The entertalnml it referred to
in our last issue, AID which was
given by an amataur club, for
the benefit Of the ST bbath school
library, was a COMPLETE success
in every particula taking into
consideration the Snort time the
young ladies and Gentlemen en-
gagged had for preIaration. The
programme consiS&d Of music,
acting charades 4ad tableauX.
We had intended 9 give a de-
tailed report Of eaS.l piece pre-
sented, but owing 10 a lack of
space, our readers EQust be CON
tent with q brief ltlina.
The first charado presented was
"Kritsingles," by me nbers of Prof.
McKio's school, TI piece in its
conception as We'll al in the manner
Of It's presentation ecmed full of
enjoyment, and the orformers did
full justice to The aarts assigned
them. The "Nelson i&mily," consist
ing Of Mrs. Nelson, -.iss Cora and
Fred. Nelson, in wh'th Miss Lucy
King, Miss Allie et,ernethy and
Master James McCal b appeared in
the order named, wa8 presented ina
very creditabIe manhor, and "Uucle
Tim Jones'" By Mr. II. Greenhaw,
"Aunt Betsy Jones, by Miss Ethel
Abcrnethy, and "Sar h Jane Jones'
by Miss Fannie Was. n, appeared in
a manner seldom eauaIed on the
mimic stage, and Wilde Miss Minnie
Gordan did fall and maple Justice to
the character Of geese Maynard"
Miss Allie Huddles 5n, as @Josie
Kritsil gle" brought 5oWn tbehou
in roars OF laughter; 8ad finally, our
good looking friend, D, Symonds,
represented thatpolished gentleman,
"Julius Adolphns ialzsoodle," in
true blue style.
"Changeable" was next presented,
by Miss MoIhe Price. as oMaggie
Lee" Miss Jennie Prise, as her Ser
want; Mr.. E. G. Henderson, as
"CharleS Smythe, Msn .)has. Turney,
~ 50 hej G,a5a,5 laletfvs5ssss, nc
Sharp, as "Mrs. Montgomery" All
the characters in this play were not
only creditably but artistically pre-
sented. The Misses Price and Mrs.
Sharp are entitled to high encomi-
ums for the perfect manner in which
they appeared.
"Footprint," the third charade, in
which Will, Edmondson appeared
as "Mr. Symonds," Miss Minnie Tur-
ney as "Mrs. Symmonds," Miss Kate
Cochran as "Migs Beatrice" Master
Jas. McCaleb as "Archlbald," Mr.. R.
E. Huddleston as "Stephen Fletch-
er," and Mr.. B. G. Noel as 'lIr.
Meyers" a detective, was also repre-
sented in the best possible manner.
Misses Turney and Cochran proved
themselves possessed of true dra-
matte merit; and their support con-
vinced the audience that they were
in every way worthy of their places.
The last cbarade, "Library," was
very creditably produced, and was
received with high appreciation.
Mrs. G. W. Davidson appeared as
"Mrs. Gray" Miss Minnie Turney'
as Evelyn Gray" Miss Mamie
Brown as "Miss Mary Gray" Mr..
Thos, McCaleb as Naughty Dick"
Mr.. J. B. McCaleb as "Mr. Brown,
the gen'lman wild eahs," and Mr.. G.
B, Noel as "MrsHansen," Too much
credit cannot be accorded to those
participating in this piece, Mrs.
Davidson played the partial parent
to perfection; Miss Turney, as the
"Chawming Miss Evelyn" appeared
to great advantage; Miss Mamie
Brown, as the straight forward
Mary" proved herself q star; and
while Nj. Jno. 3. Atccaleb, with his
twenty twunks," as the "Chawmed
Mr.. Brown and MI. G. B. Noel, as
the sedate and sensible "Mr. Han
SON." delighted the audience, Mr.,
Tom Mccaleb, with his "wahoo-ah,"
in derision to "Bwown," created
much laughter.
The entertainment, altogether, was
a good thing; but we must suggest
to some of our young friends one
improvement-that is, speak little
louder and more distinctly hereafter.
