The University club has engaged sew
eral boxes and will be very much in
evidence at the Glee club concert.
Some of the U. of NJ. graduates have
signified their intention of decorating
their boxes with the university colors-
yellow and blue.
Such an attractive aggregation OF
Young men is seldom seen. Doubtless
the young ladies will appreciate TINS
fact.
Karl Miner has such an Irish brogue
that the Chicago Times-Herald is in
doubt whether it is natural or &C
! 0uired. Miner is one of the singing
comedians.
The ladies will be presented with a
souvenir programme, containing the
words of two of the Carmina Michigan
ensium, songs of Michigan, ana d piio-
tograph of the entire clab.
Tho+ the vulgar and the suggestive
are not essential to the farcical COM
e5v is proven by the great success OF
..rThe Strange Adventures OF MISS
Brown" This attraction will be seen
AT the theatre on May L and 2 Inc
| scheme of the plot is such that 1t
would not be surprising if the very ap-
parent opportunity which 1t a1ofus
! for indelicacy in illusion and sltuatloh
were utilized. ~
The authors, however, nave con l5
mendably resisted every attempt ana
the finn is clean, if boisterous. Eddie
Fov. we know him best by that name,
aids not a little in this. He accom-
plishes in his feminine garb, the most
difficult task of insisting upon ms mas
culinity to his audience, at the same
time that he makes it appear quite
plausible that his get up would nave
deceived the inmates Of Cicero academy
as to his sex. The company ensag ~,
to support Mr.. Foy is an unusually
strong one, and numbers among It's
names that of Harry Brown, c. j. Bur-
ridge. James z. Sullivan, George Gas
ton, Effie Dinsmore, Lizzie Conway,
Lillian Larkins, Lizzie Morgan, Pay
son Graham and Madeline Miranda.
All things considered the past week
at the Grand has been one of the
most satisfactory in the history of the
lnouse The fear that the company as
A whole might be materially weakened
by the departure of the favorites, Mr..
| IngersoI. Miss Warren, Mr.. Edison and
Mr., Ward. was quickly dispelled with
the opening performance. The selection
of "All the Comforts of Home" proved
a wise one, and the production was
marked improvement over that given
by the old Grand company. Clarke,
Edwards, Blakemore, King, Royce and
Hathaway doing exceptionally good
work, while Miss Remark, Miss TruaX,
Miss Cook, Miss Henry and Miss Dean
won new laurels.
The bill this week will be the popu-
lar melodrama. The Wages of Sir"
which has not been seen here for some
time. This play will give the company
greater opportunities than did last
weeks bill, and fine production may
be expected.
The cast will be as follows:
George Brand. ....... Walter Edwards

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-I seize
a moment out of the whirl of concert
giving and sight seeing into which the
choir is plunged in San Francisco, to
give you a brief statement of the tour
up to this time. Thus far it has all
NJ -o14
! everyone is apparently engaged in
race with everyone else, to see which
can get the greatest amount of enjoy
ment out OF the shortest possible space
OF time. The Cliff House, Sutro
Heights, Golden Gate park and the
mint, all these places have been done
thoroughly as Phipps would say,
though we have been here less than
two days; Chinatown will be done to-
night, and San Francisco's newest at
traction, the murderer Durrant, will
be viewed by some at least of the party
tomorrow. The choir has been receiv-
ed with open arms in social way; the
! first persons to board our train at Oak
land were Hugh Warde and George e.
Lask. Dozens of former Salt Lakers
whom We had lost sight of for years,
seemed TO bob uD on every corner of
Oakland and San Francisco. Will Cal
stein & Co., is with our party and the
head of his big house not only bought
a bunch of tickets for the opening con-
cert, but took forty of the choir today
over all San Francisco, set them down
ito dinner and did the thing up brown
generally. Colonel Trumbo, DIR. and
Mrs. White, had a party present at
the concert, and today many of the
choir are viewing the colonel's fine art
J &c crD1 ~. L.,
cal Mormon missionaries, headed by
Professor Tanner, have done all in
their power for us, and they in turn
nave been our guests at the concert.
The two concerts given thus far have
proved fine artistic successes. only ia ir
moneyed ones; still both yielded a pro
hit, and in this town of overdone amuse-
ments 1t seems to be q triumph not to
have a balance on the wrong side. The
newspaper advertising we have receiv-
ed has been immense San Francisco
mas SIX daily papers and all have given
the choir the highest praise, except one
the Examiner. The critic on this pane1.
finds fault with the soloists. and a
number of small details, but praises
the choir highly.
The past week at the Lyceum theater
has been banner one, both financially
and artistically. The management
made happy selection when thew SET
tied upon the old time favorite play,
Hazel Kirke.'' Few dramas of it's
class are so well known and liked. or
have served such a long and honora Bile
career. The name Hazel Kirke" has
long since been an accepted household
word on two continents and will con-
tinue to be such while the public taste
| demands pure, wholesome sentiment
