Miss Laura Roberts sang in her well-known good style and she was greeted with loud and continued np plause. Miss Ella Carrington's singing was highly appreciated in "Til be your sweet- heart." Mr. Charlie Taylor gave satisfaction with Hard 40 say and Mr. P. Cariton scored when he sang The "Chince Soldier- Man" from "San Toy."
