Mr.. and Mrs. Howard were also ap-
plauded for their recitations. The

Merioneth was we'll rendered. Men
from the Star OF France, Gulf Stream
and Fort George contributed to the
program. Mr. Moss was we'll received
with his step dancing and nlouth-or-
gan selection.
Rev. Mr.. TubbS managed the affair
in a creditable manner. The refresh
ments were provided and passed
around by young ladies under the man
agement of Mrs Cooke. Nuts and can
dy were showered around amongst the
crowd, who quite appreciated the mo-

two and one half hours pleasant enter

You Till We Meet Again. and three
