THE ENTERTAINMENT.
The children's canta ia last night
under the direction Of Miss Leila
Breed was performance we'll worth
witnessing, and attracted the atten-
ton of the immense audience in a
manner that evinced how much it
was appreciated. The performers sang
and acted we'll, but they were greatly
handicapped by the wretched assist
ance of the orchestra, which was GER
tainly not acting in harmony with
those on the stage. The piece
was OF decidedly aesthetic
caste and introduced some very
popular melodies from Gilbert &
Sullivan's opera of Patience, the
libretto adapted being, however, a
quite original and very clever effort.
After the performance, the orchestra
took possession OF the stage and played
selections at intervals, until the hour
for bringing the festivities to a close
arrived.
SOLID REFRESHMENTS.
The dining-room deserves patron
age from every visitor, for a more
pleasant repast could not be obtained d
anywhere. Everything about it is so
Immediately clean that the viands
tempt the appetite in manner much
more effectively than the rarest sauce
could do, and the amiability and per-
sonnel of the lady mattresses offers
another aud very strong inducement
for patronage. 1t is kept open from IL
A. NJ. to 10P. NJ, and entrance to it
can be obtained either from the exte-
rior or interior OF the building. LARGE
