THE PROVO BILL.
The Garden City Holds High Car
nival in its Opera House.

It's gay winter in Provo, as well as
Salt Lake, let me tell you. The dane :
ing floor was extended over the par
quette of our cozy little Opera House
before Christmas and since then as
often as once week the sounds of Mr..
TerpsiGbore.- in his grateful reoels with
instrumental accompaniment have
fioated out on the crisp Provo simosl
phere to the infinite delight OF all the
young people and the entire dancing
population of the place. These parties
are given under the auspices of the
board of control of the Theatre Com
pany, and are very sociable and Sc
lect. The latest and really Lune tuat Of
all the affairs that have yet been given.
here was the character dress Dali on
Friday last, which was under the per
sonal supervision of Mr.. John y.
Graham, who personated himself the
jolly old King Carnival, ably assisted
by Mr.. Albert Glazier and others.
Now, l don't want your readers to go
off with the impression that il was Il
bal mosque We had here, because II
wasn't. The moral sentiment Of the
community is opposed to masqueras-
ing in any form and the petty, bright
faced girls of PROVO have no use for
facial coverings either of pasteboard or
paint. The music was delicious,
though not sufficient in the number OF
instruments for hall of such magni-
tude; the floor is really the finest pes
sible and the enjoyment of dancers and
onlookers in the dress circle and. the
two galleries, all of which were filled
to the brim, was of the keenest kind.

acters represented which were hastily
jotted down on the celiuloid cuff of
