By eight o'clock nearly every seat of the spacious hall was occupied. The excellent pro- gramme Of exercises was effectively car ried out.

 IT any criticism would be made it would be that the programme was too long, as 1t kept the children up to late hour. It Is impossible to nOtIcs all that deserve mention. Among those that deserve special mention are Miss Lizzie l Renfro, who occupied prominent pO- sition. her recitation of "Old Hulda" being rendered with charming elocu- 1 tionary effect. She also appeared in the l dialogues, Aunt Eunice's Experience" | and "An Agreeable Profession where | she received, as deserved, earnest praise. | Frank Evans. as printers devil In the l latter, astounded every one with hIs l artistic acting. This youth with his 1 voice and stage genius Is always able | to entertain. Among the recitations ! and declamations those of Harris Drach- l man, Charles Foster, Joseph Stewart, | Mary Harmen, Jessie Holloway, May | Muller and Herbert Wood were effect lively rendered. The vocalistic portion l of the programme was eXcellently pro- ! duced by Eddie Spotford, Lulu Under wood, Frank Evans, Geo Holbrook, | Maud Vail, Pauls Medbery, Lizzie Prince, Happy Smith and others. The | calisthenic drill excited almiration and l received an encore. As whole. the en- tertainment reflected due praise upon | the principal and assistants in the l school.
