Richard .Browne, who proved a most efficient all-round assistant,; gave " Carry me 'long," supported by the. ; choir. A reading by the" Rev. Mr. Wil-; liams followed, rather lengthy for such'an' extended programme, which:"the- reader honestly confessed. A ; pianoforte duet followed, played by the" MissVs Williams. Then came the gem of the. evening, the duet "The "Minute Gun," by Messrs. Browne and Morrison, which was very finely rendered. Mr. M'Oluskey was called upon to interpolate a short recita tion, followed by an excellent duet, " Sunny Memories," sung by Miss George and Master Williams;' I'he au- ■ diehce were delighted, and would hardly permit the Chairman i.o enforce, .as he was determined to, the law against a recall. Mr. Horswell folkwcd, and read a hymn of praise by the Devonshire poet Prince. Miss Williams again came forward, though sadly overworked, and sang the beautiful solo, "Lily's Good Night," Mr. Browne and Mr. werd thoroughly at

home in their well rendered sonss -'Hie Little- Shamrock." Mr. Bobinson'* read mi: of a chapter of history could hardly tail to bis appreciated—had it -come earlier in the programme it would have beeu enthusi astically received ,~ as it .was,.,some in fantile protestation's spoilt the best parts/ A pianoforte solo was played by Master Collett, who, although nervous at start ing, before he concluded the piece, showed great proficiency for the short time dur ing which he had been learning. An amusing song and chorus, the "Ten Little Niggers," followed—the more armising for the good humored failure on the part of Mr. Browne, who had..kindlv> undertaken to supply Mr. Rowlatt'V part, who was indisposed : not that Mr. Browne could not sing the piece,- but he could not at the last invent quick enough for the piano. So the audience were left in a dubious state as to what became of one little nigger if not two. After " God bless us all" by the choir, a loyalßriton demanded the National An them, which concluded the evening's amusement. Miss M.Baird was unfortu nately not able to give a recitation owing to indisposition.
