(abridged) :
The last of the entertainments of the season was given at the Schools on Friday evening the 10th. Perhaps it was the most enjoyable of them all. The music was good; most of the singers were new to a Bream audience; and the dramatic entertainment received a careful rendering in the hands of Mr. Mullan and his willing band of assistants. The program was as follows :-
