LOR. The moon shines bright; in such
night as this,
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the
And lney did make no noise, in such a
Troilous methinks mounted the Troyan
walls
And sigh d his soul toward the Grecian
Where Cress.d lay that night.
JES In such a
night.
Did Thisbe fearfully oe'rtrip the dew
And saw the lions shadow ere himself,
And ran dismay'd away.
LOR In such a night
Stood Dido with a willow in her hand
Upon the wild banks and watt her
love
To come again to Carthage.
Medea gather'd the enchanted herbs
That did renew old Aeson.
LOR. In such a
night
Did Jessica steal from the wealthy Jew,
And with unthrift love did run from
Venice
JES. '' In such a night
Did young Lorenzo swear he loved her
WELL
Stealing her soul with many vows of
faith,
And ne'er true one.
LOR. In such a night
SANDER her love, and he forgave it her.
JES. | would out-night you, did nobody
come;
But bark. l hear the footing Of a man.
Merchant of Venice, Act v, Scene i.
The witchery of moonlight, of balmy
air, of electric lights, CT green trees,
and grass and fiowers-of well-groomed
men and handsome women-of music
and compansionship, of art and CONVEX
satiOn, and all the rest that goes to
form bright oasis in the desert OF
life, combined last evening to Aake a
social and artistic cuccess Of the enter
tainment given at Wheeling Park Cast
10 for the benefit of the City Hospital.
June ne'er brought a more delightful
night in aid of a noble cause, and the
seven hundred people who rendezvous
ed at WheeIing's most beautiful resort
reveled in the feast spread before
them through the combined efforts of
Nature and of Art, and upon the home
coming it was the opinion without dis
sent that whatever the financial result
might have been, in all other respects
LIlc OulLillc6 VI AL duSoCluSlllo was
deserving Of ever felicitatlon.
Tie audience embraced social Wheel
ing and vicinity TO an unusual degree,
and a glance over the large assemblage
at the rising of the curtain upon the
play which SO cleverly opened the even

the intrinsic worth and, excellent rendi-
ton of programme prepared with dis
eliminating and unusual care, the social
side of the affair was alone an incen-
tive for attendance.
While all praise is due to the Com
mitteee in charge for successful en-
tertainment, it was patent early in the
evening that there had beeen 1T error
of judgment in placing the price Of adj
mission at the figure which had been
named. Last year the tickets were one
dollar, but upon the occasion under dis
cussion it was resolved to cut the
figure in half In the expectation that
there would be an increased attendance.
AS matter CT fact, the audience count
ed about the same as a year ago, and
the net result in dollars and cents will
thus show falling off. This result
was subject for much discussion last
evening, during the progress Of the per-
formance, and there was a feeling that
upon the next benefit the price would
be restored to the old-time figures.
The programme in detail was as fol-
