A VERY ENJOYABLE AND SUCCESS
Full ENTERTAINMENT BY THE
LADIES' AID SOCIETY AT THE
CARROLL CLUB AUDITORIUM-A
CHURCH FESTIyAL-WEDDIN
AND OTHER SOCIAL ENTERTAIN
MENTS.
The entertainment which was given
in the Carroll Club auditorium last
evening, under the auspices of the
Ladies Aid Society of ST. Josephs Ca
thedral, was a gratifying success in
every respect. The audience was very
large, and the receipts amounted to a
handsome sum. The programme was
excellently rendered throughout.
The first number was vocal solo,
faultlessly sung by Mr.. Chas. Zulauf.
Miss Nellie Black very skillfully exc
cuted piano selection and was fol-
lowed by Miss Nora O'Brien, who dis
played considerable evolutionary abil-
ity in her reading of Another Pair at
the Gate" Miss Gertrude Riesters
pleasing voice was heard to good ad-
vantage in her selections. Little Miss
Briceland's fancy dance was an enjoy
able number, and the performer was
warmly applauded. Mr. Emerson de-
lighted his hearers in his vocal solo, as
did also Mrs. Kate Michel-Fitzgerald
who is one Of Wheeling's favorite sing
ers
Mr. Chas. Rays recitation was adj
mirably rendered, and the audience
generously applauded the effort.
The closing one-act farce Turn
Him Out" kept the audience fairly
convulsed with laughter for half
hour or more. 1t is very funny, and
it lost none of it's amusing qualities
in its presentation by the all-star cast,
which embraced Messrs. John J. Con-
if, Geo. Mathison, Chas. Swan, and
Misses Clara Wingerter and Louise
Montague. All have participated in
amateur theatricals heretofore, and
their ability is too well known to re-
quire comment.
A double ''Thanksgiving" was cele-
brated yesterday the oath inst, at the
palatial home of DR.. and Mrs. John c.
Hupp, on Fourteenth street, it being
also the Doctors birthday. The Rev
D. A. Cunningham, D. D., and his niece,
Miss St. Clair, and others. occupied
seats at the elaborate entertainment.
~
The fair at st. Mary's hall, given by
the ladies of the congregation of the
Church Of the Immaculate Conception,
drew large crowds yesterday both in
the afternoon and evening. In the
evening particularly the hall was
crowded. Every booth was we'll pat
ronized and every enterprise to make
money did thriving business. 4 large
number of articles at the fancy booth
were disposed OF, and the ladies serv-
ing refreshments and attending the
supper tables were not idle. Many
persons found considerable amusement
in having the story of their future life
unravelled by the gypsy fortune teller,
and others tried their luck at the fish
ing pond. A popular feature last even
ing was the performance by the min
strels, and their one act farce, Teeth
Pulling" created much merriment
Another event that attracted much in
terest was the cake walk, in which the
minstrels contested for fine cake. The
fair will be continued tonight and to-
morrow evening, and will no doubt be
as largely attended as the first two
days.
The Y M. c. a. hall was completely
filled last night by an audience who
enjoyed a choice musical and literary
entertainment, as is given every
Thanksgiving for the benefit Of mem
bers of the Y Nj. C. A. Miss Bertha
Costello, o professional reader and i'm
personatOr, took part and charmingly
entertained the audience by number
of her selections, some OF which are
original.
The annual Thanksgiving ball of the
Mercantile Club, marking the formal
opening of the winter season by that
organization, was given at the coy
club quarters last night, and proved
brilliant success in every respect.
There was \ large attendance, and
many very handsome gowns were
worn by the ladies. The dance pro-
gramme commenced at nine o'clock,
and each number was participated in
with evident enjoyment by all who
were present. The music vas fur
nished by Meister's full orchestra. At
midnight g sumptuous spread was
served in the dining hall and the or
chestra played during the progress Of
the banquet. The affair was conduct
