to large and cultured audience. To
say that Mr.. Day Is an artis. of first
rank in his peculiar line is but telling
what every one thinks after hearing
him. He Is most certainly genius. and
the audience was In a good humor from
first 10 last. He commenced the PERFORM
ancc by suggesting that 1t was very
difficult to tell story right. It takes q
good teller and good listener. Some
times 1t Is hard to see the point. The
Irish and the American can generally
see the point. The English are very
slow sometimes to see 1t. His recitation
OF ]. Whitcomb Riley's II Haint Got
Nothln' to Say" was so natural that
the audience was fairly carried away
with the pathos. His short stories
showing the different natural character
istlcs were SO funny that the audience
was kept In an uproar all the time. The
initiation OF the old farmer in the
country store was simply unimltablc,
while the Irish song, though not so full
OF melody. was full OF fun for the boys.
The Germans after dinner speech was
very affecting. From one character to
another the audience was CARRIED until
they scarcely knew whether the same
person was giving the entertainment.
