Old Folks Concert.

Congress street NJ. e. church echoed
last night with the sacred and worldly
tunes of eye olden times. An old folks
concert was given by the young ladies
and gentlemen of the congre CATION to ali
highly entertained audience. The Co.'S
tunes of those who took parts were APP
propriate and suggestive of the colonial
days. The programme was varied and
we'll chosen. The humorous Rotations
by Miss Litchfeld and MIR. Whitcomb,
were we'll received. The solos by
Miss Schumacher and Miss Cobb
were rendered with mucn sweet
ness and purity of tone and de-
servedly enoored. A hit of the evening
was the song and acting OF Master
Haseltine and Miss Morse. The quartette
selections are worthy Of special men
ton, notably the ''Lost Chord" Miss
Cobb and Mr.. Montgomery in the duet
'Dost thou love our Sister Ruth, :"
scored one of the greatest successes of the
night. Mr.. MuDopald's solo was very
well received. The chorus was adnlilah-
ly balanced and a notable feature of
the entertainment Its action WAS spirit
ed in the humorous selections and it's
musical work was executed with vim
and accuracy. To it's leader, Mr.. Eveleth,
much credit is due for skiltul manage
ment. Mrs. Mcdonald presided at the
piano with grace and skill, adding much
TO the general acceptance OF the concert.

"All the woEien's whist clubs are also
urged to send delegates and teams.
"Ip the contests there will be NO re-

Bile.
"Tor any information in regard to the
congress address Mrs. T. Fl. Andrews,
1ll9 Spruce street, Philadelphia, to
whom all entries should be sent. We
bsHsvesth congress will be one of the
most successful whist events ever held.
In view OF the action, or rather lack of
action, at Nashville, the women felt they
could not go to Put-in-Bay, ana under
all the circumstances Philadelphia
seemed the most available and appropri-
ate place.
I'VE ate sure the minister's of this city
will joyfully welcome the news that so
important gathering is to be held in
their midst, and do all in their power to
make the visit of their guests memora-
BILE one.
g "The championship events, to wit:
Psirs for women and mixed doubles,
should be exceptionally interesting, and
should bring out high order of whist. -
As everybody in touch with the whist
world knows that the contamination of
this long talked of project has not been
effected without some difficulty, its ulti-
mate success will be looked forward to
with no little anx iety, at least this is so
averred by those most intimately connec.
ted with the proposed league.

OVER BACK BAY FLATS.
wild Kun of Horse Across the Treach-
erous Way.

The first horse that has ever been
known to CROSS in safety tie mud fats
on Back Bay made the trip at five O'Clock
Yesterday morning. He belonged to a
man who was said to be in the employ of
Winchester and Ross, and was being
driven into ths city by his owner.
Somewhere on the street which runs
from Tukey's bridge to Ocean street the
horse took fright at something and
started to run. The man in the carriage
was powerless to hold him and the
animal becoming wilder with every
Jump dashed down towards Tukey's
bridge at a tremendous rate of speed
Near the blacksmith's shop on the Deer
ing and of the bridge the horse freed him
self from the carriage and continued On
his way taking road which ran down
to the shore of Back Bay. The tide was
out, the flats were uncovered and
stretched away towards Portland with
only narrow channel running through
the wide expanse of mud. The horse
took to the flats galloptng wildly over
the Shiny surface. and for time Kept ON
without any perceptible slack Of speed.
Finally his feet began to sink deeper and
deeper in the slime until he had nearly
reached the deep channel through the
fats, when he brought up in mud hole
and began to sink deeper and deeper in
the slime.
The animal struggled bravely tor time
but the moro he struggled the deeper he
sank, and with snort of fear and an
almost human cry for help he continued
to go down into the bottomless pit. His
owner had not been injured by the
collision of the carriage with the tree,
post or whatever tore it away from the
horse, and when he saw the aHimal
struggling in the mud on the fats he ran
for help. At first 1T was thought that
the horse would have to be killed. but by
means Of planks and several minu of
hald work the horse was at last lifted out
Of the mud hole. When he got to his feet
the horse found little f1rmer foundation
and began to run towards Portland
again.
Luckily he cleared the treacherous mud
between himself and the channel of deep
water and plunging into it he swan to
the flats on the Portland side. His owner
and the men who had helped the horse
out of the mud watched the animal climb
out on the Portland side of the bank,
gallop across the fats onto the railroad
EN- bankment and continue on to dry
land. and out of sight. When last seen
the horse was still going and his owner
was TRYING to get back over the shiny
fats to terra tirma on the Deerins side.
