The Variety Entertainment AT
Manchester.


Hall, in Manchester, on Wednesday
evening, to attend the Grand Variety
Entertainment, which had been in pre-
paration for some weeks. The audience
was not entirely composed of the people
of Manchester, for large delegations
were present from Bennington, Airing
ton, Dorset, and other towns in the Vi
entity. Sixty-seysn persons were pre- /
sent from Rutland and vicinity, who
were conveyed by special train, through
the courtesy Of Superintendent White,
of the Harlem Extension road.
At = o'clock the exercises were COM
menced with an instrumental overture,
by the Rutland Quadrille Band assisted
by musicians from Bennington. The
programme was then carried forward by
local talent, who appeared as a band of
q burnt Cork gentleme under the
successful management Of Col. Mason
s. Colbnrn. It would be simply impos-
sible to follow the Company through
their varied successful and amusing ex-
ploits, which We're each admirably per-
formed, notwithstanding the apology of
Col. Peter Piper Pickles.-for the
health and condition Of his troupe.
Song and chorus 'Happy tonight" by
Marcus Tullits Cicero. was rendered in
an excellent manner. The comic song
Hash" by Julius Caesar, brought down
the house, and Hard Times" was effec-
tive in keeping the audience in good hui
NOR, and Mary had little Lamb, cx-
ecuted by Pickles" tended to increase
the ''convulsiyc irrcprcsibility Of the ALL
dience."
Among the most Iudicrous musical
performances was that Of the ''Instru-
mental solos on the 'Swincolincello and
Quincuplexioneon by the Benzine
Brothers, Josephus and Adolplus," 1t
surpassed all description, and the novel
tyOf these eXtemporiZcd instruments was
thus described on the programme
These elegant and mclodiou5 instru-
ments, have been procured at great eX-
pesc for this occasion, having been but
lately introduced into this country. For
volume Of tone, purity and sweetness
they are unsurpassed. Lovers If fine
music cannot fail to enjoy this part Of
the entertainment, and they did enjoy
it hugely,
