ately costumed, rs they performed the
grand march, would beggar all de-
scriptoin.
We predict for the merchants un-
usual holiday trade as a result of the
beautiful and novel method of adver-
tising.
The programme for Monday evening
opened with ''The Grand Trade Carni.
vi March" played by the Worthington
Brass Band.
The ladies entered the hall through
the double doors at the right in single
file and described with precision, the
figures of the grand march in the cen
tre of the room. After the march, the
chairs were arranged in front Of the
platform aid 1.-The Black Bird Oper-
stta was announced. This charming
little piece is founded upon tho nursery
rhyme:
''Sing = song of sixpence
Pocket full Of rye,
Four and twenty black birds
Baked in a pie.''
The first act presented the Kings
kitchen and the cooks chorus, ''cocF !,

MI. Claude Mitchell, was snperbly
made up as courtier and although his

his part alone and with grace.
In the centre Of the platform upon

chief cook presented to tie king, at
whose bidding the pie was opened,

another and another until twenty.four
little girls in black bird dominoes had
all jumped out OF the pie. Then the
birds told the king their story in a
pretty song. The cruel maid, WHO
suggested the baking Of the pie, had
her nose nipped by the bird who was
not afraid. The last act showed the
