The decollations, by tho way, with the extra work of tho preparation of the refreshments, wore the work mainly of Mr and Mrs Milj-0 and Misses Knight and Wood. During the evening several of tho choruses from “ Trial by Jury ” wore givon under the conduotorship of Mr Lucas, tho Society’s accomplished pianists, Mrs Ward, presiding at tho piano.
