SCHOOL EXHIBITION.

The great event OF the season In
Phoebe, the school exhibition. came of
at Hanly's Hall Tuesday evening. Al
though the exhibition was not TO com.
mence until s O'Clock, by halt past seven
every seat in the hall was occupied. and
such rush continued from that time
that the Trustees were obliged to send
out for extra benches 10 accommodate
the audience.
The first on the programme was q
piano solo by Miss Laura Goodrich,
teacher OF the primary school. Miss
Goodrich's talent as pianist is too we'll
known to need any enoomiums from US.
The farce OF Hans Won SMASH" by a
number OF pupils OF the grammar school.
was well performed. every one knowing
their parts and the young ladies' and
gentlemen acquilting themselves admir-
ably. The characters OF " Hans" by
Adolph Jacobs. and tbs "Servaut Girl"
by Mollie Adams. were particularly
noticeable for pretty fair rendition OF
characters.
The farce was suoceSded by q duet,
sung by Misses Bessie Clymo and Matte
CORN, entitled, "Kiss No and I'll Go to
Sleep" the singing of which was very
pleasant 10 the ear. done in good style
| and ahnwSnn annh Untnnu aH,.k
numbers OF the males there were willing
to perform the operation and not ask the
performers to 60 to sleep either.
Miss Nellie Saunders, Ella Sparks,
Georgia Drew, Mamie Buck and James
O'Connor. followed the duet by declama-
tions. well spoken and perfect In recita-
ticn. Jimmy O'Connor seemed to be
tho favorite with the audience in his de-
elimination. The dialogue between Ed.
Winnen aud Johnny Lynch was short
and contained very good moral. which
the boys who spoke it 80 we'll will do
we'll to remember. The piano duet by
Miss Goodrich aud Stella Armer gave tho
audience a musical treat, who showed
their appreciation by frequent rounds of
| applause. The junior young lady is i'm
proving very fast; she will soon vie with
her teacher, who was accompanying her
on the piano The comedy of "Tobias
Turpip.op, which was participated in
by all the elder male scholars, created
much laughter. Arthur Buck, Charley
Craig and Master Prudential doing well
with the characters which they repre-
sented. The song sung by Miss Bessie
Clymo WAS credit to that young lady,
but most Of the audience lost the benefit
Of It by the misbehavior of one of the
children. The FIRST part Of the perform
ance was wound up by declarations and
dialogues by number Of the school
| children.
The second part was inaugurated by q
piano solo by Miss Stella Armer. Al.
though this young lady seemed to be q
little frightened at playing before 90
many, yet she acquitted herself very
oreditsbly. "Courtship Under Diff.
culties," song by Miss Matte CORN
and = recitation by Miss Laura Good
rich followed rapidly, passing of we'll.
They were followed by declarations by
Ed. Prudential. Arthur Loomis, Stella
Armer, Charley Loomis. john Sheath
and - Clark. John Sheath recited .
portion Of an old Liberty speech. and
done it In such an effective manner that
it brought rounds Of applause from the
audience. Young Sheath promises to be
a fine speaker. Willie Dooley's i'm
personation OF thenegro in q dialogue
was very good. A piano solo Was given
by Miss Goodrich. and then came the
farce of "Box and Cox" played by
Charley Craig. Charley Goodrich aud
Mollie Adams, as Bounce" tho land
lady. The numerous hits and jokes were
we'll gotten off and pleased the audience
very much. This wound up the exhibi.
ton, and we but express the sense Of
the entire audience in saying that Mr..
Kline and Miss Goodrich showed to the
very best advantage by the perfect man
ner in which the scholars Under their
charge all acquitted themselves, letting
ax.payers and parents know that money
spent on public schools is not wasted.
Tho Trustees return thanks to Frank
Wells for the FREQ use Of the hall for ths
occasion, to DR.. Philson for the use Of
the Piano, to E. McEvoy and assistants
for moving the piano to and from the
hall, and to Joseph Poujads for furnish
ing q programme for tho use of the
audience; also to the volunteers who
assisted in making tho performance such
success.
