BENEFIT PERFORMANCE.—Hirwain was, last week-end., favoured with a visit by Mr. Hag-ar (jun.), who kindly gave the whole of the tak- ings on Friday evening for the benefit of Mr. A. C. Ward, who has had the misfortune to lose his sight. The Victoria, Hall was packed, and many were turned away, unable to gain admittance. The pictures shown and the songs rendered- were well received by an appreciative audience. A hearty vote of thanks was pro- posed to Mr. Haggar for his kindness, which was duly seconded and carried. The result of Mr. Haggar's generosity has proved a God- send, as a total profit of £ 16 was realised, which will bo used by the committee towards defraying the expemese in connection with the treatment Mr. Ward is now receiving at the .hands of Mr. Mellor, the noted eye specialist, of 168, Oxford-road, Manchester, under whose skilful attention it is hoped that his sight may yet be restored.
