made by Mr. J. P. Godwin, from which we ham the

have three anniversaries. On the seceid Sunday in
Novemier, ten years ego, this chapel was re-opened;
thus there were s number of annivertaiy lays joined
together which they might meet to celebrate. Their
funds had not quite met their expenses for sevrral
years, and in five years • debt of £ll had accuirmet.d.
THE E.D.C.—The Exoe.sior Dramatic Club gave

roe to the comic drama of "Old Honesty," which
we recently criticised. l'his periormance was an M.
manse improvement upon the first, and ran with
admirable smoothness. Mr. E. J. C .unseli had
clearly stu.lied his character of "Old Honesty ' m ire
closely since the previous occa ion, and he gave a ‘ery

and found it a very excellent aid to the amateurs'
difficulty—a natural disposal of his bandit. Miss B.
Roe as Dame Bradshaw was good in her comic part
but she might have thrown a little more nmetal
feeling of painful anxiety when she asked her husband
if he had stolen the money. Mrs. G. J. Hutchings

kept the house in • c atinual roar of laughter. It
was a pity "Colonel Bumpus " was neither up in

appeals to the prompter were poeiti• ly painful. On
the second evening, John Brougham a achuirab e
drama " The I.ish Emigrant," was given, and here
the cast was nearly the same as last season. Mr E.
J. C 'onset' as the old clerk, was very pathetic, or. J.
