The Broomell-Reed recital giv-1 en at Sanders Hall last Monday evening under the auspices of the ! Smithfield Lyceum Club was j quite as good in its way as the ' entertainment given by the Old Homestead Quartette on October 19th. Miss Reed's performances on the harp were characterized by the utmost grace and skill. Ail j the harp numbers were much en joyed,the Serenade by Moszkow ski being perhaps the mostcharm ing. Miss Reed's singing, accom-1 panied by herself on the harp,; was also of a high order and was very much enjoyed. Of Miss Broomell it is hard to speak. She j is a past-mistress of the art of j portraying tne cnua cnaracter. < One might believe that she has i never lost a single year of her own childhood but has kept them all in reserve and is thus able to be, rather than act, the child of any age at will. Two of Miss Broomell's numbers, "Eating the Buckwheat Cakes" and "The Last Day of School," are of her own composition and were especially good. "Diddie, Dumps and Tot" and "Mr Johnsing at the Sanatarium" were also very mirth provoking. The next entertainment to be given by the Lyceum Club will be after Christmas and will probab lv be presented in our new City Hall.
