W. R. C. ENTERTAINMENT 
PROGRAM OF READINGS, SONGS AND 
Merry Farcs ENJoyeD 
By AUDIENCE. 
One of the largest crowds, which 
has attended an entertainment of the 
kind, enjoyed the program of songs 
and readings under the auspices of 
Allen Relief corps in Town hall, Man- 
chester on Wednesday evening. The 
entertainment, which was under the 
direction of Mrs. Jeffrey S. Reed, 
patriotic instructor of the corps, as- 
sisted by a large committee, was held 
for the benefit of the relief fund of 
the corps. One of the features of 
the program was a farce entitled “No 
Men Wanted,” in which the parts 
were taken by local people. 
The program opened with a selec- 
tion by the girls glee club of Story 
High school, “The Welcome Song.” 
A duet by Misses Dora Marshall and 
Claudia Wilson, ‘“‘Canzonetta,”’ from 
the Raymond overture by Thomas, 
was much appreciated. Mrs. Rebecca 
Andrews Lambert sang a _ pleasing 
solo, “Daybreak,” accompanied by 
Miss Dora Marshall. In response to 
an encore she sang “Spring.” She 
was warmly received at her every 
appearance. 
Mrs. Harriet Brewster Pragnell 
gave a reading, “Rosalind’s Surrend- 
er,’ which brought forth resounding 
applause. The reading dealt with the 
division of sympathy of a southern 
girl of northern parentage between 
the flags of the north and the south. 
Mrs. Pragnell displayed decided 
dramatic skill in the reading, which 
was emphasized by clever stage ef- 
fects. Another Glee club selection 
furnished a pleasing feature. A 
monolog by Mrs. Pragnell, “At the 
Matinee,” provided a bit of pleas- 
antry. For an encore she read a 
pretty little story in Italian dialect, 
“Rosa.” 
A solo by Mrs. Lambert, “Heaven 
hath shed a tear,” was enthusiastically 
received and she sang a little verse, 
“Philosophy,” for encore. Misses 
Marshall and Wilson played a march, 
“Autumn Days,” by Lindsay and 
were heartily applauded. 
A lively little farce entitled, “No 
‘Men Wanted,” was staged by Mrs. 
Nellie Smith, Miss Ethel Andrews 
and Winthrop Younger. Miss An- 
drews was “Elizabeth Rawley” and 
Mrs. Smith, “Isabel Granger.” Their 
parts were those of bachelor girls, 
who had foresworn all attentions 
from men. Mr. Younger was Pry- 
nella Abercrombie, their colored maid, 
and his interpretation of the character 
produced a good deal of laughter. 
Following the farce Mrs. Lambert 
led in the singing of the “Star

MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON INTERNAL 
CoMBUSTION ENcINES By 
ALFRED ROGERS. 
About 40 members of the Men’s 
Brotherhood of Manchester heard a 
talk on internal combustion engines 
in the vestry of the Baptist church by 
Alfred Rogers, chief engineer of the 
Manchester Water department oa 
Monday evening. Mr. Rogers gave 
pictures of gas engines used in vari- 
ous parts of the country for varying 
purposes. His first picture was of 
one of the engines used in the Gravel 
Pond station in Manchester, taken be- 
fore the-fire.. The. engine 4otmoy 
horsepower pumps 700 gallons a 
minute against a 280 feet head. An 
gas engine in the plant of the Blair 
Manufacturing Co. of Springfield 
runs the machinery of a three-story 
tactory on 71% cents a day, it is the 
boast of the owners. 
The engines for the high pressure 
svstem in New York City, located at 
Coney Island, were shown. They 
pump 4500 gallons a minute and de- 
velop a pressure of 150 pounds to the 
square inch. The pressure at a fire 
is so great that the stream from the 
nozzle will knock out wooden parti- 
tions. 
The gas engine power plant at 
Filene’s store in Boston, which Mr. 
Rogers installed, was shown. Many 
private and municipal power plants 
using internal coimbusion engines 
were shown. 
After the talk sandwiches and 
cocoa were served.
