ballad containing such platitudes as the
sacred trust transmitted to the starry
banuer by the band of pilgrims who knelt

tunity to let his voice be heard, is like
the ways of Providence, mysterious and
past finding out.
Mrs. w. Huater Brown name @ very at
tractive Princess CT Grenada, but, unfor-

COMEDIANS HARD TO EXCEL.
There has seldom been sucn group OF
good comedians on any stage as that pre-
sented bv these amateurs. Mr. Frank
Motion as Pietro, the brigand lieutenant,
was whole show in himself. His
gags" and business were exceedingly
funny, while his topical song II got it, =
was the hit of the season. Mr.. Charles 5.
Morgan was the equal of Mr. Molten. He
too had an originality and grim humor
about him, which was simply irresistible.
There is so much of the simon pure COM
median about Mr.. Morgan that an old
last nights audience. would not be con-
vinced that he was not a professional.
Messrs. l.. w. Burton and Henry Bright
were also good, and with Messrs. Molten
and Morgan, made a quartette of funny
men that added piquancy to the entire
performance.
Mr.. George W. r Fallon, as the Cap
tain of the Carbineers, looked very pretty
in his uniform. and as stutterer did very
well. But as drunken Gardiner George
is not a bowling success.
Mr.. John d. Shaw, as the Count de
Campo-Tasso, acted and sang well, and
Mr.. HI. e. Nichols, as the Cashier to the
kirk, as the innkeeper. and Mr.. Alex.
Ahrens, as the courier, made the most of
the small parts allotted them.
PRETTY PEASANT GIRLS.
Mrs. Clara Henly and Misses Nettie
Hellerman, Mabel Rodger and May
Smith made a pretty and tuneful
quartette of Italian peasant girls. Mrs.
the wife and daughter of the innkeeper,
did in creditable manner all that was
required of them. The important parts
of brigands, carbfneers, cooks, spantards,
courlers and peasants, who made up the
excellent chorus. were filled by:-
