orary chairman, but being himself on duty
Mr.. II. G.. Humber was called to the seat OF

of the exercises was the presence Of each
person assigned for prog ANNE duty, and 1t
might be added that each one gave an exer-

joyment to those who listened. The appoint
ment Of the Critic was also "happy hit, all
things thus conspiring TO yield the result
