The best of the three presentations of
the "Allegory of America was that
given last evening, but it is regrettable
that the audience was, as in the preced-
ing productions, of limited proportions.
Many additional special features were
introduced which, with the regular pro-
gramme. made the entertainment all in
all q very enjoyable one. The little
children who loaned their juvenile tai
ent to the occasion were especially in
teresting.

cited "The Minuet;" Tessie Hannaway
sang when Mamma Lets Me Out"
and very cleverly danced sailors

in a manner which won for her hearty
encore, and the Davies children, Edith
and Eddie, again furnished much
amusement with their songs.
The children of an older growth who
entertained were Misses Susan Black
and Elida Garragan, who sang solos
and duet: Alfred WOoler, who also
sang. and Larry Ketrick. who gave a

Company BIS exhibition drill was
warmly applauded as at the previous

The Importance of Randolph's five

have great weight, both within and

Everything is open. Both Grout and
Stickney workers move about in search
of undecided voters to pin" chatting
each other good naturally the while.
With all the interest, but little bitter
ness has cropped out so far. We trust
this spirit will continue.
There will doubtless be tickets pre-
scented for both men at the caucus and
a ballot will determine ''who is who"
Concerning the Congressional con-
test but little has been heard thus far.
The other contest overshadows it.
While the HERALD supports Stickney
and hopes and expects that he will
win, both in Randolph and the state, it

expression Of Republican sentiment
and to that end urges all, regardless of
preference, to attend the caucus which
will be held at Dubois u Gays hall
next Saturday afternoon at 4 O'Clock.
