SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
In the Boys Contest Mr.. E. F, Ketter
Wins the Honor-0 Other
Features.

The Opera House was packed al
most to the limit last evening to hear
the declamatory contest and witness
the other entertaining features that
are always expected.
The first drill, the Spanish Minuet'
South Side, was beautiful. The fan
clful costumes of the children added
much to the appearance. They
tripped as gracefully and accurately
as you please, 'just like my grandma
used to dance years ago. Misses
Davis and Milligan had charge OF
this.
The first speaker, Mr.. Sam Norris,
gave "The Black Horse and His
Rider He handled this splendid
selection admirably and with ANNA
tion, which held the interest of his
audiince.
How pretty the flower parade was;
| sixteen sweet and pretty little girls
daintily dressed in colors representing
different flowers and carrying stails
| with a bunch of their respective How
ers tied on the end. They made a
| bouquet lit to adorn any stage. Misses
| White and Duncan were the creators.
1.-THE Boy Orator of zepata City"
was given by e. +. Ketter. Mr.. Ket-
ter brought out this piece well. His
L..
character Of the old prisoner pleading
for Just one year Of liberty was very
touching indeed, and won the SYM
pathy Of the audience. He spoke with
an earnestness, tempered well with
repose. He was perfectly free from
stage rant.
Twelve dainty little maids in white
carleton dresses, spangled with gilt
and silver stars, gave a pretty little
drill and ball tossing fantasy. Misses
Goodrich and Karnes had charge OF
this.
William Cross was the third and
last contestant and gave "The Grave
Scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet.
For a school boy to understand such q
stupendous task as to interpret
Shakespeare would seem rather i'm
possible, but MI. Gross gave a splen'
did rendition. His characters were
distinctly drawn, and he made the
difficult changes rapidly and Will
ease, displaying earnest work. III

matte ability, well worth developing
The hit of the evening was thu
tableaux from Mother Goose. Th'
dear little boys and girls who actec
In this did we'll, everyone of them ,ant

each participant, separately, but viii
have to take them as a whole ant
say that they we're splendidly pre-
sented. The costuming added a grea'
deal to it. From Old Mother Coos
, herself to the Old Woman Who Live
In the Shoe. The last tableau, which
was beautiful, represented the OH
Woman with her immense shoe; sh
certainly did have more children tina
she could well manage; just as tn
lcurtain went down she was in the &C
of whipping them severely, which n
doubt they needed.
Prof. Mcmillan then announced tn
decision of the judges in favor of MI
A E. +. Ketter.
II The Judges were Rev. A. A. Wa
lace, Messrs. Geo. Robertson and I
A. Witherspoon.
