most brilliant sOtreeS ddnSdnteS of the season.
with flags ana emblems Of all the corps Or ace
of the late war. Cages with canary birGis v e
hung from the chandeliers and wall brackets.
and the music of these warblers was heard con-
tinually during the intermissions of the music.
Charles r. Dodworth arranged all of the music
expressly for the occasion, and 1t was exceed
ingly appropriate. Dodworth led in the lower
hail, and Beck swayed the baton in the upper
saloon. The National Guards were present in
large numbers and in iull uniform. The First
City Troop were represented by q number OF
the members of that ancient and honorable
corps, in full uniform, which is known to be
equal to any military equipage In Europe Tor
splendor and costliness. Everybody was de-
lighted with the arrangements and the Guards
earned anew title last night to their admirable
motto, Mon Sibi Sed pro PdtriCe."
THE WHEATLEY DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION
We have had, for the past seven years, very
modest institution, known as the "Wheatley
Dramatic Association" giving weekly perform
ances. This association is composed of some o
our best young men, and conducted In an able
manner. Since their organization they have
occupied the old Martha Washington Hall, No
232 S. Second street, but finding their number
increasing and the accommodations entirely
too small for the friends who attend their per
formances, they have taken magnificent hal
in the southern section of the city, and are now
fttingi it up, and expect to give the opening en-
tertainment about the 18th of April. The build
ing is under the supervision of Mr.. Rush, the
architect of the Arch Street Theatre, and every
thing is to be finished in the most elaborate
STYLE
