The Boston Rivals gave the first enter
tainment in the Star course last week Fri
day evening Although it was very fine

her previous appearances here, the univers-

before read so well in town.
Miss Eva Woodward who is so pleas
ular of the teachers of our public schools,
and who was obliged to give up her posi-

her mother in Wellesley, Mass, but there
is prospect of her full recovery now.
