Herbert; song, Mr J. Maunton (which was uproariously encored and responded to); recitation, Mr Ingleneld ; duet, Mr D. Arrowsmith and Miss B. Paynter ; song, Mr Bleasdel. The music for the concert was snpplied by Mrs H. Matthews and Mr G. Marsh (piano), and Mr H. Herbert (violin).

Paynter, dark grey ; Miss B. Paynter, black skirt, light bluejacket, and blue sash ; Miss Andrews, black skirt and white jacket. The duties of M C were performed by Mr J. Henderson in a very creditable manner. The O M heard that Mr Petrie lost several spoons during the evening, but if he had come in to the hall he would have seen several of them in the corners. .Wasn't J B doing it nicely with C G?.. Didn't A H and J seem to enjoy their waltzing. .BP and GAS seem to be tired of spooning. .Why didn't J H bring D N to the dance. .Why didn't M L wait for the dance. Was it because W B was not there.
