MISSES DELMORE
Vocal and instrumental work. Pleased fairly well. Never did see them make any great sensation. They are all right for a continuous house to go on about 8 o'clock. will move them up to night. 13 min. in 1.

STELLA MAYHEW, BILLEE TAYLOR & CO.
In a singing comedy "It Happened in Utah". Was under the impression this act was a farce instead of a singing sketch. Miss Mayhew portrays three characters, which serve to show her ability. Each of her characters was perfectly portrayed. Her songs are exceptionally bright and nicely rendered and she certainly got the laughs. Her support is good. Bille[[?]] Taylor has a fairly good voice, and I presume if she was to play in a civilized neighborhood she would prove a big drawing card. She was, however, the applause hit of the show at both performances. 20 min. F. B.

MASON & SHANNON
In their German comedy "Astrology". This act is not as good as when presented some time ago. To my surprise they held this place in fairly good shape, and received a good number of laughs. 16 Minutes in one.

KITTY TRANEY
Novel juggling and sporting act, with a horse and three dogs. Act consists of fancy riding, juggling and a wee bit of strong work. Animals are very well trained. Very pleasing act, novel and original. A pity to the sacrifice it to close the show. Very well received. 11 Minutes full stage.

KINETOGRAPH
GRAND PRIZE AUTOMOBILE RACE  Interesting
A FLY ECLIPSE  (Comedy)  Fairly good.
