The :. =. Entertainment,

On Monday evening Dec, @btn' inc
Concord Presbyterian Sabbath SchooI
gave an entertainment, entitled I alher
Time Santa Claus and Uncle Sam,
which not only excelled all its former
nubIic performances but echpsed any
thing of a like nature ever attempted
in this vicinity.
The exhibition was witnessed by Il
large and appreciative audience, such as
is only seen here on rare occasions.
Many of the spectators were from
distance and quite number OF theih
EXPRESSED themselves as beng greatly
delighted and highly pleased with all
that they saw and heard. No better
cast of characters could te found IN tnls
vicinity, and in their selection the com
mittee exhibited rare skill and eXcellent
judgement. The decorations were All
that could be desired and were neatly
and tastefully arranged, and consisted
mostly of evergreen, festOOns, WTedIh
mottos, flags while large natlonal EN-
blem with TIE Christmas star IN the
centre comprised the background. NOT
single hitch occurred IN the rendering
of the performance and the whole aHalr
reflects great credit upon all those VINO
in anyway contributed their share IL
making the entertainment success.
Space forbiGs giving a detailed account
of each performer but all are equally
deserving and justly entitled to great
praise.
The recitation by Miss Kamerer was
a verv fine selection and was neatly and
artisticallv performed The gentleman
representing Father Time, Santa Claus
and Uncle Sam won the admiration OF
the audience.
The most novel part of the perform
ance was rendered by the young LADIES'
and gentleman representing Uncle
SANS newly acquired possessions,
while perhaps the most amusing feature
of the occasion was the martial band
composed of little boys who acted as
escort to Uncle Sam, always to the tune
of Yankee Doodle.
The recitation by Miss Lille kinzer
was rendered in her usual happy and
pleasing mood while Miss Emel1ne
Clark surpassed herself in her accustom-.
ed good style and gracefully delivery OF
her part.
Perhaps the most pleasing feature of
the evening was the recitation of wv hen
