This combination gave their opening per
Torrance last evening at the Theatre to a
fine audience, mainly composed of strangers
In the city. The entertainment commenced
With a pleasing little comedy, requiring e
cast Of three persons, entitled Perfection, !"
which was capitslly rendered, and was well
rec+ lived. This was followed by protean
and musical extravaganza entitled "Scraps,"
which proved 10 be a bundle of incongru-
Gus absurdities, without pith or point, and
which was almost wearying In It's nonsense,
although there was no lack OF applause.
The frol;cs OF the picnic party might have
been carried On without such undue fsmil
isritY with the colored servant, who en- pas
sGnt. was clever actor, and contributed
greatly to the delight of the gallery. This
was certainly feature that could have been
well omitted, which would have pleased the
audience better.
Miss Fanny Tallack, who is the leading
lady, has handsome and attractive pres
cree, Is gracefa! and possesses a sweet
voice. Her singing was good, and in the
little comedy she eviEced considerable dra-
matte talent, and gives promise for the flu
ture. The company play again tonight
with a change of programme.

furniture in this city, comprising everything
wanted by housekeepers, aud also splendid
assortment of carpets, rugs, shades, cur

tanning his fitness for the Office, and we
bear unsolicited and cheerful testimony to
that fitness. He has been tried for num-
Der of years and found In every way quail
fed.
The business and duties OF the Office are
now carried on and discharged In most
satisfactory manner by Major Fcrrill and
| his efficient assistants.
The office OF Ordinary, as you are aware,
Is Eost important one. Frequently legal
questions Of an Intricate character have to
be determined by the Ordinary citing as
Judge. We are quite sure that the duties
Of the Office cannot be properly met save by
an incumbent OF experience, intelligence
and OF considerable legal information.
You have found the present incumbent
efficient and acceptable. You know him to
