and are taking great deal OF interest
in the match. After the tournament
there will be several foot races, and as
the sport will not cost anybody any
thing to witness it, We have no doubt
but what there will be large attend

CHRISTMAS.
BY CHARLES s. GREENE.

Again the joyous Christmas bells are peal.
ing.
And circling roand the ever rolling earth;
The gladstone light of Christmas day is
stealing,
That bids US wake to merriment and
mirth.
No home so poor in any Christian nation
That Christmas brings no jollity to-day,
And none so rich, or none so high In station.
That is not made more happy and more
gay.
No woman is so low, or SO forsaken,
Dcflea almost hey Ond the hope of cure,
That feels to-day no tender memories waken
OF Christmas days whea she was young
and pure.
The anchorite to-day forgets his penanee,
Laudamus takes .he Miserere's place;
Into his gloomy brain as welcome tenents
Come peace and joy, all dismal thought to
chase.
In stately halls the Yule-tide log is blazing,
As when in royal feasts Of days gone by
1t lit the gorgeous train, ia triumph raising
The peacock plumed and great boar.
head on high.
And everywhere the children are delighting
In giits that good st. Nick brought through
the roof
With perfect faith his midnight call recit-
ing
Are not the stockings ersmmed saficient
proof;
The childlike feeling moves the sternsst
reason,
The coolest cynic is ashamed to sneer.
And must believe. genial is the season,
That all these kindly wishes are sincere.
And is it then childish fancy merely
This faith in Christmas, with its joy aud
grace!
A fancy! no, 1t is recorded clearly,
AS little children ye must See my face"
Then vet again let Christmas bring rejoicing,
Let time but serve the chorus to Increase

The Great Western Minstrel troupe
will give another entertainment at
Schieffelin Hall tonight. The mana
ger has secured the services of two
artists from the leading San Francisco
tbeaters. The admission fee has been
reduced to 90 cents and 20 cents extra
for reserved seats. There will be an
entire change of programme tonight,
and the performance will be a parlor
show.
The performance given by the Great
Western Minstrel troupe last evening
attracted qnite a large audience. The
singing was good, but the acts owing
to the lack of costumes was not so
good, as it was hard to imagine that
you were witnessing q minstrel show
when the characters, with two excep-
tons, were all dressed in Uncle Sans
uniform, which is not held in the
highest respect at the present time in
