David Edgar acted as chairman and at 8.30 p.m. introduced a lengthy and varied pro- gram. Itwas a pleasing program, one full of humor and variety. We will not attempt to name all the numbers on the program, but will mention a fewof the most prominent. The chorus singing was excellent, and exemplified the fact that the 8th line can boast of some good singers. Some of them have been\hiding their talent for singing, and it is about time they used it more. The solo parts were well rendered by Miss Olive Hamilton Miss Alice Hamilton and by Messrs John Dickson, Will Hamilton, Walter Hamilton, Ben Howard, George Taylor and Geordie Hamilton The dialogues were rich ones and kept everybody in roars of laughter.
