After an absence from London for six years Mrs.
Panay gamble re-appeared last eight at the Esyptien-bell,
where she gave a rewires of elseheslowils play of As Tor
Dike It, the that of • series of Nadine whieVehe is an-
nounoed to give at the same place. As all who are ac-
quainted with the writings of Shakopee, know, As for
Dike It contain many telling purges, and the shoschos
in it afford full loops for the effective display of the his-
trionic art, and hence both veteran actors and tyros, when
they wish to pourtny Skekeepere, will cite one
er more of them poops, end will endeavour
with more or less BUCCC43, oftener, however, with lea than
more, to personate one of these characters. But to her the
poops cited, end the characters personated, with true
artistic skill, is a treat that rarely falls to one's lot to enjoy.
The audience at the Baptianhall last night, who expected
sucha treat, and It seemed reasonable to expect it from a
Kimble, were not disappointed.

breeght • lenge number of holiday-makers to the Crystal
Pala yesterday. The gardens, with their budding leaves
and fresh spring blossoms, their gymnasium, swings, ar-
chery, rifle-shooting, cricketing, boating, .kc., were fall of
attractions: and those who were not too dignified for en.
joyment varied the indoor entertainments by availing
themselves of these means of recreation, and now and
then improvised • little dancing or a hearty pare at kiss
in the ring. At one o'clock the orchestral band of the
company added to the stock of musical pleasures. At har-

day in one of his humorous soap, followed by the famous
" Nrhoot Care." The Brothers Nehwn—a family of daring
and graceful gymnast♦ opened the afternoon's smusemeate,
sod were succeeded by Mackney, who sloe ran through the
latest batch of news in the form of • comic song. Then
came the character dances, with rapid changes of
costume, of Mr. Charles Burton. The clever gam-
bols and feats of the Parisian clowns, Arthur
and Bertrand, were oubeequentiy witnessed with great
satisfaction by the crowds that had by that time collected
in the centre transept ; and at six o'clock an ample and
welLasliseted organ performance by Mr. James Co-
brought the festivities to an agreeable close. At dusk, the
transept sod naves were illuminated, producing a very
glittering and picturesque effect. By this time, however,
many of the visitors had departed; and, thanks to the
numerous lines of rail over which they were dirtribated,
there was little of that crowding, rushing, and fighting foe.
