Christmas Tree Eatertatnmant.
Industry hall was well filled on Mon-
day evening, December 22nd, the occa-
sion being the annual Christmas tree
entertainment given by Trinity church
Sunday school. The stage was nicely
decorated with festoons, mottoes, eta.,
flanked by two large Cluistmas trees.
The program was very full and attrac-
tive. No time was lost between the
numbers, thanks to Rev. Mr, Edmonds,
who proved an efficient chairman, The
children i iters acquitted theroeelves very cre-
ditably in the various recitations, dia.
bigots, etc. The Chrietmae carols,
under the direction of Mr. A. H. Plum-
mer, were very pretty and musical, and
added greatly to the enjoyment of the
evening. Perhaps the three most at-
tractive numbers ou the program were:
The three oriental kings in gorgeous
costume represented by three boys; the
Ping Pong drill by 10 young ladies, a
charming production, and the Cbrlgttnae
cantata represented by tour Santa -
Clauses, from east, west, north and
south and four groups of children. It
was elaborate and effective, and reflects
great credit upon Mr. Plummer and
Mise Edna Hamilton, The distribution
from the Xmas tree closed the proceed.

tinguished themselves at the tuck of
the hall l y throwing candies about to
the discomfort and annoyance of those
who happened to be hit, otherwiee the

would bo well on occasions of this kind
to have the constable stationed in the
hall to overawe these hoodlums,
