September 5. 1877. !
Last Friday evening WAS indeed happy
time at this world-rcnowncd watering
place. The news coin. abroad that there
would be grand tahlcauX and charadeS OF
course had the effect 10 convene large,
brilliant, and apprcciatvc audience, and
with the good Judgment OF Mrs. Judge b.,
of Fayetteville, y. c.. to guide in the selec-
ton OF pieces. and with the tasteful eye Of
the charming Mrs. :, Of the Monumental
City, to sec to general arrangement OF posi-
tons on the stage. and with the drdndtiS
persORu composed oil the Elite OF three
states, six counties, and i've cities, the
Young people OF the place got up an enter
tainmcnt which, though hurried, attracted
unusual interest.
At 81 O'Clock the curtains were raised,
and we had the thrilling pleasure OF Wit
Messing Rebecca and Rowena, the charming
and graceful blonde, Miss Lottie s, OF Ash
land, perSonatinS Rowena, and the lovely
brunette, Miss l.. w, Of Baltimore, Rebec-
ca. Miss S. was dressed as bride With
exquisite point lace, and was too lovely and
too tastesully attired for one ever to have
dreamed that she was representative OF
Ashland: and Miss L. W., in kneeling pos
turc, offering jewels, lent charm that was
the admiration OF all, and l could not but
think had Scott witnessed this scene he
could have added fresh charms to bis world
renowned heroineS.
Next in order came Woman's Rights,
which | don't remember very correctly, as
some parts OF it try to forget, particularly
where one appears, believe, at the ballot
box asserting her rights.
Third act, Old Mans Darling and Young
Mans Slave, which showed to perfection
Miss B. W., OF Fayetteville, as Old Mans
Darling; our friend Colonel c., OF Mobile,
as Old Man. | know 4 good many who
would have been pleased TO have personated
old man for once in that scene. Miss NJ. g.,
Il black-cyed beauty OF Lithiayille, appeared
~ the Slave; air. +. ". rs Young Man.
Next, Love and Jealousy. Miss b. W., OF
f., Us Love, aItired in pure white, hair
flowing, and until | beheld her in this
service | knew not the beauty OF love. The
gentle and pretty Miss Cosby, Of D., as
jealousy, in pink with white over-dress,
appeared lovely indeed. Their lovers, Mr..
f. III. and Mr.. Is. NJ, were, OF course, very
loving, but too ugly to be mentioned i'll con-
ncction with these lovely fair ones. II we
have space at the bottom we will try and
mention them.
NeAt, uaiUDiti W nv"
four gentlemen gambling. Miss I.ottie 5.
appears as angel; and it did seem that II
anything would the lovely and angelic face
and form OF Ashland's fair one would have
been sufficient to have w0oed these dashlns
youths from the glare OF the haZard-table.
Next, No Cross No Crown. This, we
think, the best tableau OF the evening.
Miss s.. personating an angel, was SUI
perb representation, rs nothing seemed
wanting, nature having endowed her with
angelic loneliness, and her posture was
grace itself. Towering above earthly beings,
she stood grand and ethereal, with raised
wings, bearing crown in left hand and cross
III right, while beneath crown knelt Miss
e., OF D., in all the beauty OF hope; and on
the right knelt Miss W., Of F., deliberately
attired in black laccs and cardinal silk,
bowed under the cross; and while gazing
and wondering how l might best describe
her / could bat think that there never
lighted upon this orb, which she scarce
seemed TO touch, a more delightful vision.
Next, and the last OF the tableauX, was
+" Three O'Clock in the Morning." Mr.. r. W ;,
OF the neighborhood, pretty tight, Itell you,
coming in at 3, with hair disheyelied, shoes
in hand, walking in sock-feet to prevent
