ENTERTAINMENT
NUMBER THREE

The Grand Rapids lecture course
consisting of six entertainments gave
their third program at the opera
house last evening consisting of a
concert by the Dunbar Company.
To all appearances these entertain
ments are appreciated by the people
of Grand Rapids, and it has already
been demonstrated that high grade
entertainment will meet with liberal
support in our city.
We feel safe in saying that the
next two entertainments will be the
best of the course The Dunbar
Company'S bell ringing was easily the
superior of anything of the kind ever
heard in this city. This entertain
ment is pronounced by our best and
most competent citizens a decided
success in every particular.
