PROGRESSIVE EUcHRE STILL THE ONLY d.
VERSION.
During the week public entertainments
were very few, the 'Cold Day. company APP
pearing at the Grand opera house, where
they presented play with little plot, but with
goodly amount of amusement, which kept
the small audience in roars of laughter.
The temperance rally in the basement of
st. Michael's church was something more
than an ordinary one, as the speeches de-
livered by Messrs. Barnes, Burke, Kelly and
Chisholm, all local, were such that when
Father Gaughan asked the large audience to
take the total abstinence pledge, men and
women rose en- masse and such enthusiasm
was seldom seen. The ladies formed a total
abstinence aid society and the men joined
the Crusaders. The work done on Thursday
night has cheered the hearts of Fathers
Murphy and Gaughan.
