THE HAY-MAKERs."-The beautiful one,

THE HAY-MAKERs." The beautiful operat-
ic Cantata entitled "The Haymakers," COM
posed by the popular musical writer Mr.. Geo.
F. Root of Chicago, has been in preparation in
this city for month or two past, and it is to
be brought out this week at the City Hall, I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Charles e. Hodgkins,
gentleman who has had long experience in
presenting this Cantata in several of the prin-
cipal cities of the United States. The opera is
a faithful and characteristic illustration of all
the usual scenes and incidents of haying field
in the country, commencing with the early ris-
ing call and following the operations of hay
making through the season. The hard-hu
ried labor of ''raaking hay while the sun
Shines" the moving, ssiraking, pitching and
hauling into the barn; the noontide meal amid
the sultry, oppressive heat, the vicissitude of
thunderstorm, and the haste to secure the hay
from the rain; then the clearing off and the
rainbow of promise; and the merry making,
the comic incidents of city fop, and at last
the rejoicings of the harvest home. All these
illustrations are given In refined and most ap-
propriately arranged music-solos, duets and
trios-aided by large chorus of some fifty vo-
calists, while some new and appropriate seem
cry adds its effect. Some of our most popular
singers taFe the prominent parts, as will be
seen by reference to oar advertising columns.
We had the pleasure of attending compl-
mentary rehearsal of the Cantata at the Fal-
mouth Hotel Friday evening, and we can con-
fdently promise the public that a most pleas
ing and satisfactory entertainment awaits
them. 1r.
