Wilson, W. Stewart, St.ible Bros., and the members of the C-versham Choral Society. The several items were well rendered and deservedly applauded. Miss E. French accompanied on the piano. At the interval the Chairman Baid he had a very pleasing duty to perform, having been asked by the ladie3 of Caversham to present colours to the dversuam Football Club. He complimented the club upon the result of their games last season, and su;»ge~ted that the members, before the season commenced, should give an afternoon at pick-and-shovel work on the reserve.
