l The Shipp Brothers gave as their first 1 selection Gounod's "Marche Religeuse," ]" l which was enthusiastically encored. 1 MT. Burdette reeted "The Good Mans | Creed" which consists of little thought, little care, a little tenderness, a little l prayer, making all things savory through | and through. The man with such creed l is faithfully faithful honestly honest, | righteously righteous and truly good. l The humorists next selection was "Sar- l dimes on Toast" written by Palmer on
 board a Liverpool steamer. Them sar- l dimes" served to point moral intended l particularly for the gentlemen: 'When l you've eaten all you ought, don't eat l any more"

 MT Burdette and Messrs. Harry and i Charles Shipp gave a banjo trio, and as 1 an encore a banjo description of a plan | tation. Quite apropos to these was MT. | Burdette's next recital In regard to m l old time Christmas jolliflcation, which | opened with a Prayer for a blessin' on de dance, dat de good Master would fit l dem for Heavenly dancin' wid dem sher- | ifs in de sky" Then the dusky old fd dler played and called the figures in an | original and peremptory manner until the hour of parting drew near, and some one snatching a banjo gave an amusing account of it's origin during the days of the flood. The colored barber, Ham, "de only nigger runnin' on de packet" in- vented this delightful instrument, which became so popular that now "everywhar you find de ngger dar's de banjo and de possum.'
 A ridiculous story was that of the his fvtA ,01 gardens in Cincinnati and seeing a spec imen of the Darwlnian theory seated in cage being suddenly seized with a Shakespearean mood. The denoument was rich.
 After Three or Four Minutes With Rev. Samuel Jones" MT. Burdette re- cited "The Foreigners at the Fair" com posed expressly for him by MT. Fred Emerson Brooks.
 By request the Shipp brothers played Annie Laurie"
 "In many winding bout of linked sweetness long drawn out" and another delightful entertainment was a thing of the past.
 The Round Table, rather it's cream or it's dregs, the nine who were present not being able to determine which, held a very pleasant somewhat informal last meeting, with Rev. R. Lynn Walker in nominal charge There was some dis cussion upon literary topics in general and southern history and literature in particular, and after MT Walker had ap- pointed Mrs. Jarvis, Miss Haley and Miss Mary Wood committee to draft certain resolutions, the Round Table of 1895 closed it's sessions, which have been both pleasant and inspiring.
 The first number on the evenings pro- gramme was Thoughts of Love-" com posed by Director J. B. Grass and played by Mir. Grass and Miss McCarty. They are excellent musicians and acquitted themselves with eclat. Miss Bishop rem dered vocal solo, Sing, Oh Sing" and then came the bell ringers with two lovely selections. The Hayden quartette sang a "Slumber Song" and when re- called made an exceedingly clever hit in pantomime suggested by MT. Bur deet's mosquito story of last evening. As second encore they sang When th9 Big Bells Ring that Day" Messrs. Har- ry and Charlie Shipp played zither duet, and instead of responding to the encore the four brothers, by special re- quest, played "In Old Madrid upon the bells. MT. Burdette portrayed we'll the Teutonic Romeo who was pleading with his Juliet, sweetes' one, to wake up her self, but when she continued to snore in blissful disregard of his wooing. his man. ifest disgust was indeed laughable.
 A new and beautiful feature of the pro- grame was the Del Sarte pantomime by Misses Goodall and Robinson, the Chau-
  cal culture.
 With a well adapted zither accompani- ment by MT. Harry Shipp and the ex- panatory calls by MT. Burdette these young ladies assumed the most gracetul attitudes symbolizing shouting, lsten- ing, looking, calling, welcome, begging, application, prayer abandonment, ag- ony prostration, blessing.' surprise, as- tonishment silence, shame. rejection. pride, hopefulness, reverie, flight of brd dancing, courtesy and goodbye. In response to the encore they gave in pantomime Jesus, Lover of My Soul, which was greatly admired.
 MT Burdette caused the audience to shriek with laughter over his Goodbye, Sweetheart" as sung by the wax armed man who would gestculate. even though his artificial joints were clamoring for fabrication.
 The Hayden quartette sang the pug zling problem and it's happy solution of "The Cannibal Maid and the Mission ary," and merely bowed their thanks for the continued applause which they re- ceived.
 Messrs. Harry and Charles Shipp played two more banjo pieces and the charm ing entertainment was closed by Fleet ing Days Waltz" upon the bells
