A. o. U. W. ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment given at Turner Hall
Thursday evening by Sacramento Lodge, No.
so, and Union Lodge. No. 81, to the Grand
Lodge of Ancient Order of United Work
men was one of the most successful and
pleasant occasions. The assemblage, nun.
boring fully LOCO persons and composed of
the members of the Order, their families and
other invited guests, filed the hall and gal
leries and presented brilliant appearance.
The walls had been tastefully decorated with
bannerets, evergreens notices and drapery,
description of which has already been
given, and the whole brilliantly
illuminated A more intelligent and hand
some body of men than composed the Grand
Lodge has never assembled in Sacramento,
and natural feeling of enthusiasm and fra
ternity prevailed during the evening. The
programme was a well arranged one, the Sc.
lections having been made with view to
pleasing the entire audience of visitors and
members. There was a marked desire upon
the part of the management to prevent any
appearance of show and parade, and to make
it thoroughly social and friendly meet
ing, and they succeeded in a manner
which did great credit to the local
Lodges, and in fact to the city of
Sacramento. A more enjoyable, social and
appreciated entertainment was never given
in the city, and the visiting members will
not soon forget the courtesy and hospitality
accorded them.

audience
GOVERNOR GEORGE C. PERKINS,
Who had been selected to deliver the "Ad-
dress of Welcome on behalf of the Sacra-
mento Lodges. The speaker said that while
spirit of rivalry and emulation might exist
between Sacramento and other sections Of the
State, yet when citizens of other places be-
came guests of Sacramento they found
hearty welcome. He was glad to see that
the Brethren of the Mystic Tie had come
from snowy Shasta's nights aud the orange
groves of sunny Los Angeles, and was sure
they had come but to make good laws and
for humane and noble purposes. He
and others had come to Sacramento
to make laws and administer them, and if
they behaved themselves, hoped stay for three
years. They were working for money, but
the organization which he addressed had
come without money or price, and We're labor
ing earnestly in the cause of humanity. The
Governor concluded with remarks highly en-
couraging to the Order.
Appropriate and eloquent addresses were
also delivered by Grand Master NJ. L. Brew
er Ct. NJ. w. elect, g. W. Taylor; NJ. W.,
J. n. Young; z. M. w. Woodson, ?. G.
NJ w. Davies, Of Iowa, 7. u. Nj. W. w. II.
Jordan, and G. f. W. H. L. Barnes, each of
which were well received, especial enthusiasm
prevailing when any reference was made to
the hospitality and courtesy extended by
Sacramento and her citizens.
THE MUSICAL EXERCISES,
Which were pleasant in the highest degree,
began with an overture by the orchestra, fol-
lowed by the song Goat Bells, by Miss
Amanda Schuch, with Miss Amelia Boil as
accompanist. As this was the first time Miss
Schuch had sung in public, there was some
anxiety on the part of her acquaintance that
her debut should be successful, and they were
not disappointed. She gave the song in a
sweet mezzo-soprano voice, rich and silvery
in tone and filling every part of the hall
Naturally enough, however, there was some
timidity apparent, that will doubtless wear
away She was heartily eucored, and re-
sponded with Loving Eyes" which she
