Grand Opera lloiiho Filled to the Doors on Tuesday Evening Willi People Who Came to Witness the ltrillinnt Work of the Convent Scholars. The pupils of St. Ann's parochial schools gave their fifth annual enter tainment at the Is rand opera house on Tuesday evening before an audience which completely filled the building. It has become customary, at the close of each school term, for the talented young pupils of tho convent schools to give an entertainment the like of which is not seen at any other time of the year, nor equalled by any other than themselves. Their yearly exercises have become a feature among the amusements of the town, and are attended by more people than any other similar enterprise during the year. The church basement can no longer house the throngs, and the Grand opera house, the largest building in town, is taxed to its utmost to accom modate the attendents, and this for two nights. The high standard set by the first en tertainment, given five years ago in the church basement, has been fully main tained, and Tuesday evening's produc tion cannot help but add to the already great popularity of the pupils. The Sisters of Mercy, whoso patient and laborious work was so brilliantly re flected by their pupils, cannot he ac corded too much praise for the success of tho exercises, for fyom the standpoint of one in the audience tiie character of their work was made evident and was proven to he admirable. To analyze each number on tho pro gramme for the purpose of showing wherein it was pleasing, would be un necessary, as the conclusion would be the same in every case, and may he ex pressed by the simple word "good." From the moment the grand opening chorus, "Magnificat," was sung in Latin by all the pupils, each succeeding num ber was greeted with constantly increas ing interest. Among tho most attractive features of the programme, because of being parti pated in by the largest numbers, and in which tho costumes were beautiful, were the "Clowns' Fantasy," "Gossips' Pan tomime," "Calisthenics," "Scarf Dance," "Japanese Salute" and "The Peri." The recitations and musical selections were well chosen and admirably render ed. Tho hoys' comedy sketch was im mensely pleasing. The exorcises will he repeated this evening, beginning at 8 o'clock.

While one of the large brown stones was being hoisted to its position, over tho north side window of the main entrance, it split in two and fell to tho ground.
