 "CAsrE. Rebertsons comedy of"Caste" wss produced last evening at the Prescott Theatre, and, although Intervening was cold, the attendance was fair. The various char acters were we'll persopated. Du Souchet made good "Eccles." Mrs Martin, as ''Esther, was first rate; and Carrie Wilkins, as Polly" Esther's sister, was considered superior. Of the many entertainments given by the Club, since the erection of the new theatre building and their organiza- tion, "Caste" was probably the poorest se- lection made and placed on the boards; however, it was the request of different parties that it be produced, and to please those who are ID love with Caste" 1t was allowed to be placed on the boards. There never was much in the piece, but what little merit it has, was brought out by the Pres colt amateurs, who are all quite clever and capable of making the most out of any Comedy, Farce, or Tragedy.
