ADJUSTMENTS.
OPERA HOUSE.


The audience that greeted the famous
Gilmore's Band at this place OF music |
last night, was not large In numbers, but |
hugh in vocilerous applauses. Gilmore !
gives q performance that comes as near
being 40 grains, 900 ane as any COM
psny now on the road, bat it seemed last
evening that the people had not the
grains to spare. The band gave re.
markedly fine entertainment replete
with exciting passages, sweet cadences
and soul stirring stsccstos. One mo-
ment you would imagine that you were
gliding mentally OF course, on the bosom
OF gentle zephyr, and at the next,
you would imagine yourself
sailing with imminent calsmitous
results upon the verge of mselstroIn,
unconsciously rising TO your feet to seek
safety. Again 1t would seem that one
was sitting by the gurgling waters with
the music of song birds above and the
incense of sweet flowers sll around. The
very air of the hall seemed surcfnrged
with exhilirsting vapors that nourish
ones thoughts untilthey grow and ripen
| into delightful fancies. The entire au.
! dience seemed TO be distracted. An
abysm before the audience last night
would have been no terror while the
wings OF imagination ere strong enough
to bear them up.
To mention the performance Of each
one would require too much space. We
can only speak of the entertainment IN
general terms, and we cannot praise the
instrumental part of 1t too highly
The sexophone solo rendered by Il.
| A. Leferbe WAS very fine, and the cornet
solo of B. &. Bent was exquisite. 1t was
encored and was vociferously applauded
after his response with the "Sweet bye
and bye" Miss Henderson did not ap-
pear, as Mr.. Gilmore stated to the
audience that she was suffering with
such severe cold that it would be i'm
possible for her to sing. Every one was
highly pleased with the entire entertain
ment.
THE ELKs.
The members of this club gave their
first grand bal masque at Assembly Hall
last night. There were about one hun
dred guests present, who were all gor-
geously srrayed in fancy costumes, some
being comIcsl, and Others grolesque.
There was music, by that prince OF mu-
sicisns, Josie Kramer, assisted by Prof.
Fred Lipp, first clarionet player of Gil
more's Band. Dancing, song, re-
fresnmonts flirting, and all that
sort of thing, which concluded
with the pleasure Of escorting
the girls home at o'clock this morning.
The affair was decided success, and
great credit is due to those having it in
charge. The following are the commit
tees that had the whole affair in charge

Neuhsusen furnished avery fine supper
for tho guests present and it is but just

former occasions OF the kind in preparing
so many good things which were de-
devoured by all with great relish.
