WHAT THE GALLIPOLIS TRIBUNE
SAYS ABOUT CAPT, ENER-
SONS RIVER SHOW.
The Golden Rod, Which viii be
Here Wednesday, June Sd.

The best river show ever given at
the Gallpolis wharf was that on the
Golden Rod showboat last night,
and it was hugely enjoyed by the
audience The play was "Thc Trail
of the Lonesome Pine" which was
well PERFORMED on an ample stage,
handsomely equipped with scenery,
and by an excellent company.
Between the acts a number of
clever spccialtics were put on. In
one of thcm-a dairy sCcnc-musical
results of most entertaining char
actcr were secured from cows, rakcs
and other farm proprictics. Another
lively act was the "Black and Tan
business put on by n very clever
man and woman.
Next to the play itself, the tango
dancers won the most applause of
all the five vaudeville stunts. They
were as good as one can see in any
first-class city cabaret, if not better.
All in all the show was the best ever
presented here on the river, and far
better than many high priced per
formanccs during the regular season
Capt. Emerson is to be congratulated
on his offering to the amuscment-lov,
ing public His boat is the largest
and finest in the business, and the
captain himself, is prince of mana
gers. We predict great season fol
him.
