DO gave their first performance in the
/ Park City opera house this evening.
/ Amusements are scarce in Park City
at this season of the year, so it is no
wonder that the opera house was well
filled with an appreciatiYe audience.
( Several of the best known Republic
cans of the Park-male and female
were on the stage, in addition to the
we'll known Salt Lakers, and it
could not but have been pleasing to
the visitors, as Charles Crane stepped
out and made a short speech prior to
the introduction of the first speaker.
/ Mr.. Crane was moderate in his re-
marks, but it was plain to be seen
! that there still rankles within his
breast his defeat at the hands of the
men for whom he gave up his time and
his cash, only to be thrown aside as

T squeezed therefrom. However, Mr..
Crane made very satisfactory chair

they say in the Park, he, however,

! 1t was a wonderful combindtion-so
wonderful, indeed that most of his
hearers who remember him at all. are
still wondering what he was trying to
! get at-where, in fact, he was at.
He then brancfed off to finance, and
to all who know Buffalo, will readily
concede that his views on that
subject were most decidedly interest
ing. He did however, advance one

and some Dixie wine, which impressed
his hearers with the belief that it was

With a warning to his hearers not

speech, amid such applause as con-

This was such decided slap at the

audience caught on, and the applause
was long and loud.

Lee Fairchild, from whom much had
been expected, followed. He was a
keen disappointment to the men and
women who had assembled to hear
him. He made no argument-his
speech, if such it could be called, con-
sisted of a few funny stories which
tickled the children present, and abuse
of the Democrats and Populists. "Au
