Of the Lily Clay burlesque company when
now defaces every wall aud sign board IN
she city has been surrounded during the
week with a staring crowd of youngsters
and bald heads; if any Of the fair sex were
attracted to the crowd out OF curiosity,
they invariably hurried by with blushing
countenanccs. This printing, which is the
lewdest and loudest which any strolllng

pictures torn down; if there is not, it
should result in one being introduced in

feeling we think it ranks with the tenderest
conceptions of the standard melody writers
Of the day.
