A FINE ENTERTAINMENT
The Best Musical That Has
Been Given During the
Season

The people of this section were
given "a rare treat in the Layton
Church last Tuesday night when
under the direction of Prof. William
Moore Clayton, the Philharmonic
Society, composed of sixty voices,
three violins, piano, organ, brass
and other instruments, gave a musi-
cal entertainment of eighteen num-
bers. Besides these voices and in
struments, he was assisted by sew
eral young elocutionists, whose rem
ditions were good and well received.
The church was filled with an en-
thusiastic audience, and all present
were well repaid for the time and
money spent.
The singing and music were beau
tiful and plainly showed excellent
talent, as well as careful and scien-
tific training. There never has been
an entertainment given in the val
ley more meritorious or better re-
ceived than this one.
The proceeds will be devoted to
the improvement of the Mormon
Church and grounds.
Mr.. Clayton expects to give the
entertainment in different towns
of the valley, the money to go to
the Academy No one can afford
to miss hearing it.
