Miss Joy *ang an adaptation of the "Rose, Shamrock and thistle." which appealed to the audi- unce and was thunderously applauded. ^*a strongly demanded encore, Miss Joy sang the beautiful prayer, written by Rer W .). Hunter, D. D., which ap- pears a> an introduction to this item. Rev. Mr Thorn gave a short, pithy ad- dress and MIHS Chnstoe sang sweetly, "The Maple Leaf' assisted ui the chorus by the Glee Club and audience Then came another short address by Rev. Mr. Darroch and a splendid solo by Mrs. Sheppard, "The Englishman," after which Miss Richardson recited a touch- ing piece, "The song of the camp," a scene in the Crimea. There wan at least i one Crimean veteran intheau uence, who appreciated this piece as none of the others could, and who remarked that he could again hear the bullets whistling during ita recital. Mr. Bamhouae gave that now popular and rousing song, 'Sol- dier* of the Queen" assisted by a select company of the soldii-rs themselves. This was one of the choicest pieces of the ev- ening Then caine. an address by M Richardson, Eaq., who went quickly and clearly over the causes of the present w-j- and cited the principal events in con- nection therewith, and clotting with the ventured information that at that mom- ent British soldiera were marching the streets of Bloemfontem, capital of the < 'range Free State. As a matter of fact the news that such was the caae arrived at" Cape Town at ten o'clock 'hat evening and at London half an heur Liter. Mr. Richardson's address waa very highly ap- preciated by all, combining eloquence, simplicity of language, and giving a very clear conception of the stirring events of the past six months. Mr. W. Smith, night operator at the station, sang anoth- er new patriotic sonu;. "Tho Strathcoua*," aad although encores were strictly tab- ooed he waa asked to give one ami respon- ded with a comic Irish song. Mies Ida (>jerdium rendered "The Revenge " and well sustained her urowmg reputation as an elocutionist. Then came another of the gems of the evening by Mrs. Black- burn and the (ilee Club, with a realistic camp scene, "Tenting on the Old Camp (around." An instrumental piece on the gramophone "Soldiers of the Queen, fol- lowed, and an intensely realistic tableau, "The Dying Soldier," ended a pixigram of unusual interest. Large numbers were present from outside points, includ- ing many from Markdale. Priceville. Eugenia, etc. The energetic committee have much reason to congratulate them- selves upon the great success attending their effort*, an a magnificent sum was raised for a good and humane cause.
