MARYPORT AMATEUR'S RECOR
          FOR  CHARITIES.
                ______

TREASURER'S LONG SERVICE
              MEDAL.
               ______

      LOSS BY DEATH.    The Maryport Amateur Operatic Society held their  annual meeting at the
Seaman's Institute, Maryport, on Monday night. Mr. H. O.  MARSDEN presided, and
referred to the death of Mr. R. COULTHARD, who had been a  member since the
Society's inception and had always been a keen member of the  committee and
chorus. The Society's loss, Mr. MARSDEN said, was deeper than  merely the loss of
his executive ability because he was a very dear friend  of them all and was
a man of genial disposition. Mr. MARSDEN hoped that the  spirit of harmony
and good will that he tried to engender would be lived up to  by the members.
The members stood in silent sympathy.

   Mr. A. HIRST, the secretary, in presenting his  annual report, stated
that the Society was in it's 21st year. Mr. GRAHAM had  been treasurer the whole
of that time, and he hoped that he would qualify for  the long service medal
of the National Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society  given for 25 years of
service. Mr. HIRST congratulated the young members on  their keenness and
ability that had been shown during their last production,  "The Girls of Gottenberg."

   The treasurer, Mr. A. GRAHAM, in his report  regretted to say that he was
not able to show a credit balance on the year's  working. However, he
considered it ver satisfactory in view of the industrial  state of the town.

   Mr. MARSDEN in proposing the adoption of the  reports, stated that 3,700
people were at their last show. When they considered  that there were about
1,700 unemployed in the town, it showed that the public  enjoyed the show.

   A letter from the Victoria Cottage Hospital was  read thanking the
Society for their splendid effort.
