LAST NIGHTS ENTERTAINMENT.

The Public Verdict Upon lt-It Was
Most Enjoyable and Satisfactory-
The Program.
s.The finest entertainment we ever
had in Hailey!' "Don't forget to say
that Miss Fsench's recitation was far
more meritorious than those of MANY
first class actresses" "What q sweet
voice Mrs. Burns has," "Didn't the
Misses McGulnness play beautifully"
"Miss. Wright was just splendid!"
"Miss Mamie Harrington has very
good voice whicb she handles admir-
ably"
That is the verdict on las. nights
musical and literary entertainment.
1t is not the TINES. 1t is that OF peo-
pie who were there, and who are fully
competent to judge. Nor does it do
moro than express the unanimous
opinion Of all who were there. The
spontaneity of the applause, the num-
Der of recalls which finally had to be
denied) testify to that.
The ball was so crowded that there
was not even standing room, and
fully so persons were unable to obtain
admittance. Yet all the tickets sold

Colonel Bryan made a great hit
with his topical song. Such things
always stake" He was recalled Eve
times, and each time gave a new
verse. Here is the song, which he
dashed off, one evening, in just about
Is minutes, while two or three friends
were present:
We have crowd at Boise
OF politicians noisy.
With past success elated
Would be nominated.
Their promises are strong, sir;
But since they've all gone wrong, sir;
think best to defeat them.
Sponge em outl sponge 'em outl
The gold bugs think 1t funny
To put down silver money,
And rob the hard worked miner
Out Of his honest sinner.
Wen teach them all trick. sir,
Will make them very sick. sir,
No matter in what party.
Sponge EN- out sponge em outl
The leap year ball has caught us.
Aud surely 1t has taught US
To give the ladies chances
To manage all our dances.
We must admit, disereetly,
They did excel SO sweetly;
| Let's ask them to repeat, ard
Sponge out! sponge us out
Now "oAt of sight" has lately
Gene into favor greatly.
| To show their admiration,
| Without discrimination,
! lot of people use it,
And sadly they abuse it.,
Let's use it less, or drop it.
Sponge it out! sponge it outl
To Irish hearts this day, sir,
Calls for fine display. sir
| Green colors patriotic,
| And shainrock-loved exotic.
Should Irishmen neglect 1t.
| And ever dare IT ject it.,
With good blackthorn shillalah
Sponge I'm out! sponge 'em cut!
The miner on Wood River
| Is always a free giver.
when sickness some other
Misfortune to q brother
Calls for his hard armed dollar,
They all get in the collar
And with united effort
Sponge it out sponge it out!
Our ladies, too. God bless theml
We have no need to press them
When Charity is pleading
Or some one help Is needing;
With joy they MI each measure
And make 1t seem pleasure
To struggle against sorrow,
And sponge 1t out! sponge it outl
Dear ladies, Splinter Bradley
Afflicted Is. most sadly.
Leap year to you has granted
What he SO long has wanted;
He loves you all, sincerely,
But Is too timid, merely.
Don't let him die bachelor.
Sponge him out! sponge him OUT

For your applause so kindly;
And still must be stating
The rest their turns waiting
IsIways shall endeavor
TO ect SO that you Il never
Exclain, when here you see me:
Sponge him out! sponge him outl
All the numbers excepting those

"Don'd gif dot name one bad place !"
Etc.
