The concert `given in the school at M1119-Sing Station on Friday evening proved `to be a very encouraging -suc- cess. Mr. Alex. iPrimrose,- always our most popular chairman, took the chair at 8 p.m. sharp. The room was full. `quite a number of gentlemen were observed standing, as all the seats were occupied. A few happily chosen rremarks introduced the work ` of `the evening, and the audience was both `surprised .and . pleased ` to note the ease with which dialogue, reci- `tation `and song, followed each other in harmonious succession. -From Mrs. .Elliott s clever acting, to which we are all accustomed. to the shy self- consciousness of the debutante, whose first appearance `on the platform took place .'that night, every one}? effort "to A please was deserving of praise. -Miss ' Maggie Johnston, Guelph, -now staying at Mrs`.

We would advise the musical quar- tette to keep on, as we want to hear from `them again. and we do not - want lto wait long either.
