novel, beautiful aud IN some cases
intensely amusing. There was SO
great variety in excellence that any
attempt to single out the best would
be futile.

every number was something new and
pleasing. 1.-The Electric Girl" was a
beautiful representation arranged by
the Condor Light & Power Co. and
carried out by Miss Helen Willis.

Umphlette brought down the house
as we'll as the bird at which she
aimed. The Delsarte drill by "a
little girls was carried out with re-
markable perfection. Painless Deu.
tistry" by Miss Frances johnson and
Mrs. Hebert Sampson was excrutiat-
ingly amusing aud the shrek of the
victim was something to be remem-
bered forever. Miss Umphletts 8
violin solo was greatly enjoyed. The
" Electric Swing Song" was number
beautiful to eye and ear aud was
given by Mrs. Richardson. 'The
