Mrs. Russell has consented to give another

thoroughly organized than before our citizens
can count upon the grandest musical treat

is alive with fun yet replete with such seec-
tons AS can only be handled by the true
artist. Neither time nor pains will be spared

songs, and instrumental music cboruscs, du-
etts and solos, interspersed with character

doubt. So worthy an object and SO fine a
treat make such combination as cannot be |
