Theatrical.
Our people enjoyed rare treat at
Odd Fellows Hall last evening, the
occasion being the entertainm ent
given under the auspices of the Day
ton Amateur Club. A well filed
house greeted the troupe, and though
the exercises lasted nearly three
hours, so interesting and praise
worthy were their efforts that the
audience we're held in close attention
throughout, frequently manifesting
approval in we'll merited applause.
Our amateurs have done well, and 1t
is no disparagement to previous ef-
forts to say that the entertainment
just given surpassed anything of
similar nature given in this town,
either by local or professional artists,
for a great many years. The object
of the entertainment-to raise funds
for our sunday School, was lauda.
BILE one, and laudably have all its
promoters acquitted themselves.
The following is the programme pre-
sented:

The lateness of the hour prevents
individual reference to all the partici-
pants. Nor is it hardly fair where
all are so good to specify individual
excellencies. The instrumental duet
by the Misses Dodge and Jsqua, the
recitation by Miss Likens, the solo
by Miss Champlain and the various
other songs, the play estate Secrets"
and the dramatic impersonations
formed varying series of soft, i'm
FASHIONED, pleasing, subduing chap
ters which could hardly fail of high
appreciation even in Piper's Opera
House. Several of the elegant cos.
tunes worn were procured in San
Francisco and added much to the
setting of the play, and the imper-
sonations. The musical part of the
programme was under the direction
of Miss Minnie Leslie and Mr.. w. H.
M. Cobb, who displayed great taste
and judgment in the selection of the
songs as well as in the choice of the
singers. And here it is proper to
give due need of praise to the par
ties from outside towns who kindly
consented to give their valuable aid.
Miss Champlain of Virginia, Miss
Morgan of Gold Hill, and Mr.. Dick
Williams of Sutro, will not soon be
forgotten by our people. They are
the musical stars of their respective
towns and their rays have acquired
fresh lustre in shining upon the good
