The annual social gathering in connection with St. John's Sunday School took place at Priory National Schools, on Thursday, in last week, when nearly 200 people sat down to tea. The spacious room was gaily decked for the occasion with an artistic and brilliant display of flags and bunting interspersed with choice flowers and exotic plants. The "repas recherche" was fully enjoyed by all those present. The ladies and gentlemen assist- ing a, e tables were most generous and un- remitting in their attentions, so that all thocie present thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and the utmost conviviality prevailed. There were present: The Ven. Archdeacon Evans, Rev D. T. Alban, and Rev J. Jenkins.

Jones, the Aenue, acquitted themselves creditably, and their performances gave evi- dence of careful training. The vocal items were well received, and the singing was in every case excellent. The few recitations which varied the programme were of a humorous character, and evoked roars of laughter. The, instrumental performances, of the juveniles was simply marvellous, the dexterity and ease with which they manipu- lated the ipiiano, and performed different pieces, caused considerable surprise. The accompanists were Miss Gladys Curnick, and Mr Walter Watts, who discharged their auties admirably. The Ven. Archdeacon Evans in the course of his remarks profoundly thanked the choir and the artistes who had acquitted themselves so creditably that evening, and he particularly wished to men- tion Mr W. Bartlett. It was essential in entertainments of this kind that, there should be a moving spirit to undertake them if they were to be brought to a successful issue; and Mr W. Bartlett, who was hard working and indefatigable in everything with which he had associated himsefl, had been instrumen- tal in bringing this entertainment to a. com- plete success, and their hearty thanks was due. ito him (applause). He also wished to cordially thank Mr D. H. Jones, Avenue, who had undoubtedly worked hard and sa,cri- ficed a good deal of his time, to bring the choir up to that form, as was evident from the excellent renderings they had given that evening (hear, hear). The singing of the National Anthem terminated a very success- ful entertainment, the proceeds of which go to the Sunday School Funds.
