The So1ree at the Elizabeth Aull.
If is the custom at the Elizabeth Aull SEM
mary every once in a while to give to the pa
irons and friends of the Institution llterar!
and musical entertainments. lnese occa
sions are always pleasant, and they are maoe
nroti able as exhibitions of the progress OF
the pupils. This is particularly true because
M special preparation is permitted, the "orh

The essay, Who Ate Roger Williams, y was
unique 1t thought, and a good composition,
but the young lady's excessive timidity made
it rather uphill work for her to read 1t. AS
she reads very we'll this need not be a perma-
nent defect,
Decidedly the hit of the evening was made
by Miss Kittie Fulkerson in her humorous
essay regarding the old lady's visit to Lex
ihgton. 1t was not only that the competition
was decidedly creditable to SO young o girl,
but her manner of rendering it was charm
lingly %laughable.
Miss Ride Aull received an encore for her
recitation Of Friar Philip and gave Samantha
Allen in Stewards store.
The quartette was admirably sung, and
was heartily applauded.
The programme being ended some Of the
teachers favored the audience.
Miss Sallie Chambers, teacher of elocution.
+ read "Ruby's Playing" in such a thorough
" artistic manner as to win q continuous rip
+ pie of applause throughout.
Miss Hollis sang very sweetly Wekerlin'.
1Tyrolean melody, s'Tbe Alpine Flower" and
Miss Lille Link, the teacher of instrumental
music, played most delightfully."- Schumann'i
"Why and Whims."
The exercises of the evening, SO far as thu
school was concerned, closed with q calls
j, lthenic drill, conducted by the teacher, Mis-
Sallie Chambers. The evolutions showed
). that the young ladies were thoroughly trainet
in exercises which must bring every muscle

conducive to health.
y One of the chief features of the entertain
. ment was not 81 the programme. At
pause between two of the parts above men
toned, Dr., Quarles announced that Mr.. C. S
Blackwell had been asked for a recitation an
would comply. Mr.. Blackwell in a few pleas
ant words secured the attention of tn
audience, and then in a very irnpres
|sive manner repeated Hamlets soliloqu,

~ Taken in every way the evening was a yer
pleasant one. The music, instrumental an

80. Two things apart from these which we NJ
ticed deserve mention. The first being
:. beautiful specimen of writing upon a blacl
board, which was lone by Miss Minnie Lon
~ in ordinary class work, with no idea that
would be observed. 1t was really remarkab
o for its be iuty.
And last but by no means least an exhib
ton Of the handiwork of the pupils of Mrs.
