Unique and Pleasing Enter-
aihment at Doherty's Opera
House   on   Tuesday
Evening,
"re Business Men   well  Adver-
by   Beautiful   Ladies   in
Elegant and Appropriate
Costumes.
^ few Weeks ago the ladies of the Cou-
l^ptfiomil phurcb conceived the idea of
presenting to our people what, has be-
q known 119 '•The Business .Men's
nival." The purpose, of course, was
gure .funds for the church, with the
<re to please the people and place be-
them hx entertainment both pleasing
instructive. Tbat everybody, both
who witnessed tbe entertainment
|tbose wbo participated, wore pleased
lelighted. there h no doubt,
0 carnival was hold in Dnlii'it.vV
opera bouse ou Tuesday evening,
with the exception ot that place reed for tho parquet circle, every nook
I'll turner, including tim rear elevation,
Olf|Uglhc sides, tlie gallery ami tbo stage
v&p crowded with people anxiously
wiring die program sn jt was being
ruddered.
'*pts ilrst ou tire program was a song,
b^tmrlime girls, ciitlrl'-il '-The K. of
PsJ)i>i(i;' it was semi-original, quite
comical and as they spoke tbe names of
facial members of that organization in
L'iniiiectlott With eome ri Ueiibius phra*o
aughter echoed through the
t:»Kv The K. of P. band occupied th»
ifctif tho stage and rendered four 01
i.ph'ec.s of sweet tuu.ie in their usual
lift? «|ls at.intervals during the evening.
jStJ-n-st was the grand inarch, partiei-
pitftitMii by about C!> ladies und young
gi(fe, representing us many firms am1,
burners places. Each \va« appropriate!/
aufft.*.?tily dressed and fboeilcct was ex-

egrets the fact that It has not time  nor
flft-A\* ibis week to mention   each   repio
tentative separately ami give tlio d»-ciip-j
tion in full. !
Nest came music bv tho band, whicli
was followed by a boantilul wing entitled "Conn- Win ro the Lilies Bloom,"
sang j\- tour voice*. Next wa-. .select
Haling, entitled "Our Pastor," by C. II.
Sutherland, interspersed by the breaking
of i^,oat, causing shrill screams from
sevent ladies in tho vicinity and loud
laitgiter from the assembled audience.
Tie baud struck up a lively tunc, when
in tiarcbed sixteen beautiful young
ladies lu pretty costumes and executed
an Uiique and pleasing military drill under command of Mr. John Giberson.
Theii* formation of lines, by twos and
foun, their inarching by right and left
flank, their wheelings and their formation of Greek, Latin and Maltese crosses
amltnany other Hue military movements,
were so perfectly done tliat tbey were
constantly greeted with storms of applause, and gives evidence ol no small
amount of patient practice. To these
young ladies and especially Mr. Giber-j
son is due 110 small amount of prul.-e.
Oiir'-JIouie Guards" of the V. K. K. P.
could gain many line point* by watching
tlicse young ladks in drill, wbo have
gained a much greater degree of proficiency in a few short weeks than thev
hy tedious months of imperfect practice.
To do justice to such au entertainment
under any circumstances is no simple
task. "We, have only given a brief outline, and would like to bave done, belter
hMl time permitted. Every one did
well, and we bave beard many merchants
speak in the highest terms of tbe way the
ladles represented their business and we
are sure tbey baye a high appreciation
of it.
The total receipts were a trllle over
§93; the expenses were in the neighborhood of .$13; leaving the net proceeds
about SSO. Thus the ladies of tbe Congregational church have added a
sum to tbe amount already iu
treasury.
