Christian Doctrine Society of the Holy
Trinity parish has been preparing for last
evenings entertainment for some little
time, and the promise the members made
of furnishing one of the most pleasing
programs of the season was fully kept.
The yestry of the church was filed, not
seat to spare in any part of the floor, and
the enthusiasm OF the large audience was
at fever heat during the whole evening.
The first part of the program was made
up of vocal selections, piano and violin
solos and Rotations, the artists in the
various numbers acquitting themselves in
a manner highly satisfactory to them
selves and to those who had come to be
entertained. The children of the Sunday
school were present, and they were much
in evidence during the whole evening.
The vocal solos by Miss Mamie Butler
and Miss Theresa McHale were rendered
in very feeling manner, and received
warm reception from the audience. Mas
ter Leo and Maggie Bannon gained new
laurels last evening by their superb play
ing on the violin and piano. The piano
solo by Miss Lizzie Mahon evoked
storm of applause, which showed quite
plainly that she had made hit with the
audience. The different solos by Messrs.
Forestall, Foy, Duggan, Malloy and Barry
need no comment unless it be to compile
ment them In the highest terms for their
efforts to please the patrons OF the enter
tainment.

Then came the ev mt of the evening, and
it was nip and tuck who enjoyed it the
most, the children of the Sunday School
or the people who are too big to go to Sun
day School. The make up of the different
characters i'm the mock trial struck the
boys present in the right spot, and their
merriment was at the boiling point
throughout the whole trial. The stage
was gotten up in true court style, and the
whole case was argued in regular fashion.
Owing to the absence of the regular law
yers Messrs. John B. Carlin and John Far
rell were pressed into service.

brella, and the funny incidents and quaint
sayings created unbounded interest and
merriment. The makeup of the Court
was as follows: Judge, Christopher Corri-
gan; Clerk, Henry Flynn; Sheriff, Will
liam Conway; Plaintiff, Edward Carney;
Counsel for Plaintiff, John p. Carlin;
Counsel for the Prisoner. John E. Farrell;
