Musical items were contributed during the evening by Miss K. Nealon, Messrs. M. J. Burgess, Duncan, MacDonald, V. Madden, E. McSherry, and M. J. Moriarty. Refreshments were handed round by the ladies, a very successful evening terminating with the singing of ‘ Auld lang syne.’ Messrs. J. Lennon and T.
