AT HOME,

rur cHuRCH CHOIR PINAFoRE COMPANY
has closed its brief season with most remarkable
success. At the outset it WAS apparent that the
music OF this work would be well donc as almost
all the parties engaged were excellent and e1pe-
rienced singers; hut very few. even Of their most
sanguinc friends, looked for any decided dramatic
results from the performances:. In this regard,
hnwever. the representations have been genuine
surnrise. and personations like those OF Mrs Falk.
Miss bartlett, Alr. McWade. and Mr.. Bowen. have

Thomas L. Finney, who have had the active man

much to make ita success, have completed arrange
ments to keep the troupe together for this season

works.
To-morrow evening the theatre tHaverly's) will
te occupied by the Beethoven Society. who will
close their season by what promises to be mem-
orable performance OF
yERp1's "IANzoS1 REQulEN."
For the proper production OF this Impressive wofR
tho m.uapement have secured Miss Annie Louise

Adams aud Mr.. Comfy, Of the Strakosch troupe,
for the solos, 40 that we may take 1t Tor granted
