The last Brompton Hospital entertainment of the twenty-first season took place on Tuesday, April 17, and consisted of the comedy of "Meg's Diversion," the characters being sustained by Miss F. Vivian (as Margaret Crow), Miss S. Vivian (Cornelia Crow), Miss Chamberlain (Mrs. Netwell), Mr. E.F. Nugent (Jeremy Crow), Mr. H. Duff (Sir Ashley Merton), the Hon. R. Somerset (Roland Pigeon), Mr. Earle (Eytem), and Mr. George C. Nugent (Jasper Pigeon). The whole performance, which was exceedingly well acted, called forth repeated expressions of delight from the patients, who were indebted for this enjoyable entertainment to the ever-ready kindness and sympathy of Mr. George C. Nugent, Grenadier Guards. The Hon. Mrs. Charles Eliot (pianoforte) and the Misses Eliot (violin and violoncello) played a selection of music during the evening.

St. Germans Church Restoration.---
The harvest thanksgiving services at St. Germans Church celebrated on Wednesday were of a more interesting character than in former years, consequent on the work of restoration which is in progress. It is remarkable that this large and ancient edifice, thought once the Cathedral church of the Cornish diocese, is without a chancel. This neglect of its architect, or it may be the work of later renovators, has now been remedied, at least temporarily. Miss Eliot, elder daughter of Colonel the Hon. C.G.C. Eliot, having designed a beautiful screen, the eastern part of the church is separated by it, and forms an unique and effectual chancel. The screen, which is a work of artistic skill, was placed in position by the Countess of St. Germans and the lady visitors at Port Eliot. Holy Communion was celebrated at half-past eleven service; those held during the afternoon and evening were fully choral. Prayers were intoned by the Rev. E. Buck, curate-in-charge, the lessons being read by the Revs. D. Jenkins and H.N. Wheeler. Two appropriate and eloquent sermons were preached, and the one in the afternoon by the Rev. Sylvanus Gregory, that in the evening by the Rev. Joseph Hammond, vicar of St. Austell. A public tea, partaken of during the interval between the afternoon and evening services, was largely attened, and the arduous efforts of Mr. Buck and his co-helpers in the parish met with well-earned success. Collections made on behalf of the Organ Restoration Fund amounted to over ten pounds.----

A very successful concert was given in St. Germans Townhall last evening, in connection with the Mutual Improvement Society. The programme opened with a brilliantly executed piano solo, Handel's gavotte, by the Hon. Mrs. Eliot, who was also heard to advantage in an instrumental trio for piano, violin and violoncello, the two latter instruments being played most skillfully by Miss Eliot and Miss Evelyn Eliot respectively. An artistically rendered solo by Miss E. Eliot on the 'cello was greatly enjoyed. Miss A. May sang with good effect, as did also Miss Evelyn Warren, and both were encored. They also gave a duet with great taste and expression. Mr. W.G. Broad also contributed to the evening's enjoyment. There was only a fair attendance.
