In BOZemdn.
Bozeman, Dec. 25.-Chrstmas week
commenced with q musicale given by
Mesdames L. A. Luce, j. A. Luce and
Miss Luce at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. John Luce on Black street, on
Monday evening. The event was one of
the most successful and entertaining
OF any given during the season, and
BoZeman society was well represented
some lao invitations having been sent
out, the majority of which were accept
cd. Each guest on arriving was pre-
sented with a dainty little programme
printed On light blue card. The sew
erdl events of the programme were Very
efitciently rendered by each and all of
the performers, but the hit of the eve
ming was made by John Walsh with his
encore, sweet Kentucky Babe" which
brought down the house, especially
when Mr. Walsh was presented with a
''niSEer doll' by one OF the audience
After the rendition OF the events sched-
ufed, Judge Luce sang a medley of
nursery songs, without accompaniment
much to the delight of the guests, as
the judge very seldom sings, even to
please his most intimate friends. Re-
freshments of a light and delicious ma
ture We're served after the programme
had been rendered. The musicale ended
with the singing of comic songs by a
quartette composed of Messrs. Currer,
Walsh, and Lieutenant Ahern, accom-
panied by John Luce. The guest of the
evening was Governor Smith, who
stopped off in Bozeman for the day on
his way home from the East. The fol-
lowing programme was given:

sage Miss May Maxey: Spring Song,

Miss Calvin gave a recital in the
rooms of the musical department of the
Agricultural college last Friday even
ing. The many events on the pro-
gramme were render ed by the students,
assisted by few of the faculty and
some outside friends. A recital is al
ways given at the end of the winter
term and a concert at the end of the
spring term by the members of the mu-
steal department. both of which are
looked forward to by lovers of music.

\ dance was given in the Armory hall
last Saturday night by a few of the
college boys and girls. AS il was entire.
ly an impromptu affair the attendance
was not large, but it gave an opportu-
nifty for those wishing to be initiated
into the mysteries of the fascinating
waltz to get started without inconNeni-
ence to themselves or others.
The BoZeman band boys are practic-
ing hard for their concert and amateur
theatricals to take place on Jan. 4. The
Bozeman people are not given to theat-
ricals, except perhaps minstrel show,
and so this new departure from the
beaten tracks will work advantageous
ly to the benefit of the band, at least, it
is to be hoped 50, as the boys deserve
encouragement
The ladies of the Catholic church held
a church fair in the annex of the Boze-
man hotel on Tuesday. Wednesday and
Thursday of this week for the purpose
of raising funds in aid of the contem-
plated new church which will be erect
ed in the near future. The fair was a
success both financially and otherwise.

$500. The booths were four in number,
the doll counter being presided over by
Mrs. James Johnson; the plain sewing
stall by Mrs. Kountz. the fancy work
booth by Miss Gary and Mrs. j. Kane,
and the candy store by Mrs. Hielman.
The decorations We're both lavish and
beautiful. and the effect of the chrysan-
themums. many-colored roses, and
snowballs turned the rooms into Il Veri-
table Eden. and when the fair was lit
up by lamps with shades of many hues
its beauty was greatly enhanced The
refreshment department was under the
charge of Mrs. Don Johnson. who saw
that the wants of all corners We're sup
piled with the best that money could
procure She was assisted by the
younger ladies of the church. and great
praise is due to all for their kind solicit
tations for the wants of others. The

from Livingston. who collected S35. a
