1--WE regret that Washington hall was

evening, So thai the E,tty Guards OF Brat
tleboro might have had the pecuniary sue
cess they 50 richly deserved. But eth the
| audience was very lair one aud made up
| from the best circles uI our village society.
The frequent applause, given in a Sponla-
| neous, enthusiastic way. attested the high
| est appreciation Of the play and the fine
acting. The drama presented was Tom
TaylOr's "licket-of- Leave Man." aud as
| amateurs who have had but slight ac.
| quaintance with the Stage, our neighburs
| from Brattleboro lairiy surprised us with
| their artistic requirements. MIR. Libby's
Bob Briefly" Mr.. Willis James BAL
| ton," Mr.. Underwood's "Hawkshaw."
and Miss Sprague's May Edwards"
| showed the finest conception of the play
aud ability to personate its characters like
| true professionals. The minor parts were
| also well sustained, aud We promise the
Guards brilliant career before the foot
| lights If the entertainment here Is but
| beginning. The Guards were accompanied
| by an excellent orchestra, which furnished
music OF the highest order. Come again.
