representation of Katisha by Mrs. w.

and caused much laughter with his local
hits in the song GIVE got them on the

tator with his long whiskers who struts
about town trying to turn everything
upside down." also the road supervisor,
Punchbowl road, etc. Messrs. Hoogs
and Levers, the three little maids, and
the other leading characters were all
that could be desired. The chorus
sang in fine style throughout. Bouquets
were as numerous as fans, and two MEM

ceiving vegetable bouquets.
During the day there was much feel
ing among the members of the company
at an unprofessional demand made by
Prof Sauvlet for his services as con-
ductor which nearly ended in no per-
Torrance being given. He apologized
after the performance was over IN the
evening, saying it was misunder-
standing on his part.
