A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment held at the
Farms, last Wednesday, was very sue
cessful. The rooms were filled with
guests; quite number came from OK
ford. Dancing was enjoyed until
late or rather early hour. Mr. Bliss
furnished the music. The repast pre-
pared by the ladies was very satisfac-
tory and the cake delicious. No trouble
had been spared to make the evening
4 social one. AS the gramophone could
not be brought over from Woodmont,
little farce was given instead by the
three Rafter children; they were dress
ed to represent darkies and caused
much merriment. Mr. Hagar gave
some comical recitations and Mr. Ryder
and Mr. Rafter readings. A very pref
ty sketch was ably given by Misses B.
Adams, o. E. Platt and M. Lum which
was loudly applauded. The great
melon case was very amusing, the parts
being we'll taken by Messrs Ryder,

the Maine when it was blown up, and
a finer man l have never met. We
were all introduced to the Admiral

the quarters and all had lunch tOgeth-
er. After lunch we went up to see one
of the "DattOs," who live ABOUT hall
a mile a. the river. The navy men
enjoyed the trip very much, as none OF
them had ever seen the Moros in Their
