THE OLDEN EGG,
As a prelude to further delectable musical fare, the choristers treated the company to a superbly rendered opening chorus, Jack Goose now appeated in all the freshness of holiday attie and shag a song, which, besides giving all present a clue to his identity, let everyone into the secret of his success in life.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS." As an introduction to Part 111, Mrs. Stub- bings played several lively and popular airs on the piano which were received with applause on the part of those present. A little later as the curtain rose for the third and fast time, Miss Maggie Hoskins advanced to the foot- lights and in the exquisitely expressed "Cool' covered herself with credit. In response to an encore, she favoured the audience with that perenially charming song "Dreamland," and was made the proud recipient of a lovely flower-embellished basket.
Dressed as a Gus Elen' in cmbiyo, Master Jolis Grimshaw's appearance was welcomed with a spontaneous eruption of laughter- Flora, Annie and Maggie, bereft of their fiancés, give, expression to their grief in the langhter that prevailed throughout his intensely crying song "Oh!

No doubt, many of Jack's friends would like tington and Cowboy Jack, this holiday makers to possess such a rara aviz, but; gold hatching in singing "When from playmates we geese are scarce, so Mother Goose seeks to are parted," a song wherein is revealed the dispel the shadows of disappointment by tellingpe of seeing the absentees once

leaves the audience free to comment, fa- yourably upon the realistic acting of the children, the superb solos of Mother Goose, the exellence of the dancing, the capability of Jack Goose in the role of Master of Festivi ties, and the laughable antics of Simple Simon.
The means necessary to the achievement of this desired end are then disclosed by the choristers, and is embodied in the song, Those who honour their parents." Following this comes Mother Goose's declaration that herself and her son are better off now, thant they used to be. Furtheraiare, she thinks it only right that Jack should devite a portion of his wealth to the nugmentation of the happi ness of less fortunate individuals; therefore, she is vastly pleased to find so many children present in response to her son's iqvitation, and trusts they will enjoy in playful sport a happy day.
A GALLANT FARMER, Unfortunately, some of Jack's fond com. panions are not as early on the scene as
expected, but, very shortly, Farmer Jack arrives. He is cordially greeted by Mather Goose and her son, but, to their mutual disappointment, tells thein he is unable to stay. Asked for the reason, he, in vivacious style, sings of a giant äving at no great distance from Whaurist, backed by the choristers, but also others of like predatory instincts.

A violin and pianoforte duet:—" The Sea is England's Glory" as played by Miss Winnic McNeil and Master Malcolm McNeil won de- served appreciation, and Master George Hos- kins secured universal commendation with his contribution to the extensive programme, "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke." The evening's en- tertainment closed with the passing of a vole of thanks to Mr. Robert Dickson, who so ably
conducted the piece, to Mrs. Mitchell who acted as accompanist, and who also had devor ed every available moment to the training of the youthful artistes, and who, despite innumer- able drawbacks, such as inclement weather, to mention but one of a host, had brought the work of the juveniles to the highest pitch of perfection.
