The e. 8. o. E. Entertainment.

The e. s. 0. e. Entertainment.
The Court Room was crowded on
Friday evening of last week to witness
the performance of the above named
Club.
The entertainment opened with the
sensational tableau = Elaine, Miss
Minnie G omins-and Miss BERTHE Stew
art, "Dumb" -and was good repre-
sentation of the famous painting.
"Beautiful Moonlight" = By the
Misses Comins, Mollie Stewart, Maria
Mclaughlin and Mrs. I'll. A. Comins,
was sweet song, well sung, and re-
ceived hearty applause.
Misses Mollie Stewart and Maria
Mclaughlin as the 'EGirls that Wrote
after the Ball, was cleverly acted and
captured the house, which, with roars of
applause insisted on an encore. The
young ladies stepped the stage with
the grace and ease of veterans rather
than amateurs.
"The Wharf Rat" was recited in
numerous and pathetic alterations by
Ernest Baker, whose makeup was
true to the character.
The Flag Drill by the ladies of the
Club was beautiful representation
and artistically gone through with,
ending with singing "Hail Column
bia." Rounds of applause greeted the
group and an encore was insisted on.
The Bustle by Van Newman and D.
G. Mcdonald was bit of laughable
Irish comedy in which Dan did all
the talking and won all the honors as
linguist. AS Widow McGoogan Dan
was roaring success, and poor Van
couldn't get in a word sideways.
First Love, a Tableau-Miss Der
tie Stewart and Van Newman-was
one of those episodes in real life where
the eyes do the talking and the lips
are dumb. It must have been trying
on the bashful lover for he got out of
there with one bound before the cur
tain was half down.
"The Sleeping Cara Farce in
Three Act" -was one of those very
laughable extravaganzas in which the
several parts were well sustained.
Miss Minnie Comins as Mrs. Roberts,
if not sound sleeper on the rail,
managed to find all her long-lost rela-
tives before the journey was ended
She also made it highly interesting
for the balance of the sleepers, espe-
cially the jolly californian. Miss
BERTHE Stewart as "Aunt Mary" did
her part well. X. G. Davis and G.
Calder as the newly found husband
and brother, did the parts allotted
them in a lovable way. D. G. Nc
Donald as the "Californian" had more
trials and tribulations than Job of old
trying to get in few maps of sleep in
the interval between Mrs. Roberts
poking around looking for an expect
ed husband and brother or wondering
which berth she left her baby in. Dan,
however, stood the ordeal good-na-
turedly and was rewarded by getting
all the Roberts family together ere the
train reached its destination and re-
ceiving a cordial invitation to visit the
Roberts mansion in Boston. Dan said
he'd call, so we await the rising of the
curtain on the next part
j. f. Miles as conductor and Van
Newman as porter could not be i'm
proved upon, and all concurred that
the young men ought to play the parts
in real life.
Altogether the entertainment was a
pleasant affair and gave general salts
faction. Many of the parts were sus-
tanned with force and vigor hardly
to be expected of amateurs.
The curtain, scenery and stage ar
rangements were superior to anything
of the kind we have seen in this coun-
try, even with professional troupes.
