Musical and Dramatic Entertain
Iueut.

At Brook school-housc. in iienrico
county, on Friday night musical and
dramatic entertainment was given by
the Confederate-M Monument Association,
assisted by O number of Richmond mu-
sicians. The affair proved highly en-
ioyable one, and consisted of comic
drama entitled From Punkin Ridge"
q farce called the - Dancing Dutchman
or, The Magic Fiddle" and a well-se-
lected and pleasing musical programme.
The acting was all highly creditable
and furnished genuine enjoyment. All
who took part praise, especially
the young ladies' and it is matter OF
regret that personal mention of each
cannot be made. Mr.. John Laid APP
pesred in both playsswas sprightly and
yivacious, and from his success of that
evening it may be said that he has
added snother to his many and varied
accomplishments.
The music was under the direction Of
Professor Z. d. Redd, and he was ably
assisted by Messrs. y. Il. oheppersoh
and c. Baseler, and the {. Quartette
Club. The piano was kindly loaned by
Dir. Manly b. Ramos.
The old tortoise which has, it is sup
posed, been creeping for twenty-thre'
years about Emmanuel-Church GENE
terry, where sleeps the soldier who in
scribed his record upon its shell, wa
shown TO the audience. Ii is really
great curiosity.
The entertainment was given with
view Of adding to the fund for the Cor
federate monument near by. A mic
little sum was realized, and the Ass'
cistion is to be congratulated upon i
noble work.
