Assisting in the, program were sante local artists. The opening num- ber was an organ number "In a Mon- astery Garden," by Mrs. Morgan, Ag- new, organist, and was followed by a quintette ,ley Messrs. J. C. Cooper, W. Match, W. Wallis, N. Bingeman and W: J. Hobbs. This was heartily applauded and they had to respond to an encore. _ Mrs. W, A. Oakes rendered'in her charming contralto voice two num- bers, being obliged to respond to an encase on each occasion.'

Hearn, who is always heard with pleasure, also gave a well - rendered ,soprano solo and was recal- led, so that' altogether the entertain- ment was of a high order. •Rev. 0.• WI.' D. Cosens acted as chairman and -Mrs. 'Morgan Agnew as 'accompanist for all the musical num- biers. LITTLE LOCALS, Mr. and Mtrs. PIumbtre and family have moved into Mr, R.
