Tliuiil’s
Birthday

Party Given by ladies of
illeParisIl last Night Netted
$I85—Rev. E. W. Norris.
of ”bruukiyn, heard in Rec-
itations—-— Musical Selec-
tions Added in the Even-
lng's Pleasures.

The ladies comprising the Entertain-
nient Chapter of Trinity Episcopal
fhurch have ample cause to feel proud

oday over their niaguificent success of
last evening. Not only was the splen-
did sum of $135 raised to be applied to
the organ fund, as the result of the an-
nual birthday party of the church. but
one of the pleasantest social events cv-
er given by the church was recorded.
last evening.

The party was held in the Sunday
school room, about two hundred per-
sons being present. and filling every
seat in the room. The only regretta-
ble feature of the entire affair was the
necessary absence of Mrs. Frederic W.
Norris, who was detained In Brooklyn.
by illness. Mr. Norris came. however,
and the much disappointed audience
was partially appeal-led. forgetting. dur-
ing his readings and funny stories. that
his accomplished wife was absent. Mr
Norris received a royal welcome. at the
hands of his old parishioners, and ex-
pressed his great pleasure many times
during the eVenlng. at being able to be
present. '

The entertainment opened with sel-
ections on the graphophone. Charles
E. Clapham. the owner, kindly loaning
the instrument and operating it him-
self. The 'phone is one of the finest in
town. and the records were excellent.
eliciting vigorous applause at the close
of each jnumber. The selections in-
cluded up-to-date songs. instrumental
pieces and humorous dialogues,

the time, the audience being kept in;

roars of laughter.
