fourth of the progress that could be
made during the year, fully. one-fourth
of the work that should he done, is 60

and every act was received with loud
applause. The different acts of the

contortions. Yet this was done last

it. The play closed with a grotesque

either electric lights or gas, and is an
other reason why one of these. should.be
put in AZ once.
