which hung from the walls and balcony.
The place presented a very pretty APP

and palms added very much to the beau
ty of the scene. The music played by
Crangner's orchestra was of a patriotic
nature, and much enthusiasm was dis
played when Mr.. Sidoire S. Jordan sang
several patriotic songs.
The play, sOur Regiment" was well
given by these amateurs. and a great deal
of credit is due them for their portrayal
of the different parts. The scene Is laid
