THSATXB, " Darkest Utah " a minstrel company, Tuesday and 7 quiet one in dramatic circles and the opening of the various pleasure resorts has had a tendency to draw away the crowd from the town to e and Calders and 'other out of town resorts, The Grand, however, has had the best week so far, as attendance is concerned, since the Huntington season Held by the Enemy has proved commenced. a capital drawing card and has had a splendid presentation by the Stock Company. Mr. Huntington, Mr. Hallock and Mr. King together with Miss Chapman and Miss Kadcliffe have shown themselves to be capable artists and will long be rememliered by the patrons of the Grand. It is unfortuas te that the manager of the Huntington Company did not put on Held by the Enemy to begin the engagement. While the artistic success of the company has been pronounced the receipts have not been very satisfactory, but had the repertoire been reversed, The Amazons entirely eliminated and some strong play put on in its place the company would have had no reason to regret their Salt Lake visit and the Rogeis bi others and Mr. Hatch would smile when they met their friends on the street, instead of wearing a wrinkle between their eyes. The Wright - Huntington Stock Company are so well pleased with the past weeks success that they have decided to stay over a couple of weeks, and while next week they expect to do nothing but view the scenery and dip in the lake, the week after they will probably present Fink Dominoes, a comedy that they have been very successful with in the past and one that should draw immensely here. Miss Izette will return from Denver, and while not all of the present members of the company will remain, the principal members, except Miss Chapmad, will do so. Beginning September 1st, H. F. McGarvie will take charge of the Grand Opera House, putting in, as now contemplated, either a vaudeville performance or a stock company with a vaudeville addenda. It is understood that Mr. McGarvie s has some backing and will put on only the very best companies. first-clas- The High School Commencement at the Theater last Thursday evening was a very enjoyable affair and the participants are to be highly commended for the excellent showing made. Mrs. Amanda Swenson and Professor Anton Pederson give their second annual pupils recital at the Salt Lake Theater on Monday evening, June 6th, at 8 oclock. Mrs. Swenson and the professor are well in the van amongst the army of musical educators in this city, and an enjoyable and pleasurable entertainment is assured. Castilla Springs was informally opened last Sunday to a large representation of an appreciative public. This is the one of the most exquisite and picturesque pleasure resorts in the state, and its popularity is due much to the energy and congeniality of the South worth Bros. The resort will be formally opened on the 11th inst., when a large excursion will leave here and elsewhere for the sylvan retreat up Spanish Fork canyon. well-know- n The big cake walk at the Theatre next W and Thursday nights promises to pack the house. This will be the first benefit performance to the Jubilee fund. ay XT. I looked again and saw that flowery space Stirring, as if alive, beneuth the tread That rested now upon an old mails head, And now upon a baby's gasping face, Or mother's bosom, or the rounded grace Of a girls throat; and what had seemed the red Of flowers was blood ; in gouts and gushes shed From hearts that broke under that frolic pace. And now and then from out the dreadful floor An arm or blow was lifted from the rest As if to strike in madness, or implore For mercy ; and anon Borne suffering breast Heaved from the mass and sank ; and as before The revellers above them thronged and prest. William Dean Howells, in Harpers Magazine. MERE MENTION. Clara Morris is satisfied with vaudeville and will continue in it. She receives $1000 per week.

She was there recently with Excelsior Jr. and Ashton Stevens of the News Letter published his criticism in rhyme, of which the following verses contain the gist : At the break of day they found him there, Froze fast within his velvet chair, Still grasping in his hand of ice The play-bi- ll with the strange device, " Excelsior Jr! 11 And on its margin this was writ: Once Martinot, now Martinit. A tear was frosted in his eye, His glacial lips still seemed to sigh, Excelsior Jr! L. R. Rogers of Ogden is in Washington, D. C., but whoever intimates that Lindsay would look after his political interests while there must be a stranger to the man ; that is all. After so long a time the House has accepted the conference report and the Uncompahgre reservation will be thrown open April 1, 1898.

I looked and saw a splendid pngoantry Of beautiful women ami of lordly men, Taking their pleasure in a llowery plain, Where poppies and the red anemone, And many another leaf of cranioisy, Flickered about their feet, and gave their stain To heels of iron or satin, and the grain Of silken garments floating far and free, As in the dance they wove themselvea, or strayed By twos together, or lightly smiled and bowed. Or curtseyed to each other, or else played At games of mirth and pastime, unafraid In their delight ; and all so high and proud, They seemed Bcarce of the earth whereon they trod. until September 5th, as follows: UXE IS, as usual, the mouth of weddings, outdoor entertainments and lake parties, and these interesting and delightful affairs have already commenced, and for the first week of summer there have been a goodly number. Almost the final card parties of the year have been given and attention is turned to luncheons, lawn parties, bicycle teas and the like. Nothing has been going on at the Theater this week, but a number of box parties were made up for the Grand and many prominent people were noticed among them. The younger set in society has been much interested during the week in the closing of the different schools, and these final exercises will give to society some very charming debutantes for the coming season. Many of the young girls who have been at schools and colleges during the winter are now returning to their homes, and a very gay summer is expected by all, especially as many are bringing guests with them. . Wedding invitations and announceme nts have been flying through the city at a great rate this week and have caused a flutter of interest and excitement in society circles. Society may expect to be still more interested before the summer is over, as several engagements are to be announced very shortly. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons have issued invitations to the marriage of their daughter. Miss Marion Simmons, to Mr. Frank Officer ; the ceremony will take place on the 16th of this month. Invitations have been received in this city to the wedding of Miss Eva Corbett of Ouray, Colo., on the 23rd of June. Miss Corbett has a host of friends who will be interested in this news.
