their lives last night at the Governor

of their little friends from the northern
end of the city to meet the little South
siders. Altogether there were over 1GO
children making merry, and making the
mansion to ring again with their laughter
and their chatter so free and fresh. A
number of children of larger growth
were on hand, and they seemed to be hav-
ing nearly as much fun as the smaller
ones.
The first thing on the program was an
Hour of Parlor Magic by Mr.. A. T. Bow
On. 1t was splendid sleight of hand eX-
hihition.
Then Miss Nina Cooper sang two coon
songs with accompaniment by Miss Alice
Aycock. This number was delightful, and
was especially enjoyed.
Next little Miss Lula Cooper, sister of
Miss Nina, recited and made a great hit.
Col Olds told story or two in his
inimitahle way, and made the children
laugh and laugh again.
Mr.. ]. p. Hayes showed some splendid
stereoptcan views, a series of Spanish
war nictures, and My Old Kentucky
Home, illustrated. While the latter pic
lures were being shown, Mr.. J. A. Edger-
ton played the air on the cOrnet behind the
curtain. It was simply lovely, everybody
said
Then Miss Nina Cooper sang Rock of
Ages, accompanied by Mr.. Edgerton on
the cornet, and illustrated by Mr.. Hayes
stereoptican pictures. The combination
was perfect.
After this came lot of funny pictures,
and more laughter and merriment.
Ply special invitation of Mrs. Aycock,
the children had a view of the master
pieces of the picture exhibit now at the
mansion Finally delightful refreshments
were served, and a lot of happy children
went home to bed and to dream it all over
again.

ure provided for them this winter in 4
course of lectures arranged by the prin-

None has been enjoyed more than the

tainly timely and one upon which our
public speakers would do well to touch
upon oftener.
The well-chosen and forcible language
in which the eloquent gentleman described
the scenery, products, and resources OF
the State impressed and pleased both
young and old.
DR.. IYey proved that the royal tribute
he paid to the womanhood OF the State
was a deserved, but, hitherto, with
held compliment The recital of almost
forgotten historical "reminiscences awak-
ened patriotism that 1t is, sometimes,
good to leel.
The frequent applause that interrupted
the speaker and that followed his delight
full talk testified to the pride in the
glory, and the love for the Oh North
