Cooper's Orchestra of Grinnell College under the auspices of

Cooper's Orchestra of Grinnell College under the auspices of J. K. Vande Brake and Glen Hunt, gave one of their grand entertainments in the Christian Church Friday night before an audience which though not as large as it should have been on account of the rain was nevertheless as thoroughly appreciative as though standing room bad been at a premium The Company is now touring the state during their vacation and from all reports have given satisfaction wherever they have held forth. Thsy are, both ladies and gentlemen, engaged in seeking an education at the College and should be upheld and enoouragsd in their laudable work of entertaining the public. Too great praise cannot be bestowed upon tbe two young gentlemen who engaged in the laudable purpose of trying to supply suitable recreation for our people during the interim between the amusements of winter and the beginning of the lecture course to be annouueed later. The gentlemen have succeeded in their purpose but at a peouniary loss to themselves which they bear philosophically and hope for better success next time. There is nothing definite about the. matter but they may be able to secure a return date with a mostly uew repertoire along about the holidays if it is the sentiment of our people.
