Mackall, Company D, and himself, that if
200 uniformed men viii go. the maximum
necessary cost of the trip to each man

three days at Nashville. If they go they
leave here June p. Tuesday, and return
the following Saturday.
Further details Of the trip were given
by Capt. Williamson. He stated that 125
men from the Guards would probably suf-
flee, as the remaining seventy-five can be
gathered from other commands in the
city, the only requisite for one boarding
the train being his wearing a uniform.
No doubt a number of members of other
commands will take advantage of the OPP
portunity of spending a pleasant time at
the centennial at a slight cost.

tertained n HaIIfuII of People.
Prof, and Mrs. Mehrtens gave a delight
full musicale at their hall on Perry street
last night. The hall was filled with the
friends of Prof. and Mrs. Mehrtens and
their pupils. There were nineteen numbers
on the programme, which was given
throughout in a manner creditable both
to those who took part and to their in
structors. There were fifteen piano solos,
two piano and organ duets, and two piano
duets. The opening number was the solo
Gondelfahrt by Miss Lilly Weischselbaum.
1t was followed by the piano solos, ''Prim-
rose Waltz by Miss Ophelia Dent; 1.-THE

The piano duet, by Miss Barrow and
Prof Mehrtens, was admirably played.
I'm the Greenwood for piano and organ,
by Masters Lang and Wilder Adams, was
perhaps the star number on the pro-
gramme. Master Lang played the piano
part and Master Adams the organ. There
were repeated demands for a repetition of
the number and the players had to be
taken down the hall to quiet the audience
so insstant was it for the number to be
repeated.
Miss Schwarz, Miss Hull Miss Edyth
