By 18 o'eloek ten lodges had arrired and some S.OOO'lpers^C^ The Proton and MeUmctbon diatriota, numbering 15 lodges, were nnable to^ seonre a speciid train, oving to all tbeisoaehes bemg engaged elsewhere, tfaffwby depriving ^em of yisiting Markdale on tiiis occasion as they had^ determined and greatly desired. Lib-' end prdtision was made for the wants of the inner man, and to spare. Abont 2 o'oleak a large number ad* jonmed to Walker's bnsh where sid- dresses, able and ap^priate, were given by Bevs. Cornish, Mclntyre, Wilsen, and Dr. Sproule and John Lyons, Esq. Good order and respec- table oondoet were noticeable and commmdable features ot the day, azid the varioos lodges retomed to their 'difteient homes early in the evening. nnf«etuiiati-*-^* tbftnOTr hridgff 4fi BAND OONCEBT. Evening oo(rf and pleasant. Audi- ence Aurly large, and most all well pleased we jnt^e. Part Ist. â€" Pro- gramme was opened by the band witb a sdectiim which was well recdered, and though old was good. Dr. Sproule M. P., then came forward and assum- ed the onerous position of chairman. He introduced himself in an off-han J little address, with quite appropriate references to the band, its organiza- tion, progress and benefit to the com munity, also some thoughts on the profit of musical culture. Audience sorry Mr. Anderson was not on hand, W. J. hardly filled tbe vacancy. Song, Mrs. Eetchuro, a pretty air, rather difficult, sang with taste and expres sion, voice a light soprano piauo very much against her voice, tho' the ac -companyment was tastily played Duett, Jones Mason, clarionet and comet, pretty, and too short. Song, Miss Addie Armstrong, "When the heart is sad," a very hard song, given in good voice, and correct, but piano was below pitch, and out of tune, so she was at a great disadvantage trubt she will come again when help is more favorable. Song, W.A.Luke, "Ehren on the Bhiue," a descriptive piece nicely sung, and if he had used his guitar for accompaniment would have secured a re-call. This mast not re- flect on Miss Damude as she played her part well, but oh that 'piano. Johny Dundas is an exception to most boys, as a piano placer, and will make his mark yet we hope in musical circles. Song, Miss Lemon, "When the leaves begin to fade," a waltz song splendidly given, words distinct, and every note elear, she earned a re- call, and responded with a sweet ballad, "The Sunshine." We will aU be pleased to hear her again at some future concert, i^art 2nd. â€" ^After a short time to chat, the band started the program again with a quickstep lead good, E. Bass good, all good ex- ceptmg B bass and trombone, at places were over^blown. Song, Miss C. Phillips, a pretty song, with good, voice points in it, which the lady handled very sweetly. Duett, Jones Mason, harder than the first one, and not so well played, especially at the finuh. W. J. is good at the comic and brought down the plaudits so strongly as to come on with an extra piece. Duett, Bussell Bamhouse, "Army Navy," well rendered, and- deserved an encore. Song, Miss Damude did not sing as she always pleases, Mz. /Bamhotrse made a w«iak selection, and phoold not attempt comic when his voiiBe aiid aianner takes better to solid aonga. Sm^. Mr. Eussell, a good song, well sung he itas a ptea rt t u t ' t^or voice, good ex- prefisioh. but prbnni} elation a little faulty.
