A pleasing incident took place the other
night at Maguire's Theatre, San francisco.
Mrs. Oates was presented with a singing-oird
in cage, which was placed on table in the
scene, and Mrs. Oates began singing " Good
Bye, Sweetheart, Goodbye" Then The i'm
prisoued singer forgot bis bars in listening
10 those of the song. The song swelled, and
the bird being melted thereto by a note
clearer than usual, rushed into melodious
conflict, and sang as who could sing the
sweetest, until the audience doubted to
which of these "rival songsters" should
most praise be given.
