The Lions’ Club, the Rotarians and the Kiwanians obseryed the occasion with enthusiastic “sings” at their weekly luncheons. Among the interesting factors in this second annual celebration was a splendid recital at St. Mary’s Cathedral on May 24 by John J. McClellan, organist of the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake City, Utah. He appeared through the efforts of Mrs. T. J. Cahill, the organist of the Cathedral. A large audience was present to greet the musician, whose program was comprehensive and varied. Mrs. A. W. Woodruff’s charming soprano voice was heard in Bizet's Agnus Dei and the Largo by Handel. The accompaniments were furnished by Mr. McClellan.

Eastport, Me., June 8.—This section has just witnessed the most vivid and spectacular event in several years at the annual celebration by the Passamaquoddy Indians at Indian village of the religious festival of Corpus Christ¡. This is the only spot in the State and one of the few in the entire country where the impressive procession is conducted in the open air. The music is always beautiful and sung entirely by the Indians. High mass was celebrated at the chapel on the reservation. There is a choir of many trained voices. Indian altar boys assisted the priests and at conclusion of the mass eloquent sermons were preached by visiting priests. The solemn procession was formed at the front chapel entrance for the long march through the narrow and hilly streets of the reservation. The marshal carried a large golden cross. There followed two Indian boys in robes, carrying large candles, Sisters of Mercy, many Indian girls dressed in white with white veils, bearing beautifully colored Indian baskets, and Indian boys of the Sunday School intoning the ancient services of the church. The procession moved slowly up the hill, chanting as it went and sounding strikingly like a Wagnerian processional.	L. N. F.
Evansville, Ind., June 9.—A number of At Home Musicales have been given during the winter by Mrs. W. C. Welborn and Mrs. J. Mitchel Humphries, at the home of Mrs. Welborn.

Mrs. Humphries was assisted by Alvin Strickler, harpist; Louise Cavender, and Helen Oslage, pianists; Edna Oslage, coloratura soprano; Minnie Humphries, cellist; Hansi Humphries, soprano, and Henry Humphries, flutist.
