some 800 persons seated. The com

we consider frst-class, and gave us as
advertised, one of the best entertain
ments ever had in our city. One of
the attractive features of this company
is that all the pieces they render are
Of high order, and not as usual, low
silly pieces. J. Prindle in his de-
scriptive and character songs is
immense. The Hennesey Brothers in
their witticisms, knock abouts, dances
etc. are good, all being free from that
roughness usually accompanied with
such parts The musical sketches by
Alice Witherell and Ed. Lindsey on
different instruments were heartily re-
ceived and loudly applauded
We can reccomend this company to
all pleasure seekers as being frst-class
