To sum up this years production Of the Mistcl
Krewe, It can be said that 1t was inferior In mott
ing to what Il has hitherto given to Its friends, sn
superior 10 some Of its former Representations
That the affair was at the Opera House, instead o
the Varieties, was matter of consratulation u
all parties, because the accommodations were no
only much larger, but much more convenient
The attendance was Of course larger than eve
before, for there were more seats to be hlled'
III Vale, then to the Mistick Krewe for anothe
year, when they shall again appear to show
i 4 the people of New Orleans what club can
when it attempts to cater to the pleasure OF II
friends. Long may the Krewe wave, and ms
II WE he on hand every year TO see Il wave.
