Reception at the Lyceum

THE evening reception at the Ly-
ceum was a notable event for
many reasons. One of these
was the wonderful ovation rendered TO
Lieutenant Governor j. p. s. Goblin. the
old commander Of the Third brigade,
Ihe mere mention of his name at any
time during the meeting provoked a
storm of applause and when he was in
troduced as one of the speakers Of the
evening by Chairman Watres the Oval
ton he received was truly marvellous,
1t left no doubt Of the generals popu-
larltV with the men who served under
him.
The interior of the I.yGcum fairly
blaZed with the national colors. Right
ly enough, it was the only thing in the
way of decoration used. From the
centre Of the prosCenium arch great
ribbons Of red, white and blue radiated
To different points on the upper gallery.
The gallery, balcony and boxes were
fairly swathed in the national coors,
and the rear and sides Of the stage
were framed with monster flags.
y large silk American flag covered
the speakers desk, which stood in the
centre Of the stage close to the foot
lights. When Bauers band took its
place in the orchestra pit at $50 the
theatre was only about half filled. but
later the audience increased largely in
size and the theatre was thrOnged. AS
the opening number Bauers band
played the "Thirteenth Regiment
March" in a way that reelected high
credit on that excellent organization.
