On Friday afternoon, a num- ber of the people of the section gathered at the school and to- -n ‘I The evening being favorable, and the roads in fair condition the crowd soon gathered. Messrs. Weir, Atkinson, Newell, McFadden and Hopkins brought sleigh loads of Durhamites, while the sur- rounding communities, Edge Hill .810 essan, Zion, Becky, Hutton Hill ‘v'a he and North Egremont W91", .11: represented. Although a full house is the rule rather than the exception, the crowd on Frida; rather surpassed any. previous oc- casion. Seats for the men were al- most out of the question, and even standing room was at a premium. However, everyone seemed willing to cheerfully accommodate him- self to the crowded condition, and make things as pleasant as possi- ble for the other. When the hour for the program arrived, Mr. John Graham took charge, and proved himself atact- ful, humorous and resourceful chairman. The program, which was Imostly of a patriotic character, was well rendered and fully appre- ciated. The musical part was good and consisted of solos by Miss Edna Ritchie and Messrs. Bell and Fallaise, a quartette by Misses Middlebro’ and Walker and Messrs. Bell and Fallaise, and in- :strumental music by Mr. C. Smith .on the graphoplone. The humorous :and patriotic recitations by Misses {Easel Edwards was a pleasing variation and cleverly -’ executed. The last number on the program; DURHAM, ONT., THURSJAY.

The feeling seemed to pervat e. the au'lience ”that it Was not merely boxes they were bidding for, but the. comfort and welfare of the lmys at the front. As the task of auctioning over 140 boxes was a rather arduous one, Messrs. John McGirr and J. Moffat took turns in relieving: Mr. Weir.

Appropriate music was furnished by the choir, and a solo by Mr. Mistelc was effectively rendered. On returning to their lodge room the Foresters passed a unanimous vote of ‘thanks to Mr. Moyer for his masterly sermon, and to the «congregation of the Methodist church for their courtesy in ex- tending to the Order the privilege of worshipping with them, that they, too, might honor the mem- ory of a departed brother, who n'nr‘. died in defence of honor mi iustice. . ‘- Fast H0: key for Red C Carnival The following is the line-up for the hockey match to be pluyCd 013 the night of the Red Cross Carni- val.
