CHI1.pREN.s HOME BENEFIr.
The Attendance Very Large and Repro
duction Will be Given Tonight.

The Children's Home benefit at the Y.
! NJ. C.. A. auditorium, last evening, was a
decided success in every particular. 1t
was success in point of merit as well as
attendance. The entertainment had been
quite literally advertised for some time
past and the good people who lab0red so
unceasingly, and whose efforts were so
untiring, experience the pleasant feeling
that the event was one of the biggest sue
cesses that was ever attempted. The
crowds began pouring into the hall at an
early hour last evening and the ushers
were kept extremely busy In conducting
the people TO their seats. All the seats
were filed long before the entertainment
began and before the program was half
through with no more standing room
could be obtained. The stage of the hall
was beautifully decorated and the
curtains were arranged in very
artistic manner The platform was
quite successfully converted into
stage and the drop curtain aud scenery
were appropriate for the occasion The
rendition of the program throughout was
very good and shows what practice and
work will accomplish. No special men
ton can be made for fear injustice would
be done to some one, as every selection
and number were most excellently rem
dered and executed The audience was
quite enthusiastic and applauded quite
freely. The entertainment will be repro
duced tonight at the same hail, so that the
many people who were turned away at the
doors may have an oppol tunlty to enjoy
the rendition of the program and to do
charitable act by buying tickets and at
tending. All persons holding tickets for
last evenings entertainments may use
them this evening, and all having reserved
seats will please call at the proper place to
have them re-reserved. OF course this APP
plies to those whose tickets were not taken
up last night 1t is hoped that
another large house will greet the
good people who have so generously
donated their services for sweet charity.
