A GLORIOUS RESPONSE.— The
patriotic spirit found a responsive
cord in the hearts of many citizens
on Friday night last when thiel Fest-
iva! of Nations was given ,in the way
of an entertainment in the Dome Rink
under the auspices of the Ladies of
the Patriotic League. The weather
was anything but promising all day
owing to the heavy rains, but it
cleared up about six o'clock, bright-
ening the prospects and the citizens
turned out in large numbers, until
the great building was pretty well
filled, and it was estimated that there
were over 600 people in attendance.
To the members of the League is
due the credit for this thoughtful
move to supplement the subscriptions
and various contributions already sent
in from Exeter. But altogether aside
from the worthiness of the ;object the
entertainment was a most creditable
one. Refreshments were served at
booths, representing the different na-
tions by ladies in national ,costume
the conveners being as follows*_
Great Britain. •Mrs. ''A. Hastings;
France.:Mrs. G. Manson; Canada, .Mas.
Yeo; Belgium, Mfrs. L. H. -Dickson;
Australia Mrs. F. Wood; Russia, Mrs,;.
F otwell ; Italy, Mrs. J. N. rloward ; <
Japan. Mas Knight. Tableaux, repre-
senting Great Britain and her allies,
were interesting features, and were
taken as follows'"—Britain, Miss D,
Dickson; Belgium, Miss E. Phillips;
Canada, Miss B. Boyle; France ,Miss
E Moncur: Australia, Miss Ila ,John-
stop• Russia, Miss C. Dyer; ' '`It-
aly Miss Jessie Manson; Japan, ,Miss
Lula. Halting. The grand march, corn
prised of the ladies occupying . the
booths, and others, headed by ' Mr.
N. D. elurdon as marshall, was admi+r-
ably performed and was an Lnteirest
Mg and imposing featuretse Tbee. Cit-
izens Band interspersed, beatitifutti'nus-
in. amgm their s'electionsebetii ,the
national airs of the allies. God " Save
the King played by the Band, brought
fli4c interesting program, ' to a close. On
Saturday night; a •repetition of the
previous night was carried out and
seas also largely' attended. The' pro-
ceeds of Friday -night' amounted to'
over $300.00, while that of Saturday
night was over $70,00.
