| THE BUILDING OF THE SHIP. This very
pleasing cantata was given in the Belfast
| Opera House Feb. "a, for the benefit of the
High school. The text is from Longfellow's
poem, practically verbatim, and the music
by Henry Lahee. The solo parts were
taken by Mrs. E. P. Frost, soprano; Emery
F. White, tenor and Hal R. Eaton, baritone.
| The chorus was by the High School, 100
voices. Rigby's orchestra, with NJ. NJ.
Brown leader and Mrs. Hal R. Eaton
pianist. furnished the music. Mrs E. S.
| Pitcher was to have sung the coutr alto
solos, but on account of her fathers death
| Mr.. Eaton was substituted. Several of the
| solo parts were encOred, and were sung in
| fine voice and expression. The entire stage
was filled with teraced seats occupied by
the school, most of the girls in white, and
presented pleasing appearance. The
chorus was drilled by Mr. E. S. Pitcher, and
all did credit to themselves and their in
| structor. The Belfast High school may
| well be proud of their successful presenta-
| ton of such cantata, and it is a fair
| illustration of the faithful work of Mrs. E.
S. Pitcher, the music teacher
THE MANUFACTURES OF c LOTHING. That
this once extensive business has not alto
gether left our State is evidenced by the
fact that Mrs. Will Gates of this city re-
Gently contracted with the Peerless Cloth
ing Company of Boston to manuf acture
500 fancy vests per week from now until
July LIST. These vests are white, cOlored
and fancy silks. July 1st the same firm
will begin shipping Mrs. Gates fancy smok-
ing coats, house jackets and bath robes.
Mrs. Gates has begun work at her shop, 146
High street, but as she has not facilities for
making so many there she has decided to
have the vests all made in the country and
finish them in the shop, and this will give
employment to large number outside. No
woman need be idle, as Mrs. Gates can fur
nish work the year around. The Peerless
/ Clothing Co. is noted for being among the
first to come to the front with all the new
fads in mems and boys clothing, and every
garment is cut in the latest style, superbly
tailored and made of thoroughly depend
able materials. They require the best
workmanship, and a member Of the firm
who was here last month was loud in praise
of the work done by Mrs. Gates, and her
friends are congratulating her on her sue
cess.
