The concert given last night by the
Imperial Military Band was a success
in point Of the excellence of the num-
bers presented and the ability mani
tested in their execution, but the at
tendance was not az large as the boys
anticipated and deserved, the furious
storm early in the evening accounting
no doubt for the absence of some who
feared to brave the elements. Miss
Burke, who has been honored with the
designation. 1.-The sweet singer of Lara
ME-" adds to her reputation with each
successive appearance. She was in
admirable voice last night, and her
rendition of Arditi's I'll Bacio' was
received with tumultuous applause.
For an encore she sang, "The Last
Rose of Summer" also with band &C
compartment. AS to the band mum
bers, opinion was divided according
to the temperament of the listeners,
but the civilian Tell overture (Ros-
sini) and the descriptive Indian Sun
Dance" were very popular pieces. The
usual dance succeeded the concert,

the organization served coffee and cake
on the stage during the remainder Of
the evening.
Miss Annie Haley is a visitor to the
city, having come up from Denver to
attend the party at Mrs. C%ongdon's
asst night.
The dance in the gymnasium which
was given in honor of the Colorado
university boys Tuesday evening was
a very pleasant affair. Mr.. Clyde Ath-
erly offciated as floor manager. for the
Informal order of dances which had
been arranged, and the Wyoming men
lid everything in their power to make
t pleasant for their guests, introducing
h, m to Our sweetest girls end most
graceful dancers with prodigal hos
pitality. AS for the young ladies'
imagine an occasion when their W
jolly coterie of partners was augment
ed by the addition of thirty more just
as agreeable! The Colorado clubs
added to the laurels won by the organ
cations at their visit last season, not
only in the excellence of the program
rerdared, but also in their admirable
conduct All the fascinating vigor
and verve of youth and of college life
a abundantly in evidence, but it
was accompanied by a dignity of de
meanor which vas even more praise
worthy. Surely the state universities
of the sister commonwealth have just
reason to be proud of their representa-
tives, and it scarcely requires a pro
phetic eye to predict great things for
the future when these young men take
up the mighty work Of developing the
interior region which the present gen.
| Grafton must sooner or later place in
their hands.
The Owl club gave a delightful
dancing party in North Star hall Thurs.
day evening, complimentary to Mr.. and
Mrs. A. c. Jupp and Mr.. and Mrs. c.
II. Colt, whose removal to Pueblo will
be sincerely deplored especially by
this exclusive coterie of young peo-
pie.
Much interest is being manifested
in the Woman's exchange which has
recently been opened under the man
agement of Mrs. Kern. The exquisite
pieces of ~needlework, china, ETC., are
