/
an Society held its second annual
ent ertainment in. the Athenian Hall
last Saturday evening. The Hall
was crowded to its fullest capacity
and at 1880 o'clock the presiding Off
Ger called the meeting TO order.
After prayer by Mr.. J. A. Goddard
the program was presented which
was as follows; The Welcome Address
by Robt. Plane was given in few
well chosen and spicy words. D.
r. Goddard rendered defamation,
entitled, "The Black Horse and the
Rider" in very eloquent manner.
The debate on the question. Resolve
That protective tariff would be
beneficial to the citizens of the U.
S. was affirmed in very able man.
ner by H. L. Matthews and denied
by w. T. Robinson in way that
did credit to himself. An Grafton
given by A. G Hull, entitled "The
Anglo-Saxion Race" was Interesting
throughout. A comic defamation
given by J. Q. Wallace showed his
capabilities along that line of work,
Music was furnished by the Junior
Orchestra and quartette which en-
tertained the audiance as we'll as
amused them. The last thing on
program was the reading of the
Athenian by Robt. Elmore, This
was a bright paper and the editor
deserves great credit for the way in
which he entertained the audience.
This entertainment may be called
great success for the Juniors, and
the Seniors feel after being present
at this entertainment, that the Juniors
will uphold the present standard of
the society. There is surely talent
in the way Of oratory there and it is
being rapidly developed.

will be held May the 18th has been
completed. The following prizes to
each contest will be given.
