BY no means the least interesting part of
the program sheets was that wherein vari-
Gus local vendors enumerated their wares
and invited their "naborsn to come i'll and
'traffickn with them Hawey gives notice
to "all We womenne & maydens" of "hys
big lotte of stuffs for gownes" and that he
has ''ye garments known as Pelysse, VIII. be
ready to put right ON, adding that ''as he
has "A big supply of butter, cheese, rye, corne,
larde 4 tallowe, he desyres to be payd iii

erne,' announce that they have brought
from towne many payres of ye so-called In

As a result of this unique and Judiciou'
advertising by poster and program, an au,
dience which filled every part OF the nal

by Gudemenne Willis and Leonard and
Gudedames Pratt and Howe but, as an

not permitted to Ego through they're songs
more than once While all the singing by
the large and well-balanced chorus wa
awarded a generous need of applause, the
Easter Anthem, Strike ye Cynbal, 'Odt

Gudedame Pratt and Nabor Massey WINS

leading part in all musical events.
