The kaleidoscope entertainment given
by w. Z. Field of Arlington, VT, under
! the auspices of the Christian Endeavor
society, at the town hall Wednesday even

seemed to enjoy it from first to last. Per-
haps some of the most striking pictures
we're the feeding of the doves and the
black diamond express, which were so
wildly presented as TO almost make one
forget it was not reality, instead of merely
the sembance of it. The entertainment
being a novelty here, we feel sure if 1t
were to be- repeated, larger audience
would be present.
