First Monday in November was
"Rally Night" all over Canada, being
the anniversary of the Royal Templed{
of Temperance. It was most enjoy-
able with its music; vocal and instru-
mental, recitations Ond games, but we
would have liked on "Rally Night"
(and it is necessary) to hear some stir-
ring temperance song. The peogram
was as follows : Rev. James Anderson,
chairman. The first number was the
claairtnan's address, which was given
in Rev, Mr. Anderson's encouraging
and practical nnanner.. Miss May Hale
very naturally gave the recitation "We
have them on the list," a portrayal of
all the people who grumble at'every-
thing incouncil and out of it Miss
Whitely's. solo "May Morning,' showed
the volume of her voice togood ad-
vantage. MissJennieMcLaren made her
debut as a soloist, and sang very pleas-
ingly. The dialogue by Mr, Vim -
Attar, Miss Wyatt and Mauer Bert
Bale was the most humorous we have
heard for a long time,- "The train to
Mauro." • Miss yyatt, represented Mrs.
Buttermilk, Muster Bert Hale, her son,
and Mr. VanAttar the station master.
Miss Wyatt is very original. Instru-
niental duett "The silver wedding,"
was very, well executed upon the organ
by our rising musicians, Masters Colin
Campbell and Percy Tye. After an
intermission Miss Lillian Fraser, it
bright little daughter of Mrs. Fraser,
South street, gave very feelingly the
pretty recitation "Seeing . things at
night," a pretty childish poem by Eu-
gene Field. Solo by Mrs. Cobn Camp-
bell, "The Gift," a 'very appropriate
piece for "Rally Night." Miss Marion
Fraser gave the pretty recitation
"Little May's Wish" in a very credit-
able manner. Miss MeVittie's solo by
Arditi, "Beauty Sleep," showed that
that young lady has Much applause in
store for her, Rey. Mr. Anderson,
complimented Miss Wynn by saying
that the audience owed to her the
presence of the sweet singers. He also
called upon the reading of "Lettet's
