the church in South Reading on the even

the roads almost impossible, the chutch

Misses Kinsman and Vittum and Messrs
Fisher and Wood, who rendered the piece
il very acceptable manner. The enter

leaux, laughable pantomimes and side
splitting farces, interpreted with instru-

the best of all was the closing scene. The

hands of Montford Wilkins, who accom-
