The programme is lively and interest
ing 1t consists of a drama entitled
THE Talisman,' a cantata, strange WIS.,
itors, dumb bell drill, a trial scene in
the Merchant of Venice, and pan
tomine.
Considering the tender ages of the
children it is indeed remarkable what
q degree of proficiency the Sisters OF
mercy of this orphanage have sue
ceeded in instilling into them. They
have spared no pains in trying 10
bring out and develop the talents and
gifts of the children. This is manifest
from the drama, 1.-The Talisman,
quite a heavy play even for grown stu
dents, yet the children make 1t de-
lightfully entertaining, both In point
of deliberation and expression.
The dumb bell drill shows an eXer-
else in physical culture. In the pan
tomine sixteen little boys depict the
healthy moral sentiments of the hymn
Nearer Ny God to Thee" This eXer-
else will be accompanied by piano,
flute and violin.< During the evening
Mr.. G.. Spiers, a singularly gifted SEM
marian, will give the trial scene of the
Merchant of Venice with the ability OF
a master.
After the exercises of the evening
gold medals and premiums will be
awarded to the successful pupils or
the past school year.
1t is to be hoped the public will
generally patronize this entertainment
to be given for the benefit of the or
phanage, as the little struggling insti-
tuition has been open to children of all
denomination without exception.
Tickets will be on sale at Dughi's
store at rs cents each.
