There is much curiosity over the first con

have only been organized since last fall but I'M
der the tuition of Miss Olsen they are said to
have made capital progress. They will appear
| in their new uniforms, and with the picturesque
costumes of the gentlemen, the whole will form
a very pleasing spectacle. The gentlemen s
club has added several new instruments lately
one of them being harp, which should prove a
valuable acquisition Both clubs also appear
, on the afternoon of April IL, when a shadow
pantomime will be added feature.
In spite of the weather Friday, which is
ladies' souvenir day at Wonderland, the crowd
was immense, as it was all week. Miss Ewing

children that adult could scarcely move
about. For the coming week, which commences
,, to-day, complete change of the bills takes
place, as is usual and the only feature remain
ing is Miss Ewing. In the Theatorium the
Rineharts will be the stellar attraction, a very
clever family composed of Madam, Leo and
l Beatrice. The latter is young lady of nc
mean ability and her portrayal Of the par
she plays in the comedy which forms part of the
stage show has received some clever econiums
from the press generally.
