Vocal selections (solos) weregiven during the evening by Messrs Randle, Hickey, and Jones, Mrs Mills, Misses Clarkson, Miscall, and Dalzell. A trio entitled " Three old maids of Lee," by Mrs Mills and Misses Walker and Miscall caused a good deal of amusements Mr M'Farlaue contributed an Irish recitation, and in respons-e to an undeniable encore he gavethe side-splitting "Essay on a Polecat."
