THE CRIMEA

Rev. G. M. Cam), bell delivered his !ec- ture on the “Crimea” in the basement of the First Methodist Church last evening. To say that the lecture was exceedingly in- tereseing, and that the audience— the largest we have seen at a lecture for a con- sederable time—foilowed it throughout the hour and a half which its delivery occupied —is but putting it mildy. The subject—a good one tor a lecture—was treated in that eloquent manner for which Mr. Campbell is so well known. He firet gave adescript~ ion of the Turkieh and Russian nations at the time of the war, the causes which led to it, and the way ia whieh France and England were drawn into the struggle. With the help of pictures threwn on the canvas by the lantern underthe charge of Mr. Herbert Huszard, the great battles of

Alma, Balaklava aud Inkerman were brought vivicly befor: the audience. As the lecturer told of the

splendid heroism of the British soldiers in all cheir bacties, and also of tho-e in the last few years, of the praiseworthy work of Florence Nightingale and her assis- tants, av he recited must eloquently, Ten- nyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade,” and Kipling’s “ Dargai Gap,” aed as he spoke of what Britain is able todo in bat- tie if the hour of need should come upen her, the audience was wrought up to such a bigh pitch ofenthusiasm tha: the ap- plause was almost incessant,

A vote of thanks to the learned lecturer was moved by Hon. Frederick Brecken. Mr. Brecken crossed to Bagiand just at the time of the Battle of Alma, and he told several interesting stories of ecenes in Eogland duriog the war and after it was over. Mr. John McPherson seconded the vote of thanks, which was heartily en+ dorsed by all present, and tendered the lecturer by the chairman, Major 8S. F. Hodgson.

Among the pictures showa, was ‘‘The Thia Red Line,” the picture that eo inter- ested Canadians last winter. Mr. Camp- bell ex; lained that this is the picture of the Granadier Company of the 95rd Regi ment, repelling a large body of the Russian cavalry who were endeavoriog to attack the flank of the nineiy~third, just at the beginning of the battle of Baiaklava. The ninety-third were uader command of Sir Colin Campbell.

A detachment of the Charlottetown Engineers, with Lieuts, Lordly and Morris, attended the lecture in uniform,

CANADA LIFE COMPANY.

—-

The meeting of policy=holders in the Canada Life Insurance Company, held io the Y. M. C. A., yesterday afternoon was well attended, notwithstanding the brevity of the notice ca.ling them tegether. The meeting was organized by calling ex Councillor Hughes to the chair and select~ ing Mr. Peter Macdonald as secretary.

The chairman explained the object for which the meeting had been ealled,( which has already been outlined by Tus EXAMINER) and read = the petition which deals with the whole mat- ter. The policy~holders present were opposed to the change in the Company’s constitution which allows a vote for every share, and all signed the petition. The following resolution was then moved by Captain Thomas Taylor and seconded by Mr. W. WW. Wellner, and unanimously adopted :—

Resolved that the representatives of thie province in the House of Commons / and in the Senate be requested to support a measure to limit the number of vote given toa shareholder in the Canada L fe

THE EASTER CONCERT.

Wuite there has been retrogression in the political life of this Province, there has certainly been a marked advance in the social and artistic life of the people at large. This was made evident last even- ing, to the discriminating observer, in the tasteful manner in which the bare

and unfurnished basement of the new St. Dunstan’s Cathedral was decora- ted with flags and bunting, in the grouping, pose and drapery of the statuary,and in the character and rendition of the mueic which the appreciative audience listened to for well~nigh three hours,

First of all, we must congratulate Mr. May and those who, under his direction, took part in the several scenes exhibited. Each ecene was eminently beautiful and there was nothing in either to offend the prejudice or feelings of whose who are aat Catholic-. This part of the entertainment was adistinct and unqualified success.

The musicians laboured under the dis- advantage of performing ina very large unfivished ba)l to which they were un~« accustomed. Of course the concerted and iastrumental music diecoursed by Mr. Vinnicombe’e orchestra, was excellent and effective, as it always is. The piano selection by the Misses Carroll, Horasby,

Smith and K. Carroll, and the selec- tions of the St, Cecilia Club, consisting of (mw andolins)

Misses Anderson, Murpby, Smith, Hogan, Gillie, Sheyhan, Vaniderstine, McDonald and McKachen; (banjo) Miss, A. Murpby (Guitar) Miss J. Hornsby; (piano) Miss May Carroll—were beautifully reudered, and it ia needless to say that Mr. Vinni- combe’s violin solo was performed in masterly atyle.

Coming to the vocal music, the ladies’ quartette, consisting of the Misses Shey~ ban, Smith, Hogan, and Vauideretine, ex- hibited the resulta of careful culcure, the voices being sweet,tuneful,and nicely blend- ed.,More vigor and less culture were ex ibi- ted by the young men from St. Danstan’s College, viz. Messrs. Eggleston, Koy, Belleau and Stewart, who sang witbout accompaniment, Yet the voices in this quartette are evidently of exce lent quality and worthy of continued and carefu) traia- ing. Mesers. Owen, Bayfield, McLean and Earle’s quartetie was one of the most popular numbers of the programme, and the tone and manner of ite rendition were unexceptionab'e. The eame remark may be made concerning the duet sung by Miss W inifred Cotton aod Mr.T. A. McLean, jr., whose musical and well trained voices blended harmoniusly in therendition of one of Mendellsobn’s beautiful compositions. In a duet, also, were blended the splendid voices of Professor Caven and Mr. Charles Hermans, who bave long ranked among Charlottetown’s favourite singers. The soloists were Miss Hettie Collings, Miss Amy Earle and Mrs. E. H. Norton,—all of whom were in good voice and sang effectively notwithstanding the great exe tent of the hall—and Messrs Brent Mc- Innis, E. F. Ryan, of St. Dunstan’s Col- lege,and Mr, Charles Earle,—all maintain- ing the reputations they have gained as popular singers.

Miss Evid McLean and Miss Lefurgey gave readings with effect,the former’s beiag humorous, particularly for the old bache- lors, and the latter's a powerful example of oratorical art.

The audience was, without dovbt, the largest ever aseembled within the limits of Charlottetown. It included, besides tie Bishop and clergy, the Lieutenant Gover- nor and Mra Howlan, the Chief Justice and Mrs. Sullivan, the Premier aod Mre. Farquharson, and persons of all classes and ranksin the city. Much credit is due Misa Ceven and otber members of the committeeof manage- ment. The hardest criticism we have to mak e is that they provided rather toc mach of a good thing.

Lorat Crrcis.— The reunion of the Loyal Circle of King’s Daughters in St. Paul’s Schoolroom yesterday afternoon was very suceesstul. The paper by Miss Anderson, on “Impressions Oathered in France,” was both entertaining snd in- structive ned was followed with the clos- est attention. The pie and candy tables were presided over by Mrs, Nortou and Mies Carey and sales were brisk. A similar remark applies to the candy bureau, which was looked after by Mrs. Auld and Miss Amy Palmer. Five o’clock tea was served by Mrs Taylor and Miss Palmer; and Miss Longworth receiv~ ed the toll. The proceeds are to go to- wards the furnishing ofa room in the new P. KE. Isiavd Hospital. -— Ter Tur Mititia.— We are requested to pub lish the tollowing paragraph from the Militia Act, which refers to men refusing to turn out when called upon to do so in such cases as a guard of honor or other special parades; “An cflicer, nun-eommis~ sioned ofticer or man, who without :awfal excuse neglects or refuses to attend any parade or drill or training at the place apd hour appointed, or who refuses or neglects to obey any lawful order at or concerning such parade or training, @ penalty, if an officer, $10, if a non-commissioned officer or man, $5 for each offence, absence for each day being a separate offence.” As the new Major General is # believerin carry ing out the Act to its fullest extent it would be well for all who have been in the custom of treating calls tor drill with ine difference to govern themselves accord- dingly. These fines are collected by @ court of civil law. census
