the speakers did credit to themselves, and

tion that the hall never had more pretty girls

The Clemson Band furnished the music.
They made such excellent music, they will
probably be asked TO play for Commence

commented upon, but the College girls are the
sole judges in that line.
Through some unavoidable arrangement.
the Clemson ball team could not play ErS-

the two comedians played Othello and

great surprise to every one; for no person
had thought that these two farceurs. SO
notorious for their extravagant pranks in
private life as well as on the stage, could
be grave long enough to attempt to render
one of the most tremendous scenes in
Shakespeare. 1t seems. however. that both
felt too much respect for the poet to turn
him into ridicule-"butcher him to make a
New York holiday"-and they gave the act
in the mood in which it was written. Peo-
laugh remained to applaud. and after a few
minutes the audience forgot entirely that
it was watching the performance Of two
comedians. There was nothing so wonder
full in the performance. however, after all,

was capital. There was only one CLEAN of
burlesque in the scene. Lotta could not

and all the ladies were weeping, Lotta
turned round and gave a kick to her long
skirt and went off with a ludicrous walk.
