Burns Night Concert Was AL Bag Success The Opera House held a large and appreciative audience on Burns' Night, Monday, Jan. - 25th., ,to greet themany artists who kindly assisted. in making the concert in aid of the Arena, such a splendid success. The stage was artistically draped in tartan and the lady ushers, Misses Cori ne Sc'andrett, Marjorie 'Gurney, Eleanor McLean, Agnes McLean, Jessie' Tay- for and Harriette Sutton were real braw lassies in their highland cos tumes. Dr.. R, C, Redmond acted as Chair- men in his usual able manner and, be- fore calling on the first umber on the program spoke a few 'words in regard to.` Wingham's Arena. The doctor stated that this splendid building was built, as a community enterprise and not as a financial undertaking and should have the hearty support of all our citizens and went on to say that very few of us get enough pure, fresh air and exercise and if we want to be. healthy'and strong and keep away the germs of 'consumption, there is no better way than to inhale fresh air and no, more healthy .exercise than. skating and it is to the benefit °of each one of us and especially to our young people that we give the Arena our very best support and make: it a real success. All the numbers • on the program were filled and being such a lengthy' one, space will not allow us to men- tion, each one, hearty applause was gi- ven to all those who took part and while the solos of Messrs McKillop, Overend and Chapman of the C.P.R. and the dancing by the wee lassie, lit" tle Ruth Fowler of London and Mr. John McKinnon of Lucknow were much enjoyed• by all present, yet Wingham citizens are very proud and•justly so, of our own splendid tal- ent. and had there been given a prize for dancing, the Judges would have had an extremely difficult' task in awarding it. Harvey McGee, Huron County's ,"Harry Lauder" pleased the audience 'with his Scotch Songs, while Misses Sarah McLean and Bertha MacKay as well as Allister Forbes excelled themselves on Monday night and when Pipers James Ross and Ma- jor • Hanna performed the "Grand March of the Highlanders" one could imagine they had indeed wandered to the "Land of the Heather." Mrs. VanWyck as an elocutionist is in a class by herself and it is needless to say her readings were thoroughly en- joyed. n-joyed. The program closed by the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" by the whole troup and "God Save the. King" by all present and those who worked so hard especially Mr, T. J. McLean are to be congratulated' on the success of this concert, North Bruce Election Expenses Abstract statement of election ex- penses of Mr. James Malcolm, M. P.

The an- nual "At Hoene" at Oddfellows' Tem- ple, 229 College Street, Toronto, on Thursday evening of last week was voted by the five hundred in attend- ance as "t`he best yet:" For its sue,,-,: cess due credit must go to the,'enei getic president, Mr. B. B. McCreath, who was ably supported by an en- thusiastic executive •representative .of, all parts' of the county. As a fitting reward for weeks of planning,they ha- ve the'satisfaction•of knowing that the Huron County hospital funs will be in- creased by about .$200.00 which sum will represent the balance on hand af- ter the (expenses of theevening's en- tertainment are met. Cikief interest of course centered on the broadcasting of the dance music and the program by CFCA, the Tor- onto Star Station, The program op- ened with a speech by the President, B. H. McCreath, setting forth the aims of the Association, and sending greetings to Hu'ronites • everywhere. He then introduced to the Radio aud- ience prominent members' of the As- sociation, who sent messages to their Old Home Town, J. A. McLaren spoke' to Goderich; also J. F. Craig, Mayor of: Barrie spoke to Goderich, his old home tow; J. Daly to Seafor- th; Robt. Ilolmes to Clinton; Lack KKennedy to Wingham; N. B. Cobble - dick to Hensall and Exeter and Ed. Floody Blyth. .Mr. 5, A. McLaren then challenged anyone in the hall to a piano playing contest for a friendly bet, the looser to pay $15.eo to the. Huron Comity Hospitals and then proceeded to play a Jazz tune on a Hurdy-Gurdy. Art Forbes of Seaforth accepted the chall- enge and the contest was declared a tie and both charged $15.00. The Purity Flour Quartette under A. C. Chapman, forberly of Wingham was a fine feature, and reports front distant points saying that it was great- ly appreciated have been received. Burton Hill's Orchestra supplied the. music and there was plenty of pep and energy in their different numbers. The old time songs were particularly well rendered, and a long distance telephone request from a radio fan, for the Prisoners Song, was excep- tionally fine. 1VIr, Cameron Geddes, bass soloist, formerly of Lucknow, sang the solo parts for the Ye Olde Tyme waltzxes which were thrown on the screen and broadcast and the chor- uses sung by the dancers. At the conclusion, the audience san. "Old Lang Syne," and "There is no place Like Horne," and a letter frons Wing - ham states that the reception of this was particularly clear.., During the evening a number of special features were run off. One of these was an .Auto. Ride covering the different towns in the County, and the destination proved to be Pipers Dam. Miss E. Morrish was the luc- ky holder of this ticket. The ballroom dance was also a spe- cial feature, there being. six tickets for the prizes among the bolloons. The free fight that ensued to try . and ga- ther in one of the prizes brought back recollections of an old thne Irish bat- tle. Another attraction was a series of cartoons thrown on the screen, of some of the members. N. B. Cobble - dick was shown as an Undertaker so- liciting business. Ed Floody was seen enjoying himself in the cellar with some stills and a "Mash Kettle," J. A. McLaren was pictured as a Cob- bler for ladies only. John Robertson was seen guarding the .Treasury,, a picture' :of a Flapper with one tooth labled "Bruce County Flapper".There was also sonic short paragraphs on Major Joseph Beck and his good wife, Bob. Holmes, John Lyon and Art 1 orbee. . That the program ,was appreciated by a large number of people is attest- ed by the reception of a large nuntber of letters from former limonites, and a telegram was received itt 12./0 a.m, from ; Mr. and Taira, J, A.
