The two charades were admirably acted, each
character in them being sustained 10 perfection.
We would like TO speak Individually Of the rem
dition OF some Of the leading characters, but
when each was so we'll rendered we can but
think that If one did excel another II was owing
to the opportunity afforded by the part which
was taken in the play. 81. Inigoe' and the
Second are up TO the standard in dramatic tai
emit. The Tableaux were all presented with fine
effect and ELECTED deserved applause. The lines
Just before the presentation Of Lochinvar were
beautifully rendered by Miss L. Hunter. Indeed
there was q tasteful selection Of Tableaux and
there was beauty enough and manhood enough
to personate the idea from the realities OF Mary
Stuart and LOchinEar to the faneilul Oriental
hours Of LAilah Rookh. We were more than
amused AZ the srrape which oar hospitahIe host
fell into, but he made the best Of IL and brought
down the house with his second edition OF the
Sleeping Beauty. The music was given by the
Leonardiown Amateur Orchestra, composed Of
the following gentlemen Frank Ford, z. Ga
latti, II. r. Moore and 10. F. Morgan. Mr.. Jos.
s. AIIstan, In q few remarks, which were taste
fully delivered, then announced the conclusion
Of this part Of the entertainment and stated that
supper was prepared in "a adjoining room, which
he invited the company to partake Of. Thecom-
pany soon gathered In the supper room where
all the famed delicaces ofthiS section the coun-
~ in the way ofgood eating were ahundantly sup
Piled. We might not have been able TO have
fully appreciated the merits Of the theatrical and
musical parts ofthe performance, bat we are pos
itiveIy sure that we did appreciate this part, and
we failed tn notice any lack Of depreciation on
the part Of others. Supper over, the remainder
Of the evening was passed IN song and dance.
The company fingered late, and the daylight
was about peeping over the bills when The little
Cruces Of the Seminary said goodbye Tor home.
We have but one regret 70 make, and that is,
that the Indictment weather prevented n financial
success, but we have been informed that repe-
lition will be had on Wednesday evening, the
18th instant, when, we feel sure, such an audi
ence as this performance justly deserves will be
assembled to enjoy 1t.
