East Lynne " Last Night.
Those present in the opera house last
evening were treated to the best perform
ance Of the season. 1t was the rendition
of" East Lynne" by Miss Ada Gray, sup
ported by an excellent company. Without
fear Of contradiction We can safely say
that this charming actress has no equal in
the character of Lady Isabel and Madame
Vine. From her first appearance on the
stage to the death scene her audience were
intensely interested in the varying phases
Of this excellent play. In the fourth and
fifth acts there was hardly a dry eye, so
effective was her acting. To mention the
excellent performance of her support
justice would require moro space than we
can use. But We will say, never was a
support better nor costumes more elegant.
The troupe plays in Lancaster this evening,

"cuts" caught hold of each other and each
did bis best TO whip his antagonist.
The smaller got the worst. as he was
lifted from his feet and placed on top of a
hot stove. But he quickly got of, run
out of tic ca5oose and jumped Oh a coal
car His two enemies ran after him and
the fight was renewed. After whipping
him until their anger was appeased the
scene ended. 1t was great wonder that
in the melee they did not fall off the train.

manner, 10y two men whipping one boy.
