The Youths' Institute Entertainment.
It is duly announced that on Monday night the first entertainment of the above Institute will be given. The objeot being to provide funds for the purchase of the instruments for the band. The Institute deserves the warmest support of all and we trust this initial effort will be met with a bumper house. The entertainment will open first of all with a Christy performance of eighteen members, who will give the usual songs and jokes customary with Etheopian performers. After the Christy business there will be several vocal songs, sentimental and comic, and instrumental solos, by amateurs sympathising with the object of the Institute. The fin ile will be a farce in which the parts will be taken by members only. The Institute has filled a long-felt want, having provided a healthy. and
pleasant way for the lads of the town to spend their evenings. The Instifcute is opened twice a week at the HalHor two hours, the first hour id devoted to military drill, under the able instruction of Mr Alf. Fraaer. The other hour is spent in reading, games, and training in masio and singing to enable the members to take part in Bimilar gatherings to the one arranged for Monday night. The Institute Went away with a start and has been steadily improving, and the mußter»roll is now 68. The Rev. R. Yoang is a regular attendant at. these meetings as well as Mr Alf, Fraser and the secretary, Mr F. Eure. To these gentlemen the members are much indebted as well as are their parents, and it behoves us to show this in the right spirit by attending the performance on Monday night. Tickets have been printed and placed in the hands of the members to sell, and this should be an easy task. The Institute is a boon, and the object for which the money is needed is a good one. The instruments arrived by the lonic, and will be here by the next trip of the Queen of the South, after which the town will soon resound to the music of a drum and fife band.
