High Commendation.

Prof Gardner, of the State Normal
school, PlattsvilIe, Wisconsin, writes
this letter concerning the McGibney
family:
PLATTsvILLE. Wis, Aug, 81, 1885.
1t is a real pleasure in these days of
shams and false pretensions to be able
to heartily commend an entertainment
given by travelling company, and it
is in the spirit of frank. impartial
criticism that we can most heartily
commend the entertainments given by
the McGibeny family.
It has been our practice for several
years, through a local organization, to
engage in our city the very best enter
tainments we could procure with quite
a respectable fund at our disposal, and
as among the very best in this line, our
people would very unanimously vote
day the wholesome, refined and
most thoroughly enjoyable entertain
ment given by the remarkable family
last evening.

We found the following notice about
the Swiss Bell Ringers in the Stanford
journal Of May the 18th: No enter
tainment yet given at the Opera House
here has elected such entire satisfac-
ton as that of the Royce Swiss Bell
Ringers and Speciality Co., last Friday,
and those who stayed away because
there was no brass band and donkey
business, feel badly left. The pro-
gramme was chuck full of sweetest
music, both vocal and instrumental,
which kept the audience either laugh
ing or applauding Throughout The
gentlemanly manager, Mr. Ray L.
Royce, is a genuine comedian, and
his speciality business was a show in
itself. Web Lansing who is equal to
whole brass band, playing as he does
on seven instruments at once, also did
some clever character acting, while
Lizzie Royce and Nellie Hosking fa-
vored the audience with several vocal
solos and duets, which were loudly ap-
plauded. The other members were
more than ordinary in their prospective
parts. As proprietor of the hall we
never had dealings with nicer ladies
and gentleman, and it gives US pleas
ure to recommend Mr.. Royce and his
company to the amusemeut-loving
people.
