A’m tele on vera guid authority dial great preparations iiae been made tae try tac gao a’body as guid a time o’t as possible that nielli, and A m some dootin’ that aifter seeiu’ iioo the Soc.otj can con due’ a concert and dance'we’ll be being pester’d wi’ fouk sockin’ anitiler ane. A large Co-nut-tee o’ Ladies liae the limit ter o’ the provsesions ui ban’, an’ accordin’ tae rat A’m belt there’ll be abundance o

meat tae satisfee fine maisi fasteediouc appetite, an’ tha maist pernickitie o iwuk as week There's nae doot but

that tire , concert programme is gaun tae be a guid ane, scoiiT we’re gaun tae hae a’ Hie best o’ the Scotch gangs and sung tae, by fouk that can sing,

mleeve we’re gaun tae g t

some exhibeeshuris o’ Jdigulun’ dancing by lower Scotcn lassies frae Inglewood, and’ by a chiel frae Hawera,

ivmcu cmel A ken by ma ain ecu can

due’s steps rifeht brawly an’ weed. A lady true Wellington, by name Madam Ui'oome, wiia is a noted singer o’ Hen ceil sangs, is tae contribute tae oor nicht’s amusement, and Miss McNab, wha is weel cueuch kent tae Strati ord iouk no tae need any praise frae me, is also tae gie’s a sang or twa.

Several local ladies and gentlemen a’ o’ whom are weel kent tae be guid singers are gaun to sing, ae speeshn! attrackshuxt neing this male quartette and A believe tlioy’re gaun tae gie’s

“Annie Laurie.” A’m sure this is gaun tae be a programme the like o’ wnich lines never been seen in Stratford afore, an’ A’m wool satisfied that a’body (whether Scotcn or no) ’ll he muckle pleas’diwi’t. Anither speeshul ar-tracksnun %'ifl be the Pipe Ban. wha’ll hae a’ their regimentals on, an’ A’in'telt there’s likely tae be ahoot a dizzen o’ them. Ma certes, it’ll he gran’. The dance aifter the concert will aoe doot he as muckle enjoy’d by a’body as the concert, for A believe that there’s : tae be two or three Scotch reels and sic like dances on the hoards, alt ho’ the Co-mitt Go dinna wint fonk tae rin awa wi’ the idea that a’ the dances are garni tae he Reels and s’c like, but seein’ that Maistcr Bees ley’s Orchestra frae Eltblim haes been engaged for the evening, fonk will sec
