the hour of the entertainment,
heavy rain set in and detained many
at home that otherwise would have
attended the entertainment, and as
a number of the children who were ex-
pected to take part in the Delsartte
drill were detained at home, that TEA
ure of the program was necessarily
eliminated. The other parts OF the
program however were carried out In
full and received a generous round OF
applause from all of those present.
