Otis S.ritairemt.—The Commodore steamer has been

New tubular boilers by Penn and Sons. of Oremit

boilers: By this means she will have the same amount
of steam by a smaller consumption of feel, arid less
room being taken up by her coal, she will have • Maim
cabin, and thereby combine the qualities of a passenger
boat with those of • tug. Thus she will be available
for our passenger traffic during the season, and will be
plated on that service when required. She had her trial
trip on Saturday last, and was found to answer slings.

do anything with the cards. Them litter were made

way or altogether out, and so forth. Eggs were pro-

in the interior of the candle in whom flame it seemed
to have been consumed, and the whole was done with
great smartness and neatness, and amompaniml with
lively remarks that keep every one well pleased to be
deceived. It was a capital entertainment of sleight of
hand that Herr Dobler gave. But to this was wiper'
added Mr. River's clever impersonations. The yachting
girl, the rowing girl, and Mies Sally Simper, were very
amusing "skits" on the fast young women of the period.
Mr. Solomon Slowcoach was an old fellow, who was
irresietibly amusing, in spite of his slownews, and as
was an old fdlow, who was irresistibly amusing, in
spite of his slowness, and so was Lord Dundreary. In
each character Mr. Rivers sang an appropriate soug.and
certainly his ironies, for he seemed to be in command of
• good many, were wonderfully varied, and pleasing in
every style. But still more extraordinary was the next
attempt, and totally different—Mr. Rivers gave some
good specimens of iloquism,.the voice appearing to
made to great distances, and the gradual retirement
being excellently imitated. This was followed by the
appearance of a street musician, • most amusing char.

old gentleman, the capitally expressive signs of whieh
caused great laughter. So did his often announced
solo on the flute The 'Graf Welts' gentlemen," by
which the curiosity of the audience was excited very
much, and part of the fun wee that it was so short.

imperninations wore all much applauded,as were also
Herr Doblees feats, and the two artistes, each in his

portant accomplishment—How to plume.
