elegant speech, stating that he was cheered by Ne
smiles of his frends-that he would not damn tAear
pleasure by alluding to the melancholy features Il
the past, which had been so disastrous to hi1

energy that had marked his efforts to present
the drama as it should be, would be continued
hereafter, in whatever position he might be placed

that Mr. Lester had been obliged to leave to attend -
a performance at another establishment. A concert
then followed, In which Dodwerth's Band performed

involving managers in hstterng hopes and poor rssi
cations, he will find that an emnently nne eompsa1
and new plays, suited to the taste and genius Of he
public, will carry him triumphanty to success.
