The programme embraced some seven or eiuht
chorusses, sung by the children, three semi-cho-
USES sung by portion of the girls, duet and
a SOLO In the musical part, interspersed with ad-
dresses, recitations. dialogues colloouies &c
Each piece was short, few extending over three
or four minutes, which was, in our judgment,
point of good taste in the arrangements and
made the whole affair lively and entertaining.

iaied, ana some things were excellent, which
evidenced great care and attention on the part of
the superintendents and teachers.
Nothing could exceed the beauty of one little
piece, "The Little STAR" which was spoken in
clear aud distinct tone by Master Andiew IipS
comb, OF the Massachusetts avenue school a bov
only four years Of age, and was then sung by two
little girls, who stood by him while he spoke

The song, 1.-The Merry Sunshine ;" by a Young
miss OF the Tenth street Baptist School was

concert be repeated
LAST NIGHT, the merry folks, big and little,
white and colOred, spent a jolly time after the
fashion that pleased them best. The guards and
police were kept busy until late hour, quieting
some who could be quieted and arresting others
who would not. Whisky and Lager appeared to
be plentiful, and OF particularly Intoxicating
and belligerent quality consequently the games
began at an early hour.
First, a number of colored danes In Hog alIev
entered the ring and fought until some of the
whipped party started for the police
Next. two parties of Juveniles rallyjnp under
the names OF 'Tigers" and ..Buttefnuts ;, got
into a stone-fsht on the Avenue, i'm the Third
anu foui'n wards, greatly endangering heads
and shins in that vicinity 6y the volley of stone,
and brickbats thrown in the conflict
Next, number of Young gentlemen near the
corner OF Ninth and ID streets, raised "muss,n
which came near ending in fight. This wa,

Skins ;"

force in active service, and the night proved Ia
be profitable to the police officers though very
expensive To their customers.
