FORT RUSSELL.
The great event OF the week was the
visit of the Fort Sidney Dramatic club
and their presentation on Wednesday
evening of the three act farce comedy
Our Regiment. The praise of the club
we had heard had prepared us for a treat
but not for such an excellent and finished
performance as was presented. The play
itself is of very great merltlsnd the parte,

the stage he received an ovation, the hall

plause. Mr.. Morrow became very popular
here during his three years service in the
regiment.
