The opening song ' and chorus was sung by , the Spinsters themselves, 'The Long, Lon" Trail," and Miss Shepherd followed with a clever musical monologue, ' of which she played the accompaniment J herself/ Miss Watkins and Mrs. " Withers each contributed piano solos, o the Misses D. Isaacs and Stuart and r Mrs Hyams sang, and there were r more recitations and dancing and s choruses, which made the .time pass l most pleasantly. When the concert •] was finished, Mr. Smith thanked the - Spinsters (for. their entertainment, and also for the handsome bookcase t which had been recently presented by thcin to tho club.
