The following programme was interspersed with community singing of several appropriate hymns, recitation, by Dawne Williams; recitation, Phyllis Milton; a temperance talk by Mrs Weir; recitation, Madge Banks; recitation, Dawne Williams; recitation, Mrs G. McKenzie; recitation, Madge Banks. The social hour was happily spent in games, and supper concluded a very jolly evening, 500 Tournaments.
