listened to with wrapt attention UNI
til the close, when he was greeted .
with rounds of applause.
The next number, a pianoforte |
solo, by Mrs. Hanford, was rendered |
in that lady's inimitable style, and |
brought deafenipg applause. Mr..
Starkey next sang the "Death of |
Nelson" This gentleman was in
fine voice and sang in q mastery
manner. A prolonged and vocifer-
Gus encore was responded to by

was also received with vocilerous

sir, Yes" Miss Paris then gave a

tleman with an Italian Countess.

comical piece entitled, Especially

Mr.. p. G. Jones then entertained
the audience with five minutes
talk. He commenced his remarks
by saying, that he had not been
called upon to speak on account of
bio orntnr;col ,,ornrc bilt for LiG
shape. He SAID he had been taken
for an Irishman, but never to his
knowledge for an Englishman. He
referred to the Americans as having
q great deal of bunkum, especially
on the Fourth of July, and he was
no exception TO the rule. He re-
membered on one occasion having
stated in Fourth of July address
that his grandfather was killed in
the battle of Bunker Hill. Some
time afterward he was travelling
East and met man who had read
an account of that speech in the
papers, who in the course of his re-
marks said, it would be pretty hard
for anybody to know which side
Jones grandfather fought on from
his account, which proves that you
cannot always tell what man is by
what he says. He also stated that the
name of the vessel Caroline, sug-
gested a thought and that was "re-
lance" All men must have self
reliance. They cannot succeed in
life if they continually hang on to
others to help them through. He
said there were two causes why men
were deficient in self reliance. One
was, extreme !aziness, and the other
extreme modesty. To illustrate the
first, he related an anecdote of q
wealthy English gentleman who had
q servant named George, on whom
he depended for everything. One
day the master had a severe cold in
his head, and called to George for a
handkerchief. George hastily obey
ed the summons and brought the
desired article, whereupon the mas
ter said, "Hold it to my nose" The
servant did as he was commanded.
After minute or so, the master eX-
claimed, "Why the deuce don't you
blow?"
To illustrate the other point, he
related an incident that happened
to himself. When boy and a
school, he fell in love with a cir
, named Caroline. He was too bash
| full to carry on the business of love
3 making, so he got boy nameC
t John to carry letters and notes iron
r him to the girl. Things went OIL
very well for a time, but eventual,
0 John cut him out with the girl, ant
n he got left. He, Mr.. Jones, cam
to the Sandwich Islands, and som
t time afterwards John also came on
: here. With these anecdotes and a
d appeal to the men to cultivate self
e reliance, he closed his remark
S amidst burts of applause.
: The next was song by Mr.. I
n II. Davies, which was vociferousl
e applauded. The gentleman kindl
a responded to the encore and CAV
= another song in excellent style. MI
a Davies announced that Mrs. Pat
is would be unable to attend on az
t. count of domestic afliiction. Cor
v sequently Mr.. Davies song close
le the first part.
10 The second part was opened b
d Sir William Wiseman IN recitatio
t. entitled Roger and l. This gentle
N man possesses considerable histrioni
ability, and his rendering of th
part in which he is tormented wit
the demon of drink was remarkabl
I. fine.
