A Grand Success by the Cleaners
Which viii Be Repeated.
The Cleaners of the Paine Metho-
dist church, all young ladies, put in
their time very profitably yesterday
evening for the benefit of the fund for
building the parsonage, by giving q
novel entertainment called Trades
display or business display.
Trades" in plain United States
means an artisans vocation or an eX-
change of anything from one to an
other. In England, you know, it is APP
piled to stores and business of all
kinds.
The business display last night was
made by thirty-two young ladies, all
attired in very becoming manner, to
represent the various business firms
OF the city. Lieut.. Hal Howard, of the
Belknap Rifles, has been their drill
master for some days, and when he
marched them into the hall, in the
midst of large number of
spectators, burst of applause was
their reward for the precision of their
martial movements and their beauty
and splendor of costume. To describe
properly each lady's dress, of the
thirty-two in the drill, would require
more space than this paper has at its
disposal. and even to declare that one
certain lady's dress was more beauti-
full than all the others is not the
proper risk to take to win the approval
of all the ladies' After marching Ina
their exhibition drill for twenty min
utes they were again called forth, and
responded by again going through the
drill. Among the names of the young
ladies who participated the following
