The atupldlty ot nn u.her in handing p bunch ot rosea over the footlights, ’the apparent confusion of the recipient, the embarrassment on the part of the one for whom they were really in tended and the hysteria and tears of the giver contributed to a tragedy en acted, but practically unobserved, nt the Primrose's Minstrel Thursday. It all happened after tho sweet-voiced tenor, Will Oakland, lmd warbled tho strains of that old ballad, "Silver Threads Among the Gold." Mr. Oak land hail earned bis salary for Thurs day and sat down amid the applause of the admiring audience. None applauded the efforts of Mr. Oakland mote beautify than did two la- dies and a little boy who were seated In one of the lower boxes. From their actions It was evident that they were more or leas interested In the program, and were awaiting the appearance of some one more Important than those already tut the stage. The serenity of the occasion was marred, however, when, after Mr. Oak land had sealed himself with that sat isfaction of a tenor singer having pleased his audience, an usher tripped down the aisle with a magnificent hunch of dowers and made motions to the minstrel folks.

It was an unexpected happening for Mr. Oakland, but he accepted the offering. The action of the usher caused coii- sternatlon in the box occupied by the 'two ladles and tho little boy. The dowers hod been sent by one of the ladies, but they were not intended for Mr. Oakland. Site did not even know Mr. Oakland and was determined that the bouquet should reach the one for whom it was intended. The lady disappeared from the box, and with tears in her eyes, appealed to the policeman who usually watches the performances from the back row. She was referred to the head tuber, who listened to her troubles. About that time George Primrose and his dusky partner In an intensely red dress commenced the dancing melange, singing "Laxy Moon.” Amid the ludy’s tears she was heard to tell the head usher that the flowers were Intended for the dusky maiden in the flaming garb, Sam Marlowe. The head usher, as an emissary, went behind the scenes to straighten the trouble, and with the assistance of Mr, Primrose smoothed out everything. Mr. Marlowe was put fn possession of the flowers and their fragrance .was still strong enough to convey Hie message Imparted to them by the fair donor.
