extended across the front and on both sides of

duced very pleasing effect.

Patrons of the Belfast Opera House are find
ing the newly organized B. o. H. orchestra a
most enjoyable part of the performance and it
has become great drawing card. Mrs Clyde
Pettee is the pianist and leader, and with such
musicians as ]. Lee Patterson, John Parker,
Clyde Pettee, E. B. Simpson, George Hart,
and Ross Hammons, it is an aggregation of
local players that it is hard to beat They are
playing popular airs, light opera, and now and
then some heavier stuff, all of which is greatly
appreciated by the patrons of the House.
B. H. S. ENTERTAINMENT Remember the
exhibit of mounted photographs to be held in
Memorial Hall on Friday and Saturday, No
vember 4th and 5th, under the auspices of the
| Belfast High school. The doors will be open
from two till FIVE and from seven till nine
each day. Come in several times. You won't
wish to look at all the pictures at once; neither
will you wish to miss any of them for they
| represent the very finest in the world of art
Every picture is clearly marked as to name
and artist, and many are provided with short
descriptive sketches. The object of the exhibit
is to raise money wherewith to buy pictures
for the school.
The remark is sometimes made that it takes
longer to distribute th e mail than formerly. 1t
does, and there is good reason Tor it. The
mails are larger and the work has been other
wise increased with no addition to the working
force. There are now six R. f. D. routes start
ing from the Belfast post office and each one
calls for the handling of mail that formerly
came tied up in bundles for the different towns
and had only to be dropped into the bags.
There has been no increase in the office force
since these R. F. D. routes We're established
and the janitor is pressed into service in sort
ing the mail, although it is out of his line of
duty. There certainly appears to be need for
another clerk.

The CAROLYN BELCHER CONCERT. The first
entertainment in the Improvement Society
course, a concert by the Carolyn Belcher String
Quartet, took place in the Opera House, Thurs
day evening, October 18th. The program was
given with precision and great delicacy of ex-
preston, showing true musical spirit and
much sympathy on the part of the young
women. OF the quartet numbers perhaps one
of Mendelssohn's Song without Words, the
"Folksongs' in the same group and the Tschai
konsky number were most enjoyed by the au-
dience. Miss Belcher's violin solo grace
fully played and Miss Whites cello number
was given with muca briliancy and freedom of
tone. Both young women responded to en-
cores, and many of the quartet selections were
enthusiastically received and encores given.
Taken as a whole, the concert was most artistic
and very pleasingly began the series of enter
tainments planned by the Improvement Society.
The stage was effectively decorated with large
screens, vases of greens and sprays of autumn
leaves. The next attraction will be by Phi
delah Rice, humorist, who comes November
18th. He came here in last winters course and
was a decided hit in his impersonation of
David Garrick.
