This novel entertainment gotten up by the ladies of St. Paul's Lutheran Church was continued with unabat ed interest at the City Hall last night.

Dingelhoef, and was presented to the victor by Misses Kate Vollers and Augusta Lessman, with a few graceful ami appropriate remarks by the latter young lady. Mr. Holmes teplied in a felicitous manner. The scenes last night were varied to some extent from those of the pre ceding night, but no feature of gen uine attractivness Aras omitted. The tables were iust as attractive, the young men were just as gallant, and the ladies were jnst as charming, and the enjoyment was innocent and delightful. v -.'
