A friendly conversation for ten minutes followed, after which the farce, " My Turn Next," was presented. The cast was as fol lows : —Mr Teraxicum Twitters (a nervous apothecary), Mr H. P. Burns; Tom Trap (a commercial traveller), Mr T. G. Hosking; Tim Bolus (assistant to Twitters) Mr Elliott; Farmer Whatear, Mr Piggott; Mrs T. Twitters, nee Mrs Brown, Mrs Spencer; Cicely (her sister) Miss Vicary ; Peggy (Twitters's housekeeper, etc.;, Caulier. All the characters were well sustained, and the whole play went with force ana swing from start to finish. Much applause followed, and the programme was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem Afterwards supper was handed round. A short programme of epv-n dances terminated this very enjoyable evening. Mrs Hoi den, Messrs Thompson and Mr Jacobsen provided the music. About £l4 was taken and as admission was fixed at the very moderate sum of Is 6d, it was easily seen that the hall was well filled. The Rev. G. S. Wayne just before supper called on the audience to proclaim thanks to those ladies and gentlemen who had worked so hard to make the evening a success.' This v/as given by acclamation.
