OUR BOYS. The amateur entertainment ut HAY
ford Hall Tuesday evening was Highly credtabc,
not only to those who participated in it, but t. the
city, and demonstrated that Belfast ucod not send
abroad for vocal, Instrumental or hstrionc talent
The overture and the selections given between the
acts by Messrs Chase and Sanborn, viohui5t. and
Miss Mary Faunce, plants, deli. htcdly rem
dered and greatly appreciated 1t was a vast i'm
proyement over the average professional orchc--
ira. The scenery and stage appointments were
equally deserving Of concentration. and indeed
all the details had evidently received careful at
tention, and showed both good judgment and good
taste, There was another noteworthy feature of
the entertainment. The players were, unc and ALL
''lettcr perfect and the promptcr was neither
visible nor audible. The comedy i. one OF the
best Of modern dramas, and il wen adapted for
amateur presentation. There is no star part, to
which all the others subordinate bait each
character is 50 individuazcd that the honor-
and applause may be fairly divided. And they
were 50 divided Tuesday evening. or course
there were preferences expressed by the audience
at the close Of the entertainment and some were
held to have excelled their associates. But as al
did not agree upon any one, the result Wds a hi4i
need Of praise for all. 1t is one uf the UnWrttet
laws of journalism that on such occasions amateurs
are not to be criticised individually, and AZ The
cast has been published in the Journal for the pas
two weeks we need not repeat it now. The sons
given by Miss Maud Millikcn between the first an,
| second acts strengthened the very favorable ia
preston @he had heretofore made as Il sweet ant
| pleasing vocalist and was deservedly cucored. II
conclusion it may be said that our Girls a. wei
as Our Boys, acquitted themselves admirably, an0
gave she large audience present most delightful
