The Carnival.--A Great Success.
The carnival gotten up by the NJ. |
q. Church under the direction of
Pastor Fleisher was a grand success. |
/ The gross receipts were S78.25. Our
space is so limited that we are unable
to go into details and speak individ-
/ ually of the persons who took active
! part IN the entertainment The din
/ ner on Tuesday was we'll PatrOnized,
! but the browning success was at the
| hall in the evening when about thir-
! tY-fve persons, mainly ladies and
! girls, dressed in appropriate costumes
and carrying banners, marched about
! the hall under command OF Capt q.
/ III. Tucker. Every costumer was
dressed to represent some trade, bus
mess, or profession. For instance,
those representing banks had bright
coins and bills seWed on their cloth
ing in artistic style; those represent
ing hardware stores were literary
covered with scissors, pocket knives,
toy axes, spades, coal scuttles and
other articles kept In such stores. In
like manner every cOstumer was dec
GRATED. The entertainment was
probably the finest one ever given in
Phillipsburg by home folks. Instru-
mental music was furnished by
hIessrs Girls. Mann, Jas. Mann. Al.
Baker, John Dawson, Q. A. Lewis,
L. E. Nipps, and E. E. Hoffman. A
song was sung entitled 81 want to be
a Granger, and with the Changers
stand" by DR.. Wallace, Geo. w.
Young. F. N. Mckay and Prof. Loar
There has been considerable unkind
T criticism of the effort Of these gentle
vOcaiists. The report that some of
the audience thought that a caliOpe
was playing in the streets, and that
others supposed a cyclone was swOOp-
I ing down from the northwest, and
r that they heard the shrieks and
g fgrOans Of the wOunded-such reports
are without foundation, and were
doubtless started by some enviOus
r persons with malicious intent to in
: jure the musical reputation of these
G four sweet singers. The gentlemen
are doubtless little out of practice
. and candOr cOmpels US to admit that
: DR.. Wallace and Prof. LOar came
g out two and half lengths ahead of
q Mckay and Young ON each stanza
4 but Rev. FIeisher, who selected these
musical paralyZers is alone to blame
: for that, for Wallace and LOar are
a tall men, while Young and Mckay
o are little short fellows. It is no
% reasonable to expect that bashful lit
tie singers like these two should keeI
y up with such tall warbleFs as Wallace
y and LOar. If this quartette is agar
