ing and speech,
The'laltie band played national airs
from about half past seven until the
concert commenced -and Clinton is
quite proud `of its band ,and likes to
heat it play on any occasion,
The program was also a good one,
and was mucic appreciated by all pre-
sent Indeedit seemed to many to
prove that the bringing in of a trig
concert ccinrpany was a sheer waste
of money when local talent of such
a high order could be obtained, Of
course the object brought out the
very best.
Mr. J. Ransford, president of the
Board of. Trade, occupied the .chair.
That he did it gracefully, saying the'
right word in the right place and
keeping the big audience in a • good,
humour, no one who knows that pat-'
riotic and loyal Britisher will for • a
moment doubt. Ile also read with
much effecta short poem which .was
published in, one. cif the city papers
last 'week relating to the war.
The first number was a chorus groin
the mole choir who occupied places
upon the platform and whose hearty
singing, under the direction of •Pro-
fessor Bristow, was highly apprecia-
ted.
Among the other numbers were a
Solo. "Soldiers of . the British Em-
pire," by bir. Edgar (last, who hail
to respond to au encore ; "Soldiers
of the King" by Mr: 0, E. Dowding
and` the male chorus ; "I Have No
Song to Give You," Miss Barbara
Melvor, who also gave as an encore,
"My Highland Laddie," "Rule Brit-
annia"
ritannia" and "0 Canada" by the chor-
us and. "Its A Long Way to '.Tipper-
aryl": by Mt, Stewart Jackson • anti
the chorus, who gave a5 an theme,
"The Red, White and Blue."

The address of the evening was giv-
en by Rev. J. K. Fairfull, who spoke
on '"British Fighting Machines and
Ho'w They • Are handled." This ad-
dress was very fully reported in The
News -Record a few weeks ago, when
it was delivered before the Brother-
hood of Wesley church, and it is a
most interesting one.

Mary Johnston. 'flits house, •which
was built' of hewed logs, was erected
by Mr. 1 ode, father of Mrs, .3. `T.
Harland, who was; one of :Clinton's
earliest settlers and the dwelling was,
for many years the Houle of the lam
ily. Later it was sided up and an
addition buiit to the back and no
doubt many were unaware of the fact
that the originai.building . , was of

logs until the vyeatherb at n siding
was torn off. A new dignity clothed
the old landmark, which has been
more' or less of an .eyesore to the
property holders on the street, when
its shell was removed and there are
those who regret its removal as .one
of the oldest if not the oldest build-
ing in the town.
