 work to ^ret the large trees and otlni 

 parajiliernalia to the hall, it was a still 

 laroci- task to ^et excrytliino in sh;ipc 

 and jilace in the short time t>i' two and 

 one half days .and two nights. Ilei.'

 s\steinatic way, thus savino ;in enor- 

 inons lot of time ;ind e.xtra I'Xpcnse. 



The setting of the show included an 

 artistic grouji of piiu's, from the mi<lsi 

 "f which hurst the waterfall, which 

 was as true to nature as any one could 

 desire and was one of the most ad 

 mired jioints in the show. The riyht 

 side of the stage re|ireseided u hill 

 side wooded with piiu' trees, and in 

 front of this were two tall oak trees 

 covered with wild sinilax almost to th<^ 

 coiling. Farther back several bircdies, 

 with their light bark, and two magno- 

 lia trees, green with foliage, helped to 

 oive the hall the desired ell'ect. 



Winding throughout was the brook, 



s|)a lined by five rustic bridges and 

 edged with sod. and an apple tree, 

 wlii(di was leaved with wild smilax and 

 had a beautiful chrysanthemuni grouj) 

 arouiid its liase. .also c.ame in for a 

 share of the favorable comment. 

 Sen-en t.'ildes set with dinner deenra 

 tiniis. lint not for enmpet it ion, were 

 placed in various loc-itimis under the 

 trees and on the sod, and yave the im 

 pressiori of a fashionable l.awn part v.
