A FINE PERFORMANCE.
The Athletic Club Give Their
First Exhibition.

First Exhibition.
One Of the best entertainments given
at the opera house this season was the
beneht performance of the Athletic club
Tuesday evening. The program occupied
two hours aud was replete with good
things. The applause was continuous
from the rise of the curtain and encores
were the rule. Today the members re-
ceived congratulations on every hand.
Training for the exhibition had been in
progress but few weeks and praise for
the results accomplished in this short
time is due to the untlring efforts of
Instructors T. E. McLain and A.
Winkler. Mr.. McLain had charge of
the tumbling and leaping, while Mr..
Winkler superintended the bar work.
The evenings program moved smoothly,
with zest that was infections AID with
out mitch anywhere-and this with but
one dress rehearsal.
The class work was excellent. It was
spirited and seemed too short to the
audience who loudly applauded each
number and signlfed desire for more.
The work on the horizontal bar was the
opening feature. Much difficult, daring
and dashiDg work was done showing
now little systematic exercise will pro-
duce gracefulness and agility. This
was also true of the leaping, tumbling
| and parallel bar work which was all ''out
of sight," Each member did we'll and
there were rome that during the per-
formance did not secure audible ap-
proval from the house.
The fencing bout and club swinging
were each interesting features. The
. WORK of the Germania society boys on
the vaulting horse was we'll done and
thoroughly enjoyed. The little fellows
we're miniature athletes. The slack wire
performance could hardly have been
better and the contortlon work superior.
The boxing exhibition was "hot one =
The gallery gods called for gore and
would not be satisfied. The two
rounds were warm with plenty of action
and were a good display of the manly
art.
Walter Taylor made his first appear
ance before the public as cornetist
and made a good impression. The
male quartet-always good-rendered
+vo coIo.t;onc opS tho Nf;eeoe T,,,y R,ll
and Mae Miller preformed a charming
violin Duet. Miss Josephine Smith,
who has fine soprano voice, sung
solo, and was given a hearty recall.
Adam Neutzl's either solo was superb.
The opening overture, piano duet
by Mrs. Klapp and Miss Belle Tilden,
was finely executed.
The thanks of the club are extended
to those who so kindly contributed their
ability or time to the success OF theenter-
tainm Supt Moore was so pleased
with the entertainment that be has IN
vited the club to repeat the perform
ance at the asylum in the near future.
