 Fun in a Boarding House." mu- sical sketch by Leo Curley, principal of the Walsh school, is making big hit at the Colonial theater in New York this week. Pat Rooney and Miss Marion Bent are enacting the playlet, which gives them much op- portunity to display their ability. The Morning Telegraph In reviewing the bill said the number was one of the | best on the programme, and not only spoke well of Rooney's work but also praised MT Curley for the skit itself. The Taft Marching club held a | banquet at Hotel Connecticut last night, about eighty being in attend ance. Benjamin J. Grist acted as toastmaster. Addresses were deliv- cred by Senator Chase, U. G. Church, M. J. Byrne, R. N. Blakeslee, Dr | Goodenough, W. M. Gillette, Robert Dennison and others.

Large crowds continue to patron ize St Cecilla's parish fair where an excellent programme is rendered every evening. Last night the pro gramme was furnished by the St Cecilia Singing society, the Bergman troupe in acrobatics, Malley and Mur- phy in buck and wing dances, follow ed by dancing music for which was furnished by the St Cecilia orchestra. Perhaps this evening will be the i'm portant night of the fair as it is the sixteenth anniversary of the parish. The event was marked last year by the publication of a history of' the parish, by the pastor, Rev Farrel Martin, D. D. Sixteen years ago to- morrow the first parish mass of St Cecilia's was celebrated in the hall of the Convent of Notre Dame Since that time the parish has had very successful career, the church rector. and hall erected within brief period being monuments to the zeal of the pastor and people. No doubt many will want to drop in from now until the close of the fair and congratulate Dr Martin and his parishoners for the progress they have made during the past few years.
