The music, led by the great organ and
q cornet, was quite varied, consisting Of
duets, quartettes, and choruses.
There were many prizes presented for
faithfulness IN attendance and for bring
ing in new scholars. The presentations
we're made by DIR. Hatcher, the pastor,
who had pleasant word for every re-
cipient OF prize. The first prizes for
bringing in the largest number OF scho-
lars were won by Miss Nellie Anderson
and Charles Boyd Luck.
The most pleasing feature OF the eve
ming seemed to be the dialogues and
songs by the boys. Ii is understood
that both the dialogues and songs were
composed for the occasion, and the adj
mirably-drilled boys rendered their
parts with marvellous grace and readi-
ness.
Mr. c. s. Gates, who Was chief in the
matter of arrangements, received many
warm congratulations on the skill and

The Executive Board or Committee Of
the Manchester Reform Club held r
meeting last night in a room on Hull
street and talked over the question Of
nominating a ticket for city officers to be
voted for IN opposition 10 the nominees
Of the Democratic primary. Alr. Tyson
is president Of the board, az well as Of
the club, and W. A. Sampson, Esq, Is
secretary. The session was a short one
and was held with closed doors
Mr. Sampson was seen by a Dispa'oh
reporter after adjournment, but he was
exceedingly reticent. He SAID that
nothing was done that they desired to
be made public that another meeting
would be held about week hence, when
perhaps final action would be taken, and
the matter would be given TO the
press. he said the board might
nominate ticket and recommend it to
the club. but that the latter would have
to endorse 1t. Mr.. Sampson declined to
say whether or not the board decided to
call general meeting of the club for
next Tuesday night to consider this
question.
Another member Of the committee
with whom the reporter conyersed, who
was rather more communicative, said
that the meeting was rather informal,
and that really nothing was done that
meeting OF the club was called for next
TUESDAY night, when the question will
be considered. He thought no ticket
would be nominated that it would be
better to support independent candi-
dates.
