Entertainments.

There was large audience at the Hyperion
Thsater last evening to greet the first appear
ance in this city of the justly celebrated Ball
moral Choir of Scotland. The concert was
given under the auspices of Clan Mcleod No.
81, o. s. O., and was most enjoyable one in
every respect. Too much praise cannot be
accorded to the choir for their exceptionally
fine singing. The choir is composed of Eve
ladies and four gentlemen, who sing all their
selections without accompaniment. All pos
cess pure, sweet voices and it Is to be doubted
if such perfect part singing was ever before
heard In this city. They are admirably train
ed, and under the skilful leadership of Mr..
Walter Bruce they give great expression to
everything they sing. All of the solos were
excellent and all of the soloists received de-
served encores. Miss Ross has a remarkably
sweet and powerful contralto voice, which
was heard to good advantage in "Auld Robin
Gray" MIR. William Young also possesses a
magnificent bass voice, which he uses very
effectively. The solos Of Miss Goodwin and
Mr.. Kerr were both well rendered, but were
marred by the poor piano accompaniment.
Of the many selections rendered by the choir
the best were the part song "To Mary"
which was specially composed by Sir Herbert
Oakeley for this American tour of the choir,
and the part song arranged by Patterson, sol
Why Left Ny Hams!" Both Of these songs
were sung as perfectly as they could
be. The entertainment was enlivened
by Mr.. r. j. Patrick, who admirably gave
several humorous and pathetic ROTATIONS II
the Scottish dialect. The choir may resi-
| assured that should they receive another en-.
gagement in this city they will receive a
large audience. Clan Mcleod is to be con-
graduated upon the fact that such q thor
oughly pleasing entertainment was given
under its auspices, and it could do No better
than to arrange for the temperance Of the
choir before the end of the season. The
committee in charge of the affair were: John
Brown chairman, EVEN MoIntre of Mcintyre,
Mcguire & Co., George Bone, Charles Cam
sron, John Campbell, Hugh Robinson and
Duncan Mcdonald.
BENNETT AND MoULToN OPERA COMPANY.
The Bohemian Girl was sung to packed
house by the Bennett and Noulton company
at the Grand last night. The company's
visit SO far has been remarkably profitable
one, the house being filled to its utmost ca
pacity at every performance. This afternoon
Chimes of Normandy and Tonight Olivette
will be sung.
ALONE IN LONDON.
The last two performances of Alone In Lon
don will be given at Proctor's this afternoon
and evening. 1t is a strong play. Miss Leslie
Leigh appears to good advantage in the
princinal feminine role, and Charles A.
Smith also does some good acting.
SAID PASTA.
This bright oriental opera will be presented
at the Hyperion on Monday and Tuesday
evenings of next week. The first act is in
Constantinopls in the gardens of the "Pasha,
with gorgeous oriental palace glittering in
the distance. Then the scene changes In the
second act to India, 80 that there is abundant
opportunity for the gorgeously spectacular:
There are three or four love affairs which, Of
course, come out happily, and streak OF
farce comedy runs through it all. Little Ids
Mule, Cupid" of former days, carries of
the honors. She is pretty substantial fol
"Cupid" now, but she is as cute and cunning
as ever.
EXTRAORDINARY
Of Herminie, which will be played at Proc
tors on the first three days of next week, the
New York World says: The leading roles
were filled by William Redmund and Mrs
Thomas Barry, the latter long and well known
as member of the Boston Museum Stoek
company. The play is laid in the stirring
scenes of the Franco-Prussian war, and from
FIRST to last is of thrilling interest.

nings of November 20, December 5. 10, 10
