The entertainment in Judge Emer-
sons park and residence on Tuesday
evening in connection with st. Paul's
church was favored with fine weather,
but the attendance of the general pub
lie was not large. A quartet played
a selection of music in the pagoda in
the earlier part of the evening with
good effect, and later on those assem-
bled in the house were favored with a
of music and recitations of
the Misses Pike. Their performance
was of high order in all respects, and
was very highly appreciated by all.
Mrs. O'Brien very kindly volunteered
to fill up gap and rendered two songs
very artistically during the evening.

to people who attempt |

the road was almost binding. Steps |
should be taken to prevent recurrence
Of the nuisance.
