Th chapel was filled Wednesday 
evening, when the farce, entitled 
‘‘Silence and Fun,’’ was given under 
the auspices of the Ladies’ Social 
circle. A. C. Needham wasthe leading 
character in the farce, and made a 
decided ‘‘hit.”” He had advertised 
for a wife, and the collection that 
came in response to the ad, was a 
queer ‘‘bunch,’’ indeed. The whole 
performance was given without a 
word being spoken, and reminds one 
of the old saying, that ‘‘actions 
speak louder than words.’’ There 
were also readings and several vocal 
selections. The affair was quite suc- 
cessful.

about.

The Y. M. C. A. boys of Man- 
chester are making a move in the di- 
rection, endeavoring to establish the 
foundation of a building fund for 
a Y. M. C. A. building, or something 
of the sort, im Manchester, which 
we understand they are doing. The 
coming minstrel show, by the way, 
is to be one of the snappiest little 
entertainments given in the Town 
hall, for some time, and is given for 
this —purpose. It appears to The 
Breeze that it is a just and broad- 
minded move, even though most of 
the boys will be grown to manhood, 
before the goal is finally reached, 
unless some philanthropic — citizen 
may see fit to develop the fund to 
larger proportions. But as to 
the show! The young men have been 
practicising for weeks, and they are 
prepared to give a pretty good en- 
tertainment. The tickets have been 
on sale the last week and are selling 
fast. They are 35 nd 50 cents, and 
all seats are reserved. We under- 
stand that so many tickets have been 
sold that they will be at a premium 
by the end of the week. They may be 
purchased at Decker’s. If you have 
not bought one, see to it at once. The 
show is on Monday evening, April 8,
