The late Colonel Malone .though in the firing line, did not forget old friends, as was shown at the meeting of the Stratford County Council today. when a post card was received by the chairman from the late officer commanding the Wellington Infantry Battalion. The post card was a picture' of a section ol Constantinople., and contained the following message: “Quinn’s Post, Gallipoli Peninsula, 18-7-f. - ). Kind regards to you and staff; all’s well here—Win. G. Malone.” On Saturday the “Dardanelles Market and Refreshment Rooms” will again be opened for business at the C.B.A. Buildings in Broadway. The Ladies’ Patriotic Committee are working in the interests of Wounded Soldiers./ and gifts of all kinds will h« thankfully received at the Market, which will he run by Mesdames McQuay and Sangster. Last Saturday the Market. held by Mesdames Skoglund and Malone was a great success, and no doubt this week’s will he even greater. Mesdames McQuay and Sangster have been very busy this week getting donations of produce, preserves, jam etc., and residents can rely on a wide choice and plenty of variety in the “stock.”

The programme for the grand Catholic social to be held in the Town Hall, Stratford, to-morrow night is of a very varied nature, and should please the most exacting patron. The revival of “La Petite” ballet by the Cinderella Juvenile Company was a happy thought, and to prophesy that this bevy of young ladies will have to answer to insistent demands for an ■ encore one will not require to lie a prophet. Another specialty is the reproduction of some songs of that popular, exponent of Irish Doone. A company of talented singers too numerous to mention in this notice may he depended upon to do full justice, to the several items. “Zealandia Weeps,” original lines on tlie war by , Mr A. F. Wilson, of Stratford, is sure to: appeal Ito all whefi muted by tho author! Cortiedy will he in the hands of Mr J. fe. Brtwe; Which is ! sufficient recommendation. The tnusic for the dance will he supplied by Mr Fox, the talented musician at His Majesty’s Theatre’.

1 ' The object of the grand concert in the Town Hall this evening is a specially worthy one—for no less a purpose than to assist “the hoys who helped the Colors.” This in itself should fill ithe hall ’to overflowing, hut if anything else !is waiited to drag out the dilatory in! well-doing, a reminder of the exceptionally talented artists who figure'‘on' l 'the programme should act as a fine tonic. Tj\o the persons of Mrs Phil Nathan, of Wellington.! and Miss Peat, yvho is, knotyji as the English Song Bird and Jatejof English concert halls, claim (Specialnotice by reason of their references, hut the local talent, viz., Mrs Massey, Miss Sangster, Mr F. Foley, Mr A. S, Martin, and Mr E. G. Allen have vocal and histrionic powers peculiarly their own and particularly attractive. The entertainment has been well named “the concert of the year,” for which popular prices are being charged, with the option of reserving seats by the payment of the small sum of sixpence.
