There was another big audience at
the Grand Opera House last night, an
audience which was alternately laugh
ing and applauding for more than two
hours and q half There was but one
verdict, that Gus Hill brought his best
vaudeville attraction to this city last.
The boxing bout of the Speck dWarfs
was lively, and caught on so we'll that
another round was given. The very
clever horizontal bar work Of Rice and
Elmer merited the enthusiastic recall
which it received. Leonard and Ber-
nGrd scored a hit with their pOtpourTi
Of fun. Montgomery and Stone gave
the most novel terpsichOrean act ever
seen on local stage. In fact every
act was a feature, and the entertain
ment was refined throughout. 4 spec
ial ladies matinee will be given this
afternoon, and the engagement will
close tonight. Seats at the box office.
