the audience. There is no provision
in the bylaws of the society for the
exclusion of cattle, horses, jackasses,
hyenas, non-descripts and other
species of wild and domestic animals
of the two-legged species, but at the
meeting of the society last Tuesday
evening, after the entertainment, it
was decided to clear the hall OF this
herd hereafter if order is not pre-
served. Those, if there should be any,
who shall be escorted to the door,
will have their names placed on the
black list and never after be permit
ted to enter the hall while the society
holds forth. 1t is an i'll wind that
blows no good, and this racket is not
an unmixed evil. 1t is great help
to the orchestra, as the players are
