Order of Rechabites. The opening number
of the programme was banjo and guitar
duet by Miss Darling and Master Gordon,
who were followed by the popular alto,
Miss Martha Mundell, whose solo was rem
dcred in a very artistic manner; Miss
Mclean accompanist Mr.. Dorsey Moran's
guitar solo was passibly good and the
vocal solo of Mr.. LOveless was received
with applause.
Next came the funniest part of the en-
tertainment, which was n dialogue en-
titled "Sam Sloeleaf's White Hats" Mr..
Tony Southwick creditably rendered the
part of StocieGf and Mr.. w. G. Southwicl1
as Harry .Mogqridqe kept the audience con-
Vulsed with laughter. Mrs. Maddox as
Sarah IiJbs and Miss Li2ne Southwick as
ArdO,iHtd HoggIdge did we |.
Mr.. Lindwood Taylor's vocal solo was
simply superb and his accompanst,
Mr.. j. W. Garland, performed his part
very creditably.
Mr.. York Atlee, the whistler, is too well
known to comment upon, and Miss Susie
Wilson's solo was also good.
Ed Britton, j. simpson, II. Lowe, and
T.. Simpson amused the audience with
Trouble in Doctors Office" followed
by the entertaining dialogue, "Hoyden,"

solo was loudly encored by the apprecia.
tive audience. Messrs Mills, Johnson.
and Kelly with harmonica and guitar en-
tertaincd the audience. The solo of Mr.

number of the programme, and as Mr.

roe's song. and dance, were all very good;
The entertainment closed with the old
time punch and Judy" by Prof. II. G.

dancing was kept up until an early hour
this morning.
Fully l 800 persons crowded into the
hall and the committee account for this
