A. Maunder, Mr

Taylor, and Mr. A. Swan, the latter giving a clever exhibition of fancy club swinging. Mr. H. K. Strachan, in the character of "Ghillie Callum," accompanied by Mr. J. Macdonald, Piper, gave a very neat and effective exhibition of the Scottish Highland dance. To the long list of artistes must be added the name of Mr. Joseph Love, whose trombone solo "The death of Nelson" was admirably rendered.

The thanks of all were expressed by Sir Havilland de Sauamarez to the performers, the management of the theatre, who gave the house for the occasion, the committee, and all who rendered assistance in various ways and contributed to so successful and enjoyable a gathering. Credit is due to Mr. R. Llewellyn Jones and Mr. Chas. E. Shepherd, who organized the concert, with the assistance of Mesars.

'W. R. Parkin, J. Hervey Longhurst, and Captain G. F. Collyer, members of the Committee. The Carlton Orchestra conducted by Mr. Martinez, rendered popular selections, and the war pictures shown were kindly loaned by Mr. 8. Hertzberg, of the Apollo theatre.
