The Festival of last evening in the

the available seats were occupied, ard a
great many people had to resign them
selves to standing position We should
think that there were at least 600 pei
sons present. The tableaux were numer-
Gus and beautiful the acting, ballads,
plays and songs were we'll executed, and
the actors frequently applauded. With
out making any special discrimination,
wo must say that some parts in the per-
Torrance were played in the most ma
tural manner, with the greatest ease
and perfect fidelity. Surely DIR. Smith
deserves great credit for having, in the
short space of a few weeks, trained his
pupils to such a perfection. Such festi-
walls as this are beneficial in every re-
sIect, and we are glad to see them SC
well patronized by our community.
