Christ, and the significance of the gifts they brought.
—The Coit Novelty Company gave a varied program in the
chapel Saturday evening, February 7th. Mr. Coit entertained
the audience with a line of jokes.
The reader, Miss Casterline, was extremely unfortunate in
having as her first selection "The Man Without a Country,"
which was given here by Mrs. Beecher just one week before.
The audience was not interested, and she could gain no power
over it. Lovers of violin music were gratified by the work of
Miss Alexander. One of the chief sources of amusement was
the imitation of various common sounds by Mr. McCormick.
He excelled in his imitation of a young chicken, which by
change of sound he seemed to shut up in a side room or in a,
hat.
The success of the evening was marred by the action of a
number of students in the gallery.
