Amateur theatricals, though late in the
season, have come to the front. For some
time the beauties of such enjoyment have
been dilated upon, but though agreably re-
ceiVed no steps were taken. Last Monday
evening" after several previous failures,
number of those interested in the scheme
met at the residence of G. NJ. Palmer and
elected officers as follows: President, j, S.
Bradstreet; vice president, A. w. Kreck;
secretary, G. b. Eustis; treasurer, G. NJ.
Palmer; stage manager, Maj. Charles Nice.
Reeve; executive committee, w. III. Hinkle,
c. NJ. Palmer and w. +. GreenIeaf. A
board of directors will be elected later, and
will consist of fifteen or twenty members. In
the list of those who have already become
members there are some who have had
considerable experience in amateur dramatic
entertainments, and these with the gentle
men included in the list of officers, insure
the success of the enterprise. 1t is proposed
to have about 25 active members and 100
or more associate members, the latter of
whom shall pay SO each per year,
which it is thought will cover the
expense of the four or more enter
tainments to be given during that time

the use of the society, it being considered
the best in its arrangement and can be cas-
lily cleared for dancing if it is desired that
dancing follow the play. The full list of
active members has not yet been secured;
so That 1t is still doubtful whether or not
an entertainment viii be given this season.
