A very pleasant evening was spent on Saturday at Court-hill Schools in connexion with this society on the occasion of the inaugural social evening of the spring session. Tea and coffee were served, and the Court-hill string band agreeably performed selections under the bâton of Mr. G. F. Wates. A small choir, under the direction of Mr. F. W. Collen, rendered the well-known and amusing glees, "There was an Old Woman" and "Jack and Jill." Miss F. Doughty was well received for her singing of "Who'll buy my Lavender," and another item, "The Groom's Story" (by Conan Doyle), recited by Mr. Walter James, proved highly entertaining. Mr. Charles Volcard greatly amused with a clever display of paper folding and shadowgraphy.
