One of the best entertainments of its
kind that ever came to DEBORAH was
the w. w. Dayton show at Steyer's
opera house last Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings. SO many of this class
of entertainments are of an inferior
grade that the general public steer clear
of them; but the Dayton show is a con-
sinuous performance Of interesting
specialties from beginning to end. He
must indeed have been pessimist who
attended the shows here without enjoy
ing many hearty daughters, as well as
securing much food for thought.
There was only small audience
Wednesday night, but Thursday night
the house was packed, and all heartily
enjoyed the performance. Weare glad to
give this troupany compliment we can,
as so many like It, in appearance, are
bogus, and as 10 Consequence most of
them are not literally patronized by
