ENTZITAINNINT AT UraUVC-111.111J1NGS. Through
the kindness of Mrs. A. Manse' and family, a first-
elms entertainment was given in the schoolroom.

E. Burnett, Messrs. Galvin, Mr. and Mrs. S. 11.

pianoforte duet, " Faust, ' by Fraulei. Henkel
and Miss M. Martel, opened the meeting, and being
extremely well played, was warmly applauded. The
glee, "Let the Hills Resound." by the choir, accom-
panied by Miss Osborne. was much appreciated. The
song," Beggar Girl's Sung," by Min K. Black-
stone Williams. was well received. The duet, "Secret
-Voiotia," by Mrs. Henning and Miss West, accom-
penied by Mrs. Marl, was deservedly encored, and
the last two vetoes were kindly repeated. Mrs.
Mengel then gave "The Clang of the Wooden Shrum,"
which wee most tastefully snag and deservedly enc wed.
The Rm. C. Sanctuary gave a reading, entitled "The
King and the Locusts." in such a conical manlier as to
elicit much laughter from the audience, and he was
waruilT enoered, when he kindly gave "Angela by the
Door.' He was again encored, but time would not
permit of his responding. Miss E. Mansel then sang
" When we are Old an I Grey" in a very feeling
manner, and was deservedly encored. In reuponee,
she sang a pretty song, entitled "First Love." Mr.
Zustaos Mensal created great appluise by his reading
of "Robin Hill," and being met with continuous
applause, be kindly gave "The Shy Man," which was
most amtudng_._ The next on the programme was a
" Catch" by Mir K. Williams, Miss E. Williams,
Mies West, and Mir E. Mensal. This was one of the
best pieces of the evening, and it was heartily
*pp/ended and encored, when the ladies kindly
repeated the last verso. "See our Oars," by the choir
was well received. Mrs. Henning again appeared
and sang "The Warrior Bold," and being loudly
encored, she gave "Coming Through the Rye." MIN

As the time was now apfloaching for placing the

instructions to paint and repair them.
The necessary orders were given.
THE TOWN HALL AND CORN EXCHANGE.
The Surveyor reported that some of the stonework
of the Town Hall was decaying very rapidly, and
would soon require to be re-fared. He also asked for

NEW WATER CART.
The Borough Surveyor reported that last summer
complaints were made by several of the inhabitants
of Fordington, on account of the streets in that 'reality
not being suffi dently watered. Ai he was unable to
water the streete auflhiently with those which they
had at I resent, he sugeested the desirability of pur-
chasing another hydrostatic van, which would enable
him to water the whole of the town when necessary.
It was agreed to purchase a hydrostatic van at a
cost of not more than £5O.
THE WATERWORKS.
The General Purposes Committee reported that they
had visited the waterworks, and were pleased to report

LENGTH OF ENTERTAINxerr3.—Dr. Talmage says :
—" At • quarter to ten o'clock at night every curtain
of public entertainment should drop, every church
service end, every orchestra unstring their instru-
ments." . . . " The most aublime thing outside
heaven iv the oratorio of the • Mosel or the
'Creation,' or Moab/ in Egypt.' But I have never
yet heard them when, by their very prolixity, to nin
out of ten people they dui not become a satiety. Th.
first hour we are exhaluiterl. The next half-h nar
we like it pretty well. What remains of it is spent
In looking at our watch, and yearning and wishing
that we were home."—N uw, doctor, this is rather to
hard! You should have been at the Bunion liotel
assembly Rooms on Tueslsy night, to convince you
differently, especially during those splendid choruses.
Why don't yon practice your own ruled', and look at
"The Bright Side of Things "

The weather was fortunately fine both for g In up

The worst effect of the performance ought to he

Cons were saaociateal in bringing title great effort to
succeois, the cathoiicity of tht committee strikes every-
one as the right and pritker thing. It will probably
occur to Churchmea in particular that it WY a worthy
result, when tins centemplai,in of the Messiah's
mission and its surrounding subjects enifognd the
attention iif so msoy as mot on Tuesday night. and
it may be considered very'suitaide as a preparation for
the season of Lent. Whether the committee will see
their way hi give another performance we know not
yet; but we are sum that if it be pro:Able so to do
they will eratify hondreds who were totally unable to
enter on Tuesday night.
