Nearly every hall in the city was &C.
cupied last night with merry-makers,
and besides these affairs there were a
number of gatherings in private resi-
dences. The Odd Fellows had selected
the day az cne on which trees could be
planted in their new cemetery on
Stevenson avenue, and at 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning a number of the mem
bers of the various lodges met at Odd
Fellows hall, and, preceded by band,
marched to the First-street bridge, where
a number OF cable cars were in waiting.
They arrived at the cemetery shortly
after 10 80 O'Clock, and the balance Of
the morning was spent in planting trees
Of different kinds. Ia the course of 8
few years the result Of yesterdays
work will be seen in as attractive a
burying ground as there is in this part Of
the State. In the evening social was
given at the hall. This was opened by
the Master of Ceremonies with few
pleasant remarks. He was followed by
Judge Thomas, of Illinois. Miss Eta
Louder rendered selection on the piano
most acceptably and Miss Theresa Bowk-
hand gave song. Miss Rose Ashmead
gave recitation and Miss Grosser's rem
dition OF piano selection was warmly
received. The programme closed with q

mods "Oh That We Two We're Maving,' -
Dudley Bucks .'The Creole, Lovers
Song" with a finish that charmed the
audience. Miss Augustine Berger gave
delicious rendition Of one of Chopin's
compositions. Miss Berger's interpreta-
tion Of Chopin's music is always good,
and her playing last night betrayed
thoughts that were in harmony with
those of the composer when he wrote
the score. Both Prof. and Mrs. Henry
Ludlam sgave recitations, Mrs. Ludlam
choosing "Aunt Peggy and High
Art" and the Professor Poe's
"Raven." Miss Jennie Winston sang
