gratulate him on mustering such a party of
accomplished artistes. The whole programme was
excellent throughout in its appropriateness of the
festive season, and presented a fitting climax to
another successful year. During the evening's
entertainment, a draw was held which resulted
in two persons, namely Miss E. Dunn and Regan
(artiste) receiving a turkey each, generously pre
sented by an anonymous donor.
