day night. Prof. Melville was An

Crafty and Dick Jack Riley, Referees,
Z. &. Crafty, Teller, and our humble
self Treasurer. The sides consisted of
nine each, and the audience contained
slightly more than that number. The
total receipts were just $40, which
amount will doubtless relieve all the
poverty in hejurisdictson OF the Bell
aire Relief Committee, to which body
it was donated. a novel plan, that of
sandwiching the sides, was adopted.
By sandwiching we mean placing
members OF the two sides alternately
in the same row. By this means
prompting is effectually prevent d.
This plan is the one adopted by "spirit
mediums to prevent interruption Of
their phenomena, and this one inven-
ton is the good that spiritualists have
brought forth. 1t is Invaluable at
spelling school! The exercises did not
begin until $50. owing to the meeting
of the Sd Ward Republican Conven-
ton. All of the Intelligent folks in
town being Republicans, of course
while these We're elsewhere engaged
no crowd could be collected.

THE NEW PREACHER

SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
The reception given by the pupils
of the public schools at School Hall on
ist Friday evening was greeted with Il
somewhat larger audience than that
which grated the hall on the following
night. In fact, the audience was en-
tirely 100 large for comfort. For this
reason the entertainment will be re-
peated at some future day. AS an in
formal affair, the exhibition was de-
cided success, except as to order. Sew
eral of the little Misses who presided at
the piano show a wonderful talent for
the position, and quite ii thorough ed
ucation in the rudimentS of music.
The readings were also good; especially
So was that of The Love of Huldah,
which in our opinion is as difficult to
correctly render orally as any of the
piec = most frequently read by profess
sionals OF the dialogues Gf IA 'dia-
loyue' can have Il half dozen or so
the allegorical little play
Glory Was the most artistically ar
ranged for, and was delivered in
manner very satisfactory to the hear
ers. Bellaire and her schools may
themselves npon its sue
cess.
