have an opportunity of Witnessing. The
audience was not as large as expected,

On the contrary, the attractions consisted
of an entire company of genuine Chinese,
appearing in their oriental costumes.
One of the principal attractions il Mrs.
Shu Sun Sen, wife of one of the perform
ers, lady of high caste, having foot
but three inches long. She is accom-
panied by two children, All Quai, and
All Fong. The entertainment On the

ship, music and style of dress gave one a
correct idea. regarding their people of
foreign cline. We can truly recommend
it as q frstclass entertainment"
