ANDOVER - ENTERTAINMENT
Another of those enjoyable entertainments, in which Mrs. Moon and party assist, was given on Monday evening in the Lecture Hall, New Street, when the room was crowded to excess, and in fact many were unable to gain admission. The programme was a varied one, but the nature of the pieces was too high for the majority of the audience, who at present are not educated to the higher class of either music or literature, but would prefer to hear something of a lighter or of a comic nature.

WHITCHURCH - THE NEW RAILWAY
Rapid progress is being made here with the new railway, one example of which is worthy of record, viz., that of the arch over the road leading from Bell Street. This arch was begun on the 2nd March and completed on the 28th April. It is 80ft. long, and contains upwards of 144,000 cubic feet of brick and flint work.
