NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT. We perceive that
the ladies OF the Second Universalist Church
have prepared an entertainment of rare inter-
est, in aid of their funds, for the use OF the
church now building on the corner OF India
and Congress streets. The advertisement in
another column sets forth the interesting mat
tiers that are to occur on the evenings OF the
10Th and 17th-Thursday and Friday OF this
week. But, after all, it is not SO we'll known
that these entertainments have been in re-
hearsal for some time, and are to be brought
out in very excellent style. The parties en-
gagged in aid OF this good cause are indeed am
ateurs but of so much proficiency that those
who anticipate most delightful treat cannot
be disappointed. We have it from excellent
judges that the entertainment ON the tapis
will be of rare excellence, by no means to be
done by novices. The list of those engaged
shows familiar names, who have won high
praise for truthful delineations.
There will besides be other matters to inter
est and please. The ladies will hold fair
there will be refreshments for those who de-
sire, and Promenade Concert on Friday eve
ming. We look for Il delightful time on these
'"o evenings, anu Tor an attendance Which,
shall fl II our spacions City Hall, so that while
our friends and the public will enjoy them
selves in rational manner, they will besides
have the pleasing consciousness of helping
this worthy society to funds to pay for the
land purchased for the church, and also to aid
them in bringing their beautiful ediice to
completion the coming year. Co. by all means
and cheer the hearts Of these industrious PEG

ensnt broken. The declaration alleged in substance
that the defendant the 9Th OF May, 1885, leased to
the plaintiff what is known the Portland House,
situated on Green street, and covenanted with the
plaintiff that he would keep the cutters in good re-
pair and likewise the outside Of the house. But,
notwithstanding his covenant, the defendant did not
keep the cutters and outside of the house in proper
repair, but suffered the cutters to decay, whereby
the plaintiff was unable properly to supply his house
with water, and also suffered the house SO go I'M
painted and dilapidated. by reason whereof the
plaintiff was greatly injured in his business as
hotel keeper. Damages CLAIMED $1,000.
Defendant denied that the house needed the re-
pairs and says that all the repairs that were
sary we're made promptly.
Testimony all out and arguments to be commenced

We experienced feeling of disappointment
last evening as we entered City Hall and look
ed around upon the audience assembled Not
that the house was a very slim one, because,
under ordinary circumstances it would have
been considered very good audience; but this
was an extraordinary occasion, and we did
hope to see every seat in the hall occupied, and
chairs placed in the alsles We would urge
upon our citizens that if they really desire to
see the organization, that they should be proud
of, not only flourish but simply exist, they must
turn out in such numbers tonight as will make
up for last evenings deficiency.
And what rare treat was that afforded us
last evening. From the opening chorus in st.
Paul to the concluding chorus of Stabat Ma
ter was succession of musical surprises. We
do not intend, neither have we space this morn
ing to indulge in the flowers of rhetoric; we
are compelled to confine ourselves to few
general remarks upon the entertainment
Neither are adiectives needed Everybody
who was present was amply satisfied, and
prouder than ever of the Society, and those
who were not must take our word for it that
they missed delightful evening.
The chief features Of the St. Paul, where all
were excellent, were the subdued, rich and
prayerful rendering OF the chorus "To God on
high" in piano, the soprano solo Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets" by Mrs Weth-
erbee, the air Mrs. Barry, 1.-THE Lord is
mindful" the tenor air of Thurston's 8, "Be thou
faithful" and the chorale, Sleeper wake" and
chorus How lovely are the messengers" But
while the music of st. Paul is true oratorio
music, possessing simple grandeur that is its
appropriate characteristic, the Stabat Mater of
Rossin is so rich in melody that it entrances
the popular ear more surely than the St. Paul
can hope to do. From the opening chorus
"Dolorosa," to the final "Amen," it is sue
cession of such gems of melody, it is full of
such music as stirs up the most sluggish to ad-
miration and even excitement, that it is no
wonder the audience were so anxious for en-
cores. The duett "Quis est homo" was mag
nifcently rendered by Mrs. Wetherbee and
Mrs. Barry, and their voices blended so per-
fectly that the trills seemed almost the work of
one voice. The "Eia Mater was a wonderful
exhibition of drill, sung as it was without an
accompaniment to color it in any way, and the
quartette "Quando Corpus also rendered
without accompaniment seemed as near per-
lection as could be. The "Amen" chorus,
which is most difficult piece of chorus writ
ing and rarely attempted, was sung in man
ner that reflected the highest credit ON both
chorus and conductor
In conclusion we would say that the atten-
ton to time on the part of the chorus was re-
markaDle, and showed how thoroughly they
are taught and how faithfully they abide by
their teaching. OF the Germania Band we
have only to say that their Instrumentation
was, as it always is, marvel of excellence. Of
Miss Dyer, the pianist, that her accompani-
ments were all that were to be desired, and
finally, of Kotzschmar, nothing! His works
spoke for themselves.
