The affair, which was of a private nature was arranged between the officers of the Ist Border Regiment, the 1st Green Howards and the committee of the Junior Golf Club. The arrange ments were in the hands of the two regiments concerned and were curried through without a hitch.
The chair was taken by Major Kroyer, 8.0, 0.8.8., of the Green Howards and the band of the Border Regiment by kind permission of Lt.-Col. E, Roche Kelly was in attendance and rendered selections, th. items being extremely well chosen by Mr. 0. W. Geary A.R.C.M. the popular conductor. Amongst the individual items, special mention must be made of the Rev, J. N. Lewis Bryan whose monologues tickled the large audience immensely. Mr. and Mrs, W. A. Scott with their duet and other items were: much appreciated. Sgt. Elliott of tke Green Howards gave some real Yorkshire "'stingo" and Irish com-dined, while Mr. Bert Stormes for} Lancashire was in great form, allusion to "Steve" being particular-well received by the "Boys." Bandsman Cunningham of the Borders in his rendering of "Cherie" with band accompaniment was. the most popular turn of the evening, but as the whole programme was
