is SUFFICIENT to say that a delightful
evening was spent. About 200 peo-

seated, while Miss Burns orchestra
played some good selections, they
were most delightfully."- entertained
by Fred Kendall of Boston, who
told stories and recited poems, sang
several selections in a fine baritone
voice, and was charming in all his
parts. Not always humorous, he has
an inimitable way of telling a story
or impersonating a character, that is
so easy and natural, without exag-
geration or stage mannerisms. Miss
Burns had a violinist and her broth
er, Frank Burns, from Newport and
was assisted by Heman Burpee and
Harley Johnson of this place. At
