WITH THE AMATEURS.

l Everybody Was Busy Yesterday and Each Entertainment Rehearsed. In St Patrick's hall yesterday after
 noon the young ladies of the Catholic | Womens association, who are to present the three-act drama, Ireland, Past. Present and Future" were dili-
 gently at work preparing for this pro-
 duction which is to be so iutereStinp
 to all who attend next Sunday night at
 City hall. The ladies of the cast have
 mastered all their lines and they are | now putting the finishing touches to the drama. It will be one of the pret- tlest entertainments that has ever been given by this association and will be costumed in excellent manner. The
 scenic effects, too, will add to the gen.
 eral attractiveness. The tableauX will
 form one of the bright features of the whole entertainment and they will be
 presented with all the necessary
 paraphernalia to make them interest
 ing. Tonight there will be another re-
 hearsal in St Patrick's hall :. and on
 Thursday night q dress rehearsal will
 be held in City hall.
 As the rehearsalS progress for the
 production of that interesting drama
 "Ifoodman Blind," which is to be pro
 duced by the members of St Jospph's $
 T. A. society on Easter Monday after
 noon and evening, it can be seen that
 il is to be the best entertainment ever
 given by, this society. At the first re-
 hearsal it looked as though the drama
 was too mixed up and too versatile to
 be an acceptable production for the
 members to attempt. As the weeks
 have passed by, however, the true
 Inerit of the play is being gradually
 brought out and now every character
 is becoming Interesting and each mem
 Der of the cast is striving to Ont1o
 the other. There are very many pretty features connected with the play and the plot is brought out in such an in- 1 teresting way that it will be just like reading story to witness the perform ance. It will be q picture of life as ! it really is and will bring out the good and bad attributes so cleyerly woven into the plot Tickets are now in the hands of the members and should be secured at once as there will be but one evening performance and
 naturally the tickets are limited to the capacity of the house.
 Hello Bill,'' was down here yester- | day from Hartford. Probably you don't know who Hello BilI'' is and | probably you do. Well he is a chan by
 the name of Snow and he is not as cold i as his name would suggest. His first l name is Scott and that does not signify l that he is a member of ",rhe kilties '' 1 He would look good in that dress. how
 ever, but he prefers the every -day-go- ! as-yOu-please style because he has i tender feet. He is a pretty warm ! baby if his name is Snow. and he is | making things hum around the ElEs' 1 lodge room in this city. He gets here l but once q week., but when he does | come he has things his own way and l what are the results? Why he has one of the best minstrel entertain
 1nents in the works that was ever i presented by amateur or professional | companies. He is continually intro- ducing something new and novel at
 every rehearsal and the boys find it a
 pleasure to rehearse under his in- struction. This show takes place on
 May ? and the tickets are already
 meeting with q ready sale.
