WELL DoNE.-The performance given
by the Gymnasium Club at City Hall on
Thursday night, 18th inst, was decided
success. The acting by the boys in their
lfarces was beyond all expectation, and
the large audience were completely de-
lighted. The great trouble with the au-
dience was that the performance ended
too soon. The singing was good. The
farce entitled "Siamese Twins was well
received. e. w. Reed. as "Simple ST.
mon," was received with tremendous
appl use. Mount, Anderson, Parshall
and McLain, "The Big A." on the hori-
zontal bar, would have been credit to
professionals. The performance closed
with the roaring farce: GLOW Dat Dog
Has Growed." The Club will give
another entertainment with an entire
new programme tonight (Saturday),
and we predict for them crowded
house.
