The Columbian entertainment at
the opera house Friday night brought
out an unusually large audience. The
entertainment included grand flag
drill of nations by forty young ladies
dressed in the costumes of the vari
Gus nations, attractive marches, dan
cling and singing. and nine "tableauX
vivavts. representing prominent cpl
sodes in the life Of the great discov-
erer. The actors were frequently ap-
plauded and they well deserved it,
The dancing by two little misses was
particularly fine. Rev. Father Prior
opened the entertainment by short
address upon the subject of Columbus
and the Importance of his discovery.
He referred to the fact that Column
bus counsellor was d monk. He main
tanned that whatever claims others
advanced for the honor of discover
ing the new world, Columbus was the
first to plant the standard of civiliza-
tion in America. One feature of his
character was his faith in God. He
put the cross of Christ above the
standard of Spain and pardoned his
mutinous seamen in the name Of the
cross. Columbus has kept the fires
of freedom burning. He opened a
door for the exile; he stands out as
the representative of liberty. There
are no slaves of royal tyranny on these
shores. Every man has one free bal
lot, which means free consciences and
free convictions. Could Columbus
have lived until now he would have
died Of joy to see the vast domain
which he had opened to civilization
and which is the land of 12O, 100000
people.
