Indianapolis Chorus Society.

The initial concert of the indianapolis
Chorus Society took place last evening at
Plymouth Church. That the organization is
popular one is attested by the large and
cultivated audience IN attendance. Al
though organized but few months and be.
ing merely the outerowth OF the choir of the
Central Christian Church, with the addition
Of large number OF young and unframed
voices, very creditable and thoroughly
enjoyed programme was presented.
The choruses selected were: He
is Watching Over Israel" and
Thanks Be to God" by Msndelssohn;
"The Heavens are Telling" by Haydn, and
''Infamatus," by Rossini All were given
with precision and good taste. In the last
chorus number Mrs. John c. New sang the
air IN highly satisfactory manner. The
overture Les Dramans &c ia Couranne" by
Amber was rendered in magnificent styls
by the orchestra, which bore the brunt Of
the evenings work, having also to accom-
pspy each chorus NUMBER These gentle
men are all active members OF tie
Lyra Society, who volunteered their
services, as individuals, on this oc-
cssion. The Others numbers consisted of
Miss Emma Grooms and Mr.. Pearson; song,
Voices OF the Woods" by Mr.. Bambergsr;
sextette, from Lucia" by Mrs. Anna
Walker. Miss Effie Hunt, and Messrs. Will
lians, Daggett Hazard and Allen, and the
part song, daylight Is Fading" These num-
hers were all received with much pleasure by
the aud The d0et from "Traviata"
was loudly encored. Mr.. NJ. Bamberger's solo
was greatly married by the indistinct pro-
nunciation. With proper cultivation this
gentlemen may become a fair soloist. Tax.
log all things into consideration, the OPEN
ing concert of this organization was one of
the most auepicious eyer given in this cit.

and the sophistical reasoning upon false

greater effect against his own company, but

'PYGMALIoN AND GALATEA" AT THE GRAND.
The Arne Walker Dramatic Company ex.
hibited their versatility yesterday afternoon
ut the Grand Opera House by presenting w.
8. Gilbert's beautiful NEUROLOGICAL comedy,
@'Pygmalion and Galatea." The audience
was large and select, and seemingly enjoyed
the performances to the fullest extent. The
staging and costuming were elegant, and the
"Galatea" Of Miss Arne Walker, we would
imagine, as almost the ideal of the author,
the statue scene being particularly fine. She
not only has an intelligent conception of
the part, but dresses it appropriately, and
looks very pretty. The other members OF
the company also appeared to good advan.
tage. "Pygmalion and Galatea" will be the
bill again this afternoon at the matt
nee, and no lover Of the beau.
tiful should fail to see 1t.
Last night East Lynne was given
to large audience. and the performance rs
. whole was one of the best of the engage
ment. Little Arne was good, as indeed she
Is in everything she undertakes, and made
many new conquests by the excellence OF
her acting in the dual role of Lady Isabel"
and Madame Vane." The other characters
were all well taken care of Mr.. Irwin Walker,

THE GREAT BENEFITS OF T0NrINEs PROVED BY
RESULTS.
This statement shows that the officers
Of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety were correct when they expected
that the Tontine system would induce
greater persisten ceIamong its policy. holders.
As shown above, only about half as many
persons have discontinued their Tontine pol.
icies In the seven years, rs compared with
those on the ordinary plan. In judging be.
tween the two. systems of life assurance.
We ask to which are attached the greatest
benefits? IL it not better that the policy
holders who may choose to discontinue their
policies, while still able to support their fam.
lilies, should incur as penalty therefor the
loss Of q I art of . few premiums paid in (the

Number of applications for aid. COZ
Number of persous in families. 2,4Si &c


By these figures it will be seen that the
applications for the current wear are less
than for the previous year. This Is due in
part to the fact that in some cases We have
been able to substitute work for relief to q
greater extent than formerly; to the Institu.
ton Of the 81. Vincent Do Psul Society,
which takes care of some who used to come
here; and to the increased aid given by the
Township Trustee.
The society has been the gathering place o..
all interested in public charitable work. II
is the bureau of information on all imagin-
able subjects. The Flower Mission and the
Training School fer Nurses hold meetings
here. A register of kept OF the nurses of the

Mission to the Children, WAS q pleasant
feature of the winter. Names of children
were given TO these who would undertake TO
give them Christmas presents. Nearly 300
children were thus adopted. In many cases
the work went deeper in the personal rels-
tions established, ont of which permanent
help has resulted. Large quantities If toys
were gathered and distributed.

The six months ending April 80 cover the
period when the work of the society is most
active. The work is more largely routine
work. No new work has been undertaken.
In spite of the depre ssed business the money
subscribed to the Joint uses OF the Charity
Organization and Benevolent Societies is
ample to carry it through its fiscal year.

The Elkton Fair.

The managers of the Elkton fair
were unluclly in having much of the
time rainy or disagreeable weather, es-
pecially as their exhibit was much the
best of any on the Peninsula this year
Tuesday, the opening day, was so bad
that it was considered a day lost, and
for this reason Saturday had to be in
cluded to complete the programme
The exhibits were very fine and were
fully equal to, if they did not excel
those of previous years. The display
of thoroughbred cattle was large, and
filled over 200 stalls, while the depart.
ment allotted to labor saving agricul-
tural implements was a great centre oi
attraction to the many intelligent farm
ers who were present each day.
The exhibits Of farm products were
many and varied, and a large number
of premiums were awarded in all the
departments. The first day the grounds
were crowded with the fakirs and gam
blers who had disgraced the State Fail
at Dover, but as soon as the managers
learned their true character, they were
unceremOniOusly hustled from the
place, and in each instance where they
had paid for privileges the money was
returned.
TIE attendance of visitors was large
especially on Friday, when it is esti-
mated that there were not less than
10000 persons on the grounds. The
races each day were very exciting, and
the stringent rules adopted by the
managers tended to prevent the jockey
ing usual at such places. The fail
closed Saturday, and was a grand sue
cess in every respect.

An important Commission

The projectors Of the MARYLAND and
Delaware Ship Canal made another
move forward Saturday in securing
the appointment of five commissioners
at Wilmington to condemn certain
lands IN Delaware through which the
proposed ship canal is to pass. The
following well-knOwn citizens of this
State were appointed to act as a COM
mission to consider the claims for dam
ages to land involved John f.
Staats, Sereck F. Shallcross, William
X. Cochran, Henry A. Nowland and
William Polk. This appointment will
very likely end the difficulties that
have stood in the way of building the
projected canal, as the right of way
has been secured through MARYLAND.
and only eight cases remain for settle.
in men this State before the work can be
commenced. Tho contractors, Fereu-
son & Fairchild, of New York, will be.
gin digging as soon as the right Of way
In Delaware is obtained. The charter
under which the canal will be built
limits toll to twenty cents per hundred
pounds, so that exorbitant rates will be
impossible.

and the estimated construction of the
canal, seventeen miles, is placed at 49,.
