Comedy Company, exhibited in See
bold's Hall Monday and Tuesday eve-
nings OF this;week and gave two very
clever entertainments. The only dis.
couraging features about the enter
tainments were the slim audiences,
but tine company acted in the same
spirit as though they appeared before
their accustomed hundred bollar

Should they come again there will be
better houses in store for them.
