The performance given by the

the school library. It was the best
entertainment of the kind we have
ever seen. 1 he music was origin
and catchy, the costumes pretty, the

and singing excellent in every way.

able performance. Large audiences
were present each time.
The Cuban X Giants Defaated
Tuesday afternoon's base ball came.
between the celebrated Cuban X
Giants and the Normal School, was
about the best exhibition of the na
tional sport that has been seen here
in many moons. The result was
quite a surprise, because few people
expected the Normal to win. The
credit for the victory belongs largely
to pitcher Williams. He outpointed
his colored opponent in the box, and
contributed to the runs-getting by
smashing a beautiful two-biser the
first time at the bat. The audience
was the largest of the season. Score
by innings :
