The annual 0bristinas entertainment
of Clinton Public School, came off in the
town hall on liVednesclay evening. To
say ,that it wag a big gatemen from firet to
last does not begin to deserihe it. The
hall was jammed fall, even the "gallery," ,
and people clung to the window sills and .
doer fremeb, and anywhere else it was
possible to get an inch of foothold, ,
Williams acted as manager; while the.
members of the trustee board and teachers
lent their assistance in carrying out the
programme. We cannot speteify the dif-
ferent features of the programme that
merited special menttone but there were
several that had involved infinite
amount of labor and practice theimpre-
paratiou, and the manner in svhich the
pupils performed their pests, reflected the
greatest credit on the teaehers,all of whom
had heartily coniperatdd in making the
entertainment the success it ayds, , • The
programme was certainly far ahead of
