AMUSEM ENTS.

A large number OF friends accom-
panied the Salt Lake Opera company
to Ogden last night, on the special
which went up over the Oregon Short
Line at 6:25. Manager Clark of the
opera house there had everything in
readiness and the good people of Og-
den turned out in force to hear the
Chimes of Normandy and judging
from the frequent applause which
marked the performance. they were as
much pleased with the presentation as
We're the people here. Each member of
the cast as soon as known Were ac-
corded hearty reception and the
magnificent work of the chorus
brought forth an ovation in one or two
instances. 1t was not generally known
that Heber S. Goddard had been work
ing all day to counteract the effects OF
cold which bid fair to unfit him for
the work of his role, but such was the
case and those who knew 1t, were
agreeably surprised at the very ac-
ceptable way in which he handled his
difficult role. Miss Fisher improves
with each succeeding appearance and
her splendid voice and more graceful
stage presence adds greatly to the
other strong features of the opera.
John ID. Spencer received an enthusi-
astic curtain recall for his splendid

while Geo ID. Piper was warmly well

hit; everything in fact was hugely en-
joyed and the receipts of the Ogden
performance will add materially TO the
company's fund. The run to this city
was made in Just forty-seven minutes
just in time to catch the last cars for
home.
