a large stage, over the center OF which was a
canopy supported by four palm trees, and the
front bore, in floral letters, the word Home

decorated tent. The singers were some
twenty FIVE adults and some sixty.fve

Miss Jennie Woods, contralto; A. n. Bu-
chanau, tenor and Elwood Bruner, basso.
The male quartet consisted of Messrs. Bruner,
Buchanan and Clayton. The cantata en-
braced forty.eight musical numbers. The
music is of an easy and pleasing character,
without any striking features of prominence
Very many pretty numbers, however, are
found in it, notably the bass role, "Thus
Saith Cyrus" the tenor solo, " List to the
Evening Psalm :" the soprano solos. so,
Shepherd, who Leadeth," and Blessed be
Thy Glorious Name :" the alto solo and
Eyes" the soprano and alto trio, pray
for the Peace :" and the chorus and
echo, 1--WE Kneel by Our Tents; :"
The children sang very well for such little
ones The solosts were very acceptable and
were warmly applauded, and received num-
Der of floral tributes. The vocal gem of the
evening was a song between parts l and 2. by
Mrs. Lanphere-" The Flower Girls Song. "
Upon Miss BOIL, as accompanied. depended
much of the success the entertainment at
tanned Mr.. Bruner led the large body of

closely up to the required mark is an evil
dsnca of much patient training. As whole,
the cqntata was pleasingly rendered. and
such small faults of presentation as were
noticeable were scarcely to be avoided under
the circumstances. The pleasure this unpre-
tentious musical entertainment gave last night
created demand for its repetition, and &C.
cordingly it will be sung again tonight.
There will be no charge for admission, but VOL
untary offerings will be taken to defray ex-
penses The piece will be interspersed with
Independent vocal pieces by the soloists.
