With artists like those whose names
appear on the above programme it is
needless to say a rare musical treat was
enjoyed. Prof, Fries favored us last year
with one appearance in public, and he
brought to us again that intense emotion
and Interpretation of the selection he
renders which carries an answering
thrill Of sympathy to the heart OF each
listener. To Prof. Hill We are under
renewed and ever-increasing obligations
each year, for we find him ever the same,
ready to use his great musical talent bot h
for our pleasure and profit, in church
services and entertainments kindly giving
US his help. Mrs. Peters has pleasing
voice, clear and musical, and was cordially
received, being encored in both selections.

PIANIST. Miss Kane is we'll known to the
pu bile here, and was generously applaud

talent.
On Saturday, Aug, II, the Parker
Point and the Bluehill mines played |
game of ball al the Point, which resulted |
in an overw helming defeat Of he Bluehll /
nine. Last Friday another game was
played at.the same place and was sup
posed to have been played by the same
mines, in material as Well as in name. But .
the fact is hat the Bluehill nine had re-
Inducements from outside, and thereby
greatly strengt hened their side, SO that
when the game was played last Friday,
the Parker Point nine was badly worst
ed. This action on the part OF the Blue
hill nine is said TO have caused cons ider-
able illfeeling. a large and fashionable
gathering witnessed the struggle.
