Considering that he no days have 50 re-
Gently passed, which joyful time always causes
extra demands to be made on ones excheq uer,
and considering also tbs gloomy aspect Of
affairs, l was somewhat surprised to see
such a fair audience at McGivney's Hall last
even ing, and what is stitl better; to be able
TO say that the ente ,tainment was greatly
enjoyed by all. AS I did not "burn the
midnight OILS when / got home to write my
Impressions of he evening, / can only briefly
refer to it, as time does not permit of aIsngthy
account.
First of all, let ms say that the arrange.
ment or decoration of tho stage bespoke
much taste in those who performed the
pleasant task, The opening of the Concert
with grand vaIse by Miss Skeoch caused
much applause. Miss Woods treated us
to You naughty, naughty men which
like all the others, was sweetly sung. Mr..
H0Aer WAS, 20 usual, quite up to the mark
in bis comic songs. Mr.. OOuIter's rendering
Of the "Parson and the CLERK was also we'll
received, and his recitation of Browning's
Grand Poem ''Htrve Riel" was ca ital. Mr..
Henderson in his character song, dressed az
a "sodger") II goes to fight nit Siegel"
nearly made us split our sides with laughter.
Dir. Henderson's rendering of it was quite
realistic he caught the war spirit, and the
Dutchman was simply spelling to go aud
fight for Uncle Sam.
Tommy Tomkims" made love to 'Polly
Hopkins" who leased each other mach to the
delight of the audience. 1t was quite a de-
parture from the usual Church concert, the
parson in this instance having had no hand in
it, simply a voice, literally SO, which however,
he used splendidly in the so g. which he
sung. The credit for the succesS.of this very
pleasant entertainment is due to Mr.. T. NJ.
Moore with whom originated the idea of hav-
ing it, and who was interchangeable in his Of.
forts to make it what it proved TO be.
Each participant in the programme was
applauded, and in almost every case encored
thus proving the appreciation of tho rendering
of what was played or sung,
At the conclusion of the, entertainment
Revd. GreidOr in behalf of Revd Mcclure,
thanked all chose who had assisted in making
the evening such a. thoroughly agreeable one,
and h sexpressed the hope that there would
soon be another "

vent the carrying out OF the plans &.

pany. 200 Of which stand on the books
IN the name OF Claus Spreckels and the
other 20 in the name OF III. L. Dodge.
but that the directors have refused to

ton Of foreclosing to the injury al the
