Bpv. H. Evans, and Miss Moon; pianoforte solos by Misses Dierks and M. Alexander, and Mr Pritchard; address, Dr. Dunn ; recitations, Miss Alice McDonald and Mr Clauham; and chorus and songs bv the children. The programme concluded with the National Anthem.- after which supper was handed round, and then the floor was quickly cleared for dancing, which was kept up until the small hours of the morning, The total takings at the door (including sale of flowers by the girls) were nearly £9.
