Newfimrket D BLOUGE THE PflTa-E'EUTIG BQKQEM The rnsult of the ontvrtainment given in the Masonic Hall on Friday evening in aid of the National Patriot- ic Fund was mnle satisfactory from every standpointr.‘ Thu-e wag a fine audience, an excellent pI-ogiammc was prom-med, and there \vvrv (lvidPnces of appreciatiun on every hand. The hall was appropriately decorated, Union Jacks and Canadian flags having a prominent, place, and over the plat.- l'orm hung a beautiful and life-like portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Vic- toria. The order throughout, the even- ing was perfect, and this was no doubt partly owing to thoughts of the thrill- ing events of the past few weeks, in a measure to the rare excellvnce nf the programme presented, or partially to the magnetism of thechaix-man, Liout. T. H. Lennox of Aurora, whn is pl‘lllll- iuent and popular in militmy (zirclr-S [S be is in all circles. Mr. LGnnoX as he is in all circles. Mr. Lemur); made some happy introductory re.- marks, in which he referred to the worthy object of the entertainment, the stability 01” the British Empire, and the gallantry and dash (if the (Jan- adian boys now in South Africa. The programme, as published in last week‘s LIBERAL, was given in its entirety with one. exception, Mr. E. Mason not- being able to be present to take his part. Nearly every selection had :1 pa- tx-ioticring about it, and the enthu- siastic audient-e had ample oppm tunity to express their appreciation. which they did in wellâ€"merited and hearty applause. 1 "an. TEE BECEBPTS OVER $95. "Yr. The programme proper opened with a very pretty tableau, “ Gin-at Britain and Her Colonies,” in which a. large numbvr of (H11‘ citizens took part. No more fitting representative could have been selected for Her Most Gracious Ma‘esty than Miss Trench who looked an acted her part, to pelfection, and numy of the colonies were alSo worth- ily represented. The following Wou- (-hamctea's who appeared in the tub- lenu which was followvd by all singing The National Anthem :â€"Queen Vic:- toria, Miss'fwnch; John Bull, J. P. Glass; Ludivs in \Vaiting, Mi ,5 Swit- zer and Miss Morris; Mis“ lunzula, zer and Miss Morris; Miss Uan_ada,l Mrs. quuharson : Egypt, Miss Ethyl ‘l Switzer; Ireland, Miss Linfoot ; Alis- 5 tralia, H.

Sanderson, J. l Hornet; Pages, Masters Alex. McCom aghy, Wesley Palmer. Mr. Frank Kidner of Toronto, who has a fine tenor voice. gave the first song, “ Marching.” and he was follow- ed by Mr. A. S. Savage who roused the audience by that popular song, “ \Vhile there’s a. Thread in the Old British Rag.” Miss Eva. M. Petch of Aurora, 3 young lady who appeared here for the first time, won the hearts of her hearers when she gave her first reading, “ Ordered to the Front.” Mr. John Kidner of Toronto, was the humorist of the eVening. His first song, “If that’s the (Jase I want to Join the Army,” brought forth thun- ders of applause, and although there was printed on the programmes, “ positively no encores,” the audience was bound to have him back, and the chairman orood-natnrmlly granted the request. 'i‘he parts of this song which Mr. Kidner could remember Were well rendered, and the parts whieh he fur- got. or pretended to forget, were ' equally well enjoyed by the assembly of hearers. Miss Frances (ll'osliy of Toronto, like the other artists from a distance, gave two selections, the first ' song being ” Bob-o-Link." the last “Creole Love Song." Mi s Crosby is a favorite in Richihiiiid Hill, and her sweet well-trained voice was never inwre thoroughly enjoyed here than [on the recent occasion. Miss Emma ; yam of Maple, added much to the pleasure of the evening by contribut- ! in two patriotic readings, as Well as f tafiing a. prominent part in the Empire ,Tableau. Miss Mary Trench gave a idifficnlt vocal solo in the. first part of i the prograuune, which elicited hearty iappiause. Miss Florence G. Bell of Chicago. a pupil of Mr. Hash-m, was 5 well received. She has a voice of imuch volume, and the musically-in- " clined in this village and vicinity will ‘ be pleased to hear her again. 5' The last number on the first part, of ' the programme was that popular se- ilection by Kipling, entitled “The ' Alisent-Minded Beggar," given by V Mis‘s Estella Butcher of Aurora. The ireading was paiti(-ularly~well render- ed and evidently had the desired effect as when the but was immr-diatel afterwards passed around about $1; was collected for tho fund. The second part. «If the prngramme was equally interesting.

Liberty ; in all th This part of the programme, like the first. 0 ened with :1 tableau. which was one u the popular features of the entertainment). This was en- titled “Tentng on the Old Crame Ground,” and, as the, name. would in- dicnte, represented soldier life. when the day‘s work was ended. Mr. J. H. Sanderson Was corporal, Messrs. F. Redditt‘, W. Hall, A. Savage, H. Smi- derson, L. Hoover, \V. Trench acted as guards, Mr. Johnston was cook. Misses \Viley and Storey took the art of Red Cross Nurses, and Mr. J. Iorner lay on a couch as a. very sick man. The soldiers were in military uniform. and the Red Cross chevrons worn by the nurses had done active service in the recent Spanish-American war. Before the curtain dropped the happy company sang that appropriate selection. “Tenting on the. Old Camp Ground,” and during the scene lively music was given on the violin, banjo and mouth-organ. 1 The piano accompaniments dm-ingl the evening were carefully and judici- ously played by Mrs. A. J. Hume,‘ Misses Edyth Switzer and Millie Tancll. and Mr. Ellis. The‘ entviminnwnt was brought to a. ClUSt‘ aftm- a liczu'tv vote of thanks was trindm'od tn thp chairman, the per- formers, the Metropolitan Railway Company, and to the many friends who hadussistod in various ways in adding to the Patriotic Fund. The proceeds, including the collection. amounted to $95.15. and the total ex- penses will be $10.15. The enthusiastic audience left the hall fooling that thev had seen and heard much to remind them of the British Empire, the magnificence of theii-lwlm‘ed Canada, and the noble achievements of those now on active service for tllt‘ll' Queen and Country. w. :HHUAL‘C’FH‘erâ€"waw- a e on the third rem ’ aries of (-(msiituencies.

This principle had been incorporated‘ into the hill already by the Govern- ment, but last session the Opposition had strongly opposed it. Su- \Vilfrid Laurier congratulated the. Opposition I on its happy conversion, but pointed' out that circumstances did not call for such a measure at the present time ; though after the next census the Gov- , ernment would be quite prepared to ‘ extend the principle it had already in- This incident closed, the bill passed the House by a majority of more than two to one, and it now rc- niains to be seen to what extent the Senate has gained in wisdom and un~ tier-standing since last summer. WHIPPING A DEAD HORSE. An entire day‘s session has been wasted this wcek in acrimonious mutual recrilnination on the subject of loyalty, particularly as it affects our French-Canadian fellow country- men. The regretable distuabances in Montreal at the end of last week were made the excuse for introducing the subject. and advantage was taken of the incident by Mr. Foster in his capacity as Opposition leader for the time being, to make a particularly violent attack upon the Minister of ;- | Public \Vorks.

The announcement that the Govern- ment had decided to immediately re- cruit the Northwest Mounted Police up to full strength will be received with interest and satisfaction not only in the west where the members of this organization are so well known and so highly esteemed, but down here in the east also where the events of the past few months has made us personally acquainted with many of them. It is ‘ announced that a hundred and twenty- five men will be recruited in the Mari- tine Provinces and a similiar number from Ontario and Quebec, and these recruits will proceed with all conveni- ent haste to the headquarters at Re- gina Where they will undergo a three months‘ course of instruction. STRATHCONA’S HORSE. As the week closes Ottawa is pre- paring to say good-bye to the noble Five Hundred of Strathcona’s Horse who for the past two or three weeks have been such familiar figures in our streets. No Incident in connection with the present war has created '%-i'ezttei-iiitei-est, not only in Canada. ) ut throughout the empire than the princely action of our High Commis- , sinner in placing this splendidly equip- ‘ ped body of men at the, dispoaal of the W'ar Office; and if Lord Strathcona. has done his part in providing the means the Dominion has done hers in supplying as fine a body of men as will be found in any part of that far-off battlefield, while the Militia Depart- ment has once again proved equal to the demand upon it, and has carried out the wishes of the great Canadian imperialist in the manner to which no exception can be taken. The boys leave here on Monday to sail a few days later from Halifax, carrying with them, as their comrades in arms of the :previons contingents have done, the admiration and the prayers of the great Dominion which we know they 1 will so worthin represent.
