Mrs. ITandOm, the soprano ui TINS CllN,
will soon give Il pupils recital at some hall
III this city. This talented lady has had the
| greatest Success aS a vocal teacher, and the
recital is looked forward to with great i'll
tcrrst About fifteen pupils will sing on
! that occasion.
An old folks concert will be given under
the auspices of the Congregational church
| at Blacks opera house. on the first of June.
Two acts will be- taken up with the concert,
and third will consist of a shadow
| pantomimr, which is exceedingly amusing.
Some of leading vocalists of the city will
| appear in the concert, which will consist of
! the old time songs which are 80 popular
| This concert is not the same aS ''ye Olde
folks concert" which was given i'll this city
recently, but is a distinct affair, with differ
emt music and dialogue.
| 1t is probable that the dramatic season
! has closed for good here. Except for >ev-

tainmeutS the foUtIights will blaze no more
until next fall.
The public ought to put a cold sponge on
| its head. and retire 10 some secluded spot
! and kick itself for not having given the Har
riSom art views at Blacks opera house better
audiences. Here are mammoth pictures of
the most beautiful and noted cities, temples.
cathedralS, palaces and works OF art in the
world. So clearly defined and So natural
that the spectator gets just about as good
an idea Of the original As If he had seen II.
| The sculptures stand out as clear rs the
original marble. To take such a tour as
was covered by last weeks lectures would
take year OF time and 81, 900 or 81, 900,
and here il was offered them i'll six nights
and for 81. For education in art, history,

night if the tickets had been 81 instead of
- cents. Prof. Harrison will give a special
exhibition of his views in the Holy Land
and Egypt at Blacks opera house tonight
Sunday. He should have an immense
house. Springfield makes a mistake by not
packing the houses to see these gorgeous,
sunny pictures.
1t is said that negotiations were in pro
greSS last week by the proprietorS of Miller,
Oaky Il Frreman'S circus to secure the Big
Six band to travel with the circus the rest
of the season. They failed Ia secure the
band, however.
Mr.. Perry Ayerll. of the Relic Cole con
cert company, by his genial address. ''cute

tic piano playing, and elegant

made himself solid with the
concert going public of Springfield. To
take up solo at sight and sing it for the
tired Turpin. as he did Monday night, re-
qnired nerve nerves as thick as bass lidle
strings.
Most of the population of the city took in
the ten cent circus last week. The circus
is portion of the NanAmburg show which
was purchased by the present propretorS.
1t is not generally known that the Okey in

who run the circus is a son of the late Su-
pTeme Judge Okey, of Columbus. oh, We
gods and little fishes, the father on the Su-
prrmr bench. and the son furnishing the
brains for the management of ten
cent circus, The father exercising juriS-
dirtiOn affecting the condition Of great
commonwealth; and the son exercising
jurisdiction over the amount Of meat the
lion and spotted ornithyrinkus shall have
for their Sunday dinner,
However this may be, it is probable that
there is vastly more money in running the
circus than there is in a supreme court

jingle through the ticket Office window; and
it is highly probable that the proprietor of
cheap circus ConferS quite As much enjoy
ment on his fellow mem As a supreme judge.
Okey'S circus is very good one, and the
concert following the circus is nOhly done.
But you must not think ten cents is all they
get out out OF il. The side show costs ten
cents, admission Ia the circus ten cents,
reserved seat ten cents, concert ten cents.
In this way, aided by the efforts of the red
ink lemonade hend, the circus pays hand
>omely, and the proprietorS are coming
money. | hear that they are about to pur-
chase a larger tent. and improve the show
in other ways. They soon leave for a long
eastern tour. People enjoy an old-time
circus with its string band and one ring.
Performances in two rings al once are nearly
aS unsatisfactory Ia watch as looking at Il
comedy and tragedy all at once.
