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. ings at 10.80. A few young men dis- 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 evening pealed off most enjoyably. It would bo well on occasions of this kind to have the constable stationed in the hall to overawe these hoodlums, ROLiDAF VISITORS. During the past few days Blyth homes have welcomed many visitors.
