Last Wednesday evening the grounds
of Judge II. G. Cleveland were Hastily dec
decorated with evergreens and red and
white bunting and illuminat ted
with Japanese lanterns, making the
prettiest picture one could imagine,
the occasion being garden party''
under the auspices of the Y. P. S. c. E.,
which drew out over a hundred people,
young and old, to enjoy the evening.
Those present from out of town were Prof.
c. F. Hall from Nashua, N. H, DR.. P. G.
Templeton of Irasburgh, Miss Lillian
Lothrop of Barton Landing, Miss Angeline
Fullington of johnson, Miss Emma Pear
son of Keene, N. H, Miss Marion Grew of

decorated veranda, consisting of a song by
Kate Williams accompanied by Prof. Hall
on the guitar, recitation by Miss Mabel
Ware, duet on the banjo and guitar by
Prof. Hall and Miss Lothrop, which re-
ce1ved an encore. A motion song by Ruth
Pearson came next and was heartily ap-
plauded. Prof. Hall delighted the COM
pany by finely rendered piano solo. Miss
Lothrop sang in her usual pleasing man
ner and responded to an encore, and this
was followed by a recitation by Miss Mar
ion Grey. The Coventry band played sew
eral selections very acceptably. We feel
quite proud of 'our boys" in the progress
they are making. Dainty refreshments
were served, consisting of cake, ice-cream
and lemonade, during which Judge Cleve-
land played several selections upon his
photograph, which made the sstete-a-tete'
among the bowers quite enjoyable. The
moon shone brightly and the evening was
perfectly suited to the occasion and was
one long to be remembered by those who
participated in the festivities.
