GATHERING OF NATIONS.
A Beautiful Production at the Opera
House Last Evening.
The Gathering of the Nations entertainment given at the opera house last night under the auspices of the Ladies Aid society of the Presbyterian church, directed by Mrs. Weller of New York City, was so much of a success that the program will be reheased [sic] rehearsed at a matinee next Saturday afternoon at the same place. The audience was large and appreciative and the entertainment one of the best of the kind ever given in Muncie. Most of those taking part were children, most of them not being over 4 years of age. The members of each drill were costumed for the part they represented and the actions of many were very cute. One sweet little child accidentally fell upon the stage and she began to cry, her voice adding to the pleasure of the scene other than detracting.
