The discrimination Of the public in re-
gard 10 the character Of entertainments
offered was never more clearly demonstrat-
ed than at Odd Fellows Hall last evening.
For some years the Pac ific Coast AssOca-
ton, Native Sons Of Vermont, has been
giving monthly entertainments with vary
ing success. That this success depended on
the quality of the fare provided seemed at
enc tune doubtful to the management but
by last evenings experiment their problem
was doubtless solved once and forever. A
specially choice succession Of numbers had
been arranged and the hall was packe
with a select audience.
The feature Of the attractive programme
was the reciting of Miss Josephine Preston
Of Chicago, who received an ovation after
dramatic Interpretation Of the well-known
"ChariOt Race" from Ben Hur," followed
by two lighter selections. "Othello." or
rather part Of that tragedy, was excel
leutly presented by certain amateurs,
among whom Mrs Alice Kngsbury Cooley
won particular admiration. A new mezzo-
Soprano. Mrs Rose Dodge Of New York,
sang pleasingly alone and with Mrs An
toinette Warrington. Other applauded num-
hers were: BarytOne solo, 1.-The B0gie
Man." in costume, by Mr.. q. Maline; selgc-
