ST. ANDREW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL CAMBRIDGE.

An entertainment in aid of the above school was ghen in the Oddfellows' Hall, Cambridge, on Wednesday evening, when the teachers, scholars and a number of their friends furnished a " programme that should have suited the most fastidious The first part consisted of the phy " Cinderella," in which the characters were all represented by members of the fair sex, ranging from good sized girls to little dots of tender years, but they all took their parts splendidly, which reflects great credit upon their instructor, who we are told was Mrs Dickinson. The following is a list of the characters and those who portrayed them : Cinderella, Stella Empson ; Prince Truelove, Alma Dickinson ; Baron, Unice Fletcher ; Baroness, Mamie Cahill ; Angelina, Eva McFarlane ; Clotilda, Florrie Reeve ; Fairy Godmother, Eileen Cahill ; Faries, Erica Dickinson, Hazel Popple, Ethel Carr and Eileen Bell ; Fleur de Lys, Ada Boyce ; Nimblewitz, Hilda Payze ; Pages, Dorothy Payze, LMy Bell, and Maggie Cahill; Alberto, Mabel Boyce ; Ladies Pinchtoes, Eva Richardson and Kathleen Willis ; Earl Tom Noddy, Phyllis Pilcher ; Squire Spuaretoes, A lice Boyce, Marquis Niddlenoddle, Doris Pilcher ; Princess Haddy Daddy, Marjorie Pilcher. Where all did so well it may perhaps seem invidious to specially mention any, but we think that the parts of Cinderella, Prince Truelove, The Baroness, Angelina and Clotilda were very well represented, indeed we have seldom seen it to better advantage. The dresses were excellent and the parents of the children must have had a busy time of late. The second part of the programme came very near collapsing owing to no less than eleven of the performers being indisposrl, but thanks to Mrs Cooke, Miss Kingsford, Mr Browne and other friends that came to the rescue, it was carried to a successful issue. Four plantation songs were given, as follow; "Click Clack" and " The Ring Tailed Coon." by Mr Pierce ; "The Old Banjo," by Mrs Wilkinson ; and "Good Night" by Mrs Cooke, the choruses being taken up in a spirited manner by a number of ladies and gentlemen. In addition Miss Kingsford played a violiu solo, for which she was deservedly encored, and Mr Browne sang " The Valley by the Sea " in a, pleasing manner. Archdeacon Willis thankad all who had contributed to make the entertainment a success, and the singing of the National Anthen closed the proceedings.
