Of Mrs. Baird and the Orchestra we can only say that they played beautifully their well-chosen programme. Perhaps special mention should be made of the violin solo played in the dark.

In a word, the performance was completely successful, and, we hope it will be followed by many more of its kind. May we hope that Mr. Burgess will soon show us that he can produce Shakespearean comedy too ?

This term, has been a very busy and interesting one for all members of the J.T.C., but before proceeding to recount its activities we must pause to congratulate 2nd.Lieut. Rhodes on his promotion to Captain.
