The programme was contributed to by the following : — Mrs Caldwell, who played two pianoforte selections ; Mr W. B. Giesen recited " All's well that ends well " ; Mr DeLisle sang " Mary of Argyll " ; Miss L. Roe sang "Love's old sweet song"; Mrs Prior " Cleansing fire " ; Mr Treseder, " Simon the Cellarer," and " Get yer 'air cut," in response to an encore ; Miss Giesen, " The Gift " ; Mr Carty, " Bedouin love song " ; Miss E. Roe, " Old Madrid " ; Mr Greenwood, " The "Wolf ; Miss Diamond, " Alice, where art thou," a verse being repeated as an encore ; Mr Downey recited " Song of Home." The accompaniments were played by Mrs Ualdwell, Misses Giesen, Roe and Greenwood , and Mr S. Moore. During an interval ' refreshments were handed round. At ( the conclusion of the programme, Mr J. H, Stevens expressed the pleasure the committee felt at seeing a large attendance, and thanked those who had contributed to the programme.
