CLIO.
This Club last night rendered "G ilded
Youth, melo-drama in four &C s. The
play is good one-is altogether ont of the
line usually selected by amateur clubs, yet
not beyond the capabilities of the Clio The

up fairly well. Taken as a whole its ren-

were about equally divided by Mr.. Went

messed at her hands. Mr. Wentworth's
Lawrence Trevor was unusually good,
Judged from an amateur standpoint, and
that gentleman gives promise of still better
things in future.
Mrs Donlon and Miss Crow did not
seem at ease in their parts, Though they
were tolerably well rendered.
Mr.. Best, as John Campion," spoke
louder than he did at the last performance
of the Club, still his personation of the char,

Mr.. Hynson appeared to good advantage
as the earl of Cameot," giving a placid
and elegant personation of the high-born
gentleman.
The remaining parts were only "so-so''-
those assuming them not being up to their

The cast was as follows:
Earl of Camelot. Hyns0n
Due de Montfort.........,.. MrCaDt
Lawrence Trevor. Mr.. Wentworth
Abel Whitcraft. Mr.. k"Dert
John Campion. Mr. Best

Just before the rising of the curtain Mr..
Gregg. the Secretary of the Club, came on
the stage, and after explaining the manner
of reselving seats for associate members,
proceeded to sell at auction the three re-
manning private boxes. They brought alto
gether only $24, whereas had some one with
a little auctioneering tact sold them they
would have brought readily twice that
amount.
