During the past week citizens have
been occasionally startled by the appearance
Of number Of Turks or Bashi-Bazouks on
the streets. They form travelling dramatic
company. When they first came to the city
they attempted to give an entertainment at
the Masonic Temple on their own hook but
failed from lack of audience. Last week they
allied themselves with the regular troupe at
the Avenue theatre, and participated in the
closing part Of the programme In what was
called the greatest sensation Of the day, the
Turkish can can" The performance consisted
In a tedious, monotonous selection from Turk
ish opera, in which woman sang or hummcd
about hundred verses of very uninterest-
ing aud unintelligible song, while the others
sInatted down and beat kettle-drums The
dance was extremely vulgar, and possessed no
rsdssming features of beauty or grace.
