ST. AUGUSTINE’S LITERARY SOCIETY.

A very interesting program was rendered by the St. Augustine’s literary society Sunday evening, Aug. 23. Under the management of the able and energetic president, Mrs. Mary Drake, a melo drama in four jets entitled, “One Year,” was rendered very successfully after but four rehearsals. The drama was impersonated by some of the very best talent of the society, viz: Mr. Montague Trevors, not as young as he would like to be Mr. Charles Lane Maud Trevors, a true-hearted girl Miss Alice Drake Birdie Trevors, a gay butterfly Miss Frances Eigelsbach Bob Dashing ton, with more money than 1 brains .Mr. Arnold Luers Gerald Laurence, with more brains than money Mr. Jos. Smith James Lyman, a faithless friend. .Joe. Luers Mrs. Stone, a gushing widow. ....... Miss Prudence Mercer, a good soul, Birdie’s governess Miss Emma Lane' Brewster ( c "I Richard Beck Marie \ bervants l . Christena Hildebrand. The minor as well as the main parts of the drama drew the attention and the hearty applause of the audience. Daring the intervals between the five acts the audience was delightfully entertained by the mnsic rendered on piano and violin by Misses Mable and Eda Stricbfaden, by a pleasant recitation of Miss Dora Oasey and by a song well snog by the two little girls Lnoy Healy and Gladys Beam. About ten o’clock the audience left the school-ball well pleased with the two hours’ entertainment. The next program will be given September 13. Since these programs are instructive as well as amnsing, very conducive to good sound sociability and supplementary mental culture, they always enjoy a numerous audience. Last Sunday an audience of over twohundred people attended the program regardless of the fact that the evening was a very warm one.
