large, enthusiastic audience present to applaud

'laughabie comedy" entitled 'Losi AT Long Branch"
IN which Mr. Sheldon created much amusement by his
anxiety Tor the welfare Of his only baby. The other
Characters were very subordinate and allowed the per-
formers but little opportunity TO display their talents
The performances closed with the rather ancient bur
