Amasesussusts,

ing was . coed one. There was not thai
elaboration In delivery which gave tn,
hrst performance an impression Of tim.
rousness but the whole action rat
smoothly. In the early stages Of tn,
nrst act there was an absence Of feeling
IN the rendition OF characters, but 81
the plot OF the play developed ths
studied expression gave way to an easy
natural delivery, which, being true tc
the spirit Of the compositions .nstilled
into the audience an equal amount o.
appreciation, as was manifested In
the frequent bursts OF applause. -
The caste was the same as that In the
FIRST presentation with the exception Of
the character Of josephine. This wa;
acceptably assumed by Miss Ada Con.
ner The talent was local, and, being
amateur, altogether extraordinary. The
whole performance was one equal to
any professional entertainment ever
given in this city.

the melodies are bright, CHEEKY
ard catching, and there Is not
a dull number in the opera.
Many OF the parts are extremely diff
Gu aud require the greatest care in
their rendition, and the manner in
which these difficult passages were Civ
IN last night showed the company TO be
