A GRAND ENTERTAINMENT
Second Night.

Notwithstanding the darkness, mud and
rain last evening the second night of the
Congregational entertainment drew even
larger attendance than the ffst and, to all
appearances, with fair weather. the ladies
could have kept the town hall filled every
evening of this week. Their great success
has surprised themselves, but circumstances
beyond their control compel them, in
theatrical parlance, to withdraw the piece
in the hight of it's prosperity--the hall be-
ing engaged for other purposes and the
lady managers are also quite tired out with
their efforts.
The character of the entertainment was
varied by the introduction, last evening, of
music and -tableaux. Lady Washington
and her friends therefore took supper an
hour earlier and soon after the curtain rose
on duet by May Blanchard and Frank
Quinn in the song of
"Look mo in the eye, Johnnie"
The first tableaux, "Night dispelled by
conquering morning." was represented by
Miss Annie Slmons and Mrs. Holcomb
Then came n Duet by Mr.. II. w. Kingsley
and Mr.. Henry Bailey, followed by
charade in three acts with music 1.-THE
Triton" a quartette by Mrs Metzke, Miss
Olmsead, Mr.. Pease and MIR. Bailey,
elected applause as did the song proceed
ing. The tableaux of Jealousy was next
I
well and Miss Hattie Morris representing
the characters. After comic song by Mr..
f. A. Morse, the tableaux the "Sculptor's
triumph was represented by Mrs Milling
ton, Miss Jenness, Mrs. Henry Kingsley,
Mrs. Nicholson and John Pease The
laughing song trio which followed was a
complete success, laughing itself prema-
turely OF the stage and set all the audience
in laugh. The tableauy of Washington
crossing the Delaware, contained beside
the General, Mr.. Bailey, MIR Dyer, Mr..
Barrett, Mr.. Golding and Mr.. Edgerton,
was true to the old representation in the
engraving formerly so common. Some
thought the aid de-camps looked little
too well fed, taking into consideration the
privations and suffering of that winters
campaign 100 years ago. Mr. Bagley
battled maniully with the ice and the
communicable chief looked forward with
evident confidence in manifest destiny.
Every ore was pleased with the songs
and tableaus, and upon chair conclusion
devoted themselves to tn, cream and
cake. Mrs. A. +. Davis presided over
cake which all who wished to guess the
weight of could by paying for the privilege,
and large number who had confidence in
their superior judgment recorded them
selves in pounds and ounces varying from
six to fifteen pounds. The fortunate man
who took the cake was the man who had
named ten pounds. Mrs +. NJ Edgerton
appeared in Indian costume, carrying
rather harmless looking bow. Mr.. Archie
l.. SHELDON appeared as George A. Wash
ington, the bridegroom member of the
Washington family. Mr. j. II. Dyer well
well represented Mad Anthony Wayne, and
Mr.. Barrett as abide camp.
&C. Special mention should be made of Mr.
and Mrs. II L. Adams and Mr.. and Mrs
j. a. Barney, who took charge of the cloak
room, a disagreeable task, and performed
the duty without a single mistake, either
evening. Mrs. Gen Ripley should be men
toned in connection with the cafe which
was SO euccessful-its bling gotten up so
costly and aristicly. and the character of
French waiting maid being so perfectly
expensive dol that Miss Wardwell made
remains unsold. and will be for disposal
tonight at the Mother Goose entertainment
at the Congregational chapel
