THE CANTATA.-There was very fair
attendance at the hall Friday night to list
en- to and see the performance of the
cantata, New Years Eve" 1t passed
of, we believe, in an acceptable manner,
considering it was given almost entirely
by persons who had had no experience
in such matters. The costumes of the
little folks were very attractive, and their
behavior good. There was some awk-
wardness, and hardly life enough in the
execution of the programme, but alto
gether the audience was pleased.
Miss Allie Riggs, it seems to US, sang
better than she ever did before. She was
in splendid voice, and her performance
was delightful.
The ladies who got up the affairrequest
us to return their thanks to the little
folks for their faithfulness in attending
the rehearsais, and for the assistance
of their parents and all others who lent
ii helping hand. Financially it was a
fair success, the receipts being between
$65 and $40.
