THE DRUMMER BoY.-Last night the first
rehearsal of the drama entitled "The Drum
mer Boy" took place at Grand Army Hall and
was so successful as to warrant the prediction
that the public performance will be one of the
most complete of the many successful enter
tainments given under the auspices OF Bos-
worth Post. The drama has been revised and
adapted to the occasion and the tableaux will
be among the finest ever witnessed here. 1t
requires hundred or more persons to take all
the parts, but the following are such as we ar g
able to get at this time: Harry Wallingford,
M. M. Loud; Mary Wallingford, Alice Carrie;
Judge Wallingford, j. O. Winship; Mrs.

A New IDEA.-"Phi Rho" writes from bath :
s"The Rev. Mr.. Day, the popular and earnest
Young pastor of the Methodist church IN batn.
has made a change in thsma of taking up
contributions in his Society. He says, II we
are to have women's rights, it should commence
in the church, so he sends some OF his nnes'
looking young ladies around to take up tne con
tri5utions, not with small boxes but WIN soou
sized baskets, which hold peck or less' ana
the best of it is they fill them, too. Az Inc
last Sunday School concert the young iau,eS
got double the amount the men did al .ne
preceding one. The large audience responueu
nobly, especially the young men. Some o.u
fogies at the outset predicted that the alteho-
ance of young men would diminish, but ''ha'
where they made the mistake On the o'her
hand, we would say it has increased.

EASTER MONDAY BALL.-As is usual on the
recurrence Of this annual festival, City Hall
was crow ded last night on the occasion of the
Easter Monday ball, given under the auspices
of the Irish American Relief Association. Not
only were the floor, reception rooms and ap-
proaches to the hall crowded, but the galleries
were filed by quiet audience intent on the
varying scenes on the floor, and apparently de-
lighted with Chambers delicious music. 1t
was remarked by many spectators that the
company on the floor was one of the larges t.
best dressed and best appearing of the season
Many of the ladies were elegantly and taste
fnll, attired. On the floor the committee of
the association enforced the utmost decorum
and Mr. R. III. Parker, the floor manager, and
his assistants gave universal satisfaction. The
order of dances was admirably adapted to
such an occasion, and Chambers music, as
usual was difficult to .excel. The committee
of the l. A. R. A. may congratulate themselves
on the highly successful character of their
great annual ball.

Rev. Mr.. Burrageof this city, preached in
Augusta last Sunday.
Mr.. ii. w. Tilden, now at the Newton Theo-
logical Seminary, has accepted call from the
Baptist church in Augusta, and will be or
dained and enter upon his duties as pastor the
last of August.
The closing lecture of the Turner course was
delivered in the Baptist church on Friday eve
ming, March Goth, by the Hon. Josiah Drum
mend of this city. The subject was "Secret
Societies"
Chief Justice Appleton has returned from
his vacation trip to the South and West, in ex-
cellent health.
We are gratified to be able to state that the
report that Mr. Richards, the capable and
popular scenic artist at the Museum. is to leave
that place of amusement, is incorrect. ME-.
Richards has done much for the amusement OF
theatre-going public, and the Museum and Its
patrons could i'll afford to lose him.

WARDS OPERA HoUsE.-Judged by the
opening night Wards spring campaign is des'
tined to prove success. Last night the floor
and galleries were crowded and standing room
only, could be obtained after the performance
commenced Ward has returned witha company
much improved over that which was here
in the fall. The songs and jokes are fresher,
and several taking novelties have been intro
dueed, notably the double voiced tenor, Harry
blanchard. The gynnastic feats of the La
mont brothers were something wonderful.
Barney McNulty met with his usual success
and Minnie Grey otherwise known as the Slit
tle Comet, pleased the audience immensely.
Altogether the show is one of Wards best and
will doubtless succeed in filling Music Hall
nightly.
