The Pirates of Penzance, to be produced
by the Amateurs this and Wednesday nights,
promises to be the event of the season, and
will be attended by large proportion of our
best known citizens. 1t has not been the
custom here. as 1t is in larger cities, for gen.
tlemen to attend the theatre in evening
dress, but on this occasion it is understood
that many of the gentlemen will wear dress
suits and the ladies will remove their hats,
in honor of their friends, the Amateurs. Ev-
erybody is talking of the opera, and there
has been a large advance sale of seats. I'm
der.the musical direction of Mr.. Walter Goold
and stage direction of Mr.. j. A. Montgom

cy that will surprise and please their friends
and all who attend. The new scenery,

Is especially fine. Good seats can still be Sc
cured.
