If the Knights had made spec

could not have been better suited than
with the weather Yesterday. The air

! At TURNER HALL.
1t is not necessary to say that Tuancr
Hall Was completely packed with the
Knights and their lady friends last night,
and that the ball given
! in honor Of the occasion
was success - everybody anticl-
patcd such result. The crowd WAS much
/ too large for those present to enjoy the
dancing festivities. yet they were con-
tnucd until late hour this morning and
all seemed happy. The music was cX'
ccllcnt. and everything was done by the
/ committee who had the matter in charge
to have the ball pass otfwith the greatest
success. 1t will long be remembered.
THE OrERA IOUsE-Considcring thu
| fact that there were 81 many other mat
! tiers going on last evening to attract the
attention of the public, II good audience
/ greeted Miss Mamie Sargent, to witness
her representation of Fr"u Frou. The
: play itself is exceedingly interesting
and the conclusion very affecting, n
several noistcnrd cyc> in the audience
did we'll testify. Miss Sargent rs the
pretty, frivolous, charming, but weak
Frou Fruu. did du" justice 10 her char
actcr.. The play was fnullIcs-ly
placed upon the stage, and
the support given was almost
uncxccptional; better good deal, than
i, usually seen in II place no larger than
Wheeling. The fair nrtistr received two
calls before the curtain. and the audience
were, throughout, we'll pleased.
Tonight She takes benefit, on which
occasion she will appear rs Pauline i'll
Bulwcr's standard comedy, The Lady of
Lyons" Thi, play is well known that
it i, needless to speak Of it further. Sut-
fee it to .ay. that if its rendition is equal
To the former efforts Of the beneficiary
and company, she should receive II gen
crous acknowledgment Of merit at the
land, Of the public.
