Under the auspices % the Rochester So
ciety OF Jniyersalists, through Mrs. Dana
Goodno and Mrs. Julia Pierce, a charming
cantata was given two nights in succession
at the Grand Army hall, Tuesday aud
Wednesday evenings, Dec. p and 80. The
house vas well filed both evenings and
by special request the pageant was repeat
ed on Thursday as matinee. The title is
"a Dream OF Fairy land" The fairies and
sprites were under the care and manage
ment OF Miss Libbie Whitmarsh OF North
held whose skill and patience in training
them were seen in the unusual display OF
charming evolutions OF the fairies and
sprites In their picturesque costumes. So
enhancing was the whole pageant that
one felt as though he were already in fairy
land The Two Orphans were well sus-
tanned by Misses Ruth Dole and Mildred
Ellis. Misses Kate Austin and Luna
Swinyer were enhancing queens OF the
fairies. The magic wands OF these queenly
fairies produced strange and delightful
evolutions. Special songs and dances
were introduced and well executed by
Misses Maud Downing and Hattie Evans
of Northield. Their songs and dances
called forth loud applause and encores.
Nor must we forget that the sprites were
specially delightful to the enraptured au-
dience. The dancing and singing by the
little sisters, Addie and Helen Swinyer,
called forth vociferous applause by their
rhythmic movements in dance and splen-
did harmony in song. The morale of the
play is such that any church or other So
ciety might protitably undertake to repro
duce this cantata. IL is divided into three
general parts: LIST, where the two orphans,
weary with the desolation of being left
alone and having an idea that good fairies
are watching over then, set out TO find the
fairies home but become so tired that
they sit down and fall asleep and dream
what is represented on the stage by the
fairies, good and bad. The bad succeed in
Turing the orphans from the good fairies,
but, on accomplishing their end. leave the
two little orphans severely alone and thus
the unhappy prodigais are determined to
retrace their steps TO the good fairies, but
when they nearly come in sight OF the
fairies home their consciences make cow
ards OF them and so they hide themselves
behind some flowers. " here the good fairies
find them and take them unGer their care
The bad fairies, on seeing the kindly spir-
1t of the good fairies, plead to be taken in
to their home SO they may become fairies
OF goodness. On their acceptance by the
good fairies the young and little sprites
appear on the stage and go through a Sc
ries of beautiful and delightful evolutions
displaying great happiness at the return
OF the pTodigal orphans and the reforma-
ton OF the dark fairies The cantata was
brought to 3 close when all the fairies and
Sprites were assembled on the stage under
lime lights
