A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT

In the interval between Saturday anG
yesterday great many flowers bloomed
in the gardens about the city and made
| it possible for the entire rearrangemeni
OF the booths at the Flower Festival
yesterday. A general call had been is
sued for flowers, and they were gener.
ously responded to, SO that the ladies
and their assistants had plenty of ma.
terial to work with. The redecoration
of the booths kept them busy until night.
fall, and the result was most charming
when viewed by the artificial light at
night. There was very large attend
ance last night, drawn there by the an
nouncement that the tableaux, "Ls-
gends from many lands" would be
given on the stage, and by the
knowledge that the scent of the flowers
would not be the same that they had in
hailed during the first nights of the
season. The weather was also pleasant.
and this brought out many who other
| wise would have stayed at home. The
ladies in the various booths had their
time fully occupied in attending to the
| wishes of their many friends, and
especially was this SO of those in the ice
cream, lemonade and soda water booths.

ers in the ice cream booth found them
selves very busy all evening in giving
the proper attention to those who patron
lied their wares. The Philharmonic
booth. newly decorated, attracted more
than usual attention, owing to the excel

booth, as usual, came in for its share of
praise.
THE TABLEAUx.

the company of travellers part. on the
shore of the River of Stars; to the right
the royal barge containing Lila Rookh
and Feramorz to the left the boats con-
tanning Fadladeen and the ladies of
honor. At the close of each verse of the
poets song an inner tableau was dis

unveiling of the Mokanne. Then came
the death of Hinda, and the piece came
to conclusion with the Paradise and the
the Peri. The characters were sustained
by Miss Lulu Kimbal, as Lalla Rookh,
Mr.. L. Rowan, as Feramorz, and Mr.. u.
Cochrane. as Fadladeen, while ladies OF

to Elsa's prayer.
Scene 2.-Procession to the minister.
Scene 3.-Elsa, unfaithful to her prom
| Use, is to lose Lohengrin. The time al
lotted has arrived, and the swan boat
bearer has come to carry him away.
Lohengrin bids her farewell and then
prays that, ,as reward for his faithfulness,
Elsa's brother, who is suffering enchant-
ment, may be released. His prayer is
answered, and the dove descending con-
veys the magic chain, which Lohengrin
