ever. being i%mpromptu and interpreted
With pleasant conversation. Mrs. George
Hill gave q number Of pleasing vocal ssleo'
tions; Miss Murphy favored them with In
ssrumsntal music. rs did also G. j. Clark.
Louis Sanders also Ravs a number OF vocal
selections. with his own guitar and Mr..
Zoeckler's a. accompaniment; other mem
bers OF the Banjo and Mandolin club who
were there contributed some stirring
marches. Perhaps that which was enjoyed
she most Was given by Mrs. Ksnnetts
little seven-year-old daughter, who sang
ths BABY Song'' from Wang in a most
delightful manner her sweet little child
voice harmonixing perfectly with ths
piano. showing the possession OF a correct
musical ear.

Thursday evening occurred in the audi
forum the mueh.talked- of DAIRY Maids
Drill;" and the joint and several opinion Is
that IL was q very pretty and successful
affair. The thirty-six young girls, each
gowned In white. Josephine style. with
dainty white CAPS upon their heads and
carrying bright tin pals. marched and
counter marched in two and four ranks.
and formed various intricate geometrtcnl
fiRures, all with a precision and grace that
reflected much credit Upon themselves and
their trainer. Mr.. Hopkins. The music for
the drill and other parts OF the entertain
chestra, and was notable for it's accuracy
and harmony. The drill occupied nearly q
half-hour and was performed without q
single ertor the audience tsstitying its ap.
p,oval by repeated applause. The other
features OF the entertainment were also
very good. The tableau1 were remarkable
for their beauty and graceful arrangement.
The ducts by Misses Stuart and Brooke,
and by Mrs. Adams and Miss Brooke were
very much enjoyed. All of these singers
are too we'll known TO need further COM
mendatiop.
The scene was the first appearance Of
Miss Louise Anderson before . Helena aud
her posing and the motains of hands and
arms being extremely graceful. showing
her to be = disciple of Delsarte, faithful to
the ait. l. was also Miss Mckse's first ap-
psasanse. and though the conditions were
unfavorabls for elocutionary effect. the
body of the great hall being empty, and the
audience far away. yet she drew forth gen.
srous praise. Her stage presence is pleas
ing. her movements graceful. her voice is
81, and we'll modulated, and capable of
expressing difficult parts, such as the howl
ing wind, with fine effect; her passion and
pathos, and he. self confidence give much
promise for the future.
The banjo ana mandolin club also fur
nished a couple of numbers In their usual
acceptable style, the last encore. 1.-THE
Uarkies PATROL" being especially COM
mendable for the manner in which the
crescsndo and diminuendo were executed.
Although the programme was a long one
It held the close attention OF the audience
during the entire time, and this success is
due largely 10 the ~tireless efforts of MIS-.
Leslie sulgrove, under whose management
and supervision tho entertainment WAS
planned and executed.
Seldom has tho q. A.. r. hall held such a
large number of people as it did Wednes-
day evening, at the entertainment given for
the benefit of the temple Emanu-El. The
hall was literally packed. all the standing
room being taken even into the little ante
rooms. Mrs. Weirick told in thrilling
tones John Boyle ORsilly's pathetic sto y
of the 'Dukits SNAKE" There was no
ranting in Mrs. Weiriok's recitation; her
core Mrs. WeiEick responded with u little
character sketch of James Whitcomb
ReiIly's entitled. 'Prior to Miss Bellies
Appearance" in which tbs entant terrible
of the family diacloses many things which
he had better keep to himself. The say
ings of this gleelul youngster brought
forth another storm OF applause, and The
soliloquy of q Five Days Old Baby was
given, amidst much laughter. The Helena
Banjo and Mandolin club alao succeeded In
pleasing this ,itical audience; their first
number being the Triumph March, and
the encore. 'Ihe Invincible March," All
OF the numbers of the programme wa Q
meritorius, and only lack of space forbids
individual mention. After the concert
was concluded the floor was cleared of
chairs and dancing began. In this there
was no lack OF enthusiasm and Prof.
shapes orchest a furnished most accepta'
BILE music. the good time continuing until
. late hour.
The entertainment was a decided fnan-
cial SUE cess. and much of the credit is due
to the Misses Loeb and Feldberg. thu ough
whose untIrinR energy and personal super
vision it was conducted.
II was a merry party Of young ladies and
gentlemen who met at the residence of
Mrs. Ellen Hughes last Tuesday evening,
che occasion being the dual birthday Of her
son. Willie Hughes. and Miss May Carter.
The early pat of the evening was enjoyed
IN social interchange aud music, the vocal
selections by the young ladies being thor
oughly appl eciated. The piano and violin
selections by Miss May Carter AMI Willie
Hughes wera artisticails rendered and dis.
played their rare musical abilities to the
best advantage. Later Il sumptuous repast
WAS served, which was pattaken OF with
right good will. after which willing feet
tfipped through may dance until n lat.
hour. when they reluctantly departed, wish.
ing the courteous young host and hostesl
