The entire performance was SO well up to
the standard and all the young ladies acquitt-
ed themselves so creditably that we can only
speak Of the affair as a whole. We wi u, how
ever, be pardoned, we know, for making an
exception, viz: In the advertisement OF Mr..
{. E. Bruce By little Miss Marion Corrie: This
was inimitable. With airy grace and charm
ing manner she performed her part-verttable
poetry Of motion. She WAS loudly encored
and was considered by many the "hit' OF the
evening.
Delightful music Twas furn ishod by Miss
Le0na Blake at the piano and the Charlotte
Italian Band.
Mrs. Garrison and Mrs. Bailey deserve great
credit for the management OF such success
full and unique entertainment-they having
bought the right from Mrs. Virginia =. Patter-
son of Kokoma, Ind. who has the play copy
righted.
Mr.. j. Allen Smith, A. NJ. Hill l. Sons and
Aug. w. Smith each took TWO advertisements.
Mr.. A. w. Smith also secured advertisements
from j. p. Coats and Geo. Bloom. the latter
sending generous contributions of thread and
candy which were distributed among the au-
dience.
The net proceeds from the entertainment
we learn, were considerable and satisfactory.
