The latter showed marked ability in "The Lynching in Horse Thief Pass." The hold-up scene very reaiistically presented.

GIFTS 10 ORGANIST MISS LOUISE SINGLETON REMEMBERED. For Fourteen Years She Was With Queen Street Methodist Church --Was Loyal and Devoted in Her Work, On Thursday cvening, Miss Loins Singleton, the efficient organist of Queen Street Methodist church for the past. fourteen years, was presented--in view of her coming departure from the city for Winnipeg--by the congrega- tion with cabinet of silver tableware, with a suitable inscription on a vil ver plate on the cover. In addition to this the choir gave her a case of pear] handled knives and forks with her initials on them. The presentations were made in the church, following a supper tendered to the choir by the. ladies of the con- gregation. At aight o'clock many of (the church folks were present and en tjoyed an hour or more in social inter wurse, with light refreshments, | John Nicolle acted as. chairman and introduced a programme of speeches and music. At the proper moment C. +. DeCarteret read an address, breath- ing sincere regret at Miss Singleton's removal and expressing appreciation of her loyally "and devotion in past [vears. Mrs. Robert Crawford handed {over the cabinet. Capt. R. Crawford made reply, in his efficient manner, for Miss Singleton, after which addresses were made by Messrs. g A. Bateman, W. 8. Gor- don, W. J. Crothers and Rev. W. H. ' Sparling, all making felicitious re marks both of the organist and her excellent choir. The address presented | read : "Regretfully Queen street congrega- ition parts with you, even though it confidently entrusts into other keeping | your comiortable self.
