Such are tho motives offered TO the attend.
ance OF the public.
Incidentally this occasion has been chosen
for the benefit of one of our most estimable
citizens, who has be en- intrusted with that
important department of the drama, the
| accommodation of the public. The benefit
accorded to the ladies and gentlemen of the
opera troupe has, we trust, impressed them
favorably with the appreciation tor high
art and hospitality of our people, but it
must not be forgotten that NJ. Ducatel is
gentleman of our own city, wlO is a perma-
nent participant in our good or evil tor
tunes. He has devoted himself ably, hon
estly, courteously and successfully to Our
accommodation, and whatsoever we or our
friends can do to encourage him in the con-
tinued service which he so well performs,
should be done. With his numerous friends
and well wishers, and with such an Incl
dental attraction as IL Africaine," we trust
Captain Ducatel will make a successful ap
peal to the public, whom he has served so
faithfully during the entire season.
