A Large Attendance and . Bralliant
Program mt MetHerott Hall.
Apparently the success of the benefit TEN
dered the Morton Cadets last evening IN
Metzerott Music Hall could, not have been
greater, considering the affair in all its
phases. The hall was crowded with I'M
usually enthusiastic friends, the program
was rendered without a hitch, and the ef-
forts of the entertainers were fully. APP
preciated.
The Carroll Institute Orchestra. under the
direction of Mr.. Sol Minister, opened the en-
tertainment with the Coronation March" y
and then Messrs. Cullen and Collins gave
banjo duet, which won a5veritabie storm OF
applause, and a double encore proved neces-
sary. The Apollo Quartet then appeared
and rendered Sunshine in it's customary
faultless manner. OF course the quartet
vas eneored and it responded with Dixie, !"
which brought down the house. Popular
Geo. H. OConnor convulsed the audience
with a trio of comic songs. after which MI
Sol Minister rendered very difficult violin ION
solo in highly creditable manner. "A barn
tone solo from "Lucretia Borgia," by Prof
Mariana Mama, was highly appreciated, and
then one of the features Of the evening was
in COSTUME and sang You Can't Play in
My Back Yard" as originally presented by
her with such great success in prince FRO
Tem," at the Boston Museum: AS an en-,
core Miss Lewis recited the 'Goblins WIN
Get You, If You Don't Watch Out" Hub
Smith was loudly applauded after his rem
dition of Mrs. 'Enry 'Awkins," but he de-
clined to respond. L'Ecstasi." waltz was
sung in artistic manner by Miss Mary
H. Howe, who also gave Ben Bolt. The
next number on the program was Ihe
Fishes Wedding" by the popular Philhar-
monte Quartet, which sang for a recall "On
Monday Morn" The concluding number Of
the program proper was patriotic Airs,
overture, by the Carroll Institute Orches-
ira, which again demonstrated its right to
stand as one of the excellent musical or
ganizations in this city.
One Of the features of the evening was an
individual competitive drill between fifteen
commissioned officers Of the High School
Cadets. Lieutenant Colonel Harry Leonard
commanded the squad, while the judges
