SPELLING MATCH AT THECATHE-
ORAL.

The Hall was literally crowded; seal ce-
~ standing room could be found. One
of the most amusing features was The
singing of "Grandfsthers Farm Yard,
BY the little boys. Their faithful imita-
ton of the farm yard inhabitants was
quite laughable. The tableauI were most
magnificent. The vocal solos by Mrs.
Whitaker, were magnificent; Mrs. w.
on this occasion surpassed her best efforts
of the past. Miss NJ. Carrick sang very
finely. After the tableaux the spelling
took place, and after considerable con-
tentio the prize, a handsome velvet
bound prayer book, was awarded to Miss
Mary Ellen Burke, & little girl Of thirteen
years.
Then the German spelling match came
oil. Fully one hour was spent in battling
the "duetsche sprechen.'
VIM. BelIinger won II gold breast
min. and Miss X. Belz velvet bound
prayer. book. With the music, singing
and tableaux, this entertainment was,
without doubt the most pleasant affair
which has taken place IN Wheeling this
season. Tho proceeds, the amount OF
which we did not learn, will go to pay
for the new stage lately erected in the
hall.
The announcer for the English match
was Mr. Thomas Reilley and the judges,
Rsv. Father McMcnamin and Rev
Father Kelcher, Father Grill, Of st.
Alphonsus Church, announced for the
Germans, and Father Kreusch acted Us
Judge.
The following is list of the spoilers
in the English and German matches.

A LUDcRoUs catastrophe occurred at
the Island end of the suspension bridge.
A rag gathercr, or one of his kind, was
driving sorry looking mule attached
to a moro delapidatcd wagon. In driv-
ing onto the bridge the hind wheels
caught in the street car track, the coupl-
ing pole or pin broke, and the mule
walked off with the foro wheels, pitching
the rate driver face foremost into the
dust. The mir was perfectly blue in the
neighborhood Of the fallen wagon 70:
several minutes from the sulphurous
fumes of the Dutch curses that were rat
tied in irristble vo.leys at the mute, the
wagon, the railway and fate.
