The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-07-27

did not imagine. Filing into chapel number of
boys and girls fom twelve to fifteen years of age
were seen demurely seated at the back of the
platform. 1t was bright and refreshing sight
to many of us to whom such innocent gladness
and zest come not but in visions of the night, and,
if then, are shaded with the misty veil of sorrow
or regret.
The warden in a few words stated that Mrs
Gish and her Evolutionary pupils would repeat

test according to certain fixed rules and to score

The opening quintette was charmingly render
ed. No. was delivered by a young boy of some
thirteen years of age; with continued study and
maturing voice he will make good speaker. No.
we'll built selfpossessed' lad of thirteen de-
llvered his funny piece in a clear natural voice
and should develope into good stump orator.
Nos 3 was good all round. Fairy moonlight
showed the fine quality of Mrs. Gish's work in
the training down of a young girls voice to take
good hold of low notes. No. made an excellent
showing for one so young and with growing force
OF voice will be successful elocutiOnist Mr..
and Mrs. MalOney were simply immense especial
ly Mrs. MalOney who displayed considerable
hlstriOnic ability. They received rapturous
encore which not even the excessive heat could
abate. No. was little slip of girl less than
twelve years of age; but she bids fair to make
reputation in after years if she studies in the
future as closely as she has evidently studied in
the past. Though the general effect of her piece
was not so great yet there was truth to detail of
pronunciation and gesture that ultimately gained
her the award of the judges. No. 10 was sprighty
young lady in green and she most ably portrayed
the noble efforts of Palladium and people of New
Haven in trying to exterminate that bold bad
rObber the English sparrow and in protecting
that inOtfenSive innocent the corner GROCERY
She was very effective, but just trifie too hur-
ried at times, hence she missed the award of
| the judges.
That the treat was very acceptable is beyond
question:; but the heat from the iron roof was
terrific. One man tainted from it's effect. and
there was universal regret expressed for the
loss of the light cotton Sunday coat formerly in
use.
