From such distant points even as Glasgow and Paris these inquiries were wired to Washington.

was well recited.
| Vocal solo, Bright Star Of Love-" by
Miss Alice Lille, eighth grade, Central, ,
with violin and piano accompaniment,
was one of the most pleasing parts of the
program. Miss Lille has an excellent
voice, which shows rare culture. She re-
sponded to an encore, but We failed to
get the title to the second piece.
The sash drill by sixteen girls, third
grade, Central, presented n scene of grace
and beauty which surpasses our power Of
description. They were dressed in long,
flowing robes OF white, and carried long
ssshes of red and blue. The perfect
drill with which they performed their
evolutions in forming the different tab
lesux, together with the bright colors,
made a Kaleidoscope view to behold
which was alone we'll worth the admis-
sion fee.
Concert recitation, "The Sparrows'
Song" by twelve girls, fourth and fifth
grades. Central, was nicely rendered.
Violin duet, "Caliph Of Bsgdad," by
Misses Josephine and Susie Erwin, Sth
and 9th grades, Central, was a rare mu-
steal treat. When We saw by the pro-
gram that the "Csliph of Bsgdsd" was to
be played by two schoolgirls, we thought
it presumptous but after We had heard
it played by them we had more conf
dence in the ability of Yakima girls. 1t
was played grsndly. An encore brought
back Miss Josephine, who gave Us Ben
Bolt" very sweetly.
The ring drill, by twenty-five girls, 5th
and 9th grades, Central, WAS highly APP
preciated by the audience. The move
ments were very fine and graceful.
Recitation, The Wind" by Master
Percy Greene, was we'll recited. 1t is a
difficult piece, but Master Percy was
fully equal to it. If he keeps on he will

"John Maynard" recited by Lottie

ceved an encore.

During the delay caused by shifting the
scenes and preparing the stage for the
play, Professor st. John came before the
curtain and gave an exhibition of Indian

ever saw. and it seems remarkable that
the clubs can be swung in SO many ways
and in such graceful manner. He WAS
loudly cheered by the audience, and es-
plcialy by the school children, with
whom he is very popular.

ST. EllIabeth'S HOSPITAL.

A HERALD reporter took occasion to
pay visit St. Elizabth's hospital a
few days ago, and was surprised at the
great improvement made in that institu-
ton by the new addition which has been
completed several weeks. Twelve new
rooms have thus been added, so that now
fifty patients can be easily cared for, and
in case of emergency, several more.
The chapel has been moved into the
new addition and doubled in size; the
large ward has also been moved into the
new part, and dining room arranged
where it used to be. A new pharmacy
has also been added. Electric call bells
have been placed within reach of each
patient, and in every way the sisters in
charge of the hospital are prepared to
take most excellent care of all of those
who need their ssistance.

The interest taken by our people in
their public schools was evinced again
on Monday evening by an immense au-
dience which completely filled Mason 8
opera house to witness the commence
ment exercises of the graduating class
OF North Yakima high school.
1t WAS nearly $50 O'Clock when Prof.
st, John called for the attention OF the
audience, and announced that the exer-
cises would open with prayer by Rev. L..
+. Stephens.
The first number on the program was a

School Entertainment.

The entertainment given by the public
schools of this city at Msson's opera
house last Friday evening is conceded by
all who were fortunate enough to get in,
to have been the most successful ever
given at this place. Both the floor
capacity, not even standing room being
left unoccupied. The stage, although ar
tisticaly decorated with flowers and
bunting, was yet but as a plain frame to
the beautiful picture it surrounded when
occupied by 40 or 80 little children with
bright faces, sparkling eyes, pretty COS
tunes and graceful movements.
After few remarks by Prof. St. john
who had charge of the exercises, the
first piece on the program, piano solo,
"The Sleighrde," was given by Miss
Frances Schorn, eighth grade, Central. 1t
was rendered with delicacy Of touch
and correctness of exection scarce to be
expected in one of her age, and showed
that Miss Schorn possesses rare musical
taste and talent.
The motion song, Lullaby" by II
little girls of the first grade. Central,
Was very pretty. Each little girl carried
doll, which they swung in perfect uni
son to the music as they sang the lnl
laby.
Round, "AH Ak to Grind" by forty
little ones of the first, second and third
grades, Columbia, was one of the most
pleasing pieces on the program. The 40
little ones were kept in time by bright
little colored boy who stood on box and
acted as musical director. In response
to an encore he returned to the stage and
made bow with the grace of Chester
field.
Instrumental duet, violin and piano,
Nearer My God to Thee" by Master
Herman and Miss Gretchen Crawford,
fifth and sixth, Columbia, was remark
ably fine.
Song, "Our Public School," by first
and second grades, Central. This num-
Der showed particularly we'll the excel
leut irhlulHs tue Iltlle IOlhs were IeCtIN-
ing. The stage was completely filed
with little boys and girls, and yet the
motions required in acting the parts of
this song were in perfect unison. 1t WAS
beautiful sight.
The song, Thank You, Pretty Cow"
WAS well rendered by six boys, fourth and
fifth grades. Central
Duet, "Sparrows' Nest" by Misses
Hazel Corey and Margaret Sanders and
chorus, first and second, Columbia, was
exceptionally sweet. Miss Hazel has a
remarkably strong, clear soprano voice,
while Miss Margaret's alto, though not
strong, was one of the sweetest child
voices We ever heard. The chorus, sung
by children in the audience, gave very
pleasing effect.
The song, Vacation Days." by fourth
and fifth grades, Columbia, was well
rendered. There WAS certain joyous
ness to the voices which gave the i'm
preston that the children looked forward
to their vacation with pleasure.
The dialogue, "a Choice OF Flowers
