Monday evening. the great commcdian
(luv Williams will appear at the Opera
House. in his new musicil comedv “Oh!
\Vhat a Night.“ Mr. Williamsis every-
lwlv‘s favorite. :md We predict one of
the largest audiences of the season to see
him in his new eongsaind rtcitalions.
The Louisville (‘ourier Journal says:
"liis new piece is from the pen of
tit-urge lloey. and is most amusing.
abouriding as it does with laughable
situations. The songs introduced last
night were new, and liberally applaud-
ed. The recitation of “A Lock of Hair“
proved quite a hit. the sudden change
“from grave to gay“ taking the audi~
once by surprise. Mr. \Villiams is sup
ported by a good company. and his tour
this season has been very successful,
under the management of Mr. John H.
Rtlbli,
“Bandit King."
J. ll. \YallIl-ks Bandit King (‘onibina-
tion. In which appears the: marvellously
trained horses "llziv Raider" and “Roan
l‘harger,“ is h Inked for the Opera House
next Friday evenlnz. This play was
given at the ”peril House about a year
ugn to a packed house. and was consid-
ered one of the most thrilling ever on
that stage. This year It comes enlarged
and Improved, and those who want good
seats should secure them at l‘laisteds at
once for 75 cents.
\\'e are Informed us we go to ress \ve
areiuformcd by Mr. Mitchell t at two
ti‘ined horses. " Texas " and “ A rabiau
Jim." have been added to the company.
The company bringsa car load of ma;
clunery.
“Uncle Tom‘s Cabin." as given by
Smith‘s Company ht Music Hall last
Monday evening. was the best presenta-
tion of the old and popular drama ever
made here. and was \vItt-essed by a very
large audience—all the hall could ac.
commodate. Probably no play has been
more abused by poor actors than “l'ucle
Tom's clout.“ lllllll iteoplc have come in
look upon most companies playing It as
very su~pthoII~g but they need have no
such apprehensions of Smith's company
now "taking a tour of the country. Lil.
tlc llettie “right. who plays “Eva" Is a
sweet child and an accomplished actress;
Miss lllinchc .\‘lzider is :In unsurpassed

however. they happily decided upon Mr.

installed in office when he nOtilicd the
club that he should change his residence
about April 1st and would have to re
sign. as he felt the constant attendance
ofthc chaplain at the meetings of the
club essential to its moral development
and general character. The club is
thereby involved in much trouble, as it
is admitted by all that no other member
is worthy to be his sucm‘ir. Strong
efforts are being made to have him with-
draw his resignation until some member

has come to light that the chaplain bits
purchased a trotting horse which he in
tends to take with him to his sut‘er
retreat in South Wilton. Those who
have seen the horse are nlmost sure that
it is the famous old king of the turf
“Hopeful.“ and it is now a serious ques-
tion whether it would not be better for
the club to accept Mr. Norvell's resigna-
tion than to take the chances of leaving
its re utation at the mercy ot‘ a chaplain
who as subjected himself to the temp-
tations or the ownership .of a traitor.
Many of the members Indignanily spurn
the imputation that their chaplain would
sofar orget what he owes to himself
and the club he represents its to race
horses. and “point filth pride” to his
record under circumstances far more
trying. Others are opposed to taking
any chances. holding that no man, be
hosaint or sinner. ever has been able to
restrain the natural brat to contest the
speed merits of his horse with his ne‘ h.
bor‘s. The division in the club on t is
question is growing w‘ . and tees
to be serious unless the chaplain agrees
to regulate tho-peed othu horseh that
of President Benedict". Which he ab
most promised to do.
