The Star. MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1898. SUMNER NOTES.
[Fp.oll Our Correspondent.! Sumner has not come to the end" of its resources yet, as fat- as getting up amusements to attract people to the place goes. Our Fete Committee is taking great pains to make the thing a success; The programme is now published, and I hope there will be a large number of entries for all events. We shall see Sumner at Easter with five hundred volunteers parading the streets. It is certainly an ideal spot for an encampment, and I should think the men are all glad it has been chosen, as it is much warmer than other places, and the nights, are beginning to be rather chilly for camping out. The entertainment in aid of the public school picnic to be given by the Amateur Dramatic Club is to take place to-morrow, and I sincerely hope there will be better weather than at the last performance this club gave, when the rain descended in torrents. H. C. Merivale's little drawingroom piece, A Husband in Clover, and Tom Taylor's Twenty Minutes itith a Tiger, are to be given ; also a comic monologue by Mr F. C. Eaphael. Surely such an attractive bill, to say nothing of the object for which this entertainment is got up, ought to draw a large audience. Last, but not least by any means to some people, there is to be the ever-popular dance.
