appearance on Monday last on the occasion of the
representation of Ballisan's most successful comic
opera, " H.M.S. Pinafore." The opera has been
lauded to the skies both in England and America,
thavoloro Ills needless to say much of the composition
itself, and it will suffice to say that it lost none of its
attractions by the meaner in which it wee performed
by Kr. D'Oyly Carte's company. This company, it
will be remembered, sustained • severe blow at Bath
In tato low of two of in principal performen by

effectively by Mr. Cadwalade He pommen a tenor

with taste and expansion. Mies Ethel Pierson, as
Josephine, sang nicely, hut in the first act she wee
rather out of tune, which greatly marred her otherwise
good performance. She improved, however, and was
well received. Mime Trevelyae as "Little Buttercup"
was most amusing, and in Last all the characters were
admirably!nuteMed. Th." Hardly Ever," and other
jokes, which have now become so popsies were re-
ceived as warmly as ever. Mr. Ralph Ziemer was the
conductor. The box plan arrangements were under,
as per matron, Mies Jeffery's supervision, and the
load matters received due attention by Mr. W. R. P.
Jeffery. Many of the inhabitants have said they are
