FOURTH sTRIET N. E. soctAL,-The
Ladies' Social Union, Of the Fourth Street
n. =. Church, gave one Of their truly en-
joyable entertainments In the lecture
room Of the above named church last
evening. The affair was In charge Of the
members oithe congregation whose names
begin with III, ''and, ne Inc TLIstS include
the Little" as well as the great, the logi.
cal conclusion TO be deducted d, that Il
could have been nothing else but "Suc.
cesstul success" Last evenings social
was Of unusual Importance and interest,
from the fact that Il was the last OF the
Conference year, and also being the first
after the long summer vacation. These
facts, coupled with the wide reputation
for social enjoyment the Unions" on.
Joy III the city, served to bring out an un.
usually large audience, not forgetting,
however, that the previously announced
programme also served as an attraction OF
no small importance.
The supper was served from early In
the evening on, and, while not heing able
to- speak from an appeased appetite or
atickled palate, we unreseryedly take the
evidence Of those who tasted Of It's deli.
cacles and dainties, who pronounced il
the best In the history Of socials. Those
we heard speak were knownto have stall.
wart appetites and sensitive palates, and
their commentator Is something to brag
OF.
The "ieast Of reason" was no less re.
markable for its pleasing nature. The
first number on the programme was an
instrumental piece on the piano for four
hands, entitled q "Waltz," BY RAT, which
was executed In excellent style by Prois.
Hermann and Armstrong. The song,
"Were Roses Fair" vocaIized by Miss
Aggie Murine, was rendered in sweetest
voice, by that popular singer, and drew
forth well bestowed applause. The reel.
tation Of "How he Saved st. MiChaels, :"
q descriptive piece, spoken by Miss Nellie
George, was Of very high order Of merit,
and was o pleasant retreshment OF that
lady's performance last year. Her enun.
citation was distinct, gestures graceful;
which, coupled with taultless elooution
and intelligent reading, held the closest
attention OF the audience to the close.
Thenext number, In Shades OF Night"
rendered by Q. Y. Lucas, was given in
that gentleman's best style. Mr.. Lucas
was never In better voice than last night,
and was rewarded by an encore. A select
reading by Hon. o. S. Long, IA part Of
the story OF Joseph, as told in the Tai.
mud, was inappropriate selection, and was
highly appreciated. The reader has
pleasant and engaging manner which ever
makes him popular in entertainments OF
the nature Of last evening. The pro.
gramme closed with a piano obligato,
HWaltz, by Chopin, "and dSpinning Song,
by Lizst," by Profs. Hermann and Arm.
strong. These gentlemen contributed
greatly to the enjoyment Of the occasion,
and were appreciated beyond the power
Of our pen to tell.
After the exercises were over the usual
Babel hum" commenced, which more
than anything else told that the audience
was enjoying itself in the manner usu.
al with such gatherings. Although a
cool night, the ice.Cream supply gave out,
and the forage committee had 10 20 out
and skirmish for more. Altogether, It
was the most successful Social ever held,
and the "L.s," no doubt, slept better than
ordinarily In knowing the fact. When Is
the next oneP we heard some one remark,
coming out. That shows they are pop.
