THE STRATFORD MIRROR C.N.R. Band Renders Excellent Program The C. N. R. Band played its last regular concert of the season on Tues- day night, and a special program has been arranged for the occasion. The feature items were Miss Irene Jocélyn on the tubular bells. Miss Jocelyn is one of Stratford's most popular young musicians, having become popular as a piano soloist. Capt. Albert Pequeg- accompanied by the band sang in his "usual good style. The band played a diversified pro- gram, which included such numbers as Zampa Overture, the ever-popular selection, Chu Chin Chow, and Fred Godfrey's selection of Scotch melodies. This is considered the best of its kind. During the intermission the L. O. L. No. 2668 drum and fife band rendered several selections. This band has won six firsts and two seconds in different contests in the last eight years. They were under the direction of W. Hodges. Following the band concert Tues- day night an out of town musician said to the Mirror scribe that Stratford sure should be proud of this musical organ- ization. He said "your band is one of the best he has heard." Needless to say, we were pleased to hear this re- mark. Congratulations to the band's popular leader, Prof. Bird: Local Interest Miss Gladys Chamberlain of Belle- view Hospital, New York City, daugh- ter of Mrs. A. Chamberlain, has suc- cessfully passed examinations qualify- ing her to become a Registered Nurse. Those who know this bright young lady can easy predict for her every success in her chosen profession. POPULAR YOUNG MAN HONORED BY ASSOCIATES A very pleasant event took place in the local C. N. R. Superintendent's office yesterday. The occasion was a presentation by the office staff to Mr. E. W. Brown, who is joining the ranks of the benedicts in Brantford tomor- row. He was certainly taken by sur- prise when Superintendent Weegar on behalf. of the office staff.made a very appropriate address, following which Mr. Brown was made the recipient of a handsome library table and chair and also a beautiful upholstered oc- casional chair. In a few well chosen words he graciously thanked the donors. These handsome gifts certainly show the high esteem in which the recipient is held in by his associates. Mr. and Mrs. Brown, after an ex- tended honeymoon to Los Angeles and Increase In Space For Exhibits At a recent meeting of the local Fall Fair Board further enlargements in the. accommodation for exhibits were decided upon. With the contemplated enlargements a great increase in space for exhibits will be ready for the fair this year. The total increase in accommodations this year will be a barn for cattle, 25 feet by 100 feet; room for eight more flocks of sheep, and additional space for poultry. In these three classes the accommoda- tion in previous years has always been uncomfortably crowded and the ex- tensions this year should relieve these conditions, It was decided to put on two -horse- shoe contests at the fair this year. On Tuesday of fair week, competi- tions will be in progress for the Dr. Monteith and Mayor Moore Cup and medals, and on Wednesday there will be competition for prizes.to the value of eight dollars. Six dollars, four dollars and two dollars. John Dempsey was appointed chairman of the committe to be in charge of this. The proof sheets for the prize lists have been checked and James Stew- art, secretary of the Fair Board, an- notnced that anyone desiring copies of the prize list should communicate with him.
