CAsusPs SECOND MAY FESTIVAL Another
one OF those wonted Nav scenes of festive amuse
neht, which so delight the young and interest
ana entertain those more mature in age came of
ns. evening at Wizards Concert Hall under the
ouecnon of that distinguished caterer for the
Runhc amusement in this respect Mr.. L. Carusi
nis soltee was repetition Of the one recently
neia az the Assembly Rooms; and, notwithstapd-
sng une marked success that attended that truly
enjoyable entertainment, we must be permitted
70 say that the one Of last evening exceeded even
THIS In the display Of beauty and the general ac-
eepsableness Of the entertainment. The weather
was unusually pleasant and the scholars, who
Were tastefully and elegantly apparreled, In re-
narkaoly happy mood, as apparently were also
the Others present, of whom there was a large
number, though not too many to render 1t uncom-
portable few minutes after eight the grand
march by the accomplished pupils, preparatory to
the coronation exercise, commenced and showed
how well disciplined they had been by their en-
inent Professor The march being concluded, a
very bright and interesting little boy neatly at
uted In white satin, walked with a firm step from
the platform to the other end of the hall holding
In his hand lovely wreath Of flowers, with
which the Queen miss Tenney) was to be
| crowned. Returning in like manner he ap-
preached the queen, who had by this time taken
position on the platform with her maids of honor
on either side, and, after bowling very gracefully,
presented the wreath to one of her maids, who In
few appropriate words, placed the same on the
brow OF the fair queen. The queen acknowl-
edged the honor i'm a graceful and easy manner
sub]ects) In neat and very pretty address
shortly after the coronation. dozen or more of
tne japanese, accompanied by Lieut. Porter of
the naval committee, and Mr.. Portman, the inter-
prefer entered the hall through the entrance lead
Ing into the hotel. immediately there was a
universal rush of those In the room toward this
spot, all seeming eager to get glance of the dis
uhsulshed visitors. The band at the same time
sHuck up nstlonal air, when they were escorted
to the platform and invited to OCCUPY the seats
there provided for them. The long list of fancy
dances was then gone through with by the
pupils, who endeavored by their performances
ana smiling faces to get the approving smiles of
their japanese spectators. And in this we NAV
add, they happily succeeded; for pleasant smiles
OF appreciation We're constantly bestowed by them
upon tnelr young and interesting performers
with the exercise of dancing they always seem
delighted; but particularly so on this occasion as
thls Is the first time they had the opportunity of
Witnessing these beautiful fancy dances. The
gaudy manner in which most of the Young pupils
were dressed also tended to strike them most
favorably When any one performance appeared
10 especially crafty them, they would manifest
thelr delight by turning one to the other and
making some pleasant remark This was not
overlooked by the children and in their various
dances they always cast side glance toward the
japanese 10 see II they were particularly noticed
L ne nst OF fancy dances being through the II oor
was thrown open to the others present who en-
Joyed the merry dance until the Hsmall wee hours
OF morning" The japanese remained sometime
after the fancy dances were through.
