In spite of the necessity of changing the place of holding the entertainment of last Friday evening, the only failure was on the part of the audience. About one-fourth of the usual number were present. Too tnuch can hardly be said in praise of the teacher and claes who so bravely and def tly adapted themselves to the unfortunate circumstances and made the entertainment excelle nt in spite of these hindrances. The little girls had their parts beautifully prepared, but the poor lighting of the stage detracted much from the pretty commedietta. Tha Bell Drill was a perfect success, and those taking part being taller, the audience had a better view of the performance. The violin solo, by Miss Rose Prench, won welldeserved applause, and Mrs. Leland's 3inging was a pleasure to all who heard. We regret that Mrs. Leiand is to leave Ann Arbor, and that we cannot again have an opportunity of listening to her. The flrst recitation, by Miss McKinnon, brought her many compliments, and little Lou Smith, of the Ypsilanti class, was very amusing in her rendition of "Graudpa's Spectacles." The financial reeult of the entertainment was certainly a great disappointment to all concerned, but it was entirely owing to circumstances which could not be foreseen nor avoided. It is the first entertainment givon by these classes at which there has not been a large audience. The thanks of the Association are due to the young men who so kindly assisted in the extra work made necessary by the chang-e, and who were ready not only with encouragement and cheery words, but also with sacrifice of time and uven comfort, to help the girls out. The meeting last Sunday was an "Echo meeting" for the special benefit of those who did not hear MissTaylOr's addrees two weeks.
