A most enjoyable evening, was spent at the Naval Dockyard Re- creation Club on Monday by the members and friends of the club on the occasion of the annual distribution of prizes won in the various sections.

The artistes were:--Mrs. G. W. Evana, Messrs. W. J. T. Phelps, H. Annias, W. H. Billing, W. Gill, G. H. Ash, Dick Barty, and H. N. Moran.

Messra. Anniss and Phelps each sang at his best, and gave as en core items "Two oyes of Grey" and Somervell's "Gentle Maiden," res- pectively,

Mrs. G. W. Evans, a recent ar rival in the Colony, sang "Beloved It is Morn" particularly well, and returned with Guy D'Hardelots "Perfect Flower."

Dick Barty and Mr. G. H. Ash, oach in his own way, contributed much to the hilarity of the even- ing and each had to respond to repeated applause. The name of the former is guarantee of a good laugh, and Mr. Ash's "Silly Aan" items are, increasingly popular.

Mr. H. N. Moran's violin play- ing was greatly appreciated, his items being performed with de liency and feeling.

Miss I. Phelps, Mr. C. D. Bort- lett and Mr. G. W. Evans shared the accompaniments, and the auc- cess of the artistes WAR in small

their due measure sympathetic playing.
