AMATEURS SANG "RuTM.,
Weather Interfered with Attendance
at the Cantafa.

at the Cantata.
Ruth" was sung at the theater last
night, leading parts in the cantata being
taken by wel-known singers and the cho-
rus being made up of good voices The
audience was not large. owing, it was said,
to the bad weather. Many more tickets
were sold than the attendance might have
indicated, and financially the eantata was
as great a success as unsteady.
The ladies of the Lutheran Church of
the Ascension, who have had the
cantata in charge, devoted themselves ear
nestly to its preparation, and were second
ed in their endeavor by those who took
part. The ladies desire to extend their
thanks to all who ipr 9py,,way assisted in
the affair. especially TO those who gave
so much of their time and worked so ar
duously to perform their special parts
pleasingly and satisfactorily. To Mrs.
Smith the thanks Of all who aided and look
part are extended.
Mrs. Oh is Lang was one Of the ladies
engaged in arranging the cantata, and
invites the members of the First North
Carolina band, all performers, managers,
directors and ushers to assemble at her
home, at the corner of Hull and West
Broad streets, Friday evening at o'clock
A social time Is promised all who avail
themselves of the invitation.
It is requested that those who. had any
thing to do with the sale of tickets meet
this afternoon at $50 O'clock in the Sunday
school room of the Church of the Ascep-
sion to make their returns.
The North Carolina Band was one OF
the features Of the entertainments Be
tween the scenes is rendered music, and
applause was always forthcoming. The
band is an excellent one. When the regi-
ment is mustered out of the service the
band will leave for tour through North
Carolina 10 give concerts in the different
cities. II is safe to predict that 1t wiz
be successful and that the people OF their
native state will be proud of the perfec-
ton the members of the band have at
tanned as an organization.
Mr. Joseph Doyle assisted in putting on
