Our Band of Hope is yet very young, but it is showing signs of strong and healthy vigour. The attendance is generally about a hundred, and an excellent band of workers is always present, which makes the work of the chairman easy and pleasant.

The members had their first quarterly tea on the 22nd ult. and a very pleasant gathering it was. After tea in the Girls' School, we all adjourned to the Boys' School for an Entertainment, the first part of which consisted of an excellent conjuring performance by Mr. Frank Hanrott, who greatly perplexed the juvenile minds before him. The remainder of the entertainment consisted of songs and recitations by the members. A large number of parents attended and evidently enjoyed the efforts of their children.
