Wcsson, and We don't know when W,
have enjoyed an evening more. Oh
entering the hal! perfect flood o
light greeted you, while on the ros
trum bright, sparkling eyes added
to the brllliancy Of the scene, which
was made the moro enchanting b!
thu graceful forms of the girls ant
the neatly attired boys.
The principal features of the en-
tcrtainment were songs, recitation'
and instrumental music, the latter
being under the direction Of Miss
Clara Chrisman, and the proficiency
of the pupils in the "divine art o.
music" was q certificate of the frs
grade" that Miss Clara is not only
a good instructor, but a musician Of
the first water.
When the large audience had be
come comfortably seated, the exer'
cises began by prayer from Rev. Mr.

men," who acted their parts remark
ably well. The rccitations by Miss
cs lee Ferguson, Bessie Butler nnt
Estelle Garner were rendered in
magnificent style. The modula-
ton of the voice, the graceful gcst'
IRE, and the perfect emphasis and
enumeration was sufficient evidence
that Mrs. Chrisman is an Elocution
list of the highest order. Tho reel
tations of Garland Lyell ana Len

and the young orators acquitted
themselves in n creditabdc man

While all the instrumental music
was very fine, we canno, refrain
from especially mentioning the
duet, "T annhauser," by Misses
Chrisman aud Pierce, which, fo
brilliancy of execution and touch
could not have been surpassed. Th'
programme throughout was inter
esting and entertaining, but no par

oughly enjoyed than that of the OK

class of girls. They were as wei
trained as regular soldiers, and wen

vcrsally adopted.
