mind the fact that he had had but
one rehearsal of the part, and this
his first appearance with the club,
we think he did finely. The part
of John Gale was assigned to Mr..
Godfrey, but, owing TO illness he
was unable to take it; this was
not known to the manager until
the evening of the performance,
when he, with his hands full of
stage work, donned the garb of
the fisherman, and, chuck full of
pluck, played the part in a very
acceptable manner. Kate Ray
mond, the city belle, was taken by
Miss Emma Crowell, who did her
work nicely; besides improving
rapidly, she is winning many ad-
mirers. Miss Susie Kelly, as Kitty
Gale, played her part to perfec-
ton her easy manner and good
acting eliciting much applause,
and although "dooced weawy, ah,"
she got the bread and mlasses.
Mrs. Knight, as Mrs. Gale, fully
sustained her we'll merited reputa-
ton she had a good conception of
the character, and personated it in
excellent style.
Jumbo jun has been presented
by the club before, with the same
cast, except the parts of Adelaide
and Hannah, which were taken by
Miss Crowell and Mrs. Knight, re-
spectively. The piece was well
played, and seemed to immensely
please the audience.
We should suggest, that if the
actors would speak little louder
anu ulOTc ulSlluCt, anu dufduCt
nearer the front of the stage while
speaking, the audience could hear
and understand better.
The club has labored under many
disadvantages in getting up this
entertainment, and in consequence
were obliged to give up one
evenings play. They intend
ed to give two performances, with
change of programme for each
evening, had learned and rehearsed
the plays, but owing to one of the
club being called away upon bust
ness, they were obliged to postpone
it, but will, at some time in the fu-
ture, present it to the public. And
Notwithstanding the difficulties un-
der which they labored, the en-
tertainment was the best ever Civ
en- by the club, and we were pleas
ed to see the house well filed.

The Dramatics.

The entertainment given by the
Dramatic Club, on Tuesday even
ing of last week, was in all res
poets first class, and, judging from
the smiling faces of the audience,
and the applause they gave
the actors, it was highly appre-
ciated by all present. Nothing
seemed to mar the rendition of the
plays; everything run like clock
work all being well up in their
parts, and, as general thing, easy
and graceful on the stage. Criti-
cism of the various characters is
superAuous, as the entertainment,
in our judgment, excelled all pre-
vious attempts of the club.
The parts in "Down by the Sea"
were well presented by l.. G.. Da-
foe, as Raymond, who took the
part we'll and sustained his excel
lent reputation in the line of char
acters he takes. Mr.. Comfort, as
Capt. Dandelion, did admirably in
the new role assigned him, a part
bordering on the Lord Dundreary
style, difficult one for amateurs,
but John was equal to the occa-
sion. Mr.. Huntington, as Sept.
Gale, performed his part exceeding
ly well, this being his first appear
ance on the stage. He was nat
urally a little embarrassed at times,
but did effective work. The in
domitable Eccles, as March Gale,
was up to bread, black eyes and
molasses In the new role he played,
and although a Jobs comforter
quietly rested on the back Of his
neck, he lost no opportunity to do
good business. Johnnie Patterson,
as Grapeau, the French peddler,
won much praise; and bearing in
