The biggest house OF the season greeted
the Texas Steer at the Crawford Grand

and the performance was fine. Every
thing was up to the Hoytian standard,
and the performance was pleasing in
every way and afforded plenty of health

one Of the most enthusiastic that has been
in the opera house for years. The play
represents the evolution of a Texas states

the sweetness of being in office The fam
lily soon acquires the manners of good So
ciety. The young officer who courted the
cattle kings daughter in Texas. but was
ashamed TO appear with her on the streets
Of Washington, soon finds out to his sor-
row that Italian counts and English lords
are ready to marry the girl ne lost on ac-
count Of his stupidity.
The congressman is roped in by lobby
lists into various land grant and railroad
schemes. and a committee comes up from
Texas TO investigate his course. The next
election being near at hand the congress-
man is frightened. but the Texas steering
committee is well taken care of. The
