The entertainment given ct the Casino
Friday evening for she benefit OF the Bar
Hsrbor medical aud surgical hospital was
one OF the distinct successes of the season
socially and financially.
The large hall wss filled, almost every
seat being taken, the galleries which
out Most of the prominent summer
residents were present and besutifui
| women, handsomely gowne5, were in ali
| parts Of the hall.
As the sests cold for from 81 80 to s. 90
each and the expenses being compars-
lively small, the profits, which will be
turDed over to the hospital fund, were
large.
The entertainment itself was grand
success, snd worth going far to hear and
to see. Mrs. Edgar Scott and the commit
| tee OF ladies who had the arrangements
in charge, Miss Louise Heustis who ar
ranged the tsbIesux, Herbert Jsques,
who acted as business manager and stage
director. and others. deserve great credit
for the splendid manner in which the
whole programme was arranged and car
ried out.
The first part OF the programme was
musical and was opened with two selec-
sions by the Bar Hsrbor choral society
under the directorship OF Maurice c.
Rumsey. The society hrst sang with
Strephon for Your Foe" followed by "Tbe
Magic of Spring.. Tue chorus fully sus-
tained the high standard of excellence
which has marked its work in the past,
and the audience heartily appIauded..
The andsnte from Rubenstein by Josef
Adamowski on the cello, with piano
accompaniment by Madame Adamowski,
was magnificent and the performers were
loudly spplsuded and generously re-
sponded.
Francis Rogers, the baritone, received
an ovation after his splendid singing of
Turn ye to me" and king Charles, and
responded to an encore.
Mrs. Francis l.. welIman delighted the
audience with her charming soprano solos,
and responded to several encores. Her
duet from Paglisccf with MIR. Rogers was
one OF the gems OF the evening.
Madame Adamowski rendered several
piano solos In a mssterly manner.
The second part OF the programme con.
sisted of series of living tableaox.
The first poster was Scribner's magszlue
I and presented Miss Porter as the central
| figure, and on either hand were Srs.
Townsend and Miss Kuowlton, the whole
( forming a very effective group. Miss
Pearson gowned in blue made a hand
some Gesmonds, and Miss Deeripg, of
Washington, was stately in a poster
entitled Vim Mariani.
Mrs. Hugh Tevis, the beautiful west
erner who has been one of the bellies this
season, made decided hit in the Black

poster representing Pinsud's Violet
Perfumes.

Uneeda Biscuit, Jack Potter and Herbert
Jsques, jr. as the Gold Dust Twins,
young Mr.. Wellman as Omega Oh.
One OF the hits Of the evening was
when the Misses Miller and Mr.. weIiman
came on the stage in their costumes and
1 Miss Dolly Miller sang q little song COM
posed for the occasion, telling of the
wonders of Omega Oil. The music was
| catchy and was accompanied by graceful
! dancing by the young ladies.
| After the living posters were some
Jspsuese prints which were represented
| by young ladies becomingly attired in
| japanese costumes.
Among the young ladies in the prints
| were Miss Deering, Miss McMiehall, Miss
