Matters

LONG BEACH, April 6.-The Girls
Brigade gave an entertainment Friday
evening at the Tabernacle. which for art
istic excellence and in point of numbers
has not been approached by anything
heretofore given here this season. The
platform with its varied and tasty decora-
tions of evergreens, callas and other flow
ers made bright and pretty picture and
lent an additional charm to the animated
and brilliant scenes which in the unrav-
cling of the programme followed.
The exhibition drill by the girls in the
elucidation and unfolding of the many
complicated and beautiful figures which
their marching evolutions led them into
was really fine and graceful piece Of tao
tical work, and it proves the value of this
exercise as an aid to memory. for the
" hole thing lasting from twenty to thirty
minutes was gone through without orders
and by the power of memory alone. The
tableauX, representing an exciting eX-
perence in camp life on the frontier, and
depicting how the girls held the fort from
an attack by the Apache Indians during
the temporary absence of the troops who
were suddenly called away, was an artistic
and realistic presentation OF an historical
fact We append the programme.
