ATTEMPTED BURGLARY
On Tuesday night an attempt was made to break into the shed of Mrs Orr, grocer, Hamilton Street, Saltcoats.
A pane of glass in the back window was broken and removed, and then an attempt was made to force the inside shutter. This attempt failed, as the shutter is lined with lead and secured with an iron crossbar.

SALTCOATS LITERARY SOCIETY
The monthly “At home” was held on Tuesday evening, and took the form of a Burns Lecture and concert. The lecture hall was filled to overflowing, many of the audience having to be content with standing room.
Provost McIsaac occupied the chair.
Dr. Milroy, of Kilwinning, delivered an eloquent lecture on “The Poetry of Burns,” and paid high tribute to the genius of our national bard, illustrating the lecture with many extracts from the writings of the poet.
Before and after the lecture a concert of Burns’s songs was given in the form of solos, duets, and part songs.
The vocalists were Miss McAusland, Ardrossan; Mrs H. B. Fullerton, Saltcoats; Miss Grierson, Glasgow; and the choir of St. Andrew’s Church, Ardrossan, with Mr H. B. Fullerton as conductor and accompanist.
The lecture was listened to throughout with the closest attention, and was much appreciated.
The concert also was much appreciated, especially the songs by Miss McAusland and Miss Grierson, who is a pupil of Miss McAusland’s.
The customary votes of thanks brought a very successful and enthusiastic meeting to a close.
