. 9AsoLoGY.-A first class audience listened
again last night to the varied " demonstration"
of the gentlemen who Inhaled this nitrous oxide
gas, and from the incessant bursts of laughter
and applause we judge all must have enjoyed
themselves hugely. Under the inspiration of
the gas there was excellent singing, tip-top
dancing, emphatic speeches, and some little
pugilstic demonstrations, which resulted in no
further damage than the smashing of a hat.
Mr.. Collins has consented to favor US with
another entertainment next Thursday evening,
when we can laugh and grow fat" again.
