week before large and select audiences,
for the benefit of the West Augusta

These pieces were put upon the stage
with all the necessary surroundings and
arranged for the best effect. The scenery
was designed and painted especially for
the occasion by Prof. Richard, assisted by

admired On either side of the stage was
a stack of arms of the Guard, while on the
extreme right was a banner, blue ground
and white fringe. presented to them oy
the ladies during during the war, and OIL

the inscription, West Augusta Guard,
organized 1852 and above each stack Of
arms q beautiful monogram, executed by
Prof. Richard.
The cast of characters, previously given
in the VINDICAToR, consisted of the
dramatic talent of the Company and
several ladies OF talent in the city.
The plays were well presented, as evil
denced by the large audiences each sue
ceeding night, and the characters
thoroughly studied and admirably render
ed. We may, without invidious CON-
parison, mention most favorably, Dan and |
Neil O'Carolan, Judy O'Trot Indeed we |
have rarely seen on any stage better Irish |
character than Judy O'Trot) Ragged Pat
and Florence. in ssIreland as it U.s." and
Sir Peter Puddle, and Teddy Roe and
tertainments were a grand success for
amateurs.
The 'Stonewall' Orchestra, led by Prof.
Turner, volunteered their services for the
occasion, discoursng most excellent
music. Par parenthesis, we may add that
Prof. Turner also wrote out and arranged
the music especially for these entertain
ments.)
At the conclusion Of the entertainment,
Saturday night, Mr.. W. B. McChesney,
who was in each cast, presented, on behalf
of the company, to each of the young
ladies who had assisted, a handsome silver
cup, as testimonial Of the high regard Of
the Company, accompanying it with some
happy and appropriate remarks.
The Company have now in preparation
several other pieces and we may expect
other interesting home entertainments
shortly.
In this connection we may also state
that the s'Masonic Choir" of Washington.
D. c., $50 members) have voluntarily ten
dered their services, gratis, to the Com
pany, and we may expect at no very dis
tant period, to again hear that superb
Choir in our city.
