of Mr.. H. A. Foresman, who benefited on the &C.

the attractive programme announced. The con-

rendered, especially the Torendor song from

cultivated baritone voice. Mr.. Josef Kaspar ex-
executed De Beriots Concerto No : for violin with
true artistic finish and the Apollo Club, under the

precision and effect as to receive double encore.
At the conclusion of this part of the programme
an announcement was made that, owing
to the " indisposition" of Mr.. John o. Pugh

presented. In order to ascertain posi-
lively the condition of things, Mr.. Foresman
was interviewed, who said that, ain plain
language, Mr. Pugh was full" He felt deeply
the disappointment which he was compelled to
infict upon the audience and had nothing but
disgust for the man who had caused it. The bal

who had participated in the earlier part of the
evening, and Mr.. Foresman gave most effective
rendition of the well-known comic song, Lord
Lowell" Mr. S. j. Kubel acceptably performed the
