OGDEN SOCIETY.
With the single exception of ''Tril-
by" on Saturday night there was no
noted theatrical event in ogden last
week but amateur performances and
similar entertainments were quite nu-
merOus. Elaborate social events were
| likewise scarce but numerous home
parties and pleasant affairs on a small
scale were numerous. A number of
weddings also make the week one to be
remembered.
Tuesday the John A. Logan Post and
Relief Corps united with the General
r. H. G. Minty S. of V. in giving an
entertainment at the G. A. r. hail. A
pleasant time was had both at the
entertainment and the dance which
followed.
The Rathbone Sisters entertained at
Castle hall on Tuesday night. A Sc
ries of high five games were followed
by refreshments served by the ladies
in their usual hospitable manner.
Among the pleasant events of the
week was a dance in the Second ward
institute by the young people of the
ward on Thursday evening. The mu-
Third ward gave a very enjoyable
party on Wednesday evening, while
the Fourth ward people had their val
entine dance on Friday evening. The
regular ball of the Union opera house
was held on Friday instead of Satur-
day, and valentines were there in
abundance.
On Friday evening occurred the mu-
steal dramatic entertainment in the
Second ward. This was quite an elab-
crate affair, the first part consisting of
musical numbers beginning with a
quartette by E. F. Trout, c. w Hinch-
cliffe, John McQuarrie and Fred Trout.
Mrs. 7. F. Child's piano solo was en-
cored as was Hagbert Anderson's bass
solo. Mrs. Allison sang a contralto
solo and had to sing Ben Bolt" before
she was allowed to leave. Professor
Radcliffe rendered an exquisite ar
rangement of Home, Sweet Home"
as the encore accorded his first and
more classical piano solo. G. F. and
Fred Trout sank Excelsior" and two
selections by the Social Mandolin club
completed the musical numbers.
