SCHOOL EXERCISES.

Wadsworth public school took place at
Music Hall last Wednesday night before
a large and appreciative audience.
The first number on the program was
recitation by Miss ALA Ciippinger. 1t
was well delivered, was received accord
ingy and was a fitting introductory.
vocal duet by Misses Bulah George
and Zue Geery was musical treat and
the young ladies were heartily encored.
Lillian Esden followed with an instruc-
tive recitation and was rewarded with
applause.
The "Milkmaids Drill" by fifteen little
lassles with their milking stools was
performed with wonderful precision and
called forth storms of applause. Those
who took part in this drill were:
Geneyieve Donelin. Lila Abbay,
Wanda Esden, Ora Gill, Fannie Pike
Matte McCumber, Winnie Ross, Maud
Simpson, ALA Clippenger, Tessie Done
lin, Claire Lewis, Sadie billiard, Helen
Hettenhausen, Alice George, and Annie
Crosby. They sang Flowers, Pretty
Flowers" +" very sweetly.
Then came the Brownies who were
given very hearty welcome and de-
servedly so as their costumes were
unique and they were all made up tout

They sang "We're Band" and had
to come back and sing it again. &.
The duet by Aesthetica and Cholly
Boutonierre, respectively Alice George
and Jim Abbay, brought down the
house. Now people believe Jim is really
and trnlya dude and they are thinking
of hanging him up in the middle OF the
pavilion as statuary.
Clyde Lewis was also exceptionally
fine as the Italian organ grinder and he
has very sweet voice, Jim Abbay was
the bear and we wondered where was
the monk.
Lola " illey made very pretty Queen
of the fairies and the following sweet
little girls were of the band:
Eva Beemer, Drummer; Josie o. O'Brien,
Accompanist Calie Austin, Maize
billiard, Annie McKenna, Agnes Nc
Kenna, Rosie Monte, Myrtle York,
Lillian Esden, May Pollock, Ada billiard,
Edna Hodge, Jennie Marshall, Julia
billiard and Ruby Haller. The fairies
sang: "In a Big, Big Town." and if
there is anything iii big town they
were not going to see, we cannot recall
it.
"A Perfnmed Fan" as sung by the
fairies was very, very sweet, and de-
served the encore it received.
The entertainment, all in all, was q
fine one and our children are away ahead
of their parents in marching and music.
We have every reason to feel proud OF
the children. The reporter would like
to make some comments, but time and
space forbid.
The proceeds OF thereyening will go
towards purchasing books for school
library and in that measure. we concur
heartily.
Rev. T. L. Belam gave short but
pleasing and profitable speech in regard
to the children's work.
Principal Dornberger and Miss Mamie
Lane are entitled to the commentator
of the public for the labors they per-
formed so well.
PRIMARY DEPARTMENT
On Thursday last. the 18th inst,
large audience assembled at Music Hall
for the purpose OF witnessing the exer-
cises OF the Primary Department under
the supervision of Miss L. Parker.
1t is needless to say that those who
felt sufficient interest in the efforts OF
the little ones to attend the exercises,
were very much pleased with the work
