"Rig Brother Bill,’ whose fame is growing every week, is at present conducting a limerick competition, and is receiving each day a large number of juvenile ciforts in this direction. Some of them show real poetic promise, and others are highly amusing. The winner of this competition is to receive 5s. from "Big Brother Biil."’ At 8 o’clock, following a relay of orchestral items under the conductorship of Mr. L. PD.

Bond (bass), Miss Mattie Fdgar (mezzo-soprano), Mr. R. B. Mac-’ donald (baritone), Miss Rita Holmes {mezzo-soprano), and recitations by Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hendry. Outstanding items at Tuesday’s concert will be flute solos by Mr. J. Stewart. A particularly interesting number will be Guill-Popp’s ‘‘Bogel Sang."? This represents, in a remarkable way, pipe music being played under water. Pastor W. D. More will on Tuesday again entertain listeners with a very amusing address entitled ‘‘In Praise of Cranks.’ It is understood that Mr. More has met a few of these and will proceed to tell you something about them, Among the performers at Thursday’s concert will be several well-known entertainers of the southern city.
