The entertainment was opened by music
from Newark Orchestra, and then Rev.
Jas. l.. Vallandigham ID. d. offered
prayer. Mr.. Henry Eckel announced
that it was not the intention of Miss.
Wilson to hold an entertainment this
year, but at late day decided to do
So and any amiss made it was hoped
that the audience would be lenient
"The Snow Storm" by Willie l.. Crossan,
was well rendered. Willie is quite n
small chap, but was able to surprise some
of the audience by the rendition of his
selection. "rho Legend of the Organ
Builder" by Miss Anna X. Whileman,
deserved the applause received. Miss
Whiteman has full voice and did jus
ticc to the "Organ Builder" "a Nature
Prayer" by Miss Bessie A. Benton, was
very well rendered, indeed and deserv-
cd the just praise she received. "The
Dog and the Lobster" by Waldo c. Will
son, Dutch selection, but Waldo was
equal to the subject, and represented the
typical Dutchman, thereby causing con-
siderable laughter. "a Ballad of War"
by Miss Laura NJ. Crossan, was well rem
dered, and she did not allow her brother
Willie to be her superior, but equaled
him if she did not surpass him. "The
Brook" "a German recitation), by Miss
Nathalie i. Turner, was delivered in a
full clear voice. but did not exceed
Waldo's. "rhe Burning Ship" was we'll
rendered by Miss Edna Armstrong. A
little fast, but deserved the applause re-
ceived. "Times Silent Lesson" by Miss
Anna p. Guthrie, was fully equal to
those who preceded her, and showed
talent. The orchestra followed in the
rendering of pleasing selection. "Ben
Bolton" by Albert n Robinson was
good. Albert is good sized chap, and
fully understood what he was doing,
and did it with great credit to himself
''The Merchant and the bookseller" by
Miss Maggie NJ j. Meggitt was delivered
in well modulated voice, and the diff
cult passages were well rendered. "The
Hero Woman" by Miss Lizzie NJ. But
terworth, was delivered with elocution-
airy talent Many of the audience have,
probably heard Miss Lizzie before, and
can fully judge of her powers in elocu-
ton. She fully deserved all the encon-
iums received. "a Little Speech" by
Eddie f. Woodrow, was rather short but
Eddie had it fully committed to memory,
and greatly pleased the audience with
his short, terse address. Miss Nathalie
+. Turner rendered selection, we did
not catch the subject, but was quite
pleasing, and well rendered. "Don't," by
Robt. b. Wolf. Robert explained how
much the little folks were annoyed by
"Dont's," and done it in a very creditable
manner. "The Four Knights" by Miss
Katie NJ. Barton, was fully as well rem
dered as those who preceded her. Miss
Barton has clear voice and pleasing
address. After u selection by the orches-
ira, dialouge entitled, "Wishing," Edna
Armstrong, Mary c. Butterworth, Lille
Drennen, Regina Pie Dean Pie, Jennie
r. Maxwell, Shirley r. Deputy, Halle L.
Steel, taking part. The little girls did
very well and we all felt proud of them,
as we know there were fond parents
watched their children with loving eyes.
''The Moral Force of Example" by
Francis Il. Mckee. Francis is Il bold
speaker, and with voice that he can
fully control, he did justice to the sub
ject. aunt Polly's George Washington"
by Miss Fannie B. Lyle pleased all. Miss
Fannie knew what she had to do, and in
delivering the account of Georges" do
ings, caused ripple of laughter among
the audience, "Baby in Church, by Miss
Anna c. Southland, was very well rem
dered; voice was triile low, otherwise
very flattering to Miss Annie. "Liberty
Bell" by Lee Mcdonald, who did very
we'll, and deserved the applause he re-
ceived. Give" by Miss Shirley X.
Deputy, was pleasing address and well
rendered. "The Cobler's Secret" by j.
Drennen Bowen, was very well deliv
cred. Responsibility of American
Citizen" by Albert L. Lewis, was deliv-
cred in good style and full voice. The
orchestra again rendered fine selection.
''rhe Book Canvasser," by Miss Julia
R. Vandegrift, was a pleasing address,
and caused some merriment among the
audience. "Dont Use Big Words" was
well handled by Oscar L. Mote. The
words were exceedingly large, but Oscar
was equal to the emergency. Grave
lock-" by Miss Debbie A. Mccormick,
was exceedingly well rendered and strict
attention was paid by the audience.
'Drhe Man Who Apologized," was well
handled by Blair P, Pie and caused no
little amusement. "Becalmed," by Miss
Emma NJ. Pie, was very well rendered,
"Poppin' the Question:" by Miss Lille
f. Steel. Now "Poppin' the Question"
is rather a serious thing for young men
to do, but Miss Lille showed very forci-
bly, how it was done in the selection.
"Hannibal on the Alps" by David w.
Caskey, jr., was delivered in forcible
tone and animation. This closed the
program.
