After full justice had been done to the
viands the tables were cleared and speak
ing and music began. The president, Mr..
William c. Crawford, who has made an
ideal presiding officer, first introduced
Washington Howes, Esq, who fell at once
into reminiscent mood, and his remarks,
interspersed with quiet humor, gave much
pleasure to every one.
A brilliant waltz for piano, given by Miss
June K Hills, served to display her fine
technique and powers of expression, after
which Mr. Crawford introduced Mrs. Han
nah L. Dyer, who years ago was a school

decided feature of the evening.
Miss Florence Jones of Rockland, Me-,
accompanied by Miss Hills, next gave two
well contrasted violin solos, and her fine
tone and expression gave great pleasure.
Mr.. Clarence Billings, the well known
entertainer, in monologue kept the COM
pany convulsed with laughter, which was
repeated later when he gave song and
some stories. We believe Mr.. Billings has
appeared in Belfast, SO that his abilities as
mirth-maker are we'll known to the resi-
dents
The last speaker was Hugh d. Mcclellan,
Esq, one of the younger generation, and
his remarks were well received, after which
Miss Jones gave the beautiful "Berceuse
from Jocelyn" by Go lard, and then came
Mr.. Billings final number.
This ended the program, and after Mrs.
A. L. Mckeen had moved vote of thank
to the outgoing president, the leave-takin gs
began: and by eleven o'clock the second
annual dinner of the Belfast Club was an
affair of history.
