Each of the yachts will carry a crew of at least six men, s0 that between 150 and 200 vachtsmen are likely to come to Oshawa for this cruise, and to remain here overnight. Stay Overnight... These *cernising races usually start from Toronto about 2.30 in the afternoon, and, given favor- able weather conditions, the fleet should all be safely tied up in the Oshawa harbor between eight and nine o'clock in the evening. The boats will lig in the Oshawa harbor overnight, will take on necessary supplies, and will then leave for Toronto on the return trip at some time on Sunday.

H, H, Stevens stated to the House of Commons yesterday.

Woodsworth (Labor, Winnipeg North Centre). who quoted the figure of 726,694 as having been given before the Politica] Science Association in Toronto. : Figures of industrial employ- ment compiled from returns of | some 5,000 firms in Canada, con- tinued, Mr. Stevens indicated a gradual, though not very mark- ed, increase.

AUDIENCE THRILLED BY FIRST APPEARANCE OF DR. FRICKER'S CHOIR * Vast Step Forward in De- velopment of Music Is Made by Initial Presenta- tion of Oshawa Choral Society in St. Andrew's Church Last Night | ASSISTING ARTISTS WERE EXCELLENT Miss Bettina Vegara, Vi- olinist, and Miss Lillian Rittenhouse, Pianist, Aroused Enthusiasm of Audience Which Filled Auditorium A vast step forward in the de- velopment of music in Oshawa was made last night when Osh- awa's Choral Society under the conductorship of Dr. Herbert A. Fricker, made its first appearance at a concert in St. Andrew's Unit- ed Church and scored a decided triumph. The audience that fill- ed the large church auditorium was greatly impressed and once again it wag brought home to the individual listéners that there is musical talent of the best, j: this city, worthy of development un- der the best leadership. The Choral Society of over seventy- five voices came into being last fall after the massed choir con= cert, with Leonard Richer as con= ductor, was given in aid of the Associated Welfare Societtes. Many who sang in the first choral concert are members of the So- ciety that met with such favour and success last nicht, Rehears- als have heen held once every week and Dr. Fricker has veen assisted with the directing by Leonasd Richer, associate con- ductor of the Society. It is an- ticipated that the work which has only just begun in conneec- tion with the choir, will continue, for, if last night's performance is the result of first efforts, a great future lies in store for the Oshawa Choral Society. The results of the intensive training given to the choir hy Dr. Fricker were apparent in every number. There was excep= tionally fine balance in the var fous sectiong of the choir, and the program which had been selected provided ample opportunities for effective choral singing. The blending of voices in 'the part songs was exquisite, and was par- ticularly noticeable in the pian- issimo effects. It was apparent that the members of the choir wera thoroughly enjoying their work, and Dr. Fricker's handling of hig voices was masterly. From the opening of the program by an impressive rendition of the Na- tional Anthem until the closing the audience was held as if by a spell and one could sense the deep enjoyment that was be- ing felt by those who were prive ileged to hear the first presenta- tion by a Community Choir under the auspices of the Oshawa Chor- al Society. To the trained or untrained ear, the selections by the full choir were of extreme delight. The audience was moved by the beauty and dignity of the first three numbers, chorales by J.
