Local & General.

Last night the members of the Working Men's Club entertained their friends and families at a " social," when songs, &c., wero given greatly to the satisfaction of the guests.

The "Monster Jubilee Tea" held yesterday evening at the United Methodist Free Church, Sfc Asaph street, was well attended, many visitors taking advantage of the opportunity afforded them of rest and refreshment after the fatigues of sight-seeing. An excellent tea was provided, and was evidently much enjoyed. After taking their part in the Jubilee demonstration yesterday, the members of the Orange Society, marched back to their hall, outside of which they performed the ceremony of saluting the colourß of the Order in customary style. They then formed an "unbroken chain" and sang the National Anthem. Cheers were given for Her Majesty the Queen, the visitors, and the band, after which the brothren dispersed. In the afternoon the visiting members, with their wives and families — several hundred persons in all — were entertained in the hall by No. 4 District.

There wag a good house, especially crowded down stairs, at the Theatre, last night, to witness the performance of "The Sorcerer," in aid of the Jubilee Fund. Before the Opera commenced, Miss Fairhurßt came before the curtain, and sang "God Save the Queen." The various choruses of the opera went without a hitch, and some of the solos also went very well, Mr M. Gard'ner receiving an encore for his admirable rendering of the patter song " My name is John Wellington Wells." Miss Fairhurst: and Mr Atkinson also received encores, and Mr W. R. Benson was very successful in his rendering of the Vicar's song " A pale young Curate." The opera will be repeated on Friday night.
