If Mr McCardle's frienas won't help such institutions as hospitals they might let them alone, they need not injure them !

Mr Colman then sang " Golden Love" in a clear, rich voice, which would have sounded to still bei ter advantage if the song had been given from the front of the stage. He secured the first encore of the evening. Miss Luxford followed next and was well received. Mr Grundy broko the musical monotony by a reading from Thomas Hood'B works.

Miss Nicol waß encored for a pretty valseßong. Mr Gant gave •' The Sweethearts," and in response to a re demand "The Chimes."
