Peck and Aleine Rowland. Their dancing was much admired. As finale they fiocked to the rear of the stage and danced slowly forward, waving long red streamers high in the air, g strong reminder of the time;honored Spanish spors s oi b1ll .sa, bait. Mrs. George Fl. Ford threw two big bouquets of roses from her box after the retreating group. Misses Anna Holcemb and Rowland ran to secure the sweet trophies, and the Spanish maids responded to vociferous en- core with another lively dance.
 The Baby Polka proved to be most sue oessful comedy clement. Sixteen lit; in white baby capes, long white gowns ond monstrous pink sashes tied into great bows behind They ran around on . wild gallep, shaking defantly their rattles. Their antics convulsed the audience with laughter They toddled around in a circle, fell upon the floor, rolled over each other and . ran out amid Gsnn s1orm oi . appl.uss. .h. hit of the evening, and proved themselves adept in the light footed art. They were finely led by Miss Minnie Crane They were Misses Hattie and Lottie Lum, Misses Foote, Fowler, Jerome, Coburn, Carrie Hartman, Emma Chatterton. Adele Van Name. The gentlemen were Messrs. ". Il. Butler, W. Lum, Sherman, Fred Norman, Corn wall, Dickerman, Edward and Sherman Foete, Ed. Munson, J. English and Pringle. Miss Crane danced graceful gipsy tambou- rine medley At a weird signal her gfpsv companions rushed forth and joined her in the curious measures. The finale was 8 mas terpiece of novel dancing. The girls huddled rines above their heads, and rushed at wild pace to the footlights, their flying hair, ribs bo-s and shaking tambourines forming g SC ae which was witnessed with unbounded dS.ight by the audience. They responded to an encore with repetition of this captivating movement.
 A grand procession was followed by "La Paloma.D The entire gathering of dancers clustered upon either side of the stage, leav- ing . passage through the center. Mrs. A. Heaton Robertson tripped lightly along this to the footlights and sang quaint medley, sweet, artistic and harmonious. It ended with little dance. She received several | bouquets of roses, basket of flowers and an- other monstrous basket which she could hardly lift. She acknowledged these pretty tributes by another song as captivating as the first.
 The entertainment closed with an elaborate tableau in which the vivaeious Spanish beau ties occupied prominent position in the center, while about them were grouped the hosts of gay dancers, some kneeling, some bending in fanciful positions and others
 
 I in their outstretched hands.
