After a game which was a credit to and good hockey, in which the home { team scored the most goals, though the Sioux, playing two or three subs, won as much of the applause, the two teams and their admirers adjourned to the Town Hall, where a banquet was laid for them by the Lausanne Cafe. The Dryden stores had all closed for the evening, and all the eligibles who could get a ticket joined the stag party. And it turned out to be some party, believe me! Never had the old hall Toskall' more attractive. The tables, loaded with enticing viands, were placed to produce the maximum effect and service, in a to his opportunity and this banquet put him in the front rank of popular favor as a caterer. M. F. Cook was elected to the chair, and got down to business at once. After a few congratulatory remarks he called on A. Bi. Berrey for a song, to which Mayor Pitt played the accompaniment. the able assistance of Frank Porter. Mayor Pitt, in a short but pithy ad: dress, touched a warm spot through their witty captain Jewell, ex- pressed keen appreciation of the recep- tion extended by Dryden. The Orchestra had by this time had lunch, and returned to their instru- ments, and things began to warm up all round. The next turn was the Zantolas, who simply tock the house by storm between their comedy dialogue and clever dancing. They were encored until they were compell- ad to quit from sheer exhaustion. Bu their reputation as entertainers is established both in Sioux Lookout and Dryden. | Messrs Anderson and Legres, of Sioux Lookout, won applause in a duet Mr H. Gammon sang an old English Seng, playing his own accompaniment. 3. K. Lebaron, in a violin solo, display- ed his mastery of the instrument. And Mr S. Bartlett rather finely introduc- ed the classical touch by playing the Raymond Overture (piano), affording an artistic contrast. M. S. Campbell restored the atmos- phere of laughter by his witty com- ments on the game and those whe practised it. Mr Pitt was called on for a reading, despite his protest, but the crowd were not out to listen to argu- ments or excuses, and very~ plainly knew what they wanted, furnished the concluding item in a comic song with a rousing chorus. Bit the feature that gave class to the program was the clever orchestra work. The Melody Five gave the professional finish to the entertain- ment, carrying on in brilliant fashion. Their support and confidence made possible for the various performers to do their very best. WANTED--MAID FOR GENERAL Housework. Apply to Mrs R. J. PRONGER, Dryden.
