molding. Mr. 'Hart, in
responding, said it gave him great [armoire in doing
a little to forward so gosid a cause, and hoped to amp.
again with a larger company of perfornwrs. (Loud
cheers.) A few kind and humorous worda from the
ekairmsn, followed by pronouncing the Bent-clic-
lion, brought this pleasant meeting to a close.
