dialogues, Rotations, singing by the schools,

was both instructive and entertaining, and
greatly enjoyed by all friends of the Sabbath
school cause These exercises were inter-
spersed with choice music rendered by the
band The recitatiops by the children were
very good considering the short practice.
The dialogues were entertaining, especially
the Emusic Teacher which brought smile
to the most solemn countenance. The sing
ing, under the able leadership Of Prof. W. L.
Grim, was one of the most attractive features
of the occasion.
The celebration was a grand success in
every way The proceeds amounted to S75.2S
The marshals, superintendents and all who
aided in getting up the program never looked
happier, and the large crowd seemed to par
take of the same happy spirit. All returned
to their homes thanking the Giver of all bles-
sings in their hearts for permitting them TO
enjoy sueh ? happy day.
