Show l (aunty fcj ! i - E. S. A. NOTES Perhaps the most classical musical program ever given by the E. S. A. was given last Friday night, November 18, and repeated again Monday evening. The soloists were J. T. Hand, our old friend and music, director and R. Y. Robinson, present instructor, assisted by the choir. The opening selection by the choir was rendered in fine style and showed the result of careful drilling. The alto section was especially commendable. Bro. Robison's first selection "Prologue, "Pro-logue, Leoncavallo" was a very difficult number and showed his wide range first class. His high notes here were especially espec-ially good. Bro. Hand was in fine voice and the hearty applause given him on his introduction intro-duction only showed how our music lovers appreciated his visit and his ability as a vocalist. His first number from Strauss was done in fine style and showed careful training. In his second selection "Waft Her Angles" by Handel, he won the heart of every music lover with the richness rich-ness and softness of his upper notes, so well sustained, they were nothing short of European. This piece was excelled only by the dramatic production from Pagliam. Bro. Robinson displayed a delicate touch in the interpretation of Chopin. "A Dream" as rendered by Bro. Hand showed the improvement in enunciation and the audience was carried away by the beautiful words. "Thrilled me and stilled me and lulled me to rest." In his second number of group "b"he made the hit of his life. The dramatic laugh, the passionate feeling and the entire thing, in fact, was fine. Bro. Robinson displayed a good lower register in "It is enough" from Mendle-sohn. Mendle-sohn. Also "King of Lahore" by Massenet Mas-senet was done to a nicety by him and was one of his best numbers. The first two piano selections by Bro. Hand showed a fine finger execution particularly of the hand the hand weakest with most musicians, but his last peice won him the laurels of the evening. To see him in that beautiful "Studv" by Letschetesky one wanted to shout right out "Go it Rube." The closing song of the choir and Bro. Robinson was well rendered and had a very pretty movement In a final word our Musicle was a grand success and music lovers enjoyed a rare treat.

From another correspondent: Thanksgiving Day went off very quietly in this town the stores were all closed after 2 p. m. and there was a general day of turkey and pumpkin pie. The Orangeville Dramatic Co. gave a melodrama in the evening and the Social Hall was crowded to the doors. The parts were all well rendered, especially es-pecially when we consider that they have only had the play of the "Little Heroine" on hand one week. Pete and Jake gave the audience plenty to laugh at and the same play will be repeated Friday evening and another full house is anticipated.
