town that the Colorado College Glee
club would give q concert in Canon
City this coming April, there was
great joy and delight in all the hearts
of the people who went to the concert
given by this same club here last
year. The club won the favor Of
everyone last year, not only BY being
perfect gentlemen, but on account
of the rare concert they gave in this
city.
Mr.. Hamlin, the present manager,
arrived in town last Saturday and by
his generous proposition, made it
possible for the Y.P.SC.E., Of the
First Presbyterian church to take the
Glee club. and so a contract was
signed, which will bring the club to
this city, April 9Th. The welcome
the boys will get in Canon City this

season. The opera house will not be

should secure their tickets early and
thereby be sure Of good scat.
The Y.P.S.C.E. is to be csngratu-
