consequently many of those who had not
yet seen its many attractions took the
last opportunity afforded them of doing
so, with the result that the crowd, early
in the evening, was more dense than
upon any of its predecessors. There
must have been at least 5000 people
there between the hours of s and 8
O'Clock, and not single seat was
to be had in any part of the
building, the spectators being packed
in the galleries during the entertain
ment. There had been heavy at
tendance during the daytime, and in the
morning the children of the Protestant
Orphans Home were among the visitors,
which for the most part were juveniles.
The entertainment, which consisted
of a series of tableauX entitled "Living
Statuary," in which a number of young
society ladies participated, was not quite
such success as had been expected. on
account OF the poor lime-light effects,
which instead of Illuminating the figures
as was intended, in several instances
merely threw their shadows upon
the gauze veil in front of the stage.
However, this was not the fault of the
young ladies, who performed their parts
to perfection. The tableaux were:
Combat of the Gladiators, Jeanne
dare" Beatrice Cenci," waiting, !"
'Medea," "Louise of Prussia" "The
Reading Girl" Marguerite Returning
from Church." Marguerite Telling Her
Fortune by Daisy" LA Filetfice,"
IND Dnh
lope," Pitcher OF Tears"
During the evening the orchestra, un-
der the direction of Mr.. II. E.. Hamilton,
rendered the following selections:
March, Farewell" (Hamilton)
overture, Dramatic" ;" (Keler Bela) !;
Chinese Patrol, (Fliege) waltz, LA
Gitana," BucalossD; selection, ''Er-
minie," (JackobowskD; mazourka,
Bridal WREATH" (Hermann) medley,
"Pro and Con-" (Hamilton); march,
Good Night" (Matsche)
The sixteen musicians, who kindly
donated their services, are entitled to a
good deal of credit for the admirable
manner in which they performed their
arduous but pleasing duties every
evening.
The table decoration was in charge of
Miss Woodward last night, and her com
bination OF yellow and red roses, with
yellow satin menus, was much admired.
