Amity Lodge No. 161.
The musical and literary entertainment
given in Odd Fellows Hall last Tuesday
evening under the auspices of the Amity
Rebekah Lodge No. 16l, /. o. o. F.. was
very enjoyable affair and was attended by
a large and enthusiastic audience. The
Park band played several good selections
during the entertainment, and through the
balance Of the evening was kept busy play
ing for the dancers until a late hour. The
Baldwin children appeared on the stage
ana amused the audience in some clever
speciaties; with little good training they
would appear TO much better advantage.
Miss. E. f. Bartlett disappointed the audi
ence, aud MessrS. a. BTuhn, IL. Allen and
X. S. d uucan did the same thing. which
proved very annoying to the management.
Messrs. J. j. Atkins, c. c. Coggins and
the Misses Jessie NJ. OLSON, Isabel MunSOn
and Rose Heilborn, gave their several num-
bers very acceptably, but after all there was
only one number of real merit on the pro-
gramme, and that was certainly worth the
price of admission to listen to; we allude TO
that charming and clever reader, Miss Helen
Kelleher, she reCited with the power Of
trained Coincidence, the amusing anecdote
of The RuggleS' Dinner Party" her efforts
won the hearts of her audience completely.
which would not be satisfied until she mad
given one more example OF her art, which
she did by cleverly Teciting The Railroad
Crossing" Miss kelleher has rare dramatic
ability; she has a splendid method and de-
livery, and every word aud syllable Is dis
timely articulated, making it pleasure to
listen TO her. She carried the honOrS of the
evening. Al the conclusion of the enter
tainmeut the floor was quickly cleared, and
the company enjoyed themselves, having an
informal aud very jolly dance. No fuss, no
DO ther, simply a good dance to wind up a
most successful evenings amusement that
was thoroughly enjoyed from first to last by
every one who attended. Light refresh
ments were served in the large pRrlor, and
dancing was Kept up until O'clock in the
morning.
The Excelsiors.
The ExeeIsiorS' monthly dance, which
took place in Union-square Hall last Thurs
off in a most pleasant manner. Mr.. J. C.
Horn and Miss JorGensen led the march.
which was made up of about 120 couples.
Being the Lenten season, the ladies with
few exceptions appeared in very somber
costumes, consequently the party did not
present the usual gay appearance we are
accustomed to witness at the Excelsior
meetings. An effective pyrotechnic display
was introduced very successfully during
the evening" but il failed to enthuse the
dancers; they all looked tired, or rather as
if they ought to be at home. Mrs. E. 4.
Major was as busy and as attractive as
usual and was the best-dressed J. dy on the
floor. She was attiTed in very pretty COS
tune Of white and black, and made Il CAPT.
tai floor director Size was assisted by the
genial Walter G. O'Brien and Mr.. j. c.
Horn, ana the members of the Excelsior
Club were tie reception committee.

pill OF Nine Rosewald, rendered in true
