The Willow Copse.

The dramatic entertainment came OH,
according to appointment, on last Friday
evening and was attended by an aud
fence gratifying to all interested in its
financial succrss and in the welfare OF the
Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company for
whose benefit the entertainment was
riyeu. 1.-THE Willow COpse" was the
play selected, which was we'll rendered
on the whole for an amateur club. Some
of the actors and actresses were very fine
in their roles. Miss Lula Ragsdale, the
accomplished elocutionist of our city, had
the leading part of Rose Fielding and her
whole soul seemed wrapt in the sorrow,
pathos and anxiety of the heroines life.
Her acting cannot be surpassed, in Brook
haven at least, if in the State. Mr.. J. W.
McGrath, as the father of Rose, acquitted
himself finely and seemed as stony
hearted in some parts ~ the most releDt-
less could desire. Mr.. A. Lewenthal, Jr.,
was admirable as Sir Richard Vaughn
and surpassed all his former appearances
ON the stage. Misses Martini Daughiry
and McGrath was each charming 10 the
parts.ehosen. Mesers. c. G. Chrisman, J.
Schnorrenberg aud NJ. ID. McGrath were
the remaining principal actors and
created much interest, amusement and
admiration. A Hice littie sum was realized
by the entertainment, and we congratu-
late the Firemen on their success.

See your boy as he turns into those death

the mark of Cain on his brow. You
