A Band of Hope was instituted on Monday evening at the Canadian. The meeting was held at the school-room, which was filled. Quite a number of those belonging to the Band of Hope at Gulgong was present. Rev Mr Trevor, Mr Bell and Mr Thomas of Home Rule addressed the meeting. Master Grono recited 39 verses ‘The Story of Biers,’ in a very creditable manner; Mr Eveleigh recited ‘The Arab’s Farewell to his Horse,’ Mr Milton sang ‘Ever of thee I am fondly dreaming, Messrs MacNamara and Taylor sang an instructive duet; Master Durham sang ‘Mother kissed me in my dream.
