that Lewiston is not without her

had gone forth that the contest
would take place during the third
performance, and that it would be
in addition to the regular program,
but that fact did not deter the pat
rons Of the house from packing thu
little theater during the first and
second performances until standing
room was not even to be had, and
many persons were turned away, un-
able even to obtain entrance to the
house. Long before the time for. the
amateurs to make their appearance
every available inch Of space was
filled with a good-natured audience,
and when Manager Davenport
stepped before the curtain and nam

it would have been impossible to get
