Fun In Fancy IDrcss.

The Columbia Turn-Vercin gave its au-
nual fancy dress ball at Abner's Hall last
night The attendance was very large, and
the throng of merry maskers placed itself
completely under the domination OF Prince
Carnival, to whom willing tribute of
many hours of jollity and mirth was rem
dered. There was a notable absence Of the
usual superlluity Of clowns, topsies or
shepherdesses, and instead many new and
pleasing characters were represented. The
hour Of unmasking revealed hosts Of hand
some faces beneath the monotony Of satin,
cloth and papier-mache masks worn by the
attendant young ladies. The first prize,
$40, was awarded by the judges to the
of the opera "Mikado." The second prize,
So, was given to the band of German village
musicians, u "reminiscences Of the late "Jahr-
markt." The "Mikado'' group consisted
of the Misses T. and A. Schmid, X. Darling,
aud Messrs. Harry Franklin, Henry Iseman
and William Thierbach.
The committees were complimented on
all hands upon their splendid success.
They were as follows: observation-disclosures.

A good story comes from boys board
ing-school in Jersey" The diet was mo-
noionous and constipating, and the learned
principal decided to introduce some old

the happy results. One bright lad, the
smartest In school, discovered the secret

hesfkheus
The Commissioners have now received
the designations Of three members OF the
School Board-Messrs. Lovcjoy, Griswold
and Smith, member Of the board told
CRITIC reporter that the commissions OF
these gentlemen have expired and they
were holding over. He said IL was under
stood that II they accepted a reappointment
II would be under the recent decision of the
Commissioners, stripping the trustees of
nearly all Of their power. They decided
that they would sooner not be trustees un-
der these circumstances. In regard to the
recent conferences between the Commits
sioners and the School Board, at which the
press was excluded, he said he was OF the
opinion that public business should not be
made secret, and most Of the trustees were
OF the same opinion, and Commissioner
Webb was also willing to let the press be
present at these meetings The reporter, on
intei eiviewing different members Of the
board, found that General Birncy was the
only one who was opposed to having the
press admitted
A trustee told the reporter the meetings
were not so harmonious as some trustees
represented them to the reporters. He said
the trustees did not agree with the Com
missopers to the extent represented by GER
tain trustees and by the papers-hence the
designations.
At a meeting Of the School Board last
night there was not quorum present.
Messrs. Clark, Smith and Curtis were
present, and motion to adjourn was car
ried. Trustees Purvis and Birney came in
later General Birney produced manu-
script which he explained was his plan Of
settling the difficulties between the Com
missioners and trustees The substance of
the plan was that the trustees should have
the power to nominate teachers. There
should be no discrimination I'm the pay OF
teachers on account of sex. The number
Of male teachers should be increased. A
list of applicants passing the required ex-
aminations should be kept-as Of civi-ser-
vice eligibles-in the superintendents'
Offices, and copies sent to the Commits
sioners. Promotions should be made on
merit. A committee should have control of
the janitors and attend to minor matters.
No action was taken on the paper.

The Charity entertainments.

Notwithstanding the unpleasant weather
, there was large attendance at the Clunie
Opera House, both afternoon and evening,
yesterday to witness the entertainments
ven, under the management of G. NJ.
Prodger, for the benefit of the Protestant
Orphan Asylum and the Infants Shelter
The afternoon programme was arranged
for the more especial benefit of the little
folks, and they were present in large num-
bers, including the Asylum children, who
were then enjoying their Christmas festi-
val. And enjoy it they did, right heartily,
their happiness being good to see. In
the evening the performance was a
little more pretentious and included
charming rendering of the balcony
scene from Romeo and Juliet" by
Miss Rose Wood and James o. Barrows,
which was so nicely given that the au-
dience seemed 10th to let the artists take
their leave. The "Tour of the World in
1874 Minutes" served as framework for
the introduction of a great number
of pleasing scenes, the actors in which
frequently exceeded what might
reasonably be expected of amateurs
Being an ephemeral affair, with scarcely
sufficient rehearsal, it dragged somewhat,
but fortunately there was always some one
appearing in just the nick of time to pre-
vent it from becoming tiresome, and the
performance as whole was very credit
able to not only the ingenuity and energy
of Mr.. Prodger, who performed great deal
of work in putting 1t in presentable shape,
but to all concerned. Perhaps it might not
be out of the way-though in amateur per-
formances special reference is not generally
judicious-to mention as among the lead
ing features of the entertainment the Span
ish dance by Mrs May Hubbard and G. w.
Watson; the Scotch dances by Rollin Rem
wick's class; the remarkable musical
ability displayed by w. E. Bryan; the
skillful club-swinging by Mr.. Hagelstein.

At the Clunie this evening Miss Rose
Wood, the beautiful and accomplished ar
tiste, will commence a brief engagement,
during which plays of real and acknowl-
edged merit will be presented. in which she
will be supported by a capable company,
including the favorite actor James 0. Bar
rows. Tonight, and during the remainder
of the week, Barley Campbell's thrillingly
interesting drama, The Galley Slave" will
be given, mounted in a superior manner,
and with cast well calculated to do it
justice. 1t is play that the public never
tires of seeing, when in the hands of a
good company, and it will be especially
attractive on this occasion, with the
leading characters enacted by Miss
Wood, Mr.. Barrows, L. J. Holder,
Scott Cooper and others of equal merit
This company is claimed to be the most
competent dramatic organization on the
coast to-day. Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, January Sd, 4th and 9Th, a
the People" will be produced. Miss Rose
powerful Partisan melodrama, Woman of
Wood is the original in the title role, and
has enacted the part with great success
throughout the United States. Thursday,
January 9th, by special request, the Lady
of Lyons will be given. L. ]. Holden,
the manager, has exerted every effort to
bring his company before the public in
satisfactory manner, and the probabilities
are that his expectations will be realized.
The box-sheet is filling up rapidly.

The Kiralfys.

Commencing next Monday evening and
continuing during the week, the Kiralfy
Brothers will occupy the stage of the Met
ropolitan with the romantic dramatic spec
tacle, The Ratcatcher," which has been
drawing crowded houses TO the California
Theater San Francisco. The Kiralfys are
famous the world over for the mastery
manner in which they present their specta-
Giles, and they have an immense amount of
money locked up in scenery, costumes,
armor and paraphernalia generally. Last
season they produced for the first time the
latest Vienna success, 1.-THE Ratcatcher:
or, the Pied Piper of Hanelin," in which
they introduced the talented young operate
artist, Hubert Wilke, who in the title role
has appeared over 400 times in the
principal cities of Europe. The legend
of the piper, who on promise
of two thousand guildens rids the town of
an army ofrats, and who stole the children
when the town authorities refused to pay
him. presents many opportunities for
scenic and mechanical effects, and no
chances of this kind are allowed to 60 into
disuse under the Kiralfy management.
With them it is the story dramatized and
set to music. The troops of children, the
droves of rats, the brilliant wedding fetes,
the bewildering dances, the Punishment of
the rats and the delivery up of the children
are deity combined and presented with so
much faithfulness and such realistic effect,
that one cannot help feeling amazed and
wonder how it is done. The sale of seats
will commence tomorrow morning at the
box office of the theater.
