PIPER's OPERA HousE-TuE BLIND
TRoUPE.-The famous Pioneer Blind
Troupe of vocal and instrumental mu-
%slcians, composed Of Messrs. Smith,
Walker, Wood, Fuller, and Miss Ella
Moran, all blind, made their first ap-
pearance last evening at Piper's Opera
House, to a fashionable and appre-
ciative audience. Their entertainment
consisted Of popular ballads, duets,
trios, choruses, ETC., aided by their
own Instrumental music, each one be-
ing a good performer on some instru-
ment. Miss Moran is a very pleasing
singer, possessing a clear, sweet
soprano voice and pleasing appearance,
which merit added to the sympathy of
the audience for her sightless condl-
ton, induced the warmest and most
encouraging applause of her every
effort. She Is only about eighteen
years old, II graduate Of the Boston
Blind Institute, and a teacher Of vocal
and instrumental music. Mr.. Smith
Is one of the sweetest and most tai
ented performers on the cornet. Wood
excellent on the violin, Fuller a good
player OIL the v~iolincello, aud guitar.
as well as q good singer, and
Walker Is the funny man and
comic singer Of the company, as well
as a capital violinist. His Irish and
Dutch comic songs were heartily APP
plauded and encored, also his violin
solo with cuckoo imitation. Fuller's
original medley song was also encored.
The violin duet from the opera OF Mar
tina, by Wood and Walker, was very
good indeed, and that other comic ar
rangement In that line, By Smith and
Walker, concluding the entertainment,
Is not easily to be surpassed. They
PLAYED their violins in twenty-five
different positions, and were. much ap-
plauded. Altogether 1t was an enter
tainment we'll worth seeing. aside from
the laudable desire to patronize and
assist those who, deprived Of the bless
ing of sight, are thus availing them
selves of the talents Nature has COM
pensatingly endowed them with to
gain a respectable livelihood. They
deserve, and we sincerely hope will
receive, a crowded house tonight.
Prices Of admission as usual, with no
extra charge tor reserved seats.

Der, says the Carson Register, that from
the 18th to the 2lst of October, both
days inclusive, our gay city will be
the theatre Of that classic sport (erst Of
Athens and Rome, later Of Ireland and
England, but latest Of America horse

purses. Carson will then present the

scale. Next to q beautiful woman

admiration as n beautiful horse q
thoroughbred. 1t IL when the racer Is
at speed that he shows to advantage
| his eyes shine with excitement, whilc
he seems to possess an almost human
ambition to be first In the race, which
Is the test Of courage, speed and endur'
ance. There IL no reason why the
coming races should not be n perfect
success. The purses offered are more

fortunes by less hazardous wagers OF
horse racing.
