The EoLIAN ENTERrAINMENT.--T
Opera House last night was filled to
overfowing with an audience OF the
most cultivated and intelligent peo-
pie of this city and Middleport, to
welcome the 4Eolian Club of CALI
polls, upon the occasion OF their Civ
ing an entertainment here. The au.
dience was certainly a critical one
but so far as we have been able to
learn they were all well pleased with
the performance. The programme
presented consisted of variety Of
vocal and instrumental music, solos
duets, ETC., and a drama in pro
logue and three acts, entitled "Blow
for Blow" In the musical part they
were assisted by Major and Mrs. j
B. Downing, of Middleport, and ii
was rendered in an attractive style
The singing of the young ladies was
very much appreciated, and the in
strumental portion was all that skill
and cultivation could make it. The
play was an interesting one, and was
well acted. All who took part in il
showed considerable dramatic skill
and did uniformly well. We have
not space at this time to give syn
opsis of the plot or to particularize in
regard to the acting, but will say thai
it was effectively rendered. At the
close of the entertainment Mr.. w. S.
Wheatly, on the part of the Club, re
turned thanks for the large audience
and the cordial manner in which
they had been received, and extend
ed warm invitation to the Forrest
Club, of this city, to come to Cali
polls and give an entertainment al
their earliest convenience.-Pome
