playing being marked by a fine touch
and marvellous expression. Sig. MontegriTo

in the concert.
The saal family, father and nine boys think
OF it,, VIII give a military concert tomorrow
night and Sunday afternoon at Lyra Hall, and
Sunday night at the Park Theater.
"rhe Black Venus" Kiralfy's new spectacular
success, will be the attraction at English's the
tirst four nights of next week 1t will be pre-
scented by large and carefully selected com
pany, with grand ballet and wealth of gor-
geOus scenic effects.
The city police are selling great many tickets
for the engagement of Gus Williams at the

a decided hit here earlier in the season in his
new play, zone of the Finest" aud there is
every reason to believe that the coming engage
ment Will be equally successful.
