especially is great praise due Manager G. II.
W. Van Sciver--who Is also the drill master
and organizer Of the youthful military organi-

attained great proficiency in the manual of
arms aud the several manoenvres. At 81
o'clock on the above evening the hall was
filled with a large audience, standing room
being hardly attainable The orchestra

violinist-opened the programme by playing
in mastery manner 1.-The Cadet Waltz,
after which the curtain was raised, when
beautiful scene was presented-the company,
in full uniform and armed, each file of eight
soldiers being elevated one above the other
Captain Frank W. Larson first gave the
commands in the manual of arms, which the
boys executed with an exactness that would
do credit to many an older organization then
the manual was gone through without COM
mand, the scene closing with tableau-the
boys standing at ''carry arms,n while on
the highest elevation, in the rear of the stage,
stood Uncle Fenny" Boozer, latter whom
the organization is named), with his right
arm stretched out over the heads of the boys,
as If asking a blessing to rest upon the com
pany, while red stage fire was burned, the
whole presenting grand scene. The Cadet

Conine and George Peters, tenor drums and
Kinsey Naylor, bass drum-furnished the
audience with Martial Strains" "Stand

giving two selections. Little Johnny
Schmoker" by Frank Cove, Herbert D. Van
Solver, Frank Coryel, Walter Williamson,
Uly Naylor, Bartie O'Neill and Frank schep-
Ter, was very comic and created roars of
laughte. and applause. More Blunders
than One Mr.. FSdgit, Kinsey Naylor; John
0-so-sloso Lew Willamson-was also comic
and received with applause. A fancy drill, by
sixteen Cadets was the piece of the evening.
Each of the Cadets carried flag attached to
staff five or six feet in length and the evo-
lutions performed to the music of march,
and without single command, were perfect,
and the scene was a fine one. This act
proved tina, Mr. Van Solver had given great
deal of attention and labor to present in such
an admirable manner a scene that is seldom
surpassed in our large cities by professional
performers. The piece was loudly applauded,
and the boys presented the play second
time. i" The Original and Only Bone Corps,
with Frank Cove as Bone Major, was both
novel aud entertaining, the corps keeping ex-
celent time with the bones. Soag-" Old

Herbert and kissed her hand in adieu to the
audience, they We're greeted with rounds Of
applause, which called for an ENCORE. These
two youths were the s'comic stars " of the
evening, and we heard the remark in regard
to Master HERBERT chip off the old block"
(understand?). The orchestra rendered

Master Van Solver again created much amuse-
ment in this play, as also did Master Conover
in his comical uniform and the sherman
Band was compelled to make second APP

the laughable extravaganza, Growers Adj

deed was laughable. Mr.. Gromler could not
have been assigned to more competent MEM

as his growing was perfect. Don't think,
though, that the Lieutenant is an inveterate
GROWER, because we know that he isn't he
