The entertainment given By the pupils OF the
different departments OF the schools az the
school house on Friday night was & grand sac
cess in ell respects save one-there Vas very
poor accommodations for seating the large audi
euee and poorer arrangements for the children
who performed. Ths truly excellent Pro-
gramne, finely rendered, was not heard by four
dfths OF the audience, who were cranped and
crowded into seats intended for small cAil1ren
Little tots OF children standing on the door,
with their heads scarcely above the desks, sang
and recitei, but were Invisible and ilaUdiole TO
q very large part OF the audience. For these
reasons tie literary and musical part OF the en-
teTtainmsut was failure, although under favor
able conditions the exec Tent renditions OF the
diferea. parts of the programme BY tho chill
dren would have covered the pupils and their
teachers with glory. The crowd must have
numbered over 1,000 and over so in dimes and
nickeIs was collected from them 10 pay for the
school library. The exhibit OF school work was
tastetully displayed il one Of the rooms, and
attracted large amount OF attention and drew
forth many favorable comments. After the
rendition of the programme there were served
ice cream, coffee and cake, under the sttInulat-
ing effects o; which the crowd good-raturedly
appeared 10 forget their disappointment over
the iaconvsnient arrangements for auditors and
performers. The programme was as follows:
