Fridays entertainment.

The entertainment and ball of last Fri
day evening was neither so well attended
nor so profitable as its promoters hoped
it would prove, yet a fair audience was
present and all enjoyed themselves after
the entertainment, until the small hours
of morning, in dancing. The program
was not as lengthy as at some of the pre-
yious ones, but was well rendered and
heartily appreciated by the audience.
This is the last entertainment of the kind
which will occur here for some time
