The very high tone of Mr, Gordon's programme in NorthsideUnited Church on Monday evening impress- ed his large audience strongly. Dr. Ross Savauge acted as chair- man for ' the evening, and between Mr, Gordon's numbers, musical selections were given consisting of a violin solo by R. J. Wegg; violin duet, Mr. Wegg and E. R. Crawford; solo, Jack Cud - more; orchestra selection, 'Robert Willis, Will Barber, and Alvin ISill- ery, accompanied by Mrs. Barber. Mr. Chas. Howey was accotripanist throughout the evening. Proceeds amounted to $57. •Mr. •Gordon has a peculiar knack of weaving into his humor odd bits of philosophy and wisdom that never failed tofind a mark. His firstnumber opened with a rag picture, which was 'followed by a water scene in colors,. both of which were accompanied with music. These he followed with several very fanny cartloons and a rapid fire of talk as he worked. :His second num- ber opened with some original verse, humorous, but carrying strong les- sons all through. `The -'third time he gave thea old musical monologue, "I Forget, I Forget," followed by a side- splitting impersonation of a woman, "Setreh Ann Green at the Tea 'Meet- ing." Next he gave an imitation of the closing exercises of the school of music and dramatic art, impersona- ting 7 or 8 characters including a ven- trilloquist. His last number was • tha impersonation of a dear old characa ter of his own creation, called. "Uncle Peter from Millersville," in which he did some clever magic, introduced funny monologue' and played a musi- cal saw,which- called forth hearty applause. 'Mr, Gordlon has been with Chautaqua three seasons and is engaged with Redpath Chautaqua for the coming season. The 'Ells Tuxis Square deserve every credit for the efficient manner in which the event was carried out, COLLEGIATE NOTES. Term Examination Results.

The Ladies' .Aid of Northside United Church Ma y'sut oFamily n the hA1bum,' s play, last Wednesday evening-in,.theschool room of the church before a 'large audience which thoroughly enjoyed every moment. 'In the first act, the village hostess showed her visitors the pictures in theold family album, and the second act consisted of an old fashioned quilting bee. A trio, "Grandfather's Shari ," e y s givenaMb Mrs. Lane, Cudtnore; a solo, "Grandfather's Clock," 'by Mrs. Lane; an Irish song, by Mr. Chapman, a reading by :lobs Hutchison, an address on `Women's Rights, 'by Mrs. W. G. 'Willis, and a Scotch dialogue by Mrs; T. Grieve and Miss S. Govenlock, were much appreciated as were also several vio- lin selections .by, Mr. T. also. 'The proceeds amounted to $100.' The play will be repeated next Tuesday even- ing, with a new musical programme such good things as were consumed and in such quantities. The ladies of Egnfondville congregation had al reputation to sustain and it was cer- tainly well -sustained, and even' en- hanced on this occasion, and gener- ous appreciation was manifested both by word and deed. Promptly et 8:15 the entertainment in the church auditorium was begun, from then not 10:30 p.m. the large audience that completely filled the church was treated to one of the best -balanced and most delightful Programmes ever presented in this community. With one exception, all those who took part were members of theEgmondville choir, andit was made very plain what abundance of good material for amateur entertain- ment we have within our own con- stituency. The musical part of the•programmeae consisted of choruses by the choir, solos by Mr. Young and 'Miss Jeanette Finnigan. !Ducts by Miss Grace Casentieri and Mr. Young and Miss Grace Casentieri and George Holgate, and several costume and character songs by different groups. While -paying full tribute to the gen- eral excellence of this musical .part of the programme, it is perhaps true that the keenest interest and ap- preciation were shown in connection with : the, presentation of "The Trial Scene" from "The Merchant of Ven- ice." The parts' were all excellently taken, the cast being as follows: The Duke --'Mr. Earl Webster. Shylock -'Miss Grace 'Casentieri. Antonio—Miss Vera Hudson. Bassanilo--Miss Jean Smith.
