Despite the unfavourable weather conditions the building was well filled. The very lengthy programme was well received, as evidenced by the frequent loud applause of the audience. Songs were rendered by the Misses Anderson, Hill, Wood, Molfatt, Mesdames Oldham and Keane Messrs King, Wood and Master Loui9 Fenny, with pianotorte selections by Misses Oldham, McDowell and Robinson. Three little girls, Vera Newcombe, Annie Dufty and Olive Ballard, acquitted themselves very creditably in a part sang, "Cherry Kips," Jand also in a recitation "Enghnd, Ireland and Scotland," each of the performers being neatly dressed representing the respective countries. May Clark, a tiny tot, was loudly applauded for her recitation, "Babvland." A recitation by Jack Dufty was well received, whils Mr Jamea Sharp fairly brought the house down in the humourous rendering of "My Gill's Relations." On the conclusion of the concert tea and refreshments were handed round, after which the forma and stage were quickly removed and a very enjoyable time was spent in dancing until the small hours of the morning. Mr) Keane again presided at the piatn, and needless to 3ay gave entire satisfaction, whilst Mr Cecil Kern was entrused to the duties ot M.C., and acquitted himself to the satisfaction of all. The doortakings amounted to something over £5, which is very gratifying to those concerned.
