hope Of relief TO the bsieaguersd garri-

Bryant lot the cOiucr's d-paItm-nt1 Of
the Mint. 1t IS proposed by these gen,
tlemen With whom We had sn interview
last night to have this concert as soon
ss next week. though the day has not vet
been fixed on. 1t is also proposed that
after tn. concsr. handsome spread Of
good thines to eat and drink be made at
the State House-the guests of the occa-
sion being, Of course, the ladies and
gentlemen taking part in the concert.
1t sssms to US that there is good deal
Of "nutrimsnt" in xll this Nothing
could promise better A. a round and top
to the relief fund than the mon.ysuhich
are sure TO b. forthcoming from such .
benefit concert as We Lsve limited at
and nothing conceivable could be hand
somsr or moro fitting than to wind up
the nights cheer and glory with . rich
and stimulating supper. Move rapidly,
Hsssieurs OF tho committee, and strik.
while the iron is hot. The notion O!
waiting to get a good ready on hy re-
hesrsals and all that might do for less
urgent times, but in this case, ladies and
gentlemen OF the singing societies, you
must trust to your inspiration and to the
of old songs will be sweet in the ears Of |
the warm hearted men and women who /
will flock TO hear you, and the harsh |
voice Of carping criticism will be drowned /
amid the plaudits OF n hearty and gen
srous applause awakened to ten-fold !
emphasis by the thrill Of . noble and |
openhanded charity. Push on, then,
with the work, and lot it not lag and |
grow cold with procrastination and the |
delays Of an imaginary unreadiness. An |
audience. We may be sure,
is ready and anxious for the entertain |
ment to begin.
P. Slater in the evening the sub
committee came in to tell US that they
bad concluded to have . promenade con-
which, We suppose. means com
bination OF concert and ball. All right.
THEATRE LAST NIGHT" Rip Van
Wrinkle drew . big house last night
he fullest of the season. The attend
lnce was emphaticslly we'll deserved,
md We have seldom seen our play -goers
more highly pleased with a dramatic
performance. Mr.. Ashton's rip" was
~ al odds the best presentation of that
character we have ever had here,
Hsrne' rendition Of that difficult role
not excepted. Miss Belle Douglas Dame
Van WIukle was tirst-class and tho
whole company performed most admira-
bly,. 1t j. by such performances as this
hat til. company of accomplished art
SITS will gain and retain the confidence
and patronage Of this community. Mis-.
Annie Eirmin and Mr.. John Jack as Mr..
md Mrs. Lullaby in The Conjugal
Lesson gave US some very racy acting.
. Pride elsewhere notsd, tonight.
