ANOTHER BENEFIT.
Miss Maye kewen has resolved to con-
duct relief fund benefit entertainment at
the Opera House next Monday evening.
For that purpose Manager Hall (his sec
ond contribution) has granted the young
lady the full use of the Opera House, and
it is understood that no expense will be
attached. so that the benefit will be
"clear" one. Miss Kewen has on several
occasions appeared as drill leader or Cap
tain of large company of young ladies,
whom she has drilled in facings, dumb
bell exercises and graceful groupings and
marches. These drills have met with great
favor. The ladies of the company have all
volunteered for the proposed entertain
ment, some talent from San Francisco
has also profered aid, and there will
be by local people music, tableaux
and other entertaining features. The
spirit with which Miss Kewen has
entered into the scheme, her proved
capacity to manage such an entertainment
and the generous assistance rendered her
gives the assurance that the affair will be
success. Nothing but unseltishness. pure
and overtiowing sympathy for the home
less people of the great disaster, prompt
the participants in the proposed benefit
They believe Sacramento ought, exclusive
of the contributions of towns that have
sent their contributions here to be united
with those of Sacramento, to raise and for
ward fully 81 900, and the ladies are correct
in their judgment. They propose, how
ever, to give an entertainment richly worth
the price of admission to be charged, so
that there will be value received by all who
buy tickets.

the services of several of his pupils and
others, while the ladies named filled num-
bers on the programme, secured the Artil-
lery band attended to general manage

skillfully. All the parties concerned are
deserving of commendation for their pub.
