their appreciation of his attention.
The entertainment opened with
a military drill by a number of the
young ladies without their banners,
in walking costumes, decorated
with the representation of the diff
ferent business interests which
they represented. Following this
Miss Mabel Hord charmed those
present with a well executed in
strumental solo. Then the whole
corps of forty-four young ladies ap-
peared with banners flying and in
the full bloom of youthful beauty.
They marched and counter-march-

ward, wheeled and went through
many maneuvers of military drill
with surprising precision and digni-
ty. When this was over Mrs

German peasant girl and sang "Buy
Broom witL wonderful effect.
Being encored she rendered anoth-
er verse, after which no amount of
applause could bring her on the
stage again. Sixteen young ladies
then marched on the stage in fours,
led by Miss Mabel Hord, lieutenant,
and commanded by Prof. Peters.
These passed through a military
drill and manual of arms very ac-
curately. All of the sixteen were
near one height, rendering the
drill very effective. A great many
of the audience now thought the
entertainment, save the refresh-
ments, was over and left the house
before they could be stopped,
thereby missing great treat.

Comes Like a Summer Sigh" in
her own fascinating manner, which
was loudly encored
