a very large audience, who expressed their de-
Lightly continued edapplause and daughter through
out the evening. The humor of the clown, Mr.,
Foster, produced the utmost amusement. The
various tricks in the progress Of the perform
ance, wore well executed, and never failed Of
success One OF the most remarkable features is
the part taken by Little Vic,p child OF years,
whose quick change Of dress, charming songs,
and extraordinary acting, certainly constitute
her youthful wonder 10 Little Dick y one of
the Garnelle Brothers, is also remarka-
