(Mr. G. J. G. Gregory) and Min Gregory patronised
the opera, and both attended. For the first bone
during the west the maned outs were well filled, Lod
the other patriot the haute were thronged. Thu goat
attendee's seemed to Inspirit the performers, for from

by Mr. Douglas kept the house in • roar throughout
the pieea Altogether the Mayor's beepoke WM the
most ausasedul eight of the week. On Friday Major
Lyon and the odious of the Royal Horse Artillery
gave their patronage, when the programme oonsleted
of "La Troviate" and " The Bashful Man." 'rho
boom was full to overt 'wing, bid the performauese
were only fairly ouroossefal. The store of the °Pero
was not familiar to witty, and on this occouton there
were no ooplee of the libretto to be had. Of course
they were withheld for obvious reasons, but it lessened
the interest in the opere. Then although the concerted

evoke the sympathy of the audience, and the faros was
