Till! DEDICATION
or 1 1, Xew Town House anil Oiiera Hall
Au KvenlnK of (iood I relinu and In
teresting Fenlnres.
The remodelled "town house" had
its dedication Saturday, closely fullnw
iiij? tho program lis announced. The
doors were thrown open nt 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and despite the storm
citizens to tho number of oter 8,000, in
cluding ladioM and a good many out of
town visitors, took a look through the
rooms, whilo the First Regiment band
discoursed mush-. Gen. Kstey, Col.
Hooker and Dr. Holton, the building
committee, were on hand with assist
ants to show tho visitors round and
courteously answer inquiries. There
was a plenty of criticism, of course, on
the points that called for it, but the
general verdict about tho opera house
was "very pretty, " with wonder that
so good and pleasing an efl'ect could
havo been achieved vith the money at
command.
Tho formal dedicatory exercises
oponed in the opera house part at 8
o'clock in the evening, Gen. Kstey
presiding and the committee and the
selectmen occupying the stage. First
on the program was n recitation,
"Poor Dave Sloan' by Miss Kate M.
Fisher, followed by a declamation
Chauncey M. Depew's "Liberal Edu
cation" liv Kalph Stoddard, and a se
lection "Then Hush Theo" effectively
done by the quartette, consisting of
Mrs. F. U. Simpson. Miss Georgia una
Cook, Fred lirasor antl F. W. Crosby,
with Mrs. McLane at the piano. Then
Miss Alice Willard recited "Conimodus
tho Archer of Home," and while all
the recitations and dec luuuitions arc to
be warmly commended, as evidence of
tho work being done in Hrattleboro
schools, it is not too much to say that
in point of finish, fine conception and
strength and grace of delivery, this was
tho gem of the program. Robert V.
Clark of the West Villagu followed
with the declamation "Cuvour" and
Judgn H. II. Wheeler gave tho his
torical address which is published in
full in another column. The quartette
gave another selection "Tell Me" and
Miss Minnie I). Hrasor recited "Uncle
Most! Counting the r-ggs ' an amusing
thing.brightly and amusingly done and
winning enthusiastic applause, as it
deserved.
Then Gen. Kstey, as chairman of the
building committee, performed the
duty of turning over the keys to tho
selectmen, with a few remarks, allud
ing to the criticisms nf the work that
have been made and saying, in the
candid, manly way characteristic of
him, that many of them had been well
made and had been useful to the com
mittee, which had done its work as
faithfully, carefully and cheaply as it
could. They had been fortunate in the
contractors, of whom very little com
plaint had been made and who had
some few things to do yet to complete
the work; settlement had, not been
mado with them yet; and sprue things
wore necessary to be done ''Jiat were
not in the speculations : and the town
owo a debt of gratitude to II. R. Law
rence who had been more than a secro
tary to them, who "had been instead
of eyes" and whose services, volun
tary and without recompense, had been
invaluable, lie told about tho lire
escapes of which thero were plenty,
explained that the festival! hall was
nearlv tho same size as tno tloor of tne
old one and regarding the seating
capacity of the opera house said it was
,H1 on tho lirst lloor, -'.it) in tile Dal
cony, S'.'H in the gallery and "i2 in the
boxes, 874 in all, not so much as at
first calculated, but ample for all or
dinary purposes.
Dr. Webster, in a neat little speech
in response in behalf of the selectmen,
congratulated the committee on the
completion of its work, saying that
the selectmen, whoso authority was I
the same as the commit Ice's, had no
power to pass nn it, criticise or accept,
but they were not unmindful of the
great anxiety aud labor the committee
had undergone, or of its public spirit
ed sacrifice of time, or of the criticism
as well as praise that had come. Hu
recognized that there had been an
honest effort to do tho best in their
judgment, and that room, dedicated to
music and art, was a gem in design
and detail, and he indulged tho hope
that their action would be vindicated
bv the gratitude of the town and
would mark an important step in the
progress of Brattleboro.
And with tho singing of "America
the audience dispersed.
TUE SI.VfllNG 8KI LK.
One ol the Largest Choruses Kver
Brought Out Mere.
Vo Greato Singing Skulc, for which
so much time and labor was spent
came off Monday night and was tho
first paid entertainment to appear in
the new opera hall, which was crowded
to its utmost, many being obliged to
occupy standing room. The proceeds,
which were about 8250, went to the
benefit of the Boys Battalion, and was
a goodly sum considering the expense
which wan necessaryto make the enter
tainment tho success it was. "Dame
Plunkett, " Mrs. Mattoon of Spring
Held. Mass., and her pupils assisted
by Hon. Frederick Holbrook and L. W.
Ilawlcy aad a chorus and orchestra
numbering 12o "tolkes" comprised tho
entertainment. The singers were all
attired in "yo olden tyme" costumes
and made a pretty appearance on the
stage. Tho singing of tho chorus was
excellent, showing power and harmony
combined and proving that much time
had been spent in drilling. The duct
singing as well as that of the trios and
uuartottes was also commendable and
particular mention should be mado of
the duet of Messrs. Arthur W. Chi Ids
and Frank Hrasor who came in us old
soldiers and sang a pathetic little war
song very benutifully with a good
conception of tho part and a fine
blending of voices, W. T. liaigh as
drum major, Grandpa I'aul with his
ancient life, C. K. Sturgess with snare
drum and S. V. Knight bass. At tho
matinee Tuesday Mr. Knight handled
the snnro and r red Hrasor, "the coon.
the bass. The "cutting up"of "Julius
Caesar," F. S. Hrasor. and "Moses
Siinpkins. " Harry Kstey, kept the
audience in good humor throughout
tho entire evening. A choice thing
also, and regarded by ninny as the best
of the eve ning was the trio "Havo Vou
Seen My Flora," by Mrs. Simpson, Miss
Robinson and Mr. Carruthers. The
dot by Mi Mattoon and F. V. Cros
by, from ono of the operas, was also
fineiy rendered. K. L. l'arker, as of
"ye olden timc"gave tin imitation of
an old Windsor county singer who used
to entertain festivals in the Windsor
hall 40 (Mid years ago and it was done
.effectively. While other fine features
were the trio in "Strike the Cymbals"
by F. W. Crosby, Mrs Hubbard and
Frank Hrasor. " the Scotch Worldlye
song by F. W. Crosby und another
"Roaming in Foaming Billows" by E.
H. Miller. A sweet and pretty tiling
well done was tho violin selection by
Misses Abbic Lundberg and Alice But
terfield Mrs. Sherwin, Miss Stewart
aud Miss Jeannie Hall were the piano
accompanists and the orchestra consist
ed of 12 pieces. Diantha Samathn
Whitney (Mrs. Mixer) gave a "speak
ing piece" in an "Old Maid's Lecture"
which was first rate and Tuesday she
gave "Bad Boy." Tho program was re
peated Tuesday afternoon for the bene
fit of the school children who by the
large number present seemed to appre
ciate it. though this performance did
not go off as smoothly as the first, be
cause several of the leading actors were
absent for the funeral and other causes
and the orchestra was not full. After
the dropping of the curtain Monday
evening Mr. Day appeared and thanked
those who had taken part. It has been
suggested that the organization ought
to be kept up with weekly drills, and
give us another musical body like that
of the old chorral union prior to '81.
The members of the chorus were :

An "Off night" social will be held at the

The Ladies Can Afford to Feel Well.
The annual fair and festival of the
ladies of tho Univcrsalist church was
held in the remodelled town hall Wed
nesday evening and far surpassed in
the lino of beauty anything the Bociety
has ever done before. The chief at
traction of the evening and which
commanded unusual attention, was
the eloctrical center-piece in the
center of the hall which bad been de
signed and arranged by Frank Taft
and F. R. Vaughan, and which repie
sents $200, 8100 in lamps being on the
ball alone. The lower part of the cen
ter piece was used as a flower booth
above which was an illuminated tower
lighted by 30 incandescent lamps of 10
candle power. Above the whole was a
revolving ball with l.'ICdecorativo lamps
in white, ruby, green, blue and pur
ple upon its surface. The electric
power was obtained from a motor in
tho inside with an arrangement of an
automatic switch, which would shut
off the current for au instant making
it all tho more effective. The ladies
in charge of the flower booth were Mrs.
H. F. Brooks, Mrs. F. R. Vaughan
and Miss Amv Hi lies. The booths this
year were not heavily drapped as in
former years but were more like tables
where the articles for sale could bo
displayed to better advantage. The
first stand on the left side of the room
as ono entered the hall was the candy
table, which was iu charge of Misses
V'innio Klmer and Xan Houghton
and was mado of light green and white
with snow balls. Xext came the
"Bundle booth" which was very hand
some indeed, being pure white, pro
fusely decorated with clusters of purple
wistcriu aud in charge of Mrs. Flagg
aud her Sundav school class, lho
stago of the hall was used for two
"cosy corners"and was resplendent with
fur rugs, banquet tamps, palms etc.
At one of these, lemonade was dispensed
bv Mrs. Hcnrv Brown and Mrs. Walter
Hubbard and at the other chocolato
was served by Mrs. Frank Reed and
Mrs. Fred Reed. In the center of tho
platform an allegorical figure was ar
ranged representing "Undo Sam" and
bis horn of plenty. Dr- Geo. F. Bar
ber personated "Uncle Sam" and
from tho "horn of plenty" flowed
tho results of America's events for
the past one hundred years as follows:
financial ability, mills in operation,
no foreign complications, peace and
prosperity, good credit, good crops,
international and intercollegiate
games. t rappe " was served by Mrs.
Geo. F. Barber and Mrs. Chas. A.
Harris from a stand decorated with
candelabras and palms after which
came the fancy table in white and gold
presided over by Mrs. F. R. Durgin
and Miss Dora Mitchell. The crepe
pap?r booth made a pretty appearance
with its vines of morning glories
climbing over a lattice over bead and
Its pretty shades, boxes etc. made from
crepa piper. Mrs. rred swift, Mr.
i. 1J. wyatt, Mrs. w. 11. rniiupsnnu
Miss Mollie Austin were in charge
here. The pop corn car was a novelty
and represented a closed car in yellow
with ornamentations of strings of corn
and presented a very pretty sight. Mrs.
lr.;u. S. i'ratt, and Mrs. V.'. u. kod
bins were in charge with Herbert John
son to pop tho corn. The domestic table
with the ladies in colonial costumo was
presided over by Mrs. A. W. Rockwell,

ropes of laurel. Tho grab bag was in
charge of Mrs. May Edwards and Mrs.
