Our citizens divided on July First- Dominion Day---between Hampton, Hay- don, Port Hope, 0shawa and other places, several going to the Lake for the day. The writer took in the attractions at Hampton, the capital of the municipality of Darlington township. Citizens of that centre of intelligence and influence, aye and beautiful women, anticipate for months in advance the home-coming of the boys and girls on First of July and the village is mad e au fait by a general clean up and the ladies appear in their new summer attire in the pink of fashion and loveliness. During the afternoon two games of football were played in the rain, the first between Hampton and Solina Juniors which was won by the home team 2-0. In the second contest Solina won from Bowmanville i-o in overtime, neither having having scored a goal when time was up. Robert Nash refereed both games to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. Owing to the unfavorable weather the children's sports were deferred to a later day. The weather god was not in his blithesome blithesome mood on this occasion for he sent numerous showers which kept many from the sports and drove the ladies in charge of the refreshments, and their choice edibles edibles indoors after they had their tables beautifully laid out on the church lawn. The tea was all that could be desired and the service was the best. THE CONCERT The evening concert was held in the enclosed enclosed shed which makes a splendid auditorium auditorium for a large assembly and the acoustic acoustic properties are better than one would expect. A commodious platform was constructed in the west end and with 'screens, plants, and flowers was made to look quite attractive. A new Dominion piano was hired for the occasion. The place was comfortably seated and the lighting and ventilation were fairly good. This improvised concert hall was filled to the doors by a very intelligent and appreciative audience. This was shown by the expression of approval and satisfaction they gave enthusiastically when any of the contributors to the program program gave an exceptionally superior selection. The tea tables were set on the church lawn but a down-pour of rain in the middle middle of the afternoon necessitated their removal removal into the shed. By 7.45 P m the multitude had been fed and several baskets baskets of fragments and untouched supplies in the provision department were carried into the church basement and the shed was soon ready for the concert audience. A few minutes after 8 o'clock the Orchestra Orchestra from King-st Methodist Sunday School, Oshawa, under leadership of Mr. William Cox, formerly of Bowmanville, opened the program with a few selections, Miss Ethel Kirby presiding at the piano. The playing of this splendid musical organization organization was one of the features of the evening and the church that has such an efficient orchestra is to be sincerely congratulated. congratulated. This is another instance where the training received in this musical musical town proves a benefit to our sister town .to the west. The individual members members also contributed to the program every number being heartily and worthily encored. The star of the evening was easily the famous boy soprano, Master George E. Branton, 58 Yarmouth Road, Toronto, who this evenings received an ovation on his first appearance, haying been heard on a previous visit to the home of his mother who was Miss Edith Moynes lor some terms a student of Bowmanville Bowmanville High School. Besides attending the public school in the city of which Mr. Sol. H. Jeffery, a Darlington boy is Principal, Principal, Master George has filled about sixty sixty engagements since last Autumn. He was enthusiastically, recalled on every appearance appearance and when giving by special request request his final number "The Holy City" his voice showed no fatigue and was clear as a bell. He has a comprehensive and varied repertoire of some 60 selections from which he gave these high-class compositions compositions : Love, the Pedlar--Edward German', Happy LiV Sal--Carrie Jacobs --Bond, (encore); Tosti's Good Bye (this was the first time he had given this difficult difficult (Composition in public but his rendition rendition was declared by musicians present to be really excellenr); The Cuckoo--Liza Lehmann; Mighty like a Rose--Nevin; Little Boy Blue--Nevin; The Holy City-- Stephen Adams. Mr. George E. Branton is pupil of Dr. W. H. Gutzeit, vocal instructor, organist and ,choirmaster in Wesley Methodist church, Toronto, (studio 184 Bathurst-st.,) and does his teacher very great credit. Nature has done much for Master George for he is possessor of a very beautiful soprano voice of rare quality and tonal Master George E. Branton Boy Soprano beauty, with a vocal range of over three octaves. His highest notes are of the flute quality which is so much admired in vocalists. The absence of the chest voice so often heard in boy soprano voices was very noticeable. He uses only th% head voice which no doubt accounts for his marvelous compass. George is only twelve years of age but has a remarkable conception of song and at once mystifies his audience by his wonderful interpretive powers. His numerous relatives and friends in West Durham will be glad to learn of his great success. His sister Miss Dorothy Branton was his accompanist on this occasion her playing being much admired. Miss Elsie Richardson of Lindsay was the reader for the evening and altho most of her numbers were familiar to her audience she gave every selection so very well that no entertainer could desire more warmth of expression. Miss Richardson's kindly expression won her a most attentive hearing and her reciting reciting drew forth repeated encores. Her numbers included, Cremation of Sam McGee, McGee, Hobble Brigade, Light from over the Range, (this brought tears to very many eyes), Saunders McGlashen's Courtship, Widow Malone, O Mither sing a sang to the Bairns. Miss Richardson will be sure of a cordial greeting whenever' she returns returns to Darlington. Master Frankie Cox, the violinist of the Oshawa Orchestra, is a native of Bowmanville, Bowmanville, son of Mr. Albert Cox and is a rising player. He got an enthusiastic recall. recall. Mr. L. Crawford of Oshawa Orchestra played "The Lost Chord" as a cornet solo which was one of the most delightful renditions. renditions. Mr. A. Cairus, another member, played a baritone solo with excellent effect effect also. Both were highly enjoyed. By request of Editor M. A. James, chairman, Mr. Salmond played on the piano "Church Chimes" which drew from the audience a demand for a repeat which he kindly gave. Mr. J. W. Borsberry and Mr. Jos. Lane brought ©Ut the members of the orchestra and had â pleasant time meeting old friends. The program was a trifle too long made so by the insistent and persistent encores, encores, but the people gave splendid attention attention till the Orchestra played the National Anthem.
