The llrst number was un overture by the Union Paciffo band , under the leadership of Mr. I'1. Hhyner , The band was at itsbestund rendered excellent music , but the size of the hall detracted very materially from the ef fect. fect.The The chancellor commander of the lodge , Mr. James Ferris , then addressed u few re marks to the audience , welcoming them to the entertainment , after which ho introduced Mr. E. IJoscwatcr , who addressed the audi ence at sorno length , preceding his remarks by the statement Unit lie had not suqposed he was to make a lengthy address , and therefore had not prepared himself for such a contin gency. Ho had been elected a charter mem ber of one of the lodges , ho said , but had never been initiated , and , could not , therefore , sjwak from experience of the benefits , etc. , of tlio order. The motto of the order , "Friend ship , Charity and Benevolence , " was very ex pressive , said he , and one which would up- qeal to the humane- sentiment in every man. Mr. Hosewater then dwelt briefly upon the principles and teachings of the order and the marvelous growth it had exhibited. Although it was only twenty-six years old it had spread over the entire civilized and semi-civilized world ; Tlio endowment rank was also re ferred to and it's advantages shown. The speaker closed by a reference to the touching story of Damon and Pythias and the lesson sought to be exemplified in the teach ings of the order. Mr. Kosewater's speech was followed by a reading by Mr. Louis Buchr.

The rather long programme was concluded with a sleight of hand performance by Pro fessor Anderson , "which was very amusing. The floor was then cleared , und dancing was the order of the hour until after mid night. A MUHJHIKX'fS. Hoyt's "A Hole in the Ground , " was played at Boyd's ' opera house last night to a large and noisily enthusiastic audience , It is the same very funny old farce comedy , with Frank Luwton and his famous whistle as the station agent ; Miss Katie Hunt for lunch counter girl , Miss Blanch Nichols as the pert telegraph operator , Harry U. Stanley , doing the Stranger , and a lot of clever actors in the other parts. Harry Gilfoil mid Harry McDonald played the hotel i\ipcrs-in to per fection , while Miss Hart and Miss Humsden distinguished themselves dancing. Miss Nichols made quite a reputation a few years ago in summer opera at St. Louis , doing what was then called tlio luui-tum dance. With one exception , Stanley , the com pany is stronger , and especially in the special ties , than when last here. Julian Mitchell still makes the baseball mascot , a good fea ture , and W. H. Jordan does "tho boy anxious to bo a railroad man" very well. Lu.wton had four recalls on his whistling act and Miss Kamsdeii was compiled to repeat her hurrah Jig no less than three times , regardless of the fact that she threw the heel off one of her shoes.
