The Fan brigade.

showed up its spirit of art at the Opera
House. The occasion called together
crowd. The night was pleasant and the
large hall was full.
Miss Tracy Mcleod rendered very
sweetly piano solo, and soon after the
curtain went up, introducing the tab
leau, Mrs. Chandler being the directress.
The costumes in the simmer of light
sparkled with lOveliness, captured the
audience, and as the merry cavalcade
went through the evolutiOns there was
lively interest and grew with the
mazes OF the drill. The whole picture
was beautiful, its points being given in
an animating spirit. That little fan in
a wOman's hands, what romance are in
its folds and how graceful in art.
Miss Minnie Wilton. recited "MeIcy
Patience Jones'" bringing out all its odd
tiles very clearly aud with taste.
THE IMPREsSMENT.
Archie Newton, the British captain,
done up his role with credit. 1t is hard
for an American lad TO play the red-cOat,
especially when in rebellion to his in
wards. But Archie was acting part
and he braved it out like little man.
Fred Clement, prisoner, bound with
cords, but his American spirit was fore
most. He didn't shy much when told
he should die before night. No. Fred
was the Yankee sailor, and in the days
Of Lmpressment Yankee pluck was some
thing akin TO herOism.

Herman Handy and bright Guineas, the
cutting loose of the hands, The whiting
of that stick, with the jerking out to-
baccO juice, all WAS we'll done.
Charlie Soutbam, as Lieut.. Perley, was
in his place, ana did equally we'll his
part. This part Of the entertainment
interested the Old, and the "kids" were
up with applause.
Mrs. Ella Weigand danced the High

AS little nymph. she gave TO that dance
all its figures with exquisite art. APP

This tableau ever maintains it's inter
ests amongst the amusements Of the
young. Red Riding Hood and Butter
Cup were charming little elves. The
chorus of Blue Bells was another ex-
quisite tableau. and the merry good

so many angels, Of course it was de-
lightful sight. II the whole was not
faultless practice will do its part for the
future. Any way the schooling of the
young in those graces is the surest road
to happiness. because taste, culture in
the young widens out in the soul a sense
of the beautiful that grows as years
grow. But to Mr.. Fax it is unanimous

Prof. Sutherland was master of cere

to witness several such performances
or something akin to them. The young

fine men, and better yet, fine women
Love Of refined taste, a love of art {
culture, may be slightly spoken of by tn,
rude, but the rude age is fast passing
away. Men ard women can be all tha
industry demands, and have delight il
the finer shades of life. This is eivili
