The Guild had the assistance of the following soloists : —Misses Paton, Young (solos and duets), Roberts, Allomes, and Messrs. Neverman, Greening, and Gillison. Mrs. McKenzie and Miss Allomes were responsiblo for two pianoforte duets. "The Three Stages of Life," was admirably presented in three tableaux, thoso taking part being Master Russell and little Miss Read. Miss P. Mclntyre, and Mr. Geo. Clark, Miss F. Grant, and Mrs. A. McSkimming. "An Old Time Romance" also proved a pretty tableau— Misseq I. Buckrel.l and E. Allomes, and Mr. R. London taking the parts. Mrs. Armour and Miss Clemence were responsible for a, delightfully amusing sketch, while "The Three Old Maids of Lee" provoked plenty of laughter. The proceedings closed with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne," and "God Save tho Kino- " .all voting the entertainment avery pleasant one.
