The last tableau given Was very beauti-

cross, as the only hope. The young lady
who took the part wac admirably draped
and posed, and appeared to be veritable
statue.
The entertainment closed with the
chorus "Good Night" give.l by the Young
Ladies' Guild.
Much credit is due to all who partici-
pated in the entertainment, and especially
to Mrs. Hark, under whose immediate 81:
pErvision the programme was an.cd
and presented. We hear many requests
made by persons who could not get into
the lall last night that the entertainment
he repeated, that all may have all oppnr-
tunity of seeing it. Perhaps it may but
probably will not, be repeated.
