MULLIN'S POND - THE NEW CLUB
The anniversary of the local sick and burial club was celebrated on Monday by a dinner at the White Horse Inn, but unlike previous years the members did not muster in sufficient numbers to form a procession to church, and that part of the ordinary custom was abandoned. At about noon the members met in the club room for the transaction of business, when it was explained that they had a slight increase in the number of members, and that the funds were improved by about £9. The secretary was unavoidably absent, and the exact details were not forthcoming, but the general appearance was favourable.

ANDOVER - ENTERTAINMENT
Another of those enjoyable entertainments, in which Mrs. Moon and party assist, was given on Monday evening in the Lecture Hall, New Street, when the room was crowded to excess, and in fact many were unable to gain admission. The programme was a varied one, but the nature of the pieces was too high for the majority of the audience, who at present are not educated to the higher class of either music or literature, but would prefer to hear something of a lighter or of a comic nature.
