GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.
= Large Audience wem Pleased by Exer-
cises of Children.

St. Patrick's Day was celebrated in Fer
guson's theatre last night by the children
connected with the Anuuuciation Sunday
school and they gave an entertainment that
delighted a very large audience and reflected
credit upon the performers and their nstruc-
tors. Each number of the program was
carried out with almost professional nicety
The audience filed the theatre. A box was
occupied by Revs. Naylon and Kane, Of Phila-
delpha; Rev Donoughey, Of Mahanoy City,
and Rev. Mccullough, Of Girardville, as
guests Of Rev. H. F. OReily, Of town.
The program opened with an overture Of
selected pieces, which was followed by
chorus well rendered by 140 children. A
raintow drill by children was interesting and
Mr.. Frank Grady contributed an excellent
vocal solo. A flag drill by children ELECTED
much applause. 1t was given with admir-
able precision. The same may be said of a
military drill under direction of Master
Charles Wells. A pantomine of sacred
character entitled Jesus Lover of My Soul,
introducing chorus, posings and colored
electric light effects, was a pleasing feature
An operetta entitled Irish May Day was
also rendered by children with good effect.
Michael Burke's defamation was well re-
ceived and the violin duett and Jig dancing
by the three Mahon children of Brownsville,
were accorded well deserved encore. A
chorus 'Tara's Harp" and tableau Maid
of Erin,' closed the entertainment.
The success Of the entertainment finan-
cially can be readily seen when it is stated
that 2,700 tickets of admission were sold
Many of those who held tickets could not
gain admission to the theatre, and a request
has been made for a reproduction some even
ing next week. The committee having the
entertainment in charge and to whom much
credit is due, are holding the matter under
sdvisement, and will probably decide this
evening whether or not the entertainment
will be repeated.
Captain Charles Wells and members of the
military drill request the HERALD to extend
their thanks to A. H. Swain and Beddall
Bros, hardware dealers, for fsvors rendered.
