We were surprised that some peo
ple were displeased because a few
suggestions were made about the en
tertainment that was given at the
Auditorium on the 23rd ult. It is
very likely that the same organiza
tion may give other entertainments
in the future and we thought a few
suggestions might be of some value
to that committee in arranging fu
ture programs, and all people should
remember when you present any
thing to the public you must expect
criticism, and if your feelings are so
tender that they can't endure it,
don't take part in any public pro
grams. The Bystander representa
tive has no apology, to make. When
a good program is gendered wd* will
tell you about it, and if it is not,
good you will read of it. We expect
to tell the truth. What the people
want is their money's worth, and if
they don't get your patronage will
be disappointed. All persons cannot
attend the different entertainments,
and if the newspapers don't give us
that information what is the need of
having them?
