HOLY CROSS CHURCH.
The Entertainment for Its Bald
ing Fund.

An entertainments OIL very charming de-
seription took place last evening at Odd Eel
lows Hall under the auspices of the ladies
of Holy Cross parish for the benefit of the
building fund for new church edifice For
weeks the ladies and their energetic pastor
had been actively engaged in the prepare
ton of programme which would at on ce
attract and entertain.
The amateur talent of the parish was en-
listed in the worthy cause, and. in addition,
several well-known people in professional
life volunteered their services and added
greatly to the drawing character. How well
they planned their enterprise, how ever,
never dawned upon the modest managers
until the doors were thrown open last night
to admit the throng of expectant pleasure
seekers which besieged them.
1t was only little while till the audit0-
rum was filled, and when the overture an
\nounced the opening of the entertainment,
standing-room itself was at premium. The
audience. too, was thoroughly representa-
tive one, and besides the clergy aud promi.
nent parishioners, counted among their
number many of the leading professional
and business men of the city at large With
their families. The programme was in two
parts, the first consisting of musical aud
literary numbers and tue second OF Shakes
pearean tableauX. q
Each number was gem in itself, and pro-
voked the most irresistible demands for
encores, which had the effect of pr 0lOnging
the entertainment TO very late hour. This
evidence oil appreciation was very marked
In the numbers assigned 10 Nine. Tojetti, the
Lada Family, Miss McClosksy and Nj. j.
Hyues, in the first part, and in all the
tabieaux in the second, though in these it is
but just to say that the Three Graces, rep
resented by three lovely little seven-year- old
tots, so captivated the audience by their
coquetry and pretty frocks that they fairly
carried of the hon0rs of the evening.
The tableaux were all handsomely set.
