THE BOHEMIAN GIRL.

On Tuesday evening the above play
was presented at the opera house by
Wausau people. 1t was large audi
ence that greeted them and they were
not disappointed in the opera. Those
who took the principal parts as well as
the chorus rendered their parts in a
manner which would please the most
fastidious audience. Each act and solo
was heartily encored and went to show
that the Merrill people were lovers of
good music and appreeiative of the
opera. Too much praise cannot be
given this excellent company of Wau-
sau people and if we had the time and
space we would like to say something
good about each one who took part,
but we can say they were all good and
did themselves proud. We can assure
the ladies and gentlemen that if they
ever put on another opera and should
see fit to visit our city again they would
be greeted with a crowded houses
Cones orchestra accompanied the
players and rendered many fine selec-
tons in a truly artistic style which fairly
captivated those present.-Merrill
