ABOUT 180 IN THEATRE PARTY.

There were about 180 Rensselaer people in the party that went to Lafayette Tuesday night to see Gus Phillips in “The Wolf.” They pronounce the play "alright” and say Gus did not dissapoint them in his acting as the leading man. At the. close of the second act, Geo. A. Williams of the “Rensselaer bunch” marched down the aisle and in a neat little speach presented Gus With a huge boquet of Chrisanthemums from his Rensselaer friend. The latter responded in a fitting manner and thanked his old home friends for the compliment they had paid him by coming in such great number to the play. The special train that brought the party back did not reach here until about 2 o’clock Wednesday morning. Gus came, home with the party and remapped here until the 2:04 p. m. train when he went to Frankfort, where his company played Wednesday evening. From there the company goes over into Illinois and thence to lowa. Dates are now booked up to Christmas.
