The Harrisburg (Pa) Telegraph of June
7lh, in its two-dsys list OF contributions,
publishes two from Sacramento of $500 each.
The relief fund list will remain open at
this Office to-day and to- morrow, when anv
sums contributed will be sent on and it Is
hoped that the aggregate of the next re-
mittance will be made large. So long as
the people manifest a disposition TO give
the RECORD UNION will serve them by
receiving, forwarding and accounting for
the money, but it is very much to be pre-
ferred that the contributions should all be
made now and sent on early this week
The benefit entertainment last night a.
the Opera House, originated and con-
Quoted by Miss Nave KeWen, drew
was of light character and evidently the
work of haste in some OF its features, but
Miss Carol Grouse, who managed the stage
last evening, explained to the audience that
the long waits were the result of want of
time for proper rehearsals of the tableaux,
and not attributable to stage management.
The audience was very good-natured about
1.-THE people had come to aid worthy
cause, and were satisfied that the ladies
were doing the best that they could under
the circumstances. The programme en-
braced good orchestral music by Franz's
orchestra tableaux arranged by
re hot ho, Jco,
TUNED and posed by the ladies and gentle
men taking part; pleasing vocal solo by
Miss Libbie Smith, evidencing much vocal
study; an effective piano solo by Miss Ger
rish, which commanded an encore, and a
tenor solo by Mr.. Herman de Laguna, of
San Francisco, very gracefully rendered
and securing a recall. Miss Carol Grouse,
and her pupil, Mrs. Wyman. gave mixed
musical and dramatic dialogue with sue
cess; Miss Grouse gave also a reading and
song, the latter resulting in the
recall of the lady thrice. Later Miss
Grouse, Mrs. Wyman, Miss Murray,
Daisy Ennis, and Elsie and Harry Garrett,
appeared in asatirical piece, The Gossips,"
which was probably from the pen of
Carol Grouse. While little too pro-
longed in action il was garnished with
amusing local hits, was witty, neatly given
and very creditable to Miss Grouse and Mrs.
Wyman especially. The former is ex-
perienced upon the stage and in English
opera, and the latter is an apt pupil. Very
much of the success of the entertainment
depended upon these two, whose numbers
filed a programme that otherwise would
have been briefand lacking in variety. All
the ladies and gentlemen who took part
IN the entertainment are deserving of
recognition for their labor freely given in
the cause of charity. The entertainment
closed with military drill and dumb
bell exercise by twenty young women
under command OF Miss Kewen. The
movements We're executed with precision
and nicely, and were very satisfactory to
the audience. 1t was not ascertained who,
besides those in the programme volun-
teered, except that Colonel Kewen man
aged the box-oflice, and Messrs. Ingham
and Martin the doors, and Manager Hall
gave the free use of the Opera House.
Probably the benefit will net fully 5000,
which will be very handsome addition to
the relief fund
