The Library Entertainment.

Mrs. Delos Thompson and Mrs, Frank A. Ross are hard at work on their entertaidment for th e benefit of the Public Library. This has become an annua) event and one deserving the widest interest and patronage. It will be held at the Opera House on the evening of May 9th and will consist of a Minstrel performance and a Musical Comedy, introducing features that are entirely new. The corps of artists has received many valuable additions since last year and will offer the cream of all the latest music produced in New York"*lnd Chicago, the newest ideas in minstrelsy and some specialty work of high merit. The Directon of the Library contemplate a very necessary improvement this summer in the making of a card catalogue which the rapid growth of the Library renders imperative and which will increase its efficiency enormously. With this in view, the Librarian is now in Indianapolis taking a special course in classification and cataloguing in the State Library. Owing to the great need of money for this and other purposes, the management earnestly hope that the friends of the Library will give them their liberal support.
