Entertainment at Springfield institute Coming
Social Events.

On Friday evening of last week an enter
tainment was given by the pupils of Spring
held Institute, consisting of little play emit
tied ''The Byrds Christmas CARROLL and a
calisthenic exhibition. The audience was
composed Of young people who were invited
by the pupils of the school.
The entire performance reflected consider.
able credit upon all who took part in it, and
Judging by the applause accorded it was most
highly appreciated. The calisthenic exer-
cises, being something of novelty here, at.
tracted good deal of interest and were much
praised. The play was dramatized by Mrs.
Weems from story with the above title and
its plot included scenes both humorous and
pathetic. The characters were all selected
from among the pupils in the school, except
one, Miss Adams, q teacher in the school,
who took the leading part in the humorous
scenes and played it in an excellent manner.
Immediately after the performance refresh
ments were served and when these had been
duly enjoyed some one sounded the note of a
waltz and few couples out of the audi
ence, instantly responded to the inspir-
ing music. Having INDUCED in the Terpsi-
chorean art for a brief space the company re-
tired TO their homes after having spent most
enjoyable evening.
Since Springfield Institute was built several
years ago it has always been credit and ben
eft to the community as an institution of
learning but has never been under the man
agement of such capable and efficient princi-
pals as at present. Professor and Mrs. Weems
seem to be specially adapted to the work of
instructing the minds of the young, and al
though they have only had charge of the In.
stitute during the past year, their diligent and
conscientious work, in which they were ably
assisted by corps of excellent teachers, has
already borne fruit of which they may feel
justly proud.
Several social events which promise to be
productive of much pleasure are upon the
tapis, chief among which is leap-year dance,
which will probably take place during the
.;rst week in June. Those of the young Indies
who have upon any occasion acted in the ca.
pacity of floral decorations for the walls of
Howard Hall will have an excellent opportu-
nifty to settle old scores.

grass crop is looking both pale and short.

or less, in the mud. But after groan and
trial he found he could get up and had no
injuries except sprained leader of the knee,
which was quite well next morning.
