Although the weather was decidedly
unpleasant last evening, more than one
hundred were present at the fifth enter
tainment and social of Lieut.. Thomas
Moies Camp, No. II, s. OF ", held at G. A.
X. hall. The handsome interior was ad-
ded to by temporary stage with a neat
little box set OF scenery and upon each
side large American flags served as dres-
sing rooms.
The programme comprising instrument
tai and vocal selections, also readings and
plantation melodies was frequently inter
rupted by applause, and encores were IN
demand. The quartette of young men
members of the camp did nicely for anna
teurs, their voices blending harmoniously.
Miss Lottie Burlingame,a former pupil Of
the High School here but new celver hu-
morist OF Providence, gave readings In
her own jnlmitable style, which showed
much study and careful training. She
portrayed several characters and has a
| bright future before her in her chosen
profession. rhe programme closed by
the sketch entitled, "a Fathers Mis-
take" by Geo. DE LaSalle, the we'll known
sketch artist. During the evening Col.
William p. Brown, commanding the State
| Sons OF Veterans, made interesting re-
marks whicn Iwere descriptive of the
| meanings and work OF the order. Then
came dancing to the music OF the Paw
tucket City Band Orchestra until mid
night, when the successful event ter
minated.
| Several washouts.
Yesterdays heavy rain caused several
washouts upon the highways and con-
siderable work by the highway surveyors
will be required to place them in proper
condition. AT the corner of Mill and
| Central streets, where new water pipe
was recently put in, the water made sad
havoc, washing away the gutter several
| feet and under the sidewalk within a short
distance OF the foundation wall of the
corner building. On Cross street there
were several minor washouts. Dexter
street, as usual, was a miniature river, and
| for people to reach the street cars planks
from the curbstone were required TO serve
as foot bridges. On Foundry street there
was another dangerous excavation.

several kegs of lager beer by bursting.
This is another instance OF replacing the
