Long before the hour of starting, 8 o’clock p. m., the hall was packed andl on the chairman, Dr. J. G. Hutton, of Durham. taking his seat on the platform, his first request was that for the benefit of the singers the hall doors should be closed. It was found impossible to do so as many were content to stand on the outside rath- jer than miss the opportunity of hear- ‘ing the excellent program provided. Dr. Hutton, in his usual compliment- ary manner. congratulated the audi- ence on their good leaks and intelli- gent appearance and also nOted the‘ Efact that there never had been in his experience a more talented company :brought to the S.

A selectimu by a String Band from Balsam Vallvy was well received and applauded to an encore, which was accepted. Mrs. Coutts-Bain. the talented dramatic soprano (Scottish) then sang " 'l‘he Crook and the Plaid ” in a man- ner that took the house by storm. " Comiu’ tln‘o’ the Rye ” was the number given in response to encore. We mus: sav although we have heard many attempts to sing this song we never really heard it sung before. Grunt. applause followed. The Sword dance by Misses Bryce and Ross was well done and much appreciated. Mr. D.C McGregor, baritvoneJhen sang “The March of the Highland Brigade.” This song brought. the clans to the front and at once placed Mr McGreuor in the good graces of his audience. 'Respondiug to an en- core he gave a new song called "Mr. Volunteer”, a local hit, on a Volunteer and a Price~ille belle. which took well and excited rounds of cheers. Mrs Coutts-Bain then sang aGaelic song. Responding to a genuine Highland encore she sang a second song in Gaelic which, if anything. was more successful than the first. Another selection by Piper McDon- ald, “McKay’s Farewell to the 74th.” was followed by the dance "Seaun 'l‘riubhas” by the Misses Bryce and Ross. which was well done. Balsam Valley Band favored the audience with a couple of their finest. selections. Mr. Donald C. McGregor sang "The Highland Man’s Toast,” followed -_ u.“ 1--. v.T-‘-.._ r....... l' ......
