On Thursday night the regular
annual entertainment was given al
the Opera House. These entertain
ments have for several years been so
uniformly excellent that they call
out the biggest crowds Ot the season,
and this year WAS no exception
Half AL hour before the doors were
open tie sidewalk in front Of the
Opera House was packed for quite u
distance on each side, aud when the
doors were flually thrown open, u
rush for seats was made which filed
every available seat before nalf the
crowd had PASSED the outer door.
| The order was not OF the best but
probably as good as could be eX-
pected from so large and hot crowd.
The teachers and pupils work Very
hard to get III these entertainments,
which are really very tine, aud it has
been suggested that this school might
follow the example OF some others
and charge small abundance fee
for the benefit OF its library. A fee
Of twenty-five cents would be very
reasonable for the program usually
offered, aud the proceeds would go

the school library, while it would
have the effect OF keeping out the
most uisorderly part Of the crowd
which usually attend free concerts

The Public Schools are noted es-
peciAliy for the fine DRILLS of the
pupils on these occasions. The cur
taiP rose on lovely sight. About
thirty children from the youngest
grades dressed in the quaint garb oil
our fOreiathers executed faultlsssly
the "Stately Minuet" in the most
cOurtly fashion. In this, as in all the
other drills, the costuming was ap-
prOpriate and well gotten up. The
sword drill by tn e girls OF Hall No. 4
was new and taking, About sixteen
young ladies under command of Miss
Annie Laurie BraZier executed the
sword manual, after which they
were drawn up In double rank while
Miss Brazler reci:ed the Charge Of
the Light Brigade. AS she repeated
the thrilling liues the girls followed
her in appropriate gestures and
movements. In the Carnival Oi
Nations" u number of excellent drills
were introduced, among which were
the Hoop, ZOuave, Tambourine anC
Sprite, each OF which was splendidlN
cOstumed and executed, The othel
