children showed they bad been we'll

louder than the other. and all 81 t6e
seic.s were in unison. II was a very
pleasing feature of the evening" pro-
gram.
Following the song by the Junior
81. Cecilia Guild there was play by
amateurs, one-act comedy-dTama
entitled Tine Marble Arch. - The cast
included Miss Mary FoxIey Tilgbman.
daughter Of Col. oswald Tilgbman,
Secretary Of state, aud Alrs. Tilgb-
man, Miss Mary Randall. daughter Of
the Hon. j. Writ and Mrs. Randall
Prof. II. G.. WashburD, Instructor AT
the Naval Academy and 1t. Long.
The plot told the story Of young
wife, Mrs. Alercweatber, very much
IN love with her husband her friend,
charming widow who writes note
to meet Mrs. MereweatbeT's husband
under the Marble Arch n friend Of
the husband, Captain Trenholm,
who meets the widow instead Of her
friends husband. Several humorous
complications are natural but Judi
crons. The wife becomes jealous, the
husband IS misunderstood the bus-
bands friend falls in love with the
widow, aud explanations between
young Mrs. and Mr. MereweatheT are
satisfactory. All ends happily for the
participants in the play and the audi
ence Is entertained and amused.
Miss Tilghman, who was a stranger
10 an Annapolis audience, did remark
ably well, as this was her first appear
ance I'm amateur tbeatrjcais. She WAS
easy, natural and not by any means
STACEY. Indeed her audience thought
her clever little actress and sine de-
servediy won much praise. Miss
Randall, who is not stranger to an
Annapolis audience, but who bither-
to has awIays taken old ladies parts,
was seen to advantage in new role,
that Of a young, dasbing widow.
Miss Randall acted the part 50 clcyerly
that she demonstrated her versatility
as an amateur actress. Both the gen.
tIemen did well and merit more than
passing notice, which time and
space forbid at this writing.
The play was followed by a caDtata
sung by the It. Cecilia Guild lSeniorJ
OF which Mrs. J.. Dorsey Gassaway is
president. The cantata was entitled
Night" by the well-kBown COM
poser, st. Sacns, and was beautifully
sung. Miss Wales, the soloist, has a
sweet soprano voice. we'll trained and
under perfect control. Her high notes
rang out with clearDegs that was bell
like in its sweetness, aud she sang
with much credit to herself and TO the
OCCASION. The caBtata closed a very
delightful evenings program.
salad supper was served in the lower
room and ices and cake in the hall
above. There was an auction. Of all
the Ieft-oyers, DT. Fell and Mr.. j..
ID. Gassaway acting in the capacity Of
auctioneers. The bazaar closed after \
most successful three nights sale.
Last night $50 was taken in at the door,
but the receipts for the three nights
cannot be estimated at this time, as
there are number Of items OF expense.
The ladies who worked for the
bazar feel indebted TO the Naval
Academy and the ships there for the
kindly loan Of flags, and the services
of the seamen who helped TO deco
rate the Assembly Rooms and to
make the ball 50 attractive. In all
details fbe bazar was thorough sue
cess.
