to give each who took part the mention
he or she dcHerveN. The cake walk by
nix couples of hoyt and girls apeared
to be the oioat interesting feature of the
performance, and wan thoroughly en
Joyed. The judges awarded the rake on
jenuine cake-walk merit, as they recog
nized it, and as they were requested to
do by the committee, and their only re
gret was that there were not six cakes
iutitead of one. Master Sam McKeeand
Miss (ienie Snclling took the cake.
Little Newt Woodcock and bis charm
ing little partner Mamie Ilerndoii were
very cute and more dopuhir with the
crowd, mo much no, in fact, that the
next day the littles ones were presented
with a large handsome cake by their ad
mirers. They were all very graceful
and charming, and I'rof. Smith deserves
great credit for the manner in which be
tiained the little dancers. After the
performance quite a numla-r remained
ill the hull and danced to phonograph
music.
The committee of ladies having the
entertainment in charge are thankful to
the public for the generous support
given. The net proceeds amounted to
