pretty features in the kirmess.
Miss Lottie Steinberg appeared in a
white dress containing over sixty yards
of material She danced the serpentine
rainbow dance. A black curtain was
placed at the rear of the stage and all the
lights turned low. As she danced stere-
opticon pictures were thrown upon her
dress. She is very graceful dancer and
the effect was very pleasing. She was
trained by Prof j. Fl. Wetherell, and it
may be said that he has the credit for
having gotten up the finest feature of
the programme

a drill in good shape. There were six
teen young men who took part They
were all dressed in white duck trousers
and other army Announcements.
