Among; the many pleasing incidents at Grand Bend Park was a literary and musical concert, on the evening of July 26th, which was improvised by several lady and gentleman campersat this popu- lar resort. By request, the Rev. H. D. Steele, rector of Port Stanley, who was spending a brief holiday at his favorite mid -summer retreat, presided as chairman. There were present, about 400 people, most of them young people of both sexes, who were seated on benches arranged in the form of an amphitheatre. The scene presented was quite weird like, there being a large bonfire in the centre of the spac- ious ground near the cottages, while the surrounding trees were festooned with Chinese lanterns, which threw a genial glare of light upon the sea of happy faces. .After a few opening re- marks by the chairman, the several numbers on the programme were an- nounced, comprising songs, recita- tions, solos and quartette, also a read- ing, a monologue and an instrumental selection on the guitar and mouth or- gan. It would be invidious to particu- larize, and to specify the names of the several amateur performers, who all did their part so well. The program was quite varied and well sustain- ed throughout, commencing with "Auld Lang Syne," which was joined in by all present, and concluding, by request of the chairman, with the National Anthem. A vote of thanks to all who took partin the proceedings was heartily responded to, and the company dispersed quietly between 10 and 11 p. m., all being apparently well pleased with the evenings euter- tainment. Perfect order was main- tained throughout, nothing beyond a moral police being necessary to pre- serve the hitherto good name of Grand Bend outings. BraveMen Fall.
