Besides being a record of an interesting event, it shows the public what happened to the building itself about which there is so much controversy. The walls have been completely razed, and nothing remains but the library. [end clipping] [start clipping] ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN AT LANSDOWNE PARK --- Under the direction of the Soldiers' Service Club a splendid entertainment was given at Lansdowne Park, where the Divisional Signallers are stationed. Major Thompson gave a short and interesting address. Lieut. B. C. Hilliam very creditably rendered a piano solo; Sert. S. E. Adamson, a baritone solo, and Mr. W. J. Nixon sang a tenor solo. Sappers Fraser, Cain Jones and Anderson also sang, and Miss Shoemaker accompanied them upon the piano. The club served cake and coffee, and old friends had an opportunity to shake hands with Capt. Hadley and his bride. [end clipping] Nov. 9 - 1916. [annotation in ink]
