The evening was extremely bright and lively, all members assisting, either by giving impromptu solos or joining in combined items. Mrs. J. T. Thompson won a question competition, and also a tennis wedding competition, Mr. G. Sloan being her partner, in the latter; and a kitchen utensil competition was won by Mrs. James Parkinson. Supper was provided by the lady members of the orchestra. Mr.•lan Thompson, conductor of the orchestra, presented Mr. Pearce with two very handsome cut-glass fruit bowls on behalf of himself and fellow-members, who all wished Mr. Pearce and. Miss Mottram a very happy future. Mr. Pearce replied, saying how very much he had enjoyed his association with the orchestra as one of its members for the past three years, and that he hoped he would long remain one.
