TIE AccELERANDo CLUB HoNoRED.
Never before has such a lovely gath
ering been witnessed as was on last
Tuesday night at the residence OF Capt
James II. Cunningham. Captain Cum
ningham gave an entertainment in
honor of che great singing club, "Ac-
celerando." It was O'Clock when the
handsome young ladies' and gentlemen
began to assemble at the costly resi-
dence and in the beautifully lighted,
large and palatial parlor OF the Cap
| tain. The tunes that were rendered
! by the club were excellent and the
sweet melodious tones that were never
heard before within those wall will be
remembered years to come. From the
/ pleasing cOuntenance of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cunningham, we Judge that they felt
their childhood's happy days once
more, for the ''do's res and fa's" were
falling thick and fast. The singing
continued until about IL O'Clock, we
peeped behind the curtain Of the win
dow and "lo and behold !" there was
"a large table heavily ladened with all
kinds of delicacies to appease the ap-
petite of all. The guests marched by
the beautiful strains of music touched
by the accomplished organist, Miss
Ida M. Binga, to the table where they
were refreshed. They returned to the
parlor and commenced the social chat
and the tete-a-tete until the President
and leader, Mr.. @. II. Munford an
nounced the good night tune, which
was excellently rendered. Many of the
heads fell back when the time came
for departure.
The invited guests were Mrs. Mary
J. Newman of Pittsburg, Pa, who has
been absent from our city for more
than six years, Miss Lille II. Hick-
man, Mesdames G.. II. Munford, S. w.
Johnson, S. II. Johnson, Mary K.
Fowlkes, Martha A. Fleming, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. r. Cunninghom.
Misses Etna +. Moon and Mary Jen-
kins have returned TO the city.
Well, did you see that fallen Baptist
on last Sunday evening at the COM
munion Of the First Baptist Church?a a
Wonder what's up, She arose to
make covenant too, but oh, that be-
loved pastor, kindly and gently shook
his head and down TO her seat she fell
as If a thunderbolt had struck terri
bic crack upon the cocoanut. All, you
want TO come back, eh Now keep
quiet sister or we will expose you.
Your name is quite familiar around
Manchester.
A certain fellow had his photograph
taken the other day He had a 4th of
July smile on his face while his mouth
gently opened. OH if "Mr. Puck" or
Judge could get hold of it.their books
would sell like "hot Washington pies''
from the bakery.
The "Montecristo Base Ball Club
seem TO be holding their name fright
enough" They have not been beaten
this season. On last Saturday they
played the Newtown boys and up to
the 4th inning the game stood to in
favor of the Montecristos. "squab-
BILE" arose and the game stopped. No
doubt if the innings had been played
the latter team would have outstripped
the former. They are ready now to
meet all comers and go forth bearing
the inscription "The world is ours"
Yes, that fellow was seen promenad-
ing Broad ST., this week, after having
called on Mr.. A. Saks & Co., during his
great reduction sale. Tomorrow
Sunday probably he will come out
looking like sweet kiss falling from
] the lips of his best girl. "Oh aint he
lovely" EAMos.
