THEATRE-A large and somewhat uproalious au.

word" he managed TO get through The audience an.
peared to be in remarkably gay humour well salts
fled with thems Ives and the rest of mankinel--and
therefore took little notice OF the audible whispers OF
the Prompter throughout the play. One or two cri,
tics, perched in the boxes, undertook to manifest their
appreciation OF Mr.. Neafes effort, by shouting out al
the close OF his more impassoned passages-"fne--

grew small by degrees and beautifully less" as the
officers employed preserve order shortened the dig
