MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE DRUMMER BOY.

The Drummer Boy was repeated last even
ing to another large and enthusiastic audience.
The various features were received with ap-
plause and showed the careful drill of both
principals and subordinates. We should not
fail to mention the singing by both Miss Alice
Carle and Miss Greedy, which forms delight
full portion of the entertainment. We must
again enforce upon our readers the necessity of
securing seats before the evening OF perform
ance or they will probably be disappointed
This is not "taffy;" it is fact.

REMENYI.
Just prior to our centennial exhibition Ed
ward King. the versatile correspondent of the
Boston Journal gave graphic description of
the Hungarians who were creating great sem
sation in Paris by their music, swaying the
multitude at their will. He also wrote of
Remenyi, the great Hungarian violinist, who
entertained the people as ne one has since the
days of Ole Bull. Wilhelmj and Remenyi both
came to this country very near the same time,
and while the one held the attention and COM
manded the intense respect and admiration of
all by his solid playing and superb technique,
Remenyi carried his houses as by whirlwind.
For over five years he was violinst to Queen
Victoria, aud throughout this country he has
been received with crowded audiences. The
following will be the programme at Rossini
