Reformed Episcopal Church Saobath
School Entertainment.
Last evening one OF the most enjoy
able entertainments during the present
fall season was held IN Mozart Hall,
under the auspices of the above church,
the Rev. DR.. Jenkyns presiding. The
attendance was very large and the pro-
gramme not only prOtracted but exceed
lngly diversified and interesting The
proceedings opened with recitation,
"The Twentv-third Psalm" by Miss
Mary l.. Nichols, which was rendered
with clearness and distinctness ex-
pressive fully of the psalmist sentiment
and worthy SO youthful an aspirant to
recitative distinction. This was followed
bv old Coronation" from the choir,
when Miss Chalnock came forward with
an excellent reading. The song, "The
Flower Of Kildare, by Miss Bessy Me-
Culloch WIS very prettily rendered and
won warm applause, rs did
also an excellent dialogue, "The
Drunkard's Daughter by the
Misses Hannah Crowthers, Bessie Me
Culloch, Lucy Robinson, Mary Nichols,
Annie Hall and Annie Sage. These
NbullE lUllNS S'hbiAAN'
nobly. Then came piano selection by
Miss COmmeriOrd, nicely executed, and
very ably rendered recitation from
Master George Tappan, in the rear Of
which Mr.. G.. G.. Nichols gave Braham's
fine descriptive song, THE Bay Of Bis
cay" Miss Lulu Mclain, a promising
Young pianist, then favored with a sell
ection, Miss Ethel Jenkyn following
with the recitation of "The Burial OF
Moses delivered with quite n charm
ing effect. Starlight Nell, song from
Miss Laura CommerfOrd, was warmly
applauded, as was the recitation, The
Gamblers Daughter" from Miss Jennie
Tappan. \ dialogue" above the Skies,
was given by the Misses Aggie Hall and
Alice Downing to the evident delight Of
the audience, and Miss Ethel Jenkyn in
her piano forte selection showed excel
lent taste. Mr.. Harry Godfrey gave a
reading, "The Cloud" which was well
received as was also ALI
my Heart" sung by the Misses
Hannah and Minnie Crowthers, Bessie
McCulloch and Annie Sage, the youth
full quartette acquitting themselves in
the most becoming manner. The reci-
tation, "Nobody's Child" by Miss Net
tie Watson. delighted every one, and by
some was looked upon as the gun OF the
evening, after which Miss CummerlOrd
favored with choice selection on the
piano. BY way Of variety, Mr.. q. q.
Nichols then gave an anecdote, "The
experiences OF a conductor, which pro-
voked endless laughter, and the Misses
Lulu McLain and Laura Cummeriord
played very pleasing piano Duet, fol-
lowed by a recitation, MAN was made
to mourn" by Miss Dora Gearing, a
young lady who received well merited
and hearty applause, as did also Miss
Hannah CrOwther in the reading
"Lips that touch wine shall never touch
mine" Mr.. Nichols sang in excellent
voice, and with patriotic force, "The
Sword Of Bunker's Hill and
the entertainment closed with
MasOn's anthem, daughter 81
Zion, Awake from Thy Sadnesss," by
the chOir--a piece that is ever welcome
for its pure ring OF melody. Altogether
few entertainments have ever been
given in the city with better success,
and We feel assured the popular senti-
ment can only be that they came TO
sparingly.
Mr.. Porter, organist to the church
rendered most efficient service and piOn-
eered the musical arrangement efficient
ly, while Mr.. +. A. Sherratt, with much
taste, accompanied Mr.. Nichols in his
fine old standard songs. IL is TO be
hoped the Reformed Church will soon
favor us with a repetition OF their enter
tainment, which was probably the
cheapest quarters worth ever given 10 a
Wheeling audience.
