LECTURE COURSE The hrst number was given by Ash Davie, a well-known humorist and artist, on November Znd. It was very well attended. The following number was given by Dr. Culp, a very well known lecturer and entertainer, on December 3rd. The third number was the YVelsh lXIiners' Quartette, held on January 23111, 1924. The old saying is, The longer they come, the worse they get. Hut it doesn't always hap- pen so, for the next number was the Schubert Ladies' Quartette. They gave us a splendid program.
