1t is to be hoped tTe Knights of Fythias
who are contemplating the erection OF a
large hall in the near future, will build
it SO that theatrical performances can be
given in It. Our city has need of such a
hall as both our amusement places have
fallen into the hands Of strangers, and as
consequence the rents haye been raised
to such n figure that it would be almost
folly to give an entertainment In either
