WEDNESDAY MARCH 5;3, 1924. BIG SUCGES§ ACHIEVED BY MUSICAL FESTIVAL Mr. J. Geils is conductor of the Caledonian Choir. Mrs. Chittenden, as accompanist, assisted materially in the notable success of the number. Mr. R. R. Johnston, pianist, and Mr. Jack Bridges, violinist, also eontributâ€" ed their talent as accompanists for some of the solo numbers. The musiâ€" eal committse, Messrj. Geils, Downie ind Cowan, and all the artists and Tiwo other numbers that the magjorâ€" ity of the audience would specially favour would be the comice song, ‘"Dance With Your Uncle Joe,""‘ hy Mr. A. J. Downie, and the song, *‘ Fou the Noo,"‘ by Mr. Jas. Cowan. Both these comedians made striking hits. Mr. Downie, in clever costume, gave a rendition of his number that would do credit to any professional, and as the chairman suggested, even Harry Lauder could not have given a better rendition of ‘*Fou the Noo,*‘ than the _ laughterâ€"compelliimg â€" one _ of "Jamie""‘ Cowan. Another humorous turn that won heartiest interest and applause was the clever Negro Skit by Mr. H. Nichols, in blackface and costume. The programme _ included instruâ€" mental. music of high order. The Caledonian â€" Orchestra, ((Mr. Jack Bridges, musical â€" director; ®» Messrs. Cunliffe, Brown, Graham, Williams and Torrance) delighted all, and is admitted to be one of the best orâ€" chestras playing in Timmins for some time. The Instrumental Trio, with Dr. MéGurl leading, was a novelty that made a noteworthy hit with its fine music. The Hawaiian Duet, by Messrs. Conn and Pagalari, in cosâ€" tume, was another number â€" that brought heartiest applause and encore and deserved all> the appreciation s h ()\‘\" n ® Canada â€" â€" United States Published every Wednesday by Owner and Publisher.

A special general meeting of the shareholders of the Thompsonâ€"Krist Co. is called for Wednesday next, March 12th, at Toronto. The purpose of the meeting is to consider the purâ€" chase by or through the Company of the three Thompsonâ€"Krist claims and the one Porcupine Crown claim, toâ€" gether with the plant, equipment, etc., on the latter claim. . It is hopedto make this purchase for $100,000,00 and 20 per cent. of the capital of a company to take ever the four claims referred to.> The raising of the $100,â€" 000.00 for the plan will naturally be one of the matters to ibe considered by the meeting, The plan apparently is to clear up the Porcupm Crown and Thompsonâ€"Krist companies, liquiâ€" date allâ€"claims, and open up the propâ€" érties again with a clean slate. There is great faith in the possibilitiees of the four claims and with the old diffiâ€" culties overcome the prospects should be good for success. There will be general interest in the plans now unâ€" der way and a general hope that sucâ€" cess will crown the present efforts to cet the four promisinz claims conâ€" cetned once again in the list‘"of active properties of the Poreupine.

(Monday evening‘s event was successful from all viewpoints,â€" financially, in attendance and in the merit of the musical festival. Inâ€" deed, it is said that the programme Monday evening was even better than as given here last Thursday, though that seents a lot to suggest. In any event the South Poreupine people speak in the highest terms of praise of the Caledonian â€" Choir‘s Musical Festival, while the members of the Choir and other artists assisting reâ€" turn the compliment by the good words said in regard to the kindness and appreciation of the people of South Poreupine.
