EIIYMEN.a ENTERTAIXIIINT.—The aftlate.llll, of
No. 7 liattery, 150 Brigade, ILA.. gave an carnal 1111 l ent
it. Friday evening last, in a p.m* enclosed from part of
tl,e gun tier of the othe Fort. The stage was very
nicely fitted up, everything being aeeonling to rule, and
the curtain we.. formed of the Royal Standard. The Ifig
gunx were lather all :tur.o.tion than enc 1111 l ',ranee, and
the only fault we found wax that there MIS rather ton
great :, gap between the reserved and seentol seats • the
company need not have been se broadly divided.. A
isiusieal part was followed by the nigger hure " An Un-
happy Pair." whil, c ttised a greet deal of fun ; after this
a parte appeared in the costume of a lifeboat crew, in
cork Ifelts.an.l with oars, and they sang "Man the Life-
boat." which was well received. After an interval a
e•nipany of tie:vast:teed ininitrels appeared, and went
through a regular progranune of comic and sent' •ntal
songs, interspersed with jokes which set the gun.room in
a roar. Iluuliner King as hones wee very energetic. and
Corp.ral Illoward al 1111 l st inore 10 while Gunner Wearing
did • Mr. Johnson" well. A walk-round, and challenge
dance. by Johnson and Jumbo, wound up this part in a
lively manner. The whole WWI concluded with the farce
"No one round the Curlier." These entertainmenta call
out • good deal of !Aleut in the men, and make them feel
at home, when their friends gather round them, and they
deserve touch praise for their efforts. Sergeant-Major
Tresdale was most cdurteous, and evidently enjoyea the
happiness of his.pen. „
