How the Fourth was Celebrated at
the Alliance.
Much enthusiasm prevails in view of
the very fattering outlook for this AS
sembly. The receipts for the first two
days have been nearly twice as much as
the corresponding days last year. This
is encouraging, since some of its warm
est friends feared the stringency in
money matters would possibly, if not
probably, make it comparative failure.
The excellent programme must have

Those who have furnished music during
the session to date are the following:
The Cuthbert Family Band, Miss Grace
Whitehorn, Mrs. G. L. Cole, Miss Cora
and MAZDA Mills, Misses Nevs and Eva
Ma.her, Mr.. Young, Misses Myrtle and
Jessie Lewis, Miss Carrie Elwood, Miss
Hope Warren, Miss Nellie Stovall,
Miss Sallie Lewis, Rev. j. III. Henry.
