ADJUSTMENTS

At THE THEATRE.-Della Fox
concluded a great engag cement at the
theatre last night. With the exception
of "Puddin' Head Wilson" and Mad :
anne Sans Gene" nothing has played at
the house for several seasons in which
each nights business steadily jumped
over that of the preceding night. Last
evening saw the greatest of all Miss
Fox's houses, and she leaves the town
in decidedly good humor. THE Little
Trooper" which is merely farce from
he--rench set to music and not nearly
so bright, comic or tuneful as "Fleur
de Lis" drew forth a good deal of
applause and caused considerable
illustrates that when the town gets the
sort of show it is hungry for, and at
prices it can afford to pay Cat $3.50 Miss
Fox would have been a frosD, it is still
ready to flock as Of yore to patroniZe
it.
THE OGDEN TRIP.-At least 100
Salt Lakers will take a run up to Og-
den on the Rio. Grande Western this
afternoon to witness the farewell pro-
duction of the charming opera, THE
Pirates of PenZance." The train leaves
at 4 o. m. and returns Immediately
after the performance.
THE NEW CHORAL.-Professor Nc
Clellan and Willard Weihe are both
decidedly enthusiastic over the new
Choral society. Professor Mcclellan
says the membership will be limited to
200, that all singers must pass an ex-
animation and come UP to a certain
standard. Applications will be re-
ceived Saturday evening. Mr.. Weihe
will form an orchestra of at least 80
men to work in connection with the
Choral.
THE KIRMESS.-The town is get
ting into an enthusiastic state of mind
over the kirmess which is to hold the
boards three days and nights next
week. The ball floor will be down, and
any number of booths placed on the
floor and stage. The various commit
tees are ransacking the town for its
pretty girls, and in scope and variety
the town may expect the prettiest
show it has seen for a long time past.
All the funds raised go to the NJ. 1. a.
League fund, and as the league is
very much in need, the committee
proposes to see that the sum realized
is a handsome one.
NORDICA'S PLANS CHANGED
Mr.. Wilson, who has been working like
a beaver for weeks past arranging for
Nordica's. concert at the tabernacle on
Christmas, sends in the following:
To the Editor of The Herald:
VIII you kindly permit me to state
through the columns of your paper that
Madame Nordica has cancelled her en-
gagement with me and that she can
not appear here on Christmas night as
advertised. I regret exceedingly that
am compelled to disappoint your pub
lie, but it is no fault of mine. I made
a contract about three months ago
with Madame Nordica's agents, Messrs.
Ruben and Andrews of New York, for
a western concert tour, and have sue
ceeded in booking her in most of the
principal cities west of the Missouri
river. 4as
Madame Nordica wires she has closed
a deal for this section with Klaw &;
| Erlanger. LEE WILSON.
Salt Lake City, Dec. 8, 1896.
Nordica'S managers have made a
mistake, not only in cancelling the
Christmas engag cement, but in taking
the management of the concert, if it is
ever given here al all, out of Mr. Will
sons hands, as will be demonstrated
later on.
The proceeding SO far shows the
worst kind of bad faith on the part of
the eastern management, and does not
augur we'll for the success of the
western tour
