The morning call., 1893-11-12

pardonable anachronism. The mistress of
the inn began to welcome her guests and
send her coQuettlsh-looktng maids about
their duties.
In the lottery-house the wheels of for
tune began to turn. The various artificers
who dwell in the house behind that OF the
artist began TO beat brass. and cut leather.
and heat their irons to make the beautiful
burnt work for which old Nuremberg was
famous.
In five short minutes the old city came
TO life, from the center co the suburbs.
with one brief week of existence before it,.
and through its streets wandered con-
stantly increasing throng of visitors, paus-
ing at almost every step to wonder at and
admire the many quaint and curious things
which met their unaecustomed eyes.
At 8 o'clock strangers and t0wnspeople
gathered in the city square TO enjoy de-
lightful programme, which had been pro-
vided for the evening. and was presented
upon presumably open air stage in front
of one of their finest buildings.
The programme consisted of twelve
numbers, all of which were received with
most enthusiastic applause. The first was
Leutner's festival overture and it was ex-
cellently played by Casassa's First Regi-
ment band, which also furnished all the
instrumental music for the occasion. a
Czardas by Hasselmann followed, and
then came very charming dance. Loves
Request" by Miss Gladys Myers, and a
"Cachuca" by Miss Helen Taylor. Both
the little ladies were beautifully costumed
In white and gold and looked like veritable
fairies as they fitted about the stage in
the many colored lights. With such
grace and spirit did the little ones dance
that they won q justly deserved encore, to
which they responded by dancing the
Highland fling together to the great de-
light of the spectators. A grand march of
all the participants was the next feature
of the evening, aud the picture which was
made by the young ladies In their hand
some Marguerite and Gretchen gowns with
their becoming caps and smiling faces, the
stately danes in their long trains and
flashing jewels. the good-lOokiDg young
men In their silk and velvet costumes. with
their wide hats and flowing locks, and the
pretty little children In their peasant
frocks, was one to be long remembered.
Perhaps the most picturesque part Of the
long procession as it moved up and down
the street and then wound about the stage
in its stately march was the jewellers in
the gypsy camp, which is situated just out
side the town, and the gardeners girls and
workmen. The gypsies were all most ele-
gantly attired. and their costumes were
maryeIs of barbaric beauty. while the gar
dener's band with their implements OF
toll and burdens of flowers were engaging
in the extreme. The leader of the march
was Fl. r. Morris, whose costume, that OF
German noblemaD, was the richest oil
any in the line. 1t was of cardinal satin
and silk plush and made its owner the
cynosure of all eyes.
After the march ended Nine. Ellen
Coursen- RoeckePs choral appeared. This
choral has been under Nine. RoeekePs in
struction for the last sixteen months and
includes seventy beautiful voices, which
were heard to great advantage in the bril-.
liant waItZ-rondo "Cheerfulness." The
second number given by these charming
singers was kathleen Mavourneen," har.
