The Q. c. club, favored by pleasant weather, repeated their entertainment, Sd, before a large and enthusiastic audi ence. The program: Orchestra. Song, "Neath the elms," club. Either solo, Miss Maud Silliman. Solo, F'Anchored," Ed. l.. Smith. Farce, "Ice on Parle Francaise," club.
 Solo and chorus, "Sunday school scholar" W. M Gallup and the club.
 Solo, ''Skippers of St Ives," Ed. l.. smith.
 Song, "Matin Bell" club.
 Violin and organ, Miss Wheeler and Mir Sil- liman.
 Orchestra.
 The opening number by the orchestra proved an initial success, and their suc- plause. A medley of popular airs on the Either by Miss Silliman was so we'll re- ceived that repetition was necessary. MT Smith was a general favorite as usual and, after singing Anchored" he responded to continued calls, with the serenade, '' Hutelein." The farce lost nothing by repetition, and the actors fairly outdid themselves. Mr Gallup's happy mood for the 'E Matin Bell" which followed with whistling quartet, and the latter proved new and satisfactory feature.
 The violin solo, with organ accOmpani- ment. by Mir Sillman and Miss Vince Ter, was rendered with technical skill and finish that reflected abundant credit upon both performers. In every point the entertainment scored complete success, and it is hoped that the club will be encouraged to continue their efforts in this direction.
