the times and by many it is ranked as the most pronounced pro-nounced success ever achieved by the popular Home Club It certainly has not been equalled since Saratoga and the Banker Daughter the sitting of the Legislature will doubtless contribute con-tribute largely to make a heavy success of the attraetion Brigham City Theatricals Correspondence of THE HERALD We have in Brigham City an
