ness the first of the public entertain
ments which have been arranged for the
observance of Admission Day in this
city. The interior of the vast building
had been handsomely and appropriately
decorated for the occasion, with tri-
colored bunting and the national colors,
which had been arranged with a good
deal of artistic taste, and savored little
of the vulgar profusion of the usual
Fourth OF July celebration.
The programme, which was Of a mill
tary and patriotic character, contained
many features of interest, and although
one or two OF the numbers were prolong-
ed more than appeared to be necessary,
notably the military man9vers Of
"Liberty's color guard" it was on the
whole very we'll received.
The proceedings commenced at s
O'Clock by selection from "Faust," J"
which was admirably rendered by the
Ninth Regiment band of Pomona.
The curtain then rose, and "Colum-
bias Chickens" the thirteen original
colonies, were revealed, represented by
the following little girls, headed by
little Ethel Baldwin: Florence john
son, Ruby Brown, Pearl King, Emma
Daily, Pearl White, Rena Stombs,
Sadie Stombs, Oracle Case, Annie Sic
vert, Daisy Weller, Ada Griswold, Laura
Griswod.
The children, all of whom wore white
costumes and carried the stars and
stripes, went through number of mill
tary movements and sang an appropri-
ate song to the tune of Yankee Doodle
very creditably, their little leader assist
ing them wonderfully by her perfect
composure and steady pace.
A double quartette by the f. lowing
male members of the Ellis club followed,
and was vociferously encored: f. e.
Nay, J. p. Dupuy, Jas. Booth, Ed Aver
ill, A. B. Whitney, f. w. Wallace, r.
w. Paulsen, p A. Fenimore.
When the curtain again rose, the
stage presented a charming tableau OF
the Goddess of Liberty surrounded by
the thirteen original states. This was
followed by scene representing the ad-
mission of the other states to
the charmed circle, each new
conner being received into the Union
with cheers. The forty four young
ladies, each of whom wore shield de-
noting the state she represented, then
formed in line, and under the command
of Lieut.. E. J. Thorne of Co. F, 1st
Regt. of the National Guard, passed in
review before the audience, forming the
letters U. S. A. SUCCESSFULLY inlthe grand

around "Libe rty's" tn rome, the COM

voices led by the band, and an Moore
was insisted aupon. After more mill

the hand, little Hazel Baldwin gave ;

which fairly brought down the house.
The programme then closed with {
