DRAMA.

ADELPHL

Yesterday evening the popular drama of The
Flowers of the Purest was reproduced ►t this theatre, and
was witnessed with undiminished interest by a very large
audience. It is one of those pieces which bear the test of
time. Cheap John (Mr. J. L Toole) and his assistant in
the disposal of his wares to the villagers (Mr. Paul Bed-
ford), kept the company in a perfect roar. This drama is
probably destined to have a good Ilan in its renewed cane,
