THE CARNIVAL BENEFIT. = The
Plnafore' opening and the Piper testi-
monial now being out of the way, the
thoughts OF amusement lovers are now all
centered on the big dramatic performance
at the theatre Tuesday evening next in
aIu OF the carnival fund. The fact that

Mrs. y. NJ. Royle and Mr. Milton Lipp-
man, Thespians who are here for a rest.
nave consented to appear without charge
LOT the big cause, and that so attractive
d programme has been arranged, surely
ought TO appeal to all Salt Lakers to turn
out and make the financial end of the en-
terprlse as notable a success as the ar
tlst,c one is. sure to be. The box Office
opens for the sale of seats this morning.
THE PIPER TESTIMONIAL. = Mr..
George d. Piper, the popular tenor sing
en- mad reason to feel very proud last
evening. Between 800 and 700 people came
out in his honor at the Assembly hall,
ana mace up as pretty ana representative
Oh audience as the town could furnish.
rms ON not summer night 4; something
mat speaks volumes for his popularity.
Inc hall was well ventilated, and despite
me neat no one seemed to suffer any in
convenience. The platform was tastefully
arranged with floral plants and bunting,
ana presented very handsome appear
ance. AS Tor the programme of nine num-
every one OF Athem had to be responded
10, either with an encore or a bow. The
quartette of Kathleen Mavourneen"
opened the bill, and introduced Mr.. Pyper,
VINO got a big reception; with Messrs
hltney, Patrick and Spencer he was re-
called, and the quartette gave the taking
Sally in Our Alley as an encore
Mrs. Edward was immensely applauded
Tor her artistic rendition of 1.-The Lover
and the Bird" and she, too, had to yield
an encore. One of the gems of the night
Was the four-handed piano piece played
by those two admirable performers, Miss
Sharp and Miss Romney, LISTS Rhap-
sody, last heard here by Paderewski, was
eXcellently rendered, and being called out
again, the young ladies gave the "Wlniam
Telf' overture Mr.. Pyper's solo was
an encore he gave the very pretty song,
THE Miller's Daughter" Mr. Weihe and
Mr.. Darlington of course woke the echoes
and the vfolinist has seldom rendered the
bowed his acknowledgements but would
not yield an encore. Mr. Goddard sang
Even Bravest Hearts, from Faust in
his own vigorous way, and for an encore

Pyper and Mr.. Ensign. from 'Attela,"
was very artistic, and they, too, were |
brought back to bow. Mr.. Brigham |
singing caused the main ovation of the
night, and deservedly so. He has given |
Goetzs 30 Happy Day" in Salt Lake be- !
fore but never to better advantage than |
last evening, being thunderously re-
called. He gave the tender and very pop
ular Linden Tree in his best style. The |
Orpheus club wound up the programme in
grand style by rendering "The Image of
the Rose with solo by Mr.. Piper, who |
did his best work of the night in it. This
was the hit of their recent concert, and |
their consenting to repeat it for Mr.. Py-
pers benefit was g, very graceful compli-
II ,al, tod n
Stephens was in evidence as general over
seer. tTs
PINAFORE-Th performance of 'Pin-
afore" given at Saltair last evening was
in all respects a success The chorus was
exceptionally fine and the principals,
without exception, gave very cretitable
Of the roles assigned them.
Miss Truax as Josephine was revelation
to every one. Her sweet, rich voice rang
out over the water with power and clear
ness difficult to excel, and her acting was
all that could be desired. Mr.. Blakemore's
Sir Joseph Porter was a fine piece of
work, and it is very evident that his
opportunities on the lyric, stage are equal
His rendition of the familiar role was
appreciated, and his singing
was clear and distinct
Mr. Weiner as Ralph was excellent. Mr..
Dougall as Captain Corcoran sang beau
tifuly and acted well. Miss Nichols as
Buttercup, Mr.. Scrace as Dick Deadeye,
Mr.. James as the Boatswain, and little
Jack Richards as the MILDLY, and the en-
was anticipated, considering the short
time allowed for the preparation of the
piece. .t--
The production was an immense success,
and it is very certainI hat,a. continuation
of the performances would add greatly
TO the pleasures to bederived from a, visit
to beautiful Saltair. ~
One thing that added greatly to last
nights entertainment was the weather,
which was perfect.

aggregating about 100000 will be paid

heir claims in the newly organized
