BRIDPORT "BLACK PEARLY."

As amateurs, making a Mod to a large and to some
extent a cri icising audience, we may safely, and
without fl sttery, say that the' Bridport Black Pearls,"
at the Drill [tall on Monday night, proved worthy the
support accorded them. A very abort time ago a
party of 3 onthful spirits mutually agreed to hold
occasional minting' for musical improvement. Anon
the idea was suggested to announce an entertainment
on behalf of the Bridpott C ittage Hospital. This was
carried into practice on Monday night, and with the
support of the die, combined with the ready sale of
tickets for the cent-e and resr of the house, the takings
amounted to £l2 and upwards, which remitted, after
heavy expel see had been deducted, in the ability of
the "Pearls" to hand over £4 lOs. to the deserving
hospital Ilridp,rt and Alington. There was but
one item ( that not in the prooamme) which calls
forth regr t, not to arty censure. If the irrepressible
gadery god., in the midst of their mad frenzy, could
only be transferred to the ether s de of the footlights
For • few bile( moments, it is hardly questionable
whether they would again join a respectable aeaemtily,
and annoy and disgust it with howling' and ravings

there are so many wits in oar midst, it is a somewhat
difficult matter for • "corner man," especially if he
be an amateur, to propound a new joke, or to crack •
funny saying, which have not been cracked or propounded
by somebidy else, but the "Pearly corner men" were
full of the comic element, and appeared to infuse say-
ings both orginal and select. The singing was very
good. The comic act or farce, which brought theentor.
tainmant to a close was fairly performed; but vary
little improvement is needed in this respect, and the
next time the "sable face." appear before us, they
will be iu • position to make their farce eves more
successful than " Waxination Gratis." We are in-
formed that the Pearls intend to appear shortly at
Beaminster, where we trust they will noun the
support which their speculation sad abilities deserve.
