Mr. J. W. Lowry. proprietor of ths Lowry
hotel st Fort Crook, entertained nineteen
of ths officers of tbs reglmsnt and their
wives at dinner at ths hotel just before
ths regiment departed.
Haay Bid Theas Farswelt
A large number of Omaha people were at
ths Fort to bid ths departing regiment
good-bye, as was a host of friends and
relatives of ths men. A number of ths en
listed men were married men and soms
very affecting scenes were witnessed as
ths command boarded ths ears. Ths school
at Fort Crook turned out entnsass to join
in tbs general farewells.
Ths troops first loaded their effects dur
ing ths morning snd Immediately after
noon mess the regiment was formed for
parade snd review on tbe parade grounds
for ths last time. Then forming In com
pany front ths two bsttalllons, headed by
Colonel Wygant snd his personal - staff,
marched across ths parade ground to the
road In front of the officers' quarters, and
with ths band plsyhig and regimental
colors flying, formed Into columns of fours
snd marched down ths whits road to ths
quartermaster and commissary depots,
where ths trains were la waiting. As ths
command passed the last of the officers'
quarters, all marching on foot. Including
Colonel Wygant and his staff, ths band,
after playing the national airs, struck up
Tbs Olrl I Left Behind Ms," followed
with "Auld Lang Syne."
A great crowd had assembled st ths
quartermaster snd commissary depots la
the shade of ths buildings snd as ths regi
ment passed, ths colors defiantly waving
and ths band playing "Auld Lang Syne,M
the cheers of men were mingled with the
tears and sobs of women st ths realisation
that ths Twenty-second waa leaving Fort
Crook, perhaps forever. Some mothers hsd
corns from distant states snd distant homes
to bid their boys good-bye, and wives,
sweethearts and sisters of ths depsrting
boys gave a sombreneas to ths scans by
their tears snd affectionate good-byes that
recalled the war days of long sgn.
The troupe were quickly loaded onto ths
cars snd In less than sn hour from tbe
time of the parade the two trains were
whirling away toward the setting sun. As
ths trains pulled out cheers and waving
handkerchiefs were strictly in evidence, and
even after ths trains had disappeared down
ths cut ts ths southwest ths farewell
cheers of ths vanishing comma ad were
wafted back on ths afternoon breeze.
Women lingered at ths track from where
the troops departed, condoling with each
other, and tbs general verdict was that
the Twenty-second boys were a pretty
good set of fellows and everybody bated to
ses mem go.
Klad Wards far Oaaaha.
A few moments prior to the departure
of the regiment Cokxtsl Wygant said ts a
Bee reporter: We sincerely regret to
leave Fort Crook. It ts hks a horns to
every man of ths raglmeat. sad. In fact, ths
Twanty-secoad Is la snany respects a Ne
braska regtmeat, Ws shall always cherish
most affectionate reeard for the tr'
of Omaha, and I wish Ths Bee would con
vey to the "people of Omaha ths kindest
regards of ths regiment both officers snd
men. We may come back soms day. but I
rei n is aoumrui. However, we snsu
never forget the kind, good p people of
Omaha, and say ts tneta for us, a long
and loving goodbye."
This Is ths third tkne that the Twenty-
second has left Fort Crook for sctlvs
sen-Ice la the field; once for Cuba, at ths
outbreak of tbs Spsnlsh-Amertcan war.
and twice for the far-off Philippines.
Ths departure of the Twenty-second

perfectneas of Mr. Jefferson's performance.
Ons may easily believe his statement, oft
repeated, that hs loves Bob nsxt to Rip.
Long may hs bs spared to delight the
American public with his conceptions of ths
two greatest of comedy characters, which
he has made so essentially his own.
Less than perfection from Joseph Jeffer-
soa would surprise his audiences, snd ths
DeoDls have cosos ts expect almost as
much of ths actors whs ars associated
with htm In his hrlef seasons. Admitting
this, it is putting it mildly to say that
tbs audience last night was most agree-
sbly surprised and delighted by soms of
the features of the performance, so
strongly did they stand out sbovs even
what waa looked for. Mr. John Jack,
sterling old actor that he la. and known
for more than a generation to western au
diences, never plsyed a part with mors
of unction and artistic seal than he put
into the character of Sir Anthony Abso
lute, and never was that character mors
acceptably presented. Mr. Jack's methods
srs those of ths Intelligent artist, and ths
results he obtains are triumphs of histri
onic ability. He fairly divided honors with
ths star last sight, winning his recogni
tion from tbs very start, and getting a
warm recall after Us second appearance
on ths scene.
Miss Ffolllott Paget, too. was a surpris
ing revelation. Her Mrs. Malaprop, with
ber slmperlngs snd affectations, her gran
dloss manners snd ridiculous speeches, was
a source of keenest pleasure. Miss Paget's
voice and manner ars of the sort that em
bellish any part snd lend themselves with
ready facility to a character such as she
had in hand last night Miss Pemberton's
Lydla and Miss Bender's Lucy are both
well conceived and excellently carried out,
ths young women adding the definite and
essential graoe of youth and beauty to
the parts offered them in ths play.
Mr. Winter's captain waa a model of
Impudence snd assurance and Mr. Coombs'
Faulkland was good for ths little thers
ts of It Mr. Plunkett ss David and Mr.
William Jefferson as Fag did their little
In a satisfactory manner. Tbs single
point on which a complaint might be fas
tened is Mr. Joseph Jefferson, Jr.'s Sir
Lucius O'Trlgger. Hs lacks much of the
unctious seal ons expects In the part; not
that Sir Lucius was not a polished and
most accomplished gentleman, but hs was
slso a man of much more energy than Mr.
Jefferson would have us believe. Mr. Sher
Idaa was undertaking to pillory a certain
faction of his countrymen when hs wrote
that part, snd had ns intention of making
it at all attractive. A fire-eater snd a for
tune-hunter, whose "mansion and dirty
acres" had slipped through his hands in
ths short course of a riotous life, Blr Lu
cius was not at ths time of his addressing
himself ta his "dearest Delia" a man of
much personal attraction and devoid of
brogue., Mr. Jefferson could essily amend
his part In this respect and not In ths
least detreet from ths excellence of the
whole performance of ,The Rivals"
