The complimentary entertainment of
this Club, last evening, met with q
crowded house, number being turned
away on account of the small hall. This
Club should be brought into more promi-
nence, as they have the talent to make a
strong dramatic company, above the ay-
erage of amateur societies. The read
ings given were "The Naval Engage
ment" and s'Turn Him Out" We regret
our space will not permit of an extended
notice Of the individual caste, but it is
but proper that due Acknowledgements
Should be made to Miss Cosper, Miss
Riggs, and Messrs. Mcdonald, Foster
and Lyons, for their faithful conception
of their respective characters and the
clever way in which they performed the
part allotted them.
In "Turn Him Out" Mr.. De Witt, as
"Roseleaf," foppish fellow, created
much mcrriment and made a decided
hit. He should be encouraged and caste
more often than heretofore.
The Society have changed the night of
their readings hereafter from Monday TO
Thursday, every alternate Thursday at
at Vickers' Hall, corner Eighth and
