The 1Iartfuctti-Ravel Troupe.

A still larger house greeted this troupe
last evening, every available inch being
occupied by one Of the most fashionable
audiences that for long time has graced
this theatre.
Paul Martinetti performed his "Zamphy-
lion, or the leap for life" with more ease
than he did on the preceding evening, and
consequently did not fail to win the much
desired applause.
The children prodigies are as popular as
ever, winning the afestion and hearts of
the ladies as soon as they put their cunning
little heads dpon the stage.
MI Huntley, who has made himself such
a great favorte, and who is without doubt
one of the most artistic banjo performers in
the country, was received by the audience
with great enthusiasm. He sang several
original songs, including that Of "If You
Know What l Know" and Elite, You
Don't Know" His new version is sue
cess. He was also the recipient Of a floral
tribute from enc Of his admirers.
The rest Of the performance was rendered
in the admirable manner for which the
Martinetti family are so Iamous
A new bill will be presented this evening,
and every one should witness the pcrtcrm-
ance Of this truly excellent troupe.
