F. Hall was pack- ed to the door when the much talked of contest between the above mention - nationalities took place. Although it was long past the hour announced before program commenced, for up- wards of 2 solid hours the audience sat, like Patience on a monument, giving the best of order and only that encores had been tabooed they might not have got home until daylight. The Irish repreeentaliveti took the first half hour in song, story and in- strumentals put on under captaincy of Jno, Stewart, on a fine, series. Then the Scotch were led to the attack by Doc. Kirkby, and piped, sang and re- cited to the pleasure of tete et'owd. At it the Emerald lade and lassies put on their second lap well sustaining the land of prattles and buttermilk for 30 minutes. The thistle combination had the last closing half hour andmade gcod use of the flying mnnutea in their deans to cony off t he c soared honors. The program was well varied, every- body did splendidly and the interest never lagged. Many occasions were given for a heart d applause nn a y laugh g was not stinted by tanymeans. There were 8 judges, all ut is ere, who rend- ered their verdict ir' favor of the Scotch. This is the 2,. d' Contest and the sides have scored ,nue goal each.
