Credit and Delight - Large
Audience.

II was a rare audience that was as
sembled at the Clara Conway lnstl-
tute last night to witness the chill
dren's operetta and the other enter
tanning features Of the evenings pro
Qramme, an audience composed in the
main of the fair sex, rich in loveliness,
keen in critical appreciation and en-
thusiastic in a~pplsuSe. The number
OF gentlemen present was small,
doubtless owing to the limited num-
bar of invitations issued, but they
seemed to enjoy the proceedings quite
as much as the other sex, and contrib
u.ed their share to the great volume
of applause that rewarded the efforts
Of ali who participated in the pro-
g1amme, which was as follows:
