observation-disclosures of the
Papers from cities Visited.
The University Girls Glee and Man
dolin club returned at noon Sunday
from its first tour of the state, having
visited Hanna, Rawlins, Green River,
Evanston, Kemmerer and Rock
Springs, in each city receiving a warm
welcome and giving perfect satisfac-
ton to its audiences. While the nan
cial end of the trip was a little to the
bad, there was nothing bad about the
social and artistic feature, and the
young ladies and their managers, Mrs.
Soule as director and Mrs. Root as bus
mess manager, have every reaso to
feel satisfied with the success they
achieved.
Benefit Entertainment at Home,
Already there is talk of a benefit en-
tertainment at home t o relieve the
slight financial stress and at the same
time express the appreciation of the
good the young women did as perform
ers for the benefit of the university
and the appreciation held of them by
the people of the city. The plan as al
ready mentioned is an entertainment
at one of the opera houses, with In eff
fort to fill every e and add some.
what to the depleted treasury of the
society.
z Bachelors Had EN- in Hand.
: While lone of the girls was captured
outright, and not n of them will OPP
emily boast of each individual contest,
it is not dead sure hat some were not
to capitulate. If they were not,
it vas in no wise the fault of the young
men along the route, who certainly did
nobly in entertaining "our" girls. They
arranged receptions and dances, sup
pers n breakfasts, and when Mrs.
Soule returned at loon yesterday she
had a veritable armful of pink and
white carnations. At Rawlins the
Bachelors club met the girls at the de-
pot yestherday morning and took them
to breakfast.
Had Dainty Luncheon.
Mrs. Soule carried a pigs foot in a
paper bag when she alighted from the
train here, but she says the luncheon
served by the young men was every
thing that could be nice and the menu
d~aintiness itself. At Rock Springs the
bachelor young men of the city arrang-
ed a reception and dance for the girls,
and there were social attentions at
Green River, Evanston, Kemmerer and
Hanna, as already told in these col
umns.
Papers Kind to Them.
The papers in the cities visited by
the club were uniformly nice in their
comments, showing that the young Ia
dies had met every expectation and
more. The Republican has been at
some pains to clip some of the excerpts
from the articles printed, which are
given below with credit to each paper.
An Agreeable Entertainment.
The people of Evanston who assem-
bled at the lara last Thursday were
entertained in a very agreeable manner
by the young ladies comprising the
Girls Glee and Mandolin club of the
ton, pianist, and Miss Breisch, reader,
says the Evanston News-Register.
The program rendered by these
young people was of a miscellaneous
character consisting of selections by
both clubs, i~nterspersed with readings
by Miss Breisch and a solo by Mr.. Hun
ton. Approaching the fact that the
lGlee club was singing under adverse
circumstances, and with all apologies
which are u these young ladies, it is
only correct to say that the work Of
fered by this part of the organization
was not VI to the standard of that set
by the Mandolin club. The efforts of
the young ladies in that respect is GER
tainly worthy the highest commenda-
ton.
Hunton With the Rest.
The piano solos by Mr.. Hunton were
well received Notwithstanding the fact
that he too was performing under diff
fculties.
Miss Breisch in her reading of Ben
Hur" held her auditors from begin
ming to end, and received the approba-
ton of the house in an enthusiastic
round of applause.
Taken as a whole the entertainment
was a decided success, and it certainly
speaks volums for the participants as
well as for the institution represented
by them.
1t is hoped that we might again have
the pleasure of hearing this %organiza-
ton of college young people.
Mas a Delightful Treat.
The University Glee club has come
and gone and the musical entertain
ment given by them on Wednesday ev-
ening was a delightful treat and thor
oughly enjoyed by all present, says the
Green River Star, and while we do not
pose as a musical critic yet the music
rendered was mighty pleasing to our
ears and the charming modest ways
Of the sweet girls was a sight well
worth seeing. l only regret that the
house was not crowded as it was an
entertainment that deserved the attend
ance of every one, and should they
drop this way again We can promise
them a better turnout such as they de-
serve.
Miss Durnford Entertains.
A reception was given at the home of
Miss Cora Durnford Thursday evening
from 8 until Z o'clock, in honor of the
