The third evening of the Kirmess is
past. It would take tbe pen of a Hugo
to picture to the mind the wonderful
magnificence of human ingenuity and
nature's beautiful work which was pre
sented on the stage last night.
It was Newbern's night, and" many
visitors from the Athecs of North Caro
lina were present.
At half-past eight the curtain was
rung - up on a scene of . beauty
and ,; loveliness that will long be
remembered. The Qaeen cf the JCir
mess, Mrs. Andrew J. Harriss, sur
rounded by her subjects of all nations,
from tbe Grecian maiden to the Amer
ican Indian, descended from her throne
and then began a march in which Wil
mington's fairest daughters aod most
gallant sons, In the guise of Ezyptian
dancing girls, Greek maids, courteous
frenchmen, ingenious Japanese, ' etc.,
all participated.-. Around' the beautiful
Columbia" (Mrs. S. H. Fishbiate), stand
ing in the rear on a high pedestal of
white, they marched, down to the front
once more, and then grouping grace
fully formed a tableau, in . which
every nation had" representation. A
crash from the orchestra recalled to the
audience that the first part was over,
and but the curtain once more moved
up disclosing "Tne Celebration of 4he
Waf-am-Neul." or the Oveiflow of the
Nile, and then advanced ten lady Nile
worshippers, who, as sooa as tbe low
plaintive music reached their ears,
sayed forward and thea backwardjkeep
ing time to the biautitul strnins. Then
came in sight eleven little girl Sphinx
Worshippers, who joined in the enchant
ing dance. As they drew closer to
gether and as the rays of the ca.cium
light- flooded . the stage, the danceis
formed a series of enchanting tableaux
at the close of which the curtain de
scended, while the Opera House rang
with the applause of those present. -
Next followed in quick succession
dance after dance, which pleased the
mind, delighted the eye and exercised
the hands (ipplause). About thirty
little Japanese Court dancers scam
pered around, but never out of time
with the music, and much to tbe enjoy
ment of those present.
The second edition of the Court
dance "Satsuma Shinto" was . then
given.. Seven Japanese ladies, accom
panied by an escort, participated in this
most peculiar but bewitching dance,
while the old '. Mikado (Mr. W. F.
Robertson), and the charming Empress
(Mrs. E. P. Boatwrigbt) stood in the
back-ground.
Sixteen of the little folks then appear
ed on the stage and gracefully skipped
around the May Pole, twining the blue
and pink ribbons one with the other.
This dance soon gave way to the Gipsy
Tambourine dance by twelve dark
maidens, led by thiir Qaeen, (Miss An
nie Btonot DiRoiset), Much &plau3e
was bes.owtd pa this dance, and justly
80. ,,w -.;
As this dance faded from view, six
teen young ladies and gentlemen appear
ed and executed the fascinating ' Swed
ish Christmas Eve Festival Dance,"
most charmingly.
With a rattle, of castanets the
"Spanish Wedding Dance" came on,
with twelve ladies and gentlemen in the
cast, who moved In the different figures
of the dance in a charming manner a&d
with perfect ease.
The inevitable "can't be helped" the
end was drawing near and tbe Gretk
proctssion was formed, and moved with
the handsome Diana (Mrs. Hugh Mc
Rae) m the centre. Twelve stately
young ladies then came forward and
gave the enchanting dance of the Greek
Cymoal Dancers, which ended) with a
magnificent tableau. The curtain was
then rung down for the last time on the
evening's performance.
' Alter the Kirmess, all who were in
want of refreshments repaired to the
Kirmess Inn, where everything was
served at very low prices.
- That busy man, in costume, behind
the scenes last nighty who was here
and there, and then everywhere, was
Mr. Macdonnel, who skillfully and per
sistency trained the dancers for this
event. :'" .V. -' 7 ' .- -' -

A simple, but none the less beautiful
and impressive wedding was that-pf Mr.

Hereafter advertisements to go in our
Business Locals" department
charged one cent per word for each in
sertion ; but no advertisement. However
short, will be taken for less than 20 cents
This is a reduction from former rates
and it is also a convenience to adver
tisers who ean calculate the exact cost
ot their advertisements, -which must be
paid for always in advance.
