The elite of Marquette, Mich., after having presented two most successful performances of tbe Echoes of 1910 at the Marquette Opera House under the able direction of one of Broadway's favorites, Donald McDonald, was repeated to a capacity audience at the Michigan Branch Prison through tbe neneroslty of the wife of one of Marquette's Iron Kings. Possibly no troupe has ever played to a more appreciative and responsive audience than tbat which filled tbe spacious auditorium on this eventful evening. The musical melange presented, consisted of interpolations from the leading musical comedy successes of the 1910 season, some of-which are still current Broadway attractions. Tbe clever and creditable manner In which Mr. McDonald, principals and chorus rendered the musical and dancing bits of Tbe Fascinating Widow, Tbe Balkan Princess, The Spring Maid, Little Miss Fix It, etc., deserves particular mention, but space forbids tbe usage of super- latives. During the Intermission. Warden Russell made a short address In which be took occasion to thank those whose benevolence made It possible for the performance to be given, and on behalf of the Inmates presented Mr. McDonald with a token of their appreciation and gratitude. Mr. McDonald was visibly affected and so taken by surprise that be was moved to tears iu acknowledging tbe gift.. It is safe to say. that of all the chattels pos- sessed by Mr. McDonald, tbe token presented by the Inmates of the Marquette Branch Prison will always be to him the most valued and es- teemed. Mr. McDonald states thst members of the pro- fession and their respective companies are al- ways sure to meet with an enthusiastic recep- tion at the Marquette Prison on their tours through the Upper Peninsula, and last but not the least, the S. R. O. sign will always greet them. Montrose, Colo., July 26, 1911. Montrose has enjoyed the strife this week between the Benton's Show under canvas and the Kemp tons at the Armory Opera House, both being repertoire companies and here for the week. The Bentons carry a good uniformed band that makes a parade each day at 4 o'clock and at 7:30 In the evening. They occupy one of the principal corners In the business part of the city, where an open-air concert is given, following which they march to the tent. The Kemptons have employed the Montrose Band to do likewise, they occupying a corner one block or 300 feet away from the Bentpns and thus we have the amusement of listening to the excellent harmony (?) that must exist with the two bands playing at the same time, each vielng to outdo tbe other. However, both shows are doing well and pleasing their patrons. Manager Cooper of the Montrose Opera House, not to be outdone, has as a special attraction at his house this week Miller's 101 Ranch pictures in three reels. . ...... The Western Slope Fair Association this week booked thirty wild horses for the Wild West features of the fair. September 19-21. Some of the best riders in the West have agreed to participate. The concessions for this fair will be sold at auction on August 1 at 2 p. m. The fair association is now having a city water main placed under-ground around the entire racetrack, with hydrants every 200 feet, to which will be attached a hose for the purpose of sprinkling the track all the way around and avoid any dust during the races. The track will be sprinkled during the night. . „ Last vear the fair association painted all the buildings, including the grandstand, white with red roofs, so now It is said to be the neatest and most attractive fair grounds in the West. With Its hundreds of shade trees and lawn, trie great advantage of this ground over others Is that it is within seven blocks of the bus ness part of the city and has a cement walk lead- ing to it. so no conveyances are necessary. The association is ont of debt and has sev- eral hundred dollars in the bank, which is an exception to the usual experience of fair as- soclatlona. W. O. REDDING.
