Tan ClA.RTA.TA.-The sacred, cantata Esther, was giveti in the Methodist church on Tuesday evening under the direction of George W. Cline, of Wingham.

The choruses were good'and their excellent rendering aid- ed not a little in making the cantata thoroughly appreciable.

It aboanded in pretty effeets and pleasing music and many charming tableaux. THE BICYCLE RACES, --The bicycle races here on July 12th, were the most successful ever held in the county.
