At Cochran's Hall went of according TO
If anything puts wet
blanket on such proceedings it is Just that
sort Of weather, but our young folks are
not SO easily eNtinguishcd, The audience
was larger than could have been expected
md very courteous and appreciatiyc.
The play, "a Change of Base" was ex-
.remely well done for an amateur perfor-
nance, The part of Hezekiah Tarbox
was capitally carried out and brought
down the house in the most enthusiastic
manner. The tableaux were truly beau
.iful. We think Cinderella herself would
not have been more fair than her young
and Pocahontas, if she was
present must have felt quite
,clipsed. Capt. Smith--enyiable youth
has been heard to declare his entire Will
ngness TO suffer all bis trials and perils |
)ycr again II he can only be sure of his |
air rescuer, Altogether the affair was a
uccess and rs .epeiition has been very
requested.
