Monday evening, went like hot cakes.
The fame of the company's perform
ance in Augusta had gone abroad
throughout the camp and everybody
wanted to see the show. And those
people in Augusta and Gardiner who
had not seen it and who were fortunate
enough to receive invitations to be the
guests of the officers in their boxes ac-
cepted with alacrity. 1t was a bril-
liant gathering and an evening thor
oughly enjoyed from the commandant
of the post down to the last newly ar
rived member. 1t is unnecessary to
particulariZe regarding the features of
the show itself, for the success of the
piece here was but the repetition of
that in Augusta, last week.
