The Grotesque Guards made their first
appearance on this evening and received
an encore. 1t was novelty, as thing
like it had ever been given in st. Johns
bury.
On Friday evening was given the dra-
ma in two acts "The Little Daughter of
the Regiment" and considering the short
time in which it was prepared, it was a
credit to the little folks who took the
parts. The Ladies Quartette gave an
other pleasing song. The solo by Miss
Dorothy Brown was well executed
and much enjoyed, but the work OF
little Mary Gilmore must be considered
as marvellous. Mary is only three years
old, yet she sang the solo, Daddy

great effect, and gave as an encore
Sunny Tennessee Walter Roach sang
another character song, and as usual
carried the house with his versatility.
Saturday evening the quartz tie ap-

Glynn gave duet. Henry Webber, the
bow pianist was on tie program and his
number was much enjoyed He is a
marvel and his sweet tones and delicate
work prove that he has a great future
before him as a master of the piano.
The bazaar closed with the awarding
of prizes. The bazaar was a great sue
