could come from distance and only the

BY most Of the gentlemen and several Ia

The entertainment was begun 81 a ors

Of which was indicated BY . most enthu-

and still later in the evening. the Tableau

Miss E. r. B. and little v. A.. called
forth the most admiring applause. These
Tableaux were gotten up with exquisite
taste. and received as they justly meritcd
the most lavish praises Of the assembly.
II is next our pleasure to revert to the
musical. the main feature of the entertain
ment. the beauty Of which can hardly be
spoken Of in terms Of too high common
dation. The corps Of musicians was COM
posed Of Mrs. F., Miss H.. Miss E.. Miss
A., Miss D.. Mr.. Pearson. Mr.. Galatti,
Mr.. Moore. Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Ford.
Where every part was sustained with 81
much distinction. it is difficult to decide
to which We will refer particularly, since
time and space fail US to attempt even a
poor tribute to each. Mr.. Pearson frs.
appeared in solo. "FIee as Bird" and
next in duet with Mr.. Galatti, "Kiss
me aud I'll 60 to Sleep" The thorough
knowledge Of music possessed by these
gentlemen and the beauty Of their voices
made them great acquisition to the troop.
aud We can bestow no higher praise than
to say We have never heard them do bet
than on the night in question. Both the
pieces alluded to we're beautifully render
ed, and the latter. truly touching in it.

manner in which it was sung. These gen.

the evening, and we're always greeted
with the warmest applause. Mr.. Galatti
in his banjo performances was encorel sew

"Only Love Me" was surprising. Her
voice is Of great natural power and sweet

voices of these ladies are beautiful, and

appreciation of her 6ue voice. Great
praise is due to Mcssrs. Moore. Ford, Nor.

Of their orchestral performances. The
whole affair passed of most agreeably. and
We believe that We but echo the wish Of
the entire audience when We express the
hope that We may be favored st no distant
day with like entertainment By che same
company.
