Hall Last Night.

fair was delightful success and reflect
ed much credit not only upon the various
committees that had charge of the ar
rangements, but upon the Council as a
body.
| The vaudeville entertainment, which
preceded the reception, was one of the
finest that has been held under the au-
spices of any lodgel or council or social
organization in this city in some time.
None but professional talent contributed
ITO the programme. Prof.IJ. X. Holden's
orchestra furnished the orchestral and
dance music.
Andy Mcleod was the first of the
vaudeville stars whose names adorned
the programme to appear. He is an &c
centric musician, and fully sustained his
reputation as such. With an ordinary
ten cent whistle he initiated the music of
a bag-pipe in such a manner as to set
the heels and toes of all reel and jig
| dancers going, at least to keeping time.
His imitation of the music of violon-
cello with his mouth was marvellous and
his funny saying and songs put him on
the very best terms with the large aud
ience, which vociferously applauded him.
Martial and Macmillan gave clever
exhibition of magic. including catching
out of the air live gold fish on regular
fishing line. The exposition and burles-
que Of some noted tricks caused great
deal of amusement
Mart King. with his s'Dooley Stories"
and tales of the South, drew volleSs of
applause. WymSn and Boss, up-to-date
comedians, at times convulsed the aud
ience with laughter, and Foster and Fos-
ter, singing comedians and character inn
personators, delighted all with their
songs and parodies- The impersonatien
of George M. Cohn, of "The -Four
Cohns," was masterpiece.
Burke and Dempsey kept the audience
tittering and continually on the verge of
exploding with laughter with their funny
stories and songs, and the Belleclaire
Brothers brought the splendid vaudeville
programme to an end with a remarkable
exposition of physical culture, including
head balancing
Many participated in the enjoyable
dance that followed, and those who did
not remaiped to enjoy the brilliant scene.

success Of the affair was due, were as
