The chair was dccupled by our gepial Dr. who as usual gracefully did its honors. The musical part of the programme was conducted under the leadership of Miss Nellis Lackner, who not only played most of the accompaniments but sang with great. Acceptance. Among the items the following ‘numâ€" bere were well tondered: Solongy Miss Nellie Lackner, ‘Ever so far away"; chorus lay Male quartette, ‘Toe Minute Gun at Sea‘; duet by Miss N Lackner and Miss Shelly, ‘On the Old Missouri shore‘; duet by Esther Sfi« and Mabel Ballard, ‘Little Black Me‘; song by ‘Miss Nettle Donald, ‘Sing Again that aweet Refrain‘; instrumental murio Wwas & special feature of the programme.
