The musicale given for the benefit OF

house Friday evening was q success in |
every way but financially. The in
clement weather was probably respon-
sible for the light attendance. From
the opening piece by the orchestra
until the finale OF the programme was
rendered the audience was caPtiVated

tionally fine, and @Oriental Echoes" q
beautiful tWO-step, had TO be played
the second time to pacify the music
