One of the best concerts in the his- tory of the Portsmouth penitentiary was held on"Friday afternoon. The programme was given by the con- victs and was well rendered. Those who took part are to be compliment- ed on the high standing of their con- tributions. A representative of the Whig. who accepted the kind invita. tion of Warden J. C. Ponsford, was delighted wifh the performance. Six hundred and eighty-two men and wo- | men who are serving sentences were | assembled under one roof to listen to the concert. The! oldest inmate, who is seventy years of age, was present, and there were many under the twenty-year mark. The chair- man for the occasion was a convict named Huffman, who presided in a | very capable manner. Any person | who has any doubt as to the popular- ity of the warden of the Portsmouth penifentiary should have been pre- sent and listened to the applause when he spoke to the convicts. Warden Ponsford, when called upon by the chairman for a few words, sald that he was glad to he afforded the privilege of explaining a few things which were of vital in- terest to the men confined to that institution. He referred to the to- bacco, which is now being issued, not being just what it should be, and stated that he had taken the matter up with the department at Ottawa. He could assure the men that in the very near future they would be back to MacDonald's tobacco and cigarette papers. When he uttered these re- marks, the applause was deafening and lasted for a considerable time. Warden Ponsford referred to the change from the striped uniform to a plain one, and he said he was sure this change wag very satisfactory to all, He stated that the department of justice, and the prison superinten- dent had decided to purchase the moving picture ma¢hine, which was used at the concert and that he was going to recommend that a concert Ibe held each month during the win- ter and occasionally during the sum- mer months. The convicts screeched out their approval at this suggestion. An excellent orchestra furnished a programme during the afternoon, and the "community" singing was one of the main items of the pro- gramme. The singing was led by a man named Froman, who certainly showed that he knew how to conduct. An orchestra composed of Sherwood Upton, Chapman, Wills, Sagenafs, Hebert, Halliday and Hudson, de- livered a splendid programme. This orchestra has been under the diregp- tion of Guard Otten and during the few weeks they have had available for practice they have made gréat headway. 3 The concert was held in the Pro- testant chapel which was beautifully decorated in keeping with the Christ- mas semson. The Christmas spirit was certainly manifested. Only three or four convicts who were confined to the hospital through illness were not present. Several reels of mov- ing pletures were shown, including Charlie Chaplin in "Behind the Screen," and it produced roars of laughter. There are many noted musicians and entertainers in the Portsmouth institution, including Laroque who has a wonderful soprano voice, On account of the soreness of his throat he was unable to sing a solo, but took part in a number entitled "Fragments," ; or "A Memory of Songs of Long Ago." His singing was loudly applauded. The others taking part in this were McLeod, Chapman, Alexander, Wafer, Hunt- ley, Ayers and Weber. The other items on the programme were: Solo, Froman; solo, Ludgate; The "Miserere" from "Trovators," by Sax, Duetmer, Hebert and Guard Lowes; solo, Water; two ballads, Guard Hayman; musical entertain- ment, Otten & Company; solo, Alex- ander; solo, Webber; saxaphone solo, Hebert and plano. The insjru- mental selection given by Guard Hol. land was loudly applauded. The saxaphone duet by Guard Lowes and Convict Hebert was dne of the best items on the programme. Hebert is a professional musician and his talent can be used to advant. age entertaining the prisoners. The inmates were so pleased with the entertainment that they hoped the time was not far distant when another: treat of this kind would take place. SHOE AD STOCKING FUND Work of Rotary Club--Rotar~ lan "Al" Davis Qives Address. The Kingston Rotary Club will make an appeal to the citizens .to help along their Shoe and Stocking Fund. Citizens will recall the splen- did work earried on by the club along this line last winter. the members subscribed to the fund and now an opportunity will be given to the people of the city to lend a hand. During the next few days, letters will be sent to householders asking for support in the campaign. Citizens Will Be Asked to Help| At the meeting of the club held last week THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG a St The request has been made that all subscriptions be sent to Dr. H, E.

The matter of the Shoe and Stock- | ing Fund was under discussion at] Friday's ; American hotel, which took the form | of a business meeting and it was] decided to send out the letters so as to give 'the people:&n opportunity to share in this splendid undertaking. Friday's luncheon was well attend. ed and a special feature was a snappy address from Rotarian "Al" Davis, who told about his recent visit to several Rotary Clubs in western On- tario. The president, Leman A. Guild, was in the chair. The singing was exceptionally good, the various club songs being put over with all kinds of pep. "Al" gave the members some in-| teresting sidelights on how the clubs he had visited '"'carried on" and in- terspersed his address with some brand new stories, with local hits, | that went over big. He also spoke; of the good fellowship in the local club and peinted out the great good If} luncheon in the Britigh-|% that could be accomplished with such good fellowship and co-operation in | everything taken up by the club. | During his stay in Western On-| | tario, Rotarian Davis visited several | of the Rotary clubs and had the | pleasure of extending the greetings | from the Kingston club. At the close of his address, "Al" | made a great hit with a song he in-| troduced entitled, "Kindling Wood." | "Jack" Elder, "Sid" Smith, Harold Singleton caught on to it in a min- ute and the rest of the gang assisted as soon as they could catch the swing | of it. | The address of Rotarian Davis was of a most entertaining charaéter and was listened to with keen interest. Rotarian Wightman called for three cheers and a tiger for "Al" and they were given as only Rotarians can cheer. The speaker took occasion to return his thanks for the warm reception given him on his return to the club, and especially for the kindness shown him by his fellow members during his recent illness. Keen regret was expressed over the announcement of the death of Rev. Thomas Bolger, past president of the Elmira, N.Y., Rotary Club. Rev. Mr. Bolger addressed the King- ston Rotary Club some time ago. President Guild paid tribute to the deceased stating that he was one of the finest men he ever met. The members of the local club recall the splendid address he delivered here. A letter from the Utica, N.Y., club, stating that "Bill" Cairns of Mont- real, formerly of Ottawa, and & fre- quent visitor at the local club, had been mentioned for International president some time within the next two or three years, was received with warm applause. He will have the support of the Kingston club. The guests introduced at roll call included 8. A. Purvis and George BE. Thomas, Toronto, and J. A. Shea. ------ NEW YEAR'S GIFTS.
