~ONaSAAAJ anu AnduNldiIys DC ldlu"
ment consisted of reading by Misses
Marguerite Robinson, Bernice Winslow
and Maud Hurst, and vocal solos by M.
J. Lyster and Miss Flora Campbell;
vocal duets by Misses Pierce and
Morrison and Sleeper and Foster;
cornet solo by F. E. Winslow; violin solo
by Cleon Colby, and a banjo solo by
Mrs. Grace Ball. After the entertain
ment there was promenade and between
two marches Sam Currier pleasantly
entertained the audience with three
humorous selections. Mrs. A. l.. Finney
deserves much credit for the success Of
the evening, for she had the entire charge
OF the entertainment.
Organ Recital.
The organ recital at the Universalist
church last Wednesday evening more
than met the expectations of the people
attending. Miss Emma Shufelt, E. A.
Sllsby and II. H. May, of st. Johnsbury,
all pleased the audience with their vocal
solos and were heartily encored. The
feature of the evening, however, was the
organ recital by G. H. Ryder of Boston.
All of his selections were finely rendered
and greatly appreciated and especially
the Storm at Sea-" when it was hari
to realize that there was not a real
thunder storm in progress. The organ
itself is very clear, sweet-toned one and
the Universalist people are Justly proud
OF 1T, and they now have one Of the most
attractive churches in town.
The Lecture Course.
The Mysterious Trio very entertain
ingly closed the lecture course last Satur-
day evening. The company consists of
Durno, magician H. ]. Emmett, must
cal humorist, impersonator and ventrilo-
quist; and F. E. Hansell, whistler.
Each OF the three is an artist in his line.
The work of Durno was wonderfully
clever. He did many remarkable tricks
and it was impossible to discover how
any were done. Mr.. Hansell as a
whistler is rival OF the birds. His
initiate of the several bird songs was
excellent. Mr.. Emmett during his first
part of the evenings entertainment kept
the audience in a continual roar OF
laughter. His jokes were all new and
original and he alone would furnish an
evenings entertainment. Nearly $40
were taken at the sale of tickets for that
evening in addition to what had been
taken by the sale of the course tickets.
Taken as whole, the lecture course has
been an excellent one, and very successful
financially and otherwise. After paying
all expenses over $76 remain in the
treasury.
