Durango was never more highly for
entertainment than that which was
given to them under the auspices OF
the Elks Lodge No. 80 at the opera
house last night. A large and ettent-
i've as well as appreclative and enthu-
siastic audience gathered to listen to
the Cosgroye Orchestra Company of

was of so delightful character that
1t seems almost unjust and well nigh
impossible TO give special mention of
any one number. The violin solo from
"Lurline' by Carrie Louise Ferguson
soprano solo by Miss Anna Adams. "In
Sunny Spain" was received with much
enthusiasm by the audience. both la
dies kindly answering encores. The
mandolin solo by Harry Woods wa.
earhaps the hit of the evening the
ment, as well as the music he OBJ
tanned from 1t. was surprise and nov
city to all. The musical novelties-
rattles, Swis bells and chimes quar-.
te tte-were new to Durango. and add
ed to the enjoyment OF the whole en-.
the thanks of the citizens for bringing
to our city this notable company, and
the Cosgrove Orchestra Company will
always be sure of a welcome to our
midst
