to interfere with the evenings pleasure,
and additional amusement was afforded in
the first scene by the peculiarities of
=" Flossie's dog which was evidently a
"supe" and unaccustomed to life behind
the scenes. The company is well-balanced
and every part was ably sustained The
playing Of the Mechanics band orchestra
was surprise to most of the audience, and
it is hard to realize that with less than
years experience, and only one rehearsal
with the Montpelier assistants, so good work
could have been done. All our predictions

repeated. large attendance is expected
