a MUSEMENTS.

The Wilbur kirwin company jumped
from opera into vaudeville and min
strelsy last night, and created an i'm
preston likely to last longer by many
weeks in the public mind than any
operate work produced.
The performance would have done
credit 10 some of the best organizations
travelling. From any point of view, it
excelled. It is the very thing a man,
woman and child want to attend on
such sweltering nights as these, not
only for the hilarious amusement there
is in it, but to drink in the beauty Of
the spectacular features which go to
make IL genuine. 1t makes you forget
the hot weather.
The curtains were drawn aside last
night on a transformation scene which,
for its quality, was reminiscent of the
days Of HendersOn's extravaganza. A
brilliant lot Of costumes and pretty
girls made the picture dazzling.
When the opening chorus was sung,
the house clamOred for a repetition.
and from then on, all through the long
bill, every single song, chorus, act and
specially. received thunderOus encores-
The truth is there was more enthu-
siasm uncOrzed at the Palace last night
than ever before.
The ballads Of the first part which
seemed most popular were those by Mr..
HUFF and Mr.. Abbott, while the versa
tile KOhnIe's coon songs went like Wild
FIRE.
The second part, or olio. began with
the illustrated songs sung by Mr.. Mel
Tor, who was one Of the features of the
night and a genuine surprise. Miss
Taylor added some negro ditties which
were well received, and "A Little Tin
Soldier" song and march, by d dozen
of the pretty chorus girls, came in for
another enthusiastic encore.
The beautiful seXtette from "FlOro-
dora known as TELL Me, Pretty
Maiden" which is. the stock in trade of
many Orehestras of the country. was
done for the first time in Salt Lake. 1t
was well done, too. but can be i'm
proved upon with practice. The Nichols
twin sisters. Mr.. KOhnle in an indi-
vidual turn and the march of the hus-
sars concludes the bill.
The llgh- attendance last night was
due. of course, to the opening of the
street fair. If the Palace is not crowded
for the remainder OF the week, a whole
lot Of people viii miss a splendid en-
tertainment and one deserving of big
patronage.

DEFECTIVE DINING TABLES.
They Give Man No Chance to

Gross His Legs.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.)
4 have discovered a very great de-
feet in the architecture Of the dining
table. remarked an epfCure yesterday.
and the defect is universal. L have
found in my time but very few tables
built after my ideal, and il seems to
me that some man interested in matters
OF this sort ought TO start a revolution
along these lines When 1 sit down TO
a meal 1 want to rest. Eating and
resting ought TO go together. Restful
ness at meal time. absolute comfort at
the table and gOod food of the whole

mend themselves to most men.
Now, l have what / may call
mealtime hobby. I always want to cross
my legs under the table Most men
do. J believe And why nOt2 1t is a
comforta bic position. 1t enables one to
SIT more erect too, at the table. gives
one a more graceful pose. I do not
know what etiquette says about ones
legs and feet during meal time but I
suppose II goes no further than to sug-
EeSt that they should be kept under
the table, which is correct. l ween. But
1 insist that among my inalienable
rights is the right TO cross my legs
and to cross them under the mahogany
al that If it pleases me to do so AMI
adds to my comfort
And yet it is fact that one rarely
enjoys this gracious privilege because
OF the awkward, grOtesQue and unhap-
py architecture of the dining table. The
tables ought to be differently made
They ought to be roomier. so that a
fellow would have ample space in
which TO cross his legs il it please him
to do so OF course, if one does not
want to cross ones legs at meal times
one need not do it. so the change could
do no harm"
