The Six xteenth Anniversary Of the
shields Library Association Cole.
hrAted Last Evening.

bFate0 Last Evening.
The tasty and pleasant room of the
Shields Library Association, in Lieber-
mans building, at the corner of Market
and Fifth streets, presented an unusually
bright and attractive appearance last
evening, upon the occasion of the cele-
bration Of that organizations sixteenth
anniversary. Quite large number of
spectators were present, the majority of
them being tie relatives and friends of
the members.
The exercises of the evening opened
with an address by the president, Mr..
Edward +. Kane, who devoted his re-
marks chiefly to review Of the Library.
He touched upon the first organization
which took place sixteen years ago, and
told how 8 young men, while rambling
along the Brandywine one day, suddenly
concluded to organize library assOcia-
ton for their mutual improvement,
Among them were the following: W.
II. Ryan, James Mealey, Robert Elliott,
John Kane, j. McElwee, VIM. McMona-
gle and John McElwee. For some time
the new association was without name
but II finally, at the suggestion ofRobert
Elliott, adopted the name it now bears,
In favor of General Shields, who at that
time was brave soldier, and who has
since represented three States in Con-
gress. Since that time the association
has grown rapidly and prospered much.
From its members at that time, the
membership has increased to 265. When
IL was first started IL possessed but one
volume and now 1t has over 5O).
The first room they occupied was q
small room on klund street which was
owned by one of the members. Some
time after this they moved to the old
Crouch building, No. 30S King street
and after that to the third story back
room in the building they are now In.
Here they remained three years and then
removed to the room they now occupy.
At the conclusion of the Presidents
address, the whole assembly was invited
to refreshments, and after they had
been partaken of the exercises were re-
sumed.
Messrs. Tonner and Walker first sang
duet, "Larboard Watch, in fine style
Mr. Lewis Preston then sang a solo, the
"Pretty Red Rose" which was encored
Mr.. James Doughety next threw the
audience into great merriment with {
comic selection and VIM. f. Carey sanl
comic song that was well rendered
and highly appreciated by the audience
James Currans followed with sole
"Biight Sunny Days Long Ago." Three
, recitations came next, viz: "John May
nard," by 7. S. Dougherty; "Fontenoy,
by John ]. Mullin; and "Barbar,
, Fritchie," by b. }. Sweeney.
, Lewis Preston rendered q guitar sol,
in very pleasing and mastery manner
Quite a number of other solos and selec
tions were given, all Of which seemed tc
be much enjoyed.
q The Association is in very flourish
5 ing condition and great credit was re
. fected upon the members by the success
!, of the entertainment. The room the,
( occupy has recently been newly carpet
q ed and refitted throughout. An excur
