ARIONS in BLACKJACK.
The German Singing Society Makes
Success of MinstrelsY.

The Arion society last evening gave
a pleasing amateur minstrel show to
a bout 800 Germans and their immediate
friends at their hall on Kansas avenue.
The hall was seated with chairs and the
performance was given from the stage
a the east end of the hail.
Steinberg's REINFORCED orchestra fur
nished the music which would have
done credit TO a professional minstrel
band. Their prelude was received with
special favor.
The minstrels were called "Primwest
&, Rose Minstrels."
The first part was well put on the
Jokes being fair and the songs generally
yoood Chas. Schnaibel was the inter
locutor, and around him in circle were
Tom Miller, VIM. Seibold, Milt Dwelly,
Harry Bush, Albert Vail, and the three

There were several topical songs and
ballads given the ones deserving spec
ial mention being Starlight, Starbright"
sung by Harry Bush; My Gals High
Born Lady, sung by VIM. SeiboId, and
Bill Johnson, the Monkey and the Da-
CO." by Henry Gutsch.
J. Gutsch and Milt Dwelly had a
pleasing eccentric sketch in blackface,
which was well received. Albert 'FoWlxes
made the hit of the evening in his mono
logue.
The performance closed with a one
act comedy, entitled Our o. NJ b.
This was a piece in blackface, the
scene of which was laid in an Q. NJ. B.
lodge. There was no particular plot to
it, but the initiation of a new member
from the rural districts pleased the
audience
After the performance the hall was
cleared and there was dancing.

M1DLAND's NEW ENGINES.
They Do Away With the Necessity of
Two Over Stiff Grades.

Denver. March 16.-Yesterday the
first trial was made on the Colorado
Midland railroad of the new locomo-
tives upon the regular passenger runs
out from Colorado City over the Ute
pass grades to Divide station Recent
ly the railroad bought five new 1ocomo-
tiveS of a larger and more modern pat
tern than the standard formerly used.
and they have been gradually broken
into service. The test yesterday was
satisfactory and the railway officials
are very much delighted with the
showing made
The grades through Ute pass are very
steep and the curves sharp. At some
places the line ascends at the rate of
about $50 feet to the mile. 1t has al
ways been found necessary in the past
to employ two locomotives from Color
ado City to Divide upon regular pas
senger trains, and yesterday was the
first attempt to do the same work with
one engine. The new locomotive climb
ed the grades with the greatest of ease
and puffed through the tunnels as if it
was an easy trick, arriving at Divide
station two minutes ahead of schedule
time. At no point on the route did the
locomotive indicate that the task was
hard one; il made time at every point
and worked as a good machine should
work.
