The Mother Goose Party Saturday Even
ing-Donations to the Relief Fund.
The Mother Goose party at Turner Hall
Saturday evening, in aid of the children of
the Orphan Asylum, was a grand success.
The attendance was large and liberal in its
patronage of the refreshment booths, which
netted about $50. The feature of the even
ing was the Mother Goose lancers. The
first performance was not sufficient to graf
ify the desire of the audience, and in an
swer to an encore and many requests the
dance was performed the second time. The
ladies were in various unique costumes and
the gentlemen were attired IN full dress.

the lancers were: Misses Alice Smith, Eva
Bennett, Josephine Richardson, Minnie
Richardson, May Carroll, Alice Sullivan,
Sophie Sullivan, Isabella Quint, Helen
Lindley, Mamie Lindley, Ellie Clark, Ethel

deuel., Henry Toll, Edward Yardley, Frank
Smith and George Watson. Another nov
city of the evening was the dancing by the
children class of Professor Watson 8
dancing school, The evenings door re-
ceipts were so, and the total receipts of the
entertainment, when all the tickets are
accounted for, will not be far from 5000.
The music was furnished by Jones, Fish &
Watson, Professor Hand presiding at the
piano.

toon, J. Q. Brown, Jr., Fred. Remele and

for the relief fund and deposited it with
the RECORD UNION to be paid to the proper
authorities to-day.
In reference TO the rag carpets which
cover the aisles in the dormftory at the
Asylum, the RECORD UNION has been re-
quested to state that even though they are
rags they are the most serviceable floor
covering that can be obtained. The rags
are cut, assorted, sewed and prepared by
the children under instruction of the ma
iron for weaving. Thus the little ones are
taught to sew, etc. A roll of new woven
carpet was exhibited and was as firm,
thick and warm as any ordinary carpet
that is factory made.
