HUME ITs of three jovial huntsmen, an' a hunting they did go; also. Look ye there! An' one said, "Mind yo'r e'en, an' keep yo'r noses reet i' th' wind, An' then by scent or seet, we'll leet o' summat to our mind." Look ye there! They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the first thing they did find One said it was a boggart, an' another he said "Nay; They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the next thing they did find One said it was a grindlestone, another he said "Nay; away." Look ye there! They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the next thing they did find Was two-three children leaving school, an' these they left behind. Look ye there! One said that they were children, but another he said "Nay; They're no' but little angels, so we'll leave 'em to their play." Look ye there! They hunted, an' they hollo'd, an' the next thing they did find Was two young lovers in a lane, an' these they left behind. Look ye there! One said that they were lovers, but another he said "Nay; They're two poor wanderin' lunatics-come, let us go away." Look ye there! So they hunted, and they hollo'd, till the setting of the sun; An' they'd nought to bring away at last, when th' huntin'day was done. Look ye there! Then one unto the other said, "This huntin' doesn't pay; But we'n powler't up an' down a bit, an' had a rattlin' day." Look ye there! SONG.... "The Better Land." REV. F. G. HUME.

THE CHOIR. (With Orchestral Accompaniment) ONCE on a time, so I've been told, Shining with coral, pearl, and gold, "Come dwell with me," the Triton said, Then she leapt in, and of her fate, No one amongst her kin knows, To the Triton, 'mongst the minnows. ...Molloy CHORUS “ΕΥΙΠΠΟΥ, ΞΕΝΕ, ΤΑΣΔΕ ΧΩΡΑΣ” Mendelssohn's Oedipus Coloneus SUNG BY FORMER MEMBERS OF THE CHOIR.
