A Splendid Program.

the First NJ. Z. church last Monday
night was most delightful entertain
ment, but did not receive as generous
a pal ronsge from the public ns it's high
character merited. Every number on
the program was an artistic treat and
should have been heard BY an audience
taxing the capacity Of the church. As
a violinist Prof. Dietrich is one Of the
boat heard here for some time and his
playing elicited spontaneous applause
throughout the audience. As vocaiists
Misses Lee and Selleck and Mrs. Archie
White are too well known TO need
cominendation. Suffice IL to state that
their singing last Monday night won
for them the econiums OF all present.
The playing OF Misses Dale and Briggs
on the piano, Of which they are mas
ters, was sup-rb and evoked hearty
and well deserved encores from an np-
precistive audience. Other features
OF the entertainment were the instru-
mentalism OF Prof. Meyers and the
