The favorite buriesade 81 Cinderella drew aH
immense crowd to the Hibetnian Hall last even.

Blanche. Chapman made her usus, hit In the
role Of Cinderella and Elias Dandini "ook"
amazingly. Mr.. Joseph Parker played ..Baron
Balderdashu. as well as II he had never delighted
US in the nobler role OF "Polonius." -
Between the farce and the buriesque, tAessrs-
Wallace and Wood appeared in their really Sur
prising musical gymnastics. Their imitation OF
full brass band. each playing on three tnstru'
ments at once, was considerably better than some
realities we have heard. =
The German Ladies' Fair.
The Music Hall at the Academy last night was
| again filed with a gay crowd Of gallant Knights
and ladies fair. The coup d'oeR was brilliant and
dazzling; the tables with their varied bright col
ored treasures; the elegant ornamentation Of ever
greens and flowers; the bright and hsppy faces OF
the gay assemblsge, made brighter and happier
in listening to the strains OF sweet harmony, as
| dscoursed by Meyers band; the merry dance, OF
course, making things stIll more lively. Chances
were o1ered and taken; the postonice did aheaTy
| business; lIstle girls did brisk trade in the
"grab-bagD line and the loyeliest ladies' ofered
their sweetest smiles to induce the specimens OF
| the sterner gender, who happened to Cross their
| path, to take chances for variety OF articles,
| from a doll baby to fremsn's silver trumpet.
Considering that this Is the first fair the Ger
mans have ever had In Charleston, we canuos re
frsin from expressing our surprise at the admira-
BILE manner In which everything has been rnanag-
ed. In fact the arrangements appear to be aoso'
lutely perfect, and the best OF order prevails
everywhere The highest credit IL due tothe in
defatigable gentlemen OF the committee OF ar
rangements. We hope shat the receipts viii be
ample, and comm nsurste with the labor u love,
so freely bestowed by all the friends OF the good
cause, In behalf Of which these efforts have been
put forth.
