solos given in her clear, strong, musical
voice, and was heartily encored. One of
the most taking features of the evening
was the duet given by Miss Hunt ard Mr..

with raplnrous applause. Miss Minnie
Bloomfield in a clear, sweet voice, blended
with charming pathoH, gave touching
chnrac!e song that was well received.
Mics Marie Nelson, of this city, created
most favorable impression, and Mt once
established herself fnvorite with the Per-
rysburg people. The rendition OF her sew
eral selections called forth marks of the
highest appreciation, and every selection
received a hearty encore. The fair elocu-
ZIONIST responded to ALL To the first she
gave dot Baby of Mine !" to the second
Irish Conrtship," and TO the third, "Im
Married Too" making six selections, all OF

The ente, t,innient closed with the broom
brigade drill under Captain Minnie Yea

plauded, and considering the fact thai

those places may rely on an attractive en-
tertainment.
