L. , No. 244, given At Proton, on Friday, January 29, was pronounced one of the grandtst con- certs over given at Proton under that order. The evening was an excellent specimen and the roads being in a fair condition and a good audience witnessed the treat. The program was an excellent one, and will, doubtless, be recorded us the beet OiAiiite concert ever given at Proton. Indeed tho brethren should feel proud of such a well rendered and choice program as given that evening. Mr. Win Sharp occupied the ehair- and addressed the audiencein an able manner. Mr.Logan, comedian, of Owen Sound, was ouo of tho stars. Mr.Logan is a line sini-er and is worthy of being called an excellent enter- tainer. The Haw brothers fully tilled the musical part of tha concert. We might sty right here, the music was the finest we have had the privilege of lislenine to for Home time, and the able manner in which the boys delivered each selncticm, caused it to be listened to with inteuse in- terest and was uproariously applauded. Mr. R. J. Pedlar, Eugenia, comic enter- tainer, also filled tha bill and created great laughter by his witty manner) and cer- tainly delighted tho audience. We ore sure with a little vocal training Mr. Ped- lar will be classed as one of the best confedians and entertainers that an audience would wish to hoar. Mr. W.T; Pedlar gave a few of his old sonj^s by a special request, which wore much appreciat- ed, especially by those who are not lovers of the comic class. Mr. Haney favored, the audience with a few select violin solos. He is certainly well gifted as a violinist. Mr. O. O. llrooks gave a few readings, which Were appreciated to the greatest extent, as they wore delivered in a excel- li:ni manner, The awlieiico then dis- persed after singinn the National Anthem.
