1t is seldom that the people of The
Dalles have the pleasure of listening to
SO rich a treat as was furnished last night
in the opera house, by the students of
the Wasco Independent academy. To
say that it wassa complete surprise and
crowning success Is to put it very
mildly. Itwas more than ia snccess = it
was triumph and revelation. 1t was
sermon and opera, comedy and min
strelsy all in one. Some of the recita-
tions, especially those of the little ones,
equaled the best we have ever witnessed
on any stage by old or young We can
not make invidious comparisons where
all tried to do their best, and we have
not the heart to distinguish where all
was SO uniformly excellent. The charm
ing selections were finely adapted to the
performers and the vocal music gave evi-
dence of successful training. ''Only a
Pansy Blossom" was a charming and
original conceit and the sTamborine
Drill lays quietly in : the shade the
laurels of the O. N. G. AS gentleman
said in our hearing, on leaving the build
ing, ''The militia boys may as well give
up their guns to those young ladies'"
The audience was, we believe, the largest
that ever met in the Vogt Grand and all
were alike charmed and delighted Prof
Ingalls, has demonstrated that the
people can be brought out and an en-
l. l.
The Dalles if one has the pluck to carry
it out, and he has the thanks of the COM
munity for so doing. Miss Lawrence is
entitled to much credit for her painstak-
ing efforts in bringing the pupils of the
academy who participated in the enter
tainment to such degree of proficiency.
Miss Anne M. Lang was the pianist of
the evening, and was indeed an accept
able one, her marches in particular be-
ing catchy and taking. Miss MAZE Will
liams assisted the pupils in the singing
and her sweet voice added much to the
pleasure of the evening. Below we pub
