The Toronto NeaUs says of Miss Sara
Lord Bailey, who is to give an enter
tainment at M. e. church, Tuesday ev
ening, Jan. Is, "Miss Bailey's elocu
tionary efforts were a revelation, and
she proved herself the ablest elocu-
ZIONIST who has visited Canada since
the days of Mrs. Scott Siddons."
The second entertainment fin the
course, Harvard Quartet and Miss
Chamberlin, whistler, drew a crowd
ed audience at the hall, about 900 be-

a wonder. She almost excels the
birds in tone and variety.
