LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT.--The second of the series of Halfpenny Readings
was held last Tuesday evening at the Literary Institute, the REV. MR.
MILDMAN being voted to the Chair. It will be noticed from the programme
that something more than mere amusement is the aim of these small
gatherings; and, as a means towards the better education of the country,
we need hardly say we wish them all manner of success:--
READING, "_Old Mother Hubbard_" MISS BROWN.
RECITATION, "_Humpty Dumpty_" MASTER JONES.
SONG, "_Twinkle, twinkle, little Star_" MRS. ROBINSON.
RECITAL (in costume), "_Grilling a Grizly_" MR. SMITH.
READING, "_The Humours of Joe Miller_" REV. Z. SNOOKS.
COMIC SONG, "_O, did you twig her Ankle?_" MR. LARKER.
RECITAL, "_My Name is Norval_" MASTER WIGGINS.
GLEE, "_The Cock and Crow_" WOBBLESWORTH WARBLERS.
READING, "_The Bandit's Bride_" REV. H. WALKER.

RECITAL, "_The Haunted Hottentot_" DR. BLOBBS.
COMIC SONG, "_Jolly Miss Jemima_" MR. LARKER.
CHORUS, "_Ri fol de riddle ol_" WOBBLESWORTH WARBLERS.
The company separated at the somewhat advanced hour of half-past nine
o'clock, after spending an enjoyable and instructive evening.
