The Choral Club will repeat the
"Chimes OF Normandy" at the Opera
House early in June, the occasion being
a grand testimonial benefit which they
propose rendering their leader, Mr. O. B.
Rhoads. The board of directors have de-
cided on this course to show their appre-
citation of Mr.. Rhoads' services to the
club, as 1t has been mainly through his
efforts that the club has been made what
1t is. These services have been rendered
gratituitously, and as their intention to
re imburse Mr.. Rhoads cannot be carried
into effect on account of the expense at
tending the performances recently given,
benefit has been determined upon. This
movement should meet with cordial sup
port from every one and the house should
be packed from pit to DOME"

closed there was scarcely a single Arti-
ole left. The sale of ice cream averaged
80 gallons each night, and the demand
for tho homemade candles was 30
great that there are still n number Of
