Davenport Club.

The Davenport Club gave an
entertainment at Robinson's Opera
house last evening, consisting oi
"Checkmate" and "A Winning Hazard.'
There was fine audience present, but
the Club failed to show their usual ex-
cellence. One or two of the readers had
evidently never read over their parts,
and the consequence was some weari-
some waits and considerable stumbling.
TO this sad state of affairs there were
some honorable exceptions, notably the
acting OF Messrs. A. W. Pape and L. L..
Coleman.
The "School for Scandal is to be
given by the Club next Thursday,
when they will undoubtedly give bet
ter account of themselves.
