ENTERTAINMENT AND BALL
Irish-American Social Club Rejoiced
Last Night.


The new Turner hall was well
filled last night with prominent
ladies and gentlemen of the city.
The occasion was the second an
nual entertainment and ball of the
IriSh-American Social club. The
programme was an elaborate one
and was carried out in an admir-
able manner.
Messrs y. F. Heckle, Harry \.
Day rendered a medley of Irish
airs on the mandolin and guitar
and were heartily cncOred.
Miss Emiline StOner, of Calves
ton recited "IIer Letter. in a man
ner that created such incessent APP
plause and she was compelled to
return to the stage and give a
rendition Of young men relating
their experiences of Il nights
pleasure with the girls at a dance.
Miss StOner vas again received
with a shower of applause at the
conclusion of the recitation.
Mr.. w. q. TObin was next to en-
terrain the large sea Of smiling
faces. He sang to the accOmpani-
ment Of the piano, which was rem
dered by his wife. The first song
was "Love's Sorrow" and "The
Wearing of the Green" was sung as
an encore.
Miss HOrtense Jones sang "The
Maid of Dundee" and received a
warn encore Mr.. a. F. Heckle
accompanied her on the piano.
This closed the first part of the
entertainment and a short inter-
mission was held for refreshments
and social chats.
The second part was opened
with a piano solo III "a flat" by Mr..
Horace Clark.
The feature Of the evening thus
far on the program was the
"Laughing Song" of Mrs. Alonzo
Millet, in which she displayed
wonderful gifts as a vocalist. She
also received a warm encore, which
was well-earned, and rendered an
other verse Of the same song.
Mr.. Fred c. Font sang "KathIeen
MavOurneen' and was accompanied
on the piano by Mr.. Horace Clark.
The entertainment closed with
probably the finest piece of e1Ocu-
ton ever heard in San Antonio.
1t was the reading of "Ben Hur's
Chariot Race" by the popular elO-
cutiOnist, Mrs. Lucie r. Campbell,
OF this city, and whom the Alamo
City is proud to call her own. The
applause she received was deafen-
ing and she was compelled to re-
turn to the stage to restore quiet
ude. She then gave a creditable
rendition of what may be entitled
"NeVer Ask Him Where He Is Co.
ing" Mrs. Campbell last night en-
deared herself in the hearts of all
lovers ~Ofelocution in San Antonio
to all who heard her.
The orchestra next struck up an
overture, after which the hall was
converted into a ball room and "a
grand ball"was announced. ArtZt's
orchestra was present for the OCca-
sion and a grand march, led by Mr..
+. {. Fort and Miss Mamie De
Ham, and in which everyone pres
ent took part, started the dancers.
Dancing was kept up until early
this morning, and the entertain
ment and ball to commemorate
the second anniversary of the
lrish-American social club was
pronounced a grand success.
