Entertainment.

The Second Ward Democratic Club gave
sacred concert last evening at local
theatre, which over two thousand people
attended. In the audience there were a
large number of prominent Democrats

that has ever taken place in this city
and the large audience was profuse in
praise for the committee which selected
the talent. Luther A. Ryer, assisted by
Messrs Podmore, Schell and Tippett,
opened the concert with a musical num-
Der consisting of cornet, piano and violin.
Mr.. Ryer in cornet solos, proved himself
a master of that instrument and he was
very ably assisted by Podmore and Tip
pert. Miss Kate Bradley, Jersey City
faverite, was warmly greeted. Her fine
soprano voice was at its best and she
had to respond to three encores. Linton
and Mcintyre, a clever pair of vaudeville
performers kept the audience in roars
with their sketch entitled 'tAn Unloving
Lover which was filled with mishaps
and funny sayings. Phil Heck, the
popular tenor singer, was given an ova-
ton.
Roar after roar of laughter was pro-
duced by Mr.. Charles E. Grapewin and
Miss Anna Chance in their one act farce,
above the Limit Cahill Davies,
monologue artist, who is known as the
MAN from Ireland" and who is good
second to the late John w. Kelly, gave
his audience good ten minutes with his
witty remarks. His jokes were of the
newest.

share of praise. Charles and Annie Full
