 The numbers were all good and those parts rendered by the blind were especially appreciated, as 1t was recollected what difficulties they had met with in the preparation. Miss Peterson was especially good in her contralAo solo, her voice filling the room. At the conclusion of the pro- gram the audience was invited to see the blind working in the rear of the room, where the men were making brooms. It is truly surprising how delft these people are, some of whom have never seen the light of day, The various articles necessary in the entertainment have been loaned by diff ferent firms and persons. The cards for cars and other odd bills by Futile, Morehouse & Taylor; tickets by Price, Lee & Adkins; silverware by J. B.. Bright; dishes by Diebel; chairs by Chamberlain, Stahl & Hegel, Brown & Durham, Lewis & Maycock, Armstrong & Co.,, and Cox & Henze; piano by Loomis; gas stoves by New Haven Gas company, and decorations by New Haven Decorating company.
