 E. P. Tully, piano solos; W. P. Lynch, 

 barytone solos; Leon Jarvis, violin selec- 

 tion; W. E. Washburton, tenor solos; 

 Thomas Appleton, bass solos; Philip 

 Smith and Alexander Macrae, banjo

 of the evening a Dutch supper was 

 served, to which all did full justice.

 the decorations for the Sturges coming

 a painful felon on his right hand.

 ral ^favorites- at present,
