ART Entertainnent.

The art entArtaiunent at Ross,ni Hall last
ni,ht was very eujoSsb'e affair aud richly
merited the largo audiences which was preseh'.
The epteItaiument consisted of representa-
lions of Rogers groups, vocal and instrumental
music The solo by Miss Bry ant was admira-
bly, executed aud her rich contrato voice was
heard to good advantage. The q1altette by
Misses Bryant aud Webster aud Messrs. Hall
and Beckett was very fine. The Instrumental
music had the charm of novelty aud in some
paris was very pleasing. Perhaps the selections
were a srifls too long. The chief feature of The
entertainment was the statuary aud this has
rarely been exce!iedia this city. E ghs groups
We're represented Including "Cneck-rs at the
Farm" The Favorite Scholsr," Seeming to
the Parsou," "One More Shot, THE Parting
Promise 1.-THE School Examipatiop,"
sch 4lengipg the Q uion Vote" and "rhe Tap
on the Window" Ali of them were vary fine,
the general effect of the marble groups being
reproduced with great accuracy. To an
observer the counterfeit was perfect and it was
difficult to believe that the figures were
anrma'e and not what they seemed to b., the
product of the sculpto,'s art. The n'ertain-
ment will be repeated tonight and will un.
doubtedly call out another full house.
