ceding ones. The light fantastic was
the prevailing amusement, though

ing. The gaiety OF the evening lasted

A. o. U. W. INSTALLATION.
Last Friday evening, y fair sized
audience assembled in the opera
house TO witness the installation exer-
cisss Of the A. o. U. w. The evening
being disagreeable one, many re.
niaiued at home, but those who braved
the cold atmosphere were fully repaid
By a most pleasant time. The exercises
Of the even ng began with an overture
by the orchestra, the opening cere.
monies Of the order having to be
omitted on account of the want of
room on the stage. After the orchestra
had rendered one OF their most beau
tiful pieces Prof. Turner who acted rs
grand guide, introduced to TIE audi.
ence Hon. Geo. T. Russell, grand
master Of Orngrn and Washington.
After the loud and continued applause
had subsidized the gentleman opened
his address with brief history Of the
order. The speech was nearly all
devoted to the objects, history and
benefits Of the order, and from beg n
min to end WAS listened to with in
tense interest, the audience often
intsrruptins with bursts of applause.
His eloquence and superior stage
appearance held his audience spell
bound, and they were not long in rec
ognizng in the gentleman the great
,ss which the dignity and successful
issues Uf his office demand. After the
speech Was concluded, Misses Annie
and Ruth Turner delighted the audi
ence with their sweet voices by rem
dering in exquisite style the duet
entitled "Summer Time" Following
this was the installation exercises,
which, on account of want ofsroom,
were conducted in the brefest manner
p ssible, but were most interesting to
the audience. The next on the pro-
gramme was piano ddet
10y Mrs. Knox and Miss Turner
entitled ola Fraviata" and the
beautiful strains brought forth by the
deft touches Of the performers were
greatly appreciated. Following this
was an address by Prof. Spain, aud in
justice to the gentleman, it was the
best oratorical effort ever made in this
city, save the lecture of the redoubtl-
ble Robt. q. Ingersoll, whose rhetoric
and eloquence in many places sur
passed even the greatest flight Of
Demosthenes in his famous orstion
"On the Crown" Ali vino missed this
spec b missed u treat, for the gentle.
mans SMILES in reference to the order
were touching indeed. The exordlum
and perOration were both eloque, and
added brilliancy to the already pol
ished body. The gentlemap's speech
was the best thing of the evening and
his effort deserves pr Use. The liter.
ary exercises OF the evening co ,cluded
with II quartette by Miss Turner, Mrs
Thompson, Messrs. Thompson and
Wells, entitled, "Trust Her Not"
which was rend ered in such an ndmira.
bic style that u repetition Of the last
verse WAS the only response which the
delighted audience would accept.
After this the seats were quickly
cleared away and those present en-
ioyed the festivities of social dance
till after midnight, when all ok their
departure, each and everyone being
