LADIES, AUXILIARY SOCIETY.
The first entertainment given under the aus
pices Of the Ladies' Auxiliary Cemetery Asso-
citation, took place in the Court House last
Friday night. Although the Society had not
fully completed it's organization in the brief
time intervening since the inception OF the
enterprise and but little time had been devo-
ted to preparation for the first performance,
vet the entertainment was success in every
respect, and many were agreeably disappoin-
ted, not only in the character of the pieces
presented, but also the highly creditable man
ner in which the young ladies and gentlemen
acquitted themselves IN the various roles they
assumed. Only charades and tableaux were
attempted on this occasion, but the style Of
acting quite compensated for the absence OF
something heavier, and afforded fund of
amusement and entertainment for large and
delighted audience
In The Hoyde,,, the characters were person.
ated as follows George Grant, young stu
dent, Withers Adickes; Mrs. Harding, a veal
thy widow, Miss Annie Adickes; Jennie, her
step-daughter-the Hoyden-Miss, Annie E.
Ross Miss James, a school mistress, Miss
Minnie Smith.

Green, q widow, Miss Bessie Gist Seraphina,
her daughter, Ia fashionable young LADY,, Miss

in, (the maid of all work), Miss Annie Raw

cast Of characters Count Lorenzo de Vaurien,

The tableau Night, was represented by Miss
Mamie Currell holding starlit azure canopy
over two sleeping infants; and in the tab
leau Shakespeare reading Macbeth before Queen
Elizabeth, a large number Of ladies and gentle
men formed pleasing picture Of this hjstori-
cal scene. 90 ..i5l
Altogether it was really meritorious enter
tainment; and where all so well acted their
parts, it would seem unjust to discriminate
with special criticism, yet we may be par
doned for mentioning Miss Ross and Miss
Rawlinson as young ladies possessing dramat-
ic talent in high degree OF course every
appearance of Joe Colcock was the 'inyariable
signal for laughter. While his forte is in
Dutch characters, he nevertheless personated
the French dancing master and the Irish wait
inp-man with marked success.
To Prof. N. Schmitt the audience is also
greatly indebted for the rendition between the
acts of several fine pieces on the violin, in his
inimitable style. And for the general success
of the entertainment, due credit should be
accorded to Mrs. Faulconer and Misses Minnie
Rawlinson and Sue F. Lowry for the zeal and
mtiring exertion they displayed IN assisting
to present the entertaigment to the public.
A second entertainment is promised at no
distant day, which, we feel sure, willbe greet
ed by large audience.
