The Committee Preparing for Series
of Entertainment

The Committee Preparing fora series
of Entertainments.
st. Bridget's Lyceum has now embarked
upon a new line that augurs well for its
future prosperity, as exclusively set forth IN
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS some weeks ago.
The Lyceum is now managed through the
medium of three committees, Executive,
House Committee and Entertainment Com
mittee. The Executive Committee is COM
posed of some of the best material OF the
association. The Chairman, Rev. ID. ..
Clancy, is one of the most popular priests
that has ever been attached to the church.
He is aided by James P. Hail., one
of our young business men, VINO Is
prominently identified with a number
of leading organizations in the cIty.
He is vice-president of the Board of Trade.
With him ON the committee is Mr. Edward
f. Delaney, one of the most practical n
active workers in the Lyceum; Mr.. o >.
Keilt, another active young business man,
and also treasurer of the Lyceum,, and James
P. Hyland, who is also chairman OF the En-
tertainment Committee, and is, beyond ques-
ton. one of the cleverest amateur delinea-
tors of Irish characters in the city Each OF
the above gentlemen has been actively en-
gagged since their induction into Office devls-
ING means for the financial enhancement
of the Lyceum, and on Monday and luesday
evenings, February 5 and 6, their first plan
will materialize and take a practical form IN
a series of dramatic entertainments at popu-
lar prices, which will be repeated every
month during the season. Heretofore 1t had
been the custom TO produce an nnual enter
tainment at what some persons deemed FANCY
prices, now they will give on the above even
ings three very amusing farces, different IN
their style of humor, n in addition to these
there Will be singing, declamations and an
othIatic onfortainmQnt Of q Salpct n9f1lrn
thereby giving a chance to all the varied
character of talent that has lain dormant in
the Lyceum since it's organization,
and thereby preventing that dread disease
'.ficticious rotunditg of the Uranium" or
'sswelled head,n from affecting those who
may be called upon to enact certain roles IN
the annual dramatic ventures. The coming
entertainment will consist of the amusing
and laughable farces. 1.-THE Editors Troub-
les,n 1.-The Dutch Justice" and "Connie
Clune,'' an original sketch written by Mr..
Edward F.. Delaney, the Vice-Presldent OF
the Lyceum, who has a fund of quaint humor
imbibed from indulging in a continual re-
past of NEUROLOGICAL %chestnuts. The vocal
solos and recitations will be rendered by
other members and Professor Peter Sherry
will give an exhibition of graceful club
| swinging, which all in all will prove the
large amount of diversified talent that the
Lyceum is bubbling over with.
There is also in preparation a popular
drama on a large scale that will be produced
around Easter time.
The Executive Committee will manage the
| affairs of the Lyceum upon a business basis.
The House Committee will take charge of
management of the clubhouse in all matters
| that pertain to the comfort of the members,
and the Entertainment Committee will pro-
vid a series of amuSementS for the patrons
and friends Of the Lyceum.
