Aside from the wortbiness of the object the affair was indeed a most meritorious one, and at once de monstrated the fact that there Is settle - taut talent in Exeter for any emergeu ey, aud that our artists can more than hold their own as entertainers with the average outsiders. The Club is purse ly local, and while it was their first ap- pearance before an audience, it may be truly said that it was a most credit able ,attempt at dramatie see mplish meat. The play: has all the thrilling accessories wbicti the title of it would indicate The parts of Eva Thornley by Miss Ball were reudered with ex- ceptionally tine grace and her emotiote al powers find the fullest exercise. Bob Brittle by M. Vineeut, a very heavy part, was most cleverly portrayed, and bis dramatic proclivities mark Min a star in theatrical performance. Miss Urquhart was an important character, end did her parts well, as did alae Mist Dennis In fact, all did their parts so well that it is almost unfair to particu- larize.

It is indeed a marvel of in- genuity and skill, and does its work' with decided ease and rapidity. This is now one of the best equipped mitts in. Western Ontario, and it all comes from manufacturing and turning out a good article, such as this mill has a world-wide reputation for. Notwithstanding the abseuce of the Electric Light, the song service of Xmas. night in the Main St, Methodist church, proved to be very pleasing and profitable. The cbureh was tilled, The church choir sang several new and appropriate anthems. The solos by Miss Ida Johns, Miss Maggie White and Mrs. Garish were rendered with very pleasing effect.
