The strong advertising Of Messrs.
Taylor and Hawley for last Tuesday,
together with the music of the band,
filed the Opera House, and it is draw
ing it mild to say that the majority
were sadly disappointed. Mr.. Taylor's
speech was rebash of the stock argu-
ments. or rather assertions of the par

and presented his side of the case in a
manner creditable to an astute lawyer,
but in u contrary argument to the first
speaker. OuI space forbids review
