SPRING POETRY. : Seventy spring poets
have already been buried beneath the back
yard turf of this office, and there's room foI
more. When that spring poetical graveyard
is full an extension will be engineered. But
what would this world be but for but-a
| legal light has forwarded a production which
is worth reading, and though it looks as if he
had been guilty of plagiarism as to this, the
"pome" nevertheless it goes, but is not to
be deemed precedent by ambitious spring
rhymsters
Whereal ON certain boughs and sprays
| Now divers birds heard TO sing,
Aud sundry flowers their heads upraise-
Hail to the return OF spring.
The songs of those said birds arouse
The mem'ry OF our youthful hours
As green as those said sprays and houghs;
As fresh and sweet as those said flowers.
The birds aforesaid, happy pairs
| Live mid the aforesaid boughs enshrined
| In freehold nests themselves, their he rs,
| Administrators and assigns.
Oh busiest term of Cupid's Court,
| Where tender plaintiffs action bring,
| Season OF frOc and of sport,
| Hail, as aforesaid, coming spring.

City Minstrel Club gave an unexceptionally
good performance last night. The house was
packed in every part, and at $50 the sign
No More Room was hung out and scores
Of people were refused admission. Such an
ovation has never been accorded an amateur
club here. The members were in better
voice, sang better. acted better and came
up to a higher standard than at
any previous performance. The pro-
| gramme was long and the appearances
| so many that detail cannot be entered upon,
and the general and uniform excellence rem
ders it unnecessary. The orchestra gave the
company excellent support. The entire per-
| Torrance gave unqualified satisfaction to the
audience, which was at times wildly demon
strative in its manifestations. The club
should reconsider its proposition as to making
| last nights performance the last OF the sea-
| son, should floor over the parquet OF the the
alter, and give one of its double entertain
ments before summer fairly opens.
