Harvey: a pianoforte solo by Mrs Oatridge; a recitation by Mr A. Donovan; and an instrumental duet by Messrs Walker and Cobbald. The occompaniments were played by Mrs S. Lowrie and Messrs Walker and Cobbald. An old-time waltz competition was won by Aliss Bowyer and Mr Bob Evans. This was judged by Alesdames Harrison and Tuobey and Air G. Alace. The Alonte Carlo waltz was won by Aliss V. Gaskell and B. Smyth, and a guessing competition by To ram Abercrombie. Ah- and Airs J. Lawrence again presented a fine iced cake for competition and Air M. Best was the lucky winner. He generously returned the cake to net more profit.

Quite a deal of fun was caused by an impromptu concert in which anyone was asked for an item or forfeit,. This forced many an artist to bring out the “light hiddend under a bushel ” Naturally many a laugh was raised.

The “weather clerk” was kind to Hie committee this time as the condilions represented perfection—a beautifully fine clear.moonlight night in contrast with the wet evenings of the two previous functions. Air 11. Abercrombie in thanking all
