The "Old Folks Concert" given at
Kittson Hall on Friday evening last was
decided success. There was a full
house and everyone seemed more than
pleased with the program. The singers
were dressed in very attractive costume
which was quite an interesting feature of
the concert. All the selections were we'll
rendered, but come of them are deserv-
ing Of special mention. A quaker dia-
logue a two part songe." by "Icl,abod
Gustave Brief" and "Polly Blossom
Patriarch" (Mr. Short and Miss Sarah

Asariah Trainhim," Miss Naylor and
Mr.. Trenholme.) "a Worldlie Songe''-
cousin Jedediah"-by "Ar,ninta Dia-
dem van Pelt" (Mrs. Ryan and all Ye

old lady's part to perfection, making the
boys and girls stir around lively ON the
expected arrival Of their friends oil the
way from Boosting Town" Mrs. Thon,-
sons solo "Shadowland" was change to

program was "Poor Tilted Jonathan"
whose wife had gone away with the
young doctor. No Tilted husband ever
felt worse than MIR. Short looked as he
sang his part, surrounded by his SYM
pathizers who tried hard to assuase his
SORROWS. Poor Jonathan was terribly
broken up. ''Hodija Abimclich Lumber
jaw" (Mr. ]. A. Delaney, sustained his
part in several pieces very creditably,
considering that he had only few days
to prepare to take the part of gentle
men who was absent. The Italian string
band, from Winnipeg, added much to
the interest of the entertainment by their
music at intervals given in excellent style.
Mrs. Schram, also, gave a selection on
the organ that showed much skill in the
use of that instrument.
