A recent issue of the Keene Sentinel
says: Fred E. Wright, manager of Hoyt's

Monday evening looking over the stage at
city hall with view to determining the

ting up the company's very essential

celled, therefore, to the regret of Messrs.

prove the case, of the entire amusement
loving community"
