never had a heartier reception than that
accorded 1t In Boise. The dramatic editor
OF the Statesman, late from New York, said
Thursday morning:
The long expected and eagerly looked for ap-
pearance OF the celebrated Home Dramatic
company OF Salt Lake city, took place on last
evening at Sonna's opera house before large
ana most representative audience, whose hearty
applause and keen appreciation OF the highly
humorous situations OF the play were tie best

heralded company were more than realized.

the full need of praise must be accorded Mr..
Spencer as Blizzard Mr.. Wells as Mortimer
MISS Clarldge as Lucretia, and Miss Smell as
Rose, not forgetting, Of course. the baby and
the pug. Lack of space prevents any further
notice of the performance at this time.
The club has received many courteous
attentions from the Boise people A hand

performance; the Union Pacific sent Mr.

Communications; the legislature held no
night sessions during the engagement, and
all the members attended both perform

the Capitol, did all they could to make the
stay pleasant, and each gentleman member
OF the club was presented with the follow

legal form by the Arid club:

however, will find the grand old building
crowded as on Patti night Because: the
line programme given warrants it; the
good will and pride of the people in their
great choir will make them eager to testify
