A RecapituIaIiOn of the Three Even

apart, was not 50 much 70 promote the 50
eial interest Of those who encouraged tn
!. movement with their presence and talents
as it was to exercise the sublime virtue 0
q charity towards numerous class Of main
Q ed soldiers in our midst. The ealsmities o
: war have deprived them Of limbs. To sup
, ply them with artificial ones is the com
mendable purpose for which the proceeds
will be used.
The immense success Of the undertaking
is due to a great extent to the liberality o.
Messrs. Dorman & Fenton' for the use Of Ma
sonic Hall, to Mr.. John Kirkman for the use
Of the New Theatre, and also 10 Jas. 4. Nc
Clure & Co. for the use Of one Of steinway'i
magnificent Piano Foftsk. Too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon Professors Adam
and Schmidt, without whose valuable as
sistanee the exercises could not have 30 sue
cessfully proceeded.
The following constitutes the list Of tab
Ieaux represented on Thursday night:
/ Turkish Scene.
The -Four Seasons.
Come Home Father.
Old Woman in the Shoe.
Queen Katherine's Vision.
The Brigands.
Christina and Mercy.
The Enchanted Princess.
Cinderella.
Paris Awarding the Apple.
Gipsy Scene from II Trovatore.
Between the representation Of the above
Tableaux the following ladies and gentle
men sang and played variety Of selected
/ gems from the most celebrated operas; Miss
| NJ. Hudson, Miss Alice Claiborne, Green
Morrow, Mrs. A. Neal, Mrs. Leigh, Miss
Ida johnson, Miss Anna Green, Mrs. Hay
ward, Mr.. 0'shaughnesay, and Mrs. j. II.
| Calender. The first named picture was ad
mirable in all Of its attractive details. We
assert, with faith in the correctness Of our
opinion, that no bevy Of oriental beauties
could surpass in lOveliness or grace that
group Of shining faces.
The second picture-the -Four Seasons,
which, by the by, was so complete a sue
cess that it was repeated on Saturday even
ing. Spring sat upon a messy bank, with
chaplet Of flowers on her head, and gar
land about her shoulders, while fowerets
and leaves lay scattered around her in the
most prodigal PrOfusiOn. Miss - was
herself the fairess flower.
Next came Summer, with its Bunbeams
and fruits, which dsngled in tempting clus-
tiers on either hand-the smaller kind nest
led amid the flowing curls OF Miss -,
who looked more like the first rose of Sum
mer than the last.
Then came Autumn, teening with an
abundant harvest-the reward of the farm |
ers industry, and antidote against famine.
The melancholy days" could not be the |
"saddest Of the year" in this instance,
though the sombre hue Of the falling leaves
called up emotions of regret; but a smile
was on the cheerful face Of Miss -,
that even the advent Of winter could not /
Danish.
Winter, with its ice and falling fakes Of |
snow, was next in order. The icicles and /
the banks Of heecy white, were very sug-
gestive Of frozen noses, aching fingers and
chiIblains; in fact we felt so Decemberish
that We involuntarily buttOnsd up our coat
As we looked upon Miss , who was
being pelted by the mercilsss storm, We
devoutly hoped that the Lord would "tem-
per the wind to the shorn Lamb" though
she looked cold and comfortless, her heart
and feelings were as warmly enlisted in the
cause abe was serving, as devotion to it
could prompt one to be. We only regret |
that Of this scene we could not Sss-HOre.
The Bar room scene, in which little Miss
Burns won golden opinions" Of all present,
was also quite feature, rendered so chiefly
by the natural grace of this "Liltle Treas
ure."
"The Old Woman in the Shoe" with one
leg going in the wrong direction, was
mirth provoking cartoon, and had the de-
sired effect.
"Queen Katherine" was as charming as
the sweet vision she saw.
"The Brigands," tableaHr DiUant, was
full Of life, and alive with startling situa-
tions-vividly calling to mind the fairy sto-
ries about "silver spoons" detectives, etc.
This was also repeated on Saturday even
ing.
"The Enchanted Princess" was scene |
of splendOr and gorgeous glitter. Really |
there were more enchanted than there we're |
enchanters.
"CinderelIa" was well represented in the |
person Of Miss Lizzie l., whose mild |
expression Of innocent affection contrasted |
strongly with the disappointed look of her
less amiable sisters.
The Gipsey scene, from il TrOvstore, |
"Christina and Mercy" with her ',iowels"
Of matchless beatty, the classic statuary'
scene, representing the Judgment Of Paris |
were all well received and loudly applsUded |
by the appreciative audience.
TpE CONCERT AT MASONIC TENPEE
was a grand success, an immense audience |
being present, and reflected great credit
on those who participated. We clip the |
following from the Gazette, other duties |
preventing our attendance:
The entertainment opened grandly with |
vocal and instrumental chorus from the |
"Gipsy's Warning" The programme,
which we give below, was executed through
out in a manner which not only afforded |
the utmost satisfaction, but proved the diff
ferent ap,atoTS possessed Of rare musical |
powers, and we'll sustained the enviable |
reputation Of our city in this respect.
