This is the third time Mr, Bird has "put on' entertainments for the Annandale Chapter, and too high praise cannot be given to his pati- ence, skill in training and courtesy. In order to correct any misapprehen- sion as to the financial arrangements, we wish to say that after all expenses are pald, including over $700 for the Opera House and its employees, in addition to the printing, advertising, supplies, etc.,, the net proceeds are equally divided between the chapter end Mr. Bird, he paying out of his share his hotel and other expenses during the three weeks he was train- ing the performers. Therefore, what ig taken out of Kingston, does not amount to more, proportionately, than any other entertainer or lecturer takes away, without spending any money here, but one night's hotel bill, and sometimes not that, as many of them are entertained pri- vately.
