Miss Silver, Miss Benson and Miss O’Leary did splendid worl-r, while recitations by Misses ‘Wallace and Bowes were well reCeived. During intermission avery pretty tableau of the British isles and Canada was presented under the direction of Miss Hillock and Miss Eva Armour. The last feature was unique in Lindsay entertainments. Under a multi. colored electrolier, eighi couples danced the minuet. The intricate and graceful movements or this dance showed careful preparation. To . Miss Wardrobe, who introduced the minuet with an appropriate recitation, great credit is due tor the success, pm only of this number, but of the entire program. Standing aloneamid the blending rays of light, while t'ny electric lamps glistened in her hair, Miss .Wardrobe presented a charming figure, and displayed in the delivery of her lines a culture and grace that accounted for. much of the suc- cess of the program prepared under her direc- tion. After all, it is only fair to say that taking it altogether this entertainment is too artificial in its character and too deliberate and formal in its action to ever be a favorite with a popu- lar audience.

Last Friday evening the council and town- solioitor Hopkins met Mr. Rider of the firm of Rider and Kitchener and their solicitor Mr. Urquhart of Toronto in the town clerk’s ofiice, and sat till near mid-night discussing the con. tract between the town and the new company. The general terms had been previously accepted by the company, but many details remained to be adjusted. In the main the negotiations went very smoothly, but at times the points at issue seemed to imperil the agreement, but finally clause after clause, through the entire agreement, was framed to the satisfaction. of both parties. As it stands there are over a dozen separate items. and no contention of the town Was sacrificed in any case. The firm will be in operation by the first of January, 1900; they will have the privilege of extending their business to any manufacture not now carried on in the town: they guarantee to employ 25 hands. in of whom shall be over 19 years of age, {or to months in the vear and pay $6000 in wages. not including the wages (-t the man- ager and hook-keeper; in case the firm default for one year the town shall recover the $200 of the bonus to be cancelled yearly, but ifthe default extends over two c0nsecuttve years the town shall recover the whole bonus, less the sums previously cancelled: the town is to hold all insurance over $4000 in case such amount does not exceed $1500; the bonus money will be paid over at the rate of 50‘}: of the price of the land and 7 5% of the cost of the buildingsu they are being constructed; the assessment for school taxes shall be fixed at $1500 subject to being ratified by legislature; the firm’s pay- sheets shall be exhibited once a year; if a satis- factory site cannot be procured within reach of existing hydrants that point shall be considered later. After a heavy evening’s work both parties left the meeting well pleased. The Ontario legislature opens on February Ist. and The public will be interested in knowing that the publisher: Pf thutpopuier weele paper, the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal, have arranged for a further supply of their famous premium picture, “Thin Red Line." All who become sub- scribers during January and February can depend on gettinc: a. copy. also renewal cubscribors. We believe the publishers of the Family Herald and \Veekly Star intend the "Thin Red Line" to be the first of a series or these famous pictures, and Cana- dians who secure a copy this car will be fortunate, as they will be ab e to get the entire set. In a few weeks the entire edi- tion of “Thin Red Line" will be disposed of and no more can be had at any figure. This is a hint fur tlmse who have not yet secured it.
