DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH.
Superb Entertainment by the Lady
Odd Fellows.


hand in the papers about the enter
tainment of the Daughters of Rebe-
kah, but the ladies at the head of
the enterprise worked SO hard in
placing tickets that Harmony Hall
on King street was packed yesterday
evening. Odd Fellows, veterans and
young members, with their wives,
sisters and sweethearts, formed
large proportion of the assembly.
Her Majesty the Queen was pleas
ed to give her patronage to the
event. She arrived early and was
accompanied by His Excellency A,
S. Cleghorn, and attended by Hon.
j. w. Robertson, Chamberlain, and
Mrs. G. b. Wilson and Mrs. Chas.
Clark, ladies-in- waiting. The Queen
was seated in the chair of the pre-
siding officer, with Gov Cleghorn
on her right.
This was the first public entertain
ment given by Pacific Lodge,
Daughters of Rebekah, the ladies'
branch of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows. A musical and liter
airy bill of fare of much merit was
given, interspersed with a series of
charming tableaux. Committees in
charge were as follows:
Arrangements Sisters +. M. Nj
coll, G. Petrie, E. E. Cron, A. E.
Burnheimer, M. White, II. Adler;
Bros. G. j. Fishel, Jas. Love, +. E.
Burnheimer.
Reception-Bros. G. Carter, A.
Petrie. Jas. Love.
Floor-Sister E. Plemer, Bro. G.
H. Hill.
A very pretty piano and violin
duet by Masters George Schrader
and Bert. Petrie opened the enter
tainment
The "Gipsy's Warming" song and
tableau, was given beautifully by
Jas. Mcclure and Miss Jessie Neill,
and the same vocalists followed with
the "Gipsy Countess" Their fine
voices blended richly, and hearty
applause attested the great pleasure
of the audience.
"Courtship under Difficulties" was
an amusing little sketch, rendered
with skill by Mrs. Nicoll and Messrs.
Murphy and Mcclure. 1t was sue
ceeded by duet, Miss Adler on the
piano and Bert. Peterson on the
violin, we'll played.
The tableau, "First Four Years"
was effectively produced, displaying
some real and imaginary phases of
early married life. A native trio of
musicians, which accompanied the
presentation of tableaux and later
played for the dance, here filled an
expected elocutionist's vacancy with
some excellent Hawaiian singing and
playing. The ARTISTS Dream"
tableau was we'll executed sub
ject being pretty enough for any
body's dream.
Mrs. Neill, accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Cooper, sang solo in
her accomplished manner. Temp
tation," from Faust, was the next
tableau and was put up in striking
style.
The inimitable vocalist and ban
joist, Geo. l.. Ritman, sang "Job
Lots" with capital improvisation
at the end suited to the occasion.
Every verse was greeted with roars
of laughter, and the merriment over
the topical addendum, introducing
the Daughters in an absurd light,
was simply convulsive. An encore
was gracefully refused by the must
clan on the ground of the length OF
the program.
The thanksgiving drama, Golden
Pippins," scenes laid in the Ameri
can civil war, was effectively pro,
duced by Miss Plemer, Mrs. Petrie
Mrs. Burnheimer, Mr.. Murphy, Jas
Mcclure, G. Carter, j. j. Locker and
several supes. Mr.. Murphy as stage
director ably aided the success OF
this and the other dramatic skits.
Mr.. Ritman and Mrs. McAllistel
, gave the Quaker Courtship," vocal
duet, in costume with perfect acting
and charming vocalization. The
tableau, Faith, Hope and Charity
Cross and Crown" finely gotten up
closed the literary and musical divi
, sion.
Cake and lemonade were in the
r intermission served to the entire
, company, beginning with the roya
party. Her Majesty's lemonade was
, served in silver cup. 1t was nov
10 o'clock, and, by the Queens per
mission, the officers of the Daugh
, ters of Rebekah filed forward to b'
presented to Her Majesty, who adj
= dressed Mrs. Nicoll substantially a.
, follows:
