CONCERT AT PERKINsvILLE.- The
Concert of Halls Band of Boston, given
at the Hawkes. Mountain House in Per-
kinsville, ON Monday eve., January
18th, was a highly successful and delight
full affair. Although the night was
stormy one, yet the Hall was crowded,
and the audience testified to their appre-
citation of the delicious melody given
them by frequent applause. The cornet
solo " Echo was brilliantly executed by
r. HALL, as was also the clarinet solo
"Thema VAR" by o. A. Whitmore. At
the conclusion of the concert the Hall
was made ready for dancing, and some
ninety couples tipped the eight fantas-
tic" until the "wee sma' hours" to the
music of the best Quadrille Band in
New England Halls of Boston.) Ev-
erything was conducted in the most sat
isfactory manner, Gas it ever is at Proc
tors and each person present felt when
he or she departed that it were well for
travellers either for business or pleasure,
if they could always fix their hours SO
that mondays sun or a sunset ray
should touch them when near Proctor's,
and give them an. excuse to stop, Gf on

they were expected to crown their part.
ners. Crackers containing pieces Of
fancy costume we're also pulled between
the fingers of one of the dances,
and the gentlemen had to wear
the finery which fell to their share. In
what was called the steeple-chsse
dance, the ladies received fans bearing
the names of well-known race. horses, and
the gentlemen cards similarly inscribed.
At signal the music struck up, and
each gentleman hastened to discover the
lady on whose fan was written the same
name as on his card. Another fantastic
novelty was the distribution of hoops
among the gentlemen, one to each six.
The six advanced to lady, carrying
their hoop between thep, and on touch-
ing a spring it suddenly imprisoned the
one destined to be the lady's partner.
Both the Oriental visitors and the native
visitors are said to have been much
amused by these performances.
