Katie Putnam.

The Katie Putnam combination
played "Child of the Regiment" and
1.-The Little Rebel" to a crowded
house last night. The play was put
on with the attention to detail which
ia characteristic of this model COM
panv and all of the characters were
well sustained. The good taste and
artistic effect of the costumes worn
was particularly noticeable in the
make up of the popular drama. The
large houses which have greeted the
company in Butte may be regarded
as a high compliment to their good
judgement in placing before the
public a classot plays, we'll rendered,
which are calculated to amuse
recreate and entertain the audience,
withou, the wearying effect of the
heavy drama and tragedy by which
Butte play-goers have so often been
afflicted. And this is the secret OF
the success of the Katie putnam
Company. Their aim is to make the
audience laugh, and with that view
their plays are underscored, and pre-
sented in the light and airy manner
required by the humor of the text;
though the vein of pathos which
pervades their repertory loses moth
ing in the hands of the genuine ar
lists who make up the company. Al
the matinee, this afternoon, LENA,
the Madcap," will be repeated, and
for tonight "The Little Detective
and 1.-THE Youth Who Never Saw
Woman" are underscOred.

From the Turf. Field and Farm we
learn that rhady has been doing some
fast running at Fort Worth, Texas,
having run the mile in 1:40la. beating
Oliyette, Glendower, Matrimony and
Earl Beaconsfield. The only faster
time on record is credited to Ten
Brock at Louisville, in 1877, he
making the mile in a race against

posted horse men here appear to
think that Thady was not capable of
showing 80 much speed.
Thady's running mate, Gilt, is at

The Langtry, as she is everywhere
called, has left a bitter feeling behind
her in the minds and hearts of the
men whose business it is to make
styles and sell them. A sort of un-
pleasant odor fingers about her name
in New York, and she would not feel
lattered to hear all they say about
her.
And it has nothing to do with Der
penchant for FREDDY, strange to say.
1t is all on account of that jersey and
that turban which she wore over
here and thereby started an inexpen-
sive craze.
"She came here in her Internally
scanty unembellished Clothes" said
one man in a rage, and we lost thous-
ands of dollars, as every woman
straightway put on a jersey and q
plain hat. Why couldn't she do
something for US while she was
about it, and set fashions that would
bring money into the country in
stead of taking it out?"
"Do you honestly mean to say that
our independent American women
followed Langtry to the extent of af-
Getting the revenues of the United
States?"
"That's exactly what I do say. It
got to be the fashion when she first
came to wear plain hats and plain
dresses. She was made to give her
opinions, which were all silly as any
spoiled woman's, and she thought
the great fault of our women was
that they dressed too conspicuously
in the streets, were too fond Of bows
and streamers of ribbon. Things
took a drop after that, and we
felt it. Why couldn't she be
