The childrens carnival, held last Friday
evening in Blanchard Opera House, under
the direction OF Professor and Mrs. George
H. Elmore, did not attract as large an audi
ence as it deserved, but the entertainment
was very muCu VI d buCCeS5 anu

The hibition included solos, group dane
ing marches and dances by the entire class
and although the programme was long the
audience did not become weary. To men

tate naming every one who took part and
where all did so we'll it would be manifest

had every reason to be satisfied with the
work Of his pupils and the parents and
friends who witnessed this exhibition had
reason to appreciate the work Of the in
structor.
