The tea tables were presided over by the teachers of the San-day-school, full justice being done to the good things provided by those present. Later in the evening music was introduced. The choir rendered an anthem, and Misses D. Crowther and S. Allen and Mr. T. Howe gave songs. A quartette was contributed by Misses Brookes, Fordyce, Miller, and Dinnison.

Parker. The Revs. G. B. Monro, A. Mc(Jallum, and McPherson addressed the meeting. The evening closed with the usual votes of thanks.
