will have to stop your fast riding.
DAYTON. KY.
One of the largest audiences ever as
sembled in Moellers Hall greeted The
Excelsior Club last night as the curtain
arose on the domestic drama of ''Dearer
Than Life" The cast was an excellent
one, and the players were on their met
tie, as they knew that rival dramatic
club was in the audience taking a criti.
selves admirably, eliciting frequent ap-
plause, but the characters of "Michael
Garner" (Mr. Jacob Cohn), "Mrs-
Garner" Miss Lizzie Legge), and
Daley, showed evidence Of the
most careful study. AS to the after
piece, a rather good farce, but which
was spoiled by the weak attempt of
some smart Aleck to localize 1T, and
ring in different citizens names, not
so much can be said in its favor; the at
tempt at localization was in bad taste,
and met with no encouragement. The
proceeds OF the entertainment are for
KirschnePs COrnet Band, an organiZa-
siors have covered themselves with glo-
ry, and will hereafter have no trouble in
filing the hall when they hold the
boards.
