ance-The Miracle Of tho Roses-A
Hauasone Rntertainment


Chantal last evening was very de-
lightful affair, fully realizing the most
sanguine expectations. AS announced
in Yesterdays REGISTER, the Legisla-
ture, members of the Supreme Court,
and other State officials, accepted the
invitation of the Sisters in charge ofthe
Academy of the Visitation to witness
the rendering ofthat charming operetta,
"The Miracle of the Roses" by the young
lady pupils of that institution. The
first of the trains provided for the ac-
commodation of visitors was well filled
by our State authorities, who turned
out in q body to honor the occasion with
their presence. Arriving at Mount de
Chantal, they spent pleasant hour Ill
passing through and examining the
Academy and Convent buildings, every
department of which was thrown open
for their inspection. Many of these
gentlemen, coming from distant portions
of the State, had never visited this
splendid institution, and the magnitude
of the buildings, the convenience and
elegance of their arrangement, as we'll
as the perfection of the gen.
eral system of instruction and
government at Mount De Chantal elici-
ted many expressions of surprise and
qualification. After our dignitaries had
concluded their survey of the buildings,
the throng, augmented by large num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen whom the
later trains had brought out, proceeded
to the spacious and comfortable Music
Hall to witness the operatic perform
ances of the evening. We have not
space to describe, as we would wish,
the preparations made in the ar
rangement of this Hall for the
reception of the visitors aud the
presentation of the play. We can
only say in brief, that nothing was
omitted which could contribute to the
comfort of the audience, and that the
stage, representing forest scene, was
decorated and arranged in style that
drew forth general praise and compli-
msnt.
