THE FIREME EMS PICNIC.
A Large Attendance and General
Satisfaction.

The programme of the Frost burg
Fire Department for Thursdays pic
mic was well carried out, though sew,
eral expected organizations did not
| come.
The parade from the depot to the
Centennial grounds wasii.a brilliant
pageant Of military and firemen's
insignia, succeeded by few advertis-
ing wagons and the Arion band ineog.
The drum corps and bands provided a
lot of music along the line of march.
Besides the Frostburg Arion and Eek
hart Independent bands the following
organizations were present I:
Cumberland hose company. "a men and
reel.
South Cumberland hose company, 10 men
and reel.
Homecoming fire department, % men and
reel

g., of Cumberland, Lieut.. White.
Company d, same, of Frostburg, Capt
Smith,
Tyler Post drum corps, of Cumberland.
Mt. Savage drum corps, of Mt Savage.
Thoburn Post drum corps, of Frostburg.
At the grounds the day was given
to- dancing and the enjoyments usual
on such occasions. During the after
noon there was drill contest between
ten men Lieut.. Whites squad and the
same number of Capt. Smiths COM
pany, with Theodore Luman, of Cum
berland, H. D. Lowry, of Mt. Savage,

A prize of S. each was awarded
the South Cumberland, Canada and
Homecoming fire companies, each hay
ing turned out 20 men.
General good order was maintained,
only a few giving way to excuses. To
the firemen the occasion was pleasant
and profitable, and the mere ased in
terest, efficiency and usefulness hoped
for will doubtless be realized.
The trick played by the Arion band
was we'll conceived and carried out.
Attired in Ethiopian stumes of great
variety, four of them as women, they
managed to get down toward the
Shaft, and, boarding the special train
from Piedmont, arrived in Frostburg
as visitors. Following the pro-
eession they came up street play
ing their best, headed by color-bear-
er attired as "Uncle Jonathan" The
staff was long crooked pole with
diminutive flag at the top. Behind him
the huge and demonstratlve drum
major marked time for the band. 1t
was funny scheme we'll executed.

"BLACK AND WHITE.u
Drama in Three Acts ArtisticalIy
Rendered by u Home Company.

The audience in Odd Fellows Opera
House Wednesday evening was sur
prised as we'll as delighted with the
rendition of a sprightly drama, entitled
"Black and White" by home talent.
The play is laid on the Island of
Trinidad, and comprises a number of
striking situations, all of which were
given with artistic ease and effect.
The heavy parts were taken by r. G.
Colborn, Count Maurice de Leyrac,
visitor to Trinidad )" A. J. Colborn,
"Stephen Westcraft, planter in
Trinidad;" Ernest McCulloh, "David
Michaelmas, servant to the Count pa.
R. Croft, "Plato, de Conservative chief,
sab" George Conner, "Provost Mar
shall )" W. S. Burton, "Wolf, slave to
Westcraft )" Sewell Weech, "Secretary
to Plato )" Miss May McCulloh, "Miss
Emily Milburn y Miss Dollie Devec-
mon, Mrs. Penfold;' Miss Jennie
McCulloh: "Ruth, quadroon." Mis-
ses Minnie Croft, Phoebe johnson and
Allie Parker personated plantation
ladies, and Messrs. Nicholas Hooking
and Charles Gerlach, gentlemen. The
juvenile African element were we'll
represented in color and costume by
Misses May Gunter, Maggie Hill, Bes-
sic McCulloh, Clara johnson, Bessie
Coyner, Ray Anthony, Helen Percy,
and Eddie Spill, George Smith. James
Koch, Porter Shaffer, Glad. Hitchins
and David Crump.
Messrs. Colborn did their parts we'll,
as also Misses Jennie and May McCul
loh. The former lady excels in pathos,
while the latter, charming at all times,
is at home on the stage in all that is
vivacious and tender. Miss Devecmon
was the pink of matronly dignity,
though she spoke too low. A. r. Croft
and w. S. Burton maintained their
reputation as frstclass darkies when
occasion requires. Sewell Weech was
not so well known in this role, but he
| NA''PA'l wv SASNPiiiS ttuo SIlOTlIlR powers
OF high order. Ernest McCuiloh and
George Conner acquitted themselves
creditably. The mokes and mokesses
had been well schooled, affording con-
siderable amusement by their quiet
antics on market day.
The part rendered by R. G.. Colborn
was lengthy and difficult, but he sus-
tanned himself handsomely. His debut
was the occasion of much merriment,
as 1t was not easy to determine which
appeared more unnatural-his NOUS
tache or its background. His brother,
A. j., forced by the demands of the
drama into several tragic attitudes, es-
sayed them with marked success.
Altogether it was a fine performance
and those who gave it have been gen
orally and deservedly congratulated.
So well pleased was the audience it is
proposed, we understand, that public
invitation to the management be ex-
tended for its repetition at an early day.
