Symphony Orchestra. The programme as followed out by the
company was exceptionally fine, and elicited well-merited ap
plause. Miss Haeker, as soprano soloist, delighted the audience
with her selections and responded charmingly to hearty encores.
Mr. White, as elocutionist and impersonator, recited several
amusing and original anecdotes, which, by the volume of applause
that they brought forth, were well feceived.
Most enjoyable of all, however, was the musical programme
given by the twenty young ladies of the company. Beyond the
fact that each selection was a gem and was exquisitely rendered,
the appearance of the orchestra upon the stage was most attrac
tive. The various costumes and the tasteful arrangement of the
company, together with the personal charms and graces of the in
dividual members, composed as pretty a picture as can well be
imagined. It is our sincere hope that the company may revisit
State College on its return trip next spring. If it should, it may
be assured of even a larger and more enthusiastic audience than
the first.
To those who, by their attendance, so kindly contributed to
the success of the affair, the Free Lance extends grateful
thanks. And most especially do we wish to acknowledge our in
debtedness to the members of the Faculty and the ladies of the
College for the.ir favors and their encouragement.
"pOR the benefit of Mr. F. H. Thomas,’Supt. of the B. C. R. R.,
and Mr. Bartruff, Manager of the Bellefonte Lecture Course,
we wish to enlighten the holders of the Course tickets ip re
gard to tfye recent action of the B. C. R. R. When selling tick
ets for the course,, Mr. Bartruff stated that a twenty-five cent rate
could be secured on the railroad provided one hundred Course
tickets were sold. At the time almost a hundred persons had
signed a paper to the effect that they would buy tickets, but about
twenty-five of the people neglected to buy them. For this
reason the number of people holding tickets is so much below
9i?p hundred that Mr, Thomas finds it impossible to sell railroad
tfchcts to them at the rate which he promised to charge one
hundred persons..
Should a, sufficient number of Course tickets be sold for the re-
