Another Library Success.

 Town hall, Wednesday night, at the musicale and unique Mother Goose enter tainment given for the benefit of the Ncwtowu library association. The pu- pills of Prof G. S. Platt, of whom all but Miss Edith NJ. Turney of Long Hill were at the Town hall, the standard of excel lence, speaking generally, rising to the fine performance of Misses Jennie and Ella Fairchild at the close. Miss Grace Judson's vocal solo, ''IIc was a Prince, ." was cneorcd, to which she responded. The program will speak for itself, though several numbers really deserve more par tieular mention:

 Mrs l.. C. Morris was Mother Goose to perfection; indeed all her geese were true to Youths fond remembrances of their distinctive characteristics. Mother Goose, herself in red and white, was at tended by eight maids of honor in pink and white and blue and white: Misses Hattie Nichols, Stella Nichols, Grace Peek, Mamie Blackman, Frances North rop, Hattie Northrop, Lillie Fair man, Ella Southworth. Miss Ruth Nichols, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, with her garden rake stood at one side of the stage and, at the other, Little Boy Blue, D. C. Beers, blew his horn and announces the characters to appear. Old King Cole, J. Botsford Fairchild :; his page, Eddie Manville and fiddlers three, George B. Beers, s. J. Botsford and Will N. Northrop led the van, fol- lowed by Little Tommy Tucker, Walter Nichols; Jack and Jill, Homer Baldwin and Miss Ada Peck; My Son John, Clar- encc Beardsley and the Old Woman who Lived on Nothing but Victuals and Drink, Miss Emma Terrill; Bo Peep, charmingly taken by Miss Hattie Glover and Bobby Shaftoe, k. II. Beers; the Hot-Cross Bun Man with his bell, inim- itably taken by Paul Warner; Jack Sprat and Wife, Charles G. Peck and Mrs Dr Smith; Jack IIorner and Nancy Etticoto, Arthur Day and Miss Lillie Dikeman; Peter the Pumpkin Eat CT and Two Wives, Harry Beers with a pumpkin, Misses Clara Northrop and Et- ta Martin; Mary and her Little Lamb on Wheels, Bessie Nash; Red Riding Hood and Grandmother, Misses Alice Scher- merhorn ann Lottie Botsford; Ghost of Solomon Grundy, E. l.. Johnson sepul- chral in white; Beggars Coming to Town, l.. C. Morris, lame and with a crutch (niccly taken, H.W Wheeler. blind man led by Arthur Platt, Gideon Camp with a hand organ on his back, Mrs S.J. Bots- ford with baby in her arms, Miss Edith and Arthur Peck; Simple Simon and the Pie Man, E. F. Ilawley and l.. NJ. John son; Bachelor who Lived by Himself and his London Purchase, in wheelbar- row, C. F. Beardsley and Miss Sophie l Hammond. The elaboration of the in- dividual costumes and the art with which the characters were generally taken can be but faintly gathered iron this nasty enumeration. They fitted across the stage all too fast, since they had been so long preparing to appear but the march about the hall and the eff fective concluding tableau gave time for more careful notice. The association will net about $70 and Mrs c. $. Platt who worked so hard for success, desires thanks returned to MT Jonas for the use of his piano, to the b. NJ. Read Co. fol the programs, to MT Leonard for carriage and to all who assisted in making so en Ijoyable an evening. The young people wound up the entertainment by dancing to music furnished by Prof Platt anC George B. Beers.
