GALLERY OF ILLUS7RATI ON.

Mr. and Mrs. German Reed opened the season
last evening with Mr. Burnand's "Inquire Within,"
and a new musical extravaganza entitled " The
Last of the Paladins," written by Mr. R. Reece:

" Inquire Within" bids fair to meet with the same
popularity which was accorded to it last season.
Mrs Reed and her husband take the same parts 15
it as last year, while those of Mr. Parry and 11159
St. Clair are sustained by Mr. Frank Matthews and
Mdlle Rosa d'Erina. The new musical piece, "The
Last of the Paladins," is a musical extravaganl3'
the music by J. Offenbach, and very amusingly
comic. The merriment is caused by an old fire"
eating Baron defending his castle against the aggres-
sion of his ancestral enemy, Sam-old-atto. The
Baron, iu the absence of the implements of war'
presses those of the kitchen into his service, and
thus much laughter is excited. The trifle " went
very well, and doubless will become highly attree;
tive. Mr. and Mrs. Reed received a very eordia'
welcome from a very numerous audience.
