From early' [‘3‘ evening the booths received a liberal patronage. The orchestra from the Methodist Church was in attendance and with the assistance of Mr. F. .er, Bunce on the comet, gave a liberal ted supply of good music. It was adverâ€" tised as “the garden party that was or- different,” and the claim was fully vindicated in the excellent four-act play that was put on by St. George’s Church Dramatic Club from Owen Sound. The play, entitled “The New Co.â€"Ed.,” was pleasing throughout; the players were all good and the work done by‘ some of them was really excellent. Solos by Mrs. Armstrdng, Mrs. Geo. King, and a gentlemen whose name we have not learned, were delightful ycontiributions to the program. There ‘ were about fifteen taking part in the play, and a number of others from Owen Sound came along for the sake of the outing. Thursday, July 6, 1922.
