THE CHILDREN's DAY services held at the
Fist Baptist Church last night were great
" enjoyed by the large audience that filled
the auditorium and galleries of the spa
cious house of worship. The organ volun.
tary was the signal for the classes, headed
by their teachers, TO leave the lecture room
and enter the auditorium. The hearts and vol
ces OF the children we're attuned to muslc oil
sweetest melody and the muscalprogramme,
arranged and led by Mr.. Henry Field, late
" elected leader of the church choir, was
an entertainment of rare excellence, thrill
ing and inspiring all present with benedic.
tons which the service of song brings to the
soul. The decorations were artistic and
tasteful, evoking many expressions of de-
light and admiration from hundreds OF
friendly visitors. In the rear of the pulpit,
and arching the same, was miniature firm
ament. bespangled with stars, while under
the canopy, on the platform ofthe baptistry,
a.beauliful fountain was shooting its silvery
sprays in the midst of proiusion Of fern,
palms and flowers Of various hues. Hand.
some cages of cheerful Canaries were
hung above the fountain and flowers The
inscriptions, "Welcome, June 1885, and
"Children's Day." were displayed in large
and variegaled letters above the beautiful
arch. Beds of natural roses formed the
base of the decorations, while hanging bas-
kets of beautiful flowers graced the chande-
liers around the gallery. The whole beau
tiful design was the conception and con-
struction of Mr.. Fred. G. Rogers, the secre-
tary of the school. Mr.. Willard Hobson Is
the efficient superintendent. His loving
heart has won the affection of every scholar,
and he has the joyful satisfaction of know
ing that since the first of January, 1856,
more than sixty new names have been add
ed to the membership of the school. Miss
&C. Corsa presided with grace, ease and
skill at the small organ. The organ volun-
taries were rendered on the large pipe organ
in the gallery, by Mr.. r. L. Adam. Mr..
Field had his excellent church choir to as
sist in the singing, and where all the parts
were so we'll sustained it would be invidious
to mention any one name above the rest.
The flowers were sent to the In6rmary this
morning TO cheer the sick. The whole en-
tertainment, including service of song, pray
ers, scripture selections, recitations and the
address of the pastor, was we'll calculated
to cheer and brighten, and lift US higher in
the enjoyments and hopes of religion, whose
ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her
paths are peace"

Aconcert was to have taken place last
evening at one of the public halls in this
city, announced to be given by q "French
opera singer" who came from ncighbor-
ing city for this purpose. At his own re-
quest he was allowed to lntersperse song
at performance given few days ago at the
same place before very select and critical
audience, and, ms u result, those who had
promised their assistance at the entertain
ment refused to participate, considering
their own talent, however moderately rated,
to be too far above the level of that of the
"French opera singer to be jeopardized in
reputation by appearing with him in pub
lie. The affair Is still the talk of the town,
and the general opinion expressed seems to
re that If the "French opera singer had
simply appealed to charity IL would have
been readily offered, while now he must
suffer the stigma of having attempted an
imposition upon the musical portion OF
Washington. .aHlHt
