The PROMENADE ENTERTAINMENT last night
was merely repetition of the previous nights
performance. The tables were we'll attended,
and patrons were not found wanting. The
visitors amused themselves BY promenadinG
through the spacious hall, while the smaller
fry, wfo had charge of grab bags almost as
largo rs themselves, piled their vocation as
siduously, and succeeded in extracting the
small change from innumerable pockets. At a
siyen signal the hall was deserted for the back
room, where the great magician displayed his
wonders. A number Of scriptuial scenes were
portrayed on the canvass, and the exhibition
was pronounced one of the events Of the even
ing. We understand the entertainment Will
be continued for one night longer.
