The second night of the fete cham
petre was equally as successful, II not
more successful than the opening night.
As on the first night every seat In the
house was taken and the boxes and
loges all occupied. The dances moved
lence Of the first night before the foot
lights had caused the dancers to lose
what little stage fright and rigidity was
observable on the previous evening. In
many other respects improvements
were noticeable anp 1t can be safely
said that today's performances will be
as nearly perfect as it Is possible TO
make an entertainment of the kind. I
The first nighters have cause for
regret in not having seen the serpent
inc dance by the Misses Alice Belin,
Elizabeth Archibald and Grace Spencer,
which had to he cut at the opening per-
formance owing to the programme

scenic shrubbery along the sides of the
stage. Like brave little soldier.

and smilingly resumed his place to re-
peat his laugh-provoking movements.
Miss Lula A. Stewart, directress of
the fete was called to the footlIghts ut
the close of the performance and pre-
sented with a bouquet amid rapturoiis
applause.
A large part of the audience remained
after the performance to watch the
dancing which the fete participants en-
joy on the stage at the conclusion of
the programme. and to partake of the
delicate refreshments furnished in the
lobby by Mrs. II. NJ. Prendergrast's
committee. There was q gratifying
sale of flowers and fancy articles last
night and the bazaar feature of the fete
gives promise now of being q source
of much revenue. The programme for
