Ye Olde FoIkes Concerto

This entertainment, given by the
choir of the z. NJ. church on last
Friday evening. attracted an unusaI-
ly large audience, that literally
packed the spacious lecture room
which ordinarily seats about 500
people. Conservative estimates place
| the number in attendance at some
thing over 800 people. That the con-
cert was a success is admitted by all
who were fortunate enough to gain
| appreciation through the entire pro-
| gram, which lasted fully two hours.
The popularity and capabilities of
/ the choir leader Mr.. }. p. Hawkins
were never more fully demonstrated
! than in the success of this concert
| Few there are who have held this
difficult position for over a quarter
| Of a century and retain the good will
and esteem of both choir and congre-
! CATION through all the changes that
have taken place during that long
period.
To individuaIize as to the merits of
those who took part unnecessary,
as all performed their parts so
well as to meet unqualified approval.
! The members Of the choir are I'M
stinted in their praise of those who
SO generously assisted them in MAX
! ing their concert such splendid sue
! cess. Miss Jones singing was warmly
applauded and her popularity evil
/ denced by being recalled each
! time. Miss Sprague and Miss Han
kins mandolin and piano duet elected
! great praise from all, as did Mrs.
! Crum'S vocal solo and her very eX-
ceIlent make up of the typical old
woman, Mrs. fuckers speaking
piece was delivered in her inimitabIe
manner and brought forth storms of
| applause. Mrs. Grace in her role of
/ the Cornish woman evidenced her
familiarity with the true Cornish
/ dialect by he rendition of the story
/ of Jimmy Francis and His Offclide."
Miss Gales piano playing is always
! enjoyed, and her performance on
this occasion was in keeping with
her former efforts, and added much
/ to the enjoyment of the evening.
/ Messrs. Jno. Oates, Stacy Kitto and
/ Leslie Harker, as solists on the flute,
trombone and clarinet, added fresh
laWels to their fame as among our
best and most popular musicians.
The quaint costumes worn by the
/ choir and all who participated
/ evoked most complimentary COM
ment, and there was general won
| der where SO many really old gar
/ ments were to be found. Certain it is
/ that many 4 c0mely maiden and
wife was attired that night in gowns
worn by somebody's mother in the
long ago, and many of the older
people in the audience were carried
back to their childhood days by see
ing these costumes and hearing
/ again the good old songs they heard
in infancy. The general verdict is
/ that the P. NJ. church choir is second
/ to none, and the members may be
assured of an appreciative audience
/ whenever they announce another
/ concert. The concert Melted the
/ handsome sum of $4,000, which will
. be used in the purchase of new mus

paid for a number of improvements
and have reduced the debt $112.57,
leaving it $58375.
During the past year the company
has held regular meetings and drills
each month, and has been called out
to three fires within the last few
weeks. At two of these fires most Of
the boys were wet to the skin on ac-
count OF the lack of proper supply
of rubber coats. We are also badly
handicapped for the lack of neces-
sary apparatus. We therefore re-
quest that you supply the company
with the following articles:
shut-off play pipe nozzIes.
16.inch fireman's trumpets.
doz. fireman's rubber coats.
prs. " boots,
l dOZ. Ianterng.
6 belts
common hook & ladder straps.
dOz, hose wrenches.
We appreciate the financial condi-
ton of the city, and do not wish to
ask for more than is really neces-
sary. The boys have served faith
fully with no reward but censure
and abuse, and as both DodgeviIIe
and Darlington pay their firemen 81
per man for each fire they are called
ont to, so we ask that the city grant
us the same amount. This is but
small return to the firemen for the
damage done their clothing every
time they are called out, and should
be granted in addition to the 25c now
paid for drill duty.
At the fire of Mr.. Penberthy's we
were blamed for the unnecessary
destruction of property, when really
the greater part of the damage was
done by men who do not belong to
the company, and over whom we had
no control. We therefore request
that the Mayor appoint our linemen
as special police, and in that way in
