THAT HOSPITAL AMBULANCE BENEFIT.
-—Never in all the charitable undertakings
in the history of Bellefonte bas one met
with such good euccess as the entertain
ment given on Friday evening of last week
for she Bellefonte hospital ambulance bene:
fis. And the entire credit is dne to Mrs.
John N. Lane for having conceived the pro-
ject and worked and managed is to such a
successful issue. The very fact that the net
sum of $410.73 was realized tells wore
plainly than a colamn story would of the
labor and planning that muss have heen
done to clear that amount.
Mrs. Lave not only interested the doo-
tors and the people of Bellefonte in her
undertaking bus went into sarroudding

active part in the work with the result
that huodreds of tickets were sold and
quite a number of voluntary cash donations
were wade. To be more explicit the cash

from the tickets sold were $333 85 ; from
the candy sold during the entertainment
$25 00 were realized while the programs
and chewing gum sales nested $12.39, ora
total of $454.13. The expeuses were just
$43.40, leaving a vet balauce of $410.73
Mis. Lane's work, however, was not de-
voted entirely to making the entertain-
ment a financial success but was also di-
rected in giving those who attended (full
value for their money. Aod they all got
is, too. The opera house was crowded,
with standing room ata premium, and
from the rise of the certain on the all-star
group of Pharsoniave from State Coliege
until the close there was not adall mo-
ment, and every person who took a part in
the entertainment played it like a profes-
sional. Ordinarily we would particalarize
on the merits of the different performers
but as they were all so good and Mrs. Lane,
through the columos of the WATCHMAN,
personally wishes io thank each individual
who so ably contributed their part to mak-
ing the entertainment a success, we here:
with append her pote :
Words fail me in trying to express my grati®

out on account of the stage setting; to the
ticket committee, Mrs, Daggett, Mrs, Sheldon,
