Dwight Place Entertainment Last
 Night.


 The last of MT. and Mrs. Parsons musical entertainments occurred last evening at the above church, closing a series which has proved of no ordinary musical merit, as at- tested by the increased size of each audience The concerts have attracted much attention in musical circles and have been thoroughly enjoyable throughout. The local artists who have assisted have been of the best, and while giving pleasure themselves have served to make still more enjoyable the artistic piano music which has formed an important part of each concert. MT. Parsons has added to his reputation a performer and composer, while the performances of Mrs. Parsons show something more than mere talent. Her play ing is simply exquisite, combining degree of power remarkable in a lady, with great del icacy of shading.
 The concert last night was made attractive by the assistance of Mrs. Sherwood Thomp- son and Ericson Bushnell, who received en- cores at each appearance. The choir did some excellent work in their opening selec- tion and frightened the programme later on with laughing song, which was very con- tagious. The concerts have been such a suc- cess that future similar series would meet with hearty reception.

enough for the decisive operation of burning a
bridge. The relation of the two parties was
peculiar and well defined Each party soon
came to recognize the strength and weakness
which belonged to its own situation. With
their better engine it would have been COM
paratiyely easy for our pHrsuers to come near
enough to pick off man after man with their
guns, while entirely out of reach of our re-
volvers. But had they come up SO close. any
obstruction we might have placed on the track
would have been terribly efficient. As long as
we possessed cross-ties or anything large enough
to wreck a train they were bound to keep a
respectful distance. The most favorable posi-
tior for them was just far enough in the rear
to see when we stopped or threw anything on
the track, thus enabling them to check up in
time. They dared not come nearer than this
while We were in rapid motion, but they were
often farther behind.
